Shifting/Re-routing of LPG Feeder pipeline segments of
VSPL in view of road expansion for M/s VPT port
connectivity by M/s NHAI
SCOPE OF WORK
GAIL VSPL Vizag is maintaining and operating approx. 240 Km of LPG pipeline from DT
Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh till SV-14.LPG is injected into GAIL VSPL network at DT Vizag
through 3 No’s feeder pipelines from sources Cavern, HPCL Refinery and East India petroleum Ltd.
(EIPL). These feeder pipelines of 12inch diameter were laid from above mentioned which is parallel
and adjacent to the port road.
This port road is proposed to be extended from existing 2 lane to 4 lane system by M/s VPT through
NHAI. GAIL VSPL 3 No’s feeder pipelines i.e. C-line, H-Line and EIPL pipelines are to be shifted to
a new ROU for facilitating the road expansion by NHAI.
The Scope of Work includes but not limited to the following:
The scope of work includes
1. Retrieval of portion of LPG feeder pipelines one after another from existing ROU.
2. Laying of LPG feeder pipelines one after another in the new ROU provided by M/s VPT.

Excavation, Cutting and retrieval of underground pipeline
Retrieval of 3 feeder pipeline that needs to be carried are C-Line,-Line and E-Line.
The pipeline data is as below
Size: 12inch diameter.
Pipe Grade: API 5L X-60 7.1mm/8.7mm/6.4mm.
Coating: Yes, 3LPE.
Cathodic protection: Yes
These pipelines are at a depth of around 1.2m to 1.6m and all the 3No’s pipelines are present
in a ROU width of 5m. The horizontal distance/gap between each pipeline is around 1m-2m
and even at some places are very close due to the restricted ROU.
Retrieval of all these feeder pipelines approx. 2200m each from old ROU is to be carried
one after another so as to ensure NIL interruption of LPG feed to VSPL network through the
operating feeder pipelines.
The probable sequence of Retrieval is
H-Line  E-LineC-Line
Scope of work:-
1. Mobilization of team along with required number of backhoe/excavator/equipment to
the site, ROU opening (GAIL scope)
2. Grading existing old ROU is also included in the scope of this SOR.
3. Removal of all types of soil/any other surface by excavation/cutting.
4. Retrieval of pipeline by cutting. Retrieval of the pipelines to be carried as per site
conditions/demands and as per instructions from EIC.
5. During pipes retrieval the pipeline section shall be cut suitably as per site conditions
taking in consideration the presence of GAIL feeder pipelines and third party utilities
like pipelines, electrical poles, fences & walls etc.
6. HDPE Duct with OFC will be present in the existing ROU where retrieval is to be
carried, hence necessary caution/care to be taken so as to not cause any damage to the
OFC and duct.
7. Approx. 2000m of H-Line and E-Line which is retrieved is to be laid in ROU
adjoining the old ROU. i.e. retrieved pipes are to be laid in the new ROU. Hence at
most care is to be taken in handling these retrieved pipes. Any physical damages like
buckling, dents, gouges etc. are to be attended by the contractor. No separate rate is
payable for such negligence. Existing Coating of pipeline shall be intact and holiday
testing will also need to be carried. For coating damages SOR.8 under Part-D to be
utilized.
8. 2000m pipe of new pipeline to be laid for C-Line. Hence retrieved C-Line pipes are to
be transported to DT Vizag (approx. 2-3 km from retrieved place).
17
9. For Loading & un-loading of retrieved pipe to adjoining nearby ROU/GAIL DT
Vizag, SOR No.2 under Part-E to be utilized. However for transportation of retrieved
pipes ,SOR.4 under Part-E to be utilized
10. Belts, Slings, D-Shackles and etc. required during the retrieval and excavation works
are in the scope of this SOR.
11. KM markers, Warning markers, TLP (CP boxes), OFC inspection chambers etc. are to
be safely removed/dismantled and to be installed in the new ROU. All associated
works related to these are included in the scope of this SOR.
12. Contractor shall be wholly responsible for any mishaps occurring as result of their
negligence.
Hiring of lifting equipment/Excavator
Supply (Mobilization & Demobilization) & operation including operator, Diesel, helper
and any other consumables. Machinery movement shall be in all types of soils and in all
weather conditions for Loading/unloading of retrieved pipes & new pipes. The
Machinery deployed should have all necessary documents as required by Transport
authorities. All Toll Taxes and any other statutory taxes/rates etc. are to be borne by
contractor. May include JCB/Hydra 14.0MT/Proclainer (Ex-70 / 200) as per site
conditions/demands/requirements.
Supply of Nitrogen
1. Supply of Nitrogen either by tanker or Cascading cylinders. The quantity of Nitrogen
