5 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
5.2 Manpower
Construction Superintendent will plan the work activities and ensure that is in accordance to Company
standard and specification.
Responsible for maintaining applicable safety plans, providing guidance, and monitoring so that
nobody bypasses safe working procedure.
6 WORK ACTIVITIES
6.1.1 Mobilization
SICIM will obtain necessary permit prior to start of work, from the Company and Government Authority
in-charge of the area where construction activities will be performed.
SICIM will comply with all mobilization’s pre-requisites for its personnel and equipment (e.g., approved
PQRs, vehicle certification, personnel badging, trainings, etc.)
SICIM will ensure that Side Boom Operators use spotters while traversing under power lines and
overhead hazards.
Lifting works are shown in Appendix 3 (A) and Appendix 3 (B) of this document.
6.1.5 Trenching
Contractor will excavate the pipeline trench within the surveyed and staked centerline of the
pipeline.
Excavation profiles for pipelines will follow the sketch shown in Appendix 2A: Typical Trench
Sand/Loam Area.
Inspection of excavated material will be conducted both by SICIM, Geotech and Company.
Material suitable for backfill which is <30% fines will be stockpiled adjacent to trench and will be
labeled as “Soil Suitable for Backfill” while unsuitable soil will be disposed as per Company
approved disposal area.
Only excavated material suitable for use as backfill shall be deposited alongside the trench at a
safe distance from the edge of the trench.
The trench shall be excavated to provide a minimum distance depth of cover as specified on the
pipeline construction alignment sheet drawings and specific crossing drawing.
Table 3 shown below is the minimum requirement of the of the distance depth of cover as per
Company standard PPL-SU-1800-TCO.
SICIM will maintain trench in good condition, has been dewatered (drained) and dry until pipeline
is laid in place and backfilled.
Inspect soft spots, replace, and properly pack with bedding material. Soft spot inspection required.
SICIM will provide and use sheet piles, struts, jacks, pumps, etc. (as required) to maintain trench
in dry (free from water) and good condition until pipeline is laid in place and backfilled.
SICIM banksman will attend the operation of each unit of excavation equipment to prevent
personnel entering the field of work of the excavation equipment.
6.2.1 Pre-requisites
6.2.1.3 Lowering During Winter for Fuel Gas Pipelines (4” and 6”)
Company agrees that 4” and 6” Fuel Gas pipelines can be lowered-in during winter, only and only if
temperature of the pipeline during installation is not lower than minus 5 degrees Celsius. This only
applies to the above referenced pipelines and does not apply to other pipelines in the Contractor’s
scope.
Lowering will be carried out by SICIM with the use of side booms and use of excavator as back up for
lowering in. SICIM will ensure that the pipe is not over stressed during lowering operations by limiting
side boom spacing to less than or equal to that specified in the Pipeline Lifting Plan, see Appendix 3
(A) and Pipeline Lowering in Plan, see Appendix 3 (B). To determine the pipeline section load is
sufficient to withstand side booms to be used, see Appendix 4: Pipeline Lift Calculation and Appendix
5: Pipeline Lowering - In Calculation.
Side booms and excavator as back up for lowering in and lifting aids and lifting rigs will be inspected
prior to lowering in of pipeline. Wide non-abrasive slings / belts will be used for pipe sizes 4” to 8” and
roller cradles or non-abrasive rubber rollers or choker belts will be used for pipe sizes 16” to 20” in all
lowering operations and care will be taken when removing the slings from around the coated pipe after
it has been lowered into the trench.
SICIM will check that no pipe will be lowered into the trench until it has been inspected, prepared, and
approved for receipt of pipe in accordance with requirements of Company ITP.
SICIM will check pipe is in center of trench and conforms to all side bend, over bend and sag bend
without adding any external stress to the pipe.
SICIM Rigging supervisor or foreman will monitor the lowering activities to ensure that pipe is centrally
placed inside the trench and the pipe is being lifted uniformly off its skids avoiding pipe jarring on the
trench wall that may result in trench wall collapse.
6.2.2.1 Shorter Length Pipeline Sections
Table 4: Maximum Side Boom Distance
4” (114.3 mm) 10 m
6” (168.3 mm) 10 m
8” (219.1mm) 10 m
For the parts of pipe strings that have short length will be lowered into the trench gradually and
uniformly, see Appendix 3 (A).
Use of Side Booms will be of sufficient number and capacity and will be placed at appropriate intervals,
to prevent drooping, sliding, overturning, or buckling of the pipe string.
Use of excavator for lowering in (to be use as back up). Pipe string will not be dragged, dropped, or
subjected to jarring or impact.
When the pipe string is lowered, it shall conform to the trench bottom without the use of external force
to hold it in place.
Trench bottom will be properly bedded and compacted to support the pipe uniformly.
All voids under the pipe shall be carefully filled approved bedding material.
1. Place the Side Boom at a distance as shown in Appendix 5: Pipeline Lowering-In Calculations
at 6 m overhang on both ends.
2. Lift the pipeline section to a height of 0.50 meter from bottom of pipe (BOP) to ground.
3. Move the pipeline section towards the trench axis by lowering the boom and lower the pipeline
section, after the pipeline section reached the center line of the trench.
4. Remove the load and lowering sling after entire pipeline section length is rested on the bed.
5. Lowered pipeline will have a clearance of 200 mm on either side of the trench.
6.2.2.2 Longer Length Pipeline Sections
Table 5: Maximum Side Boom Distance
4” (114.3 mm) 10 m
6” (168.3 mm) 10 m
8” (219.1mm) 10 m
When lowering-in long pipe strings, Side Booms shall advance along the trench, always leaving
enough equipment holding the pipe to prevent it from sliding against the trench wall, overturning, or
buckling, see Appendix 3 (B).
Sequence of pipeline lowering are as follows:
1. Maximum length of pipe section will be 800 meters to 1000 meters, Side Booms with 60 Tons
capacity will be used for this operation.
2. 3 to 4 nos. of Side Booms will be placed at a radius of 1.50 m and at a distance as shown in
Appendix 5: Pipeline Lowering-In Calculations and install wide non-abrasive slings or lowering
belts will be used for pipe sizes 4” to 8” while non-abrasive roller belts or roller cradles or
choker belts will be used for pipe sizes 16” to 20”.
3. All lifting and lowering activities will be controlled by a competent SICIM rigging supervisor /
foreman. SICIM rigging supervisor / foreman deployed for this operation will command and
control activities by standard rigging hand signals, directions to the side boom/crane operators.
Maneuvering must be done in a manner to ensure that the pipe is centrally placed in the trench
and that the pipe is being lifted uniformly off its skids. Simultaneously lift the pipeline section
with all side booms to height of 0.50 meter from bottom of pipe (BOP) to ground. Lifting of
each side boom will be controlled by SICIM Rigging supervisor / foreman maintaining a gentle
and smooth “S” curve.
4. Pipe section will be positioned into the trench until free end of pipe section is approximately
situated over the center of the trench. Section will then be gradually lowered until the pipe
touches the bedding material. Move the pipeline towards trench axis by lowering the boom
and simultaneously lowering the pipe into the trench. Care shall be taken so that side boom
moves towards the trench axis and lower the pipe section in the trench.
5. After the first section of 10 m to 15 m lowered and rested on the trench, Side boom 4 releases
the load on pipe while Side booms 1, 2 and 3 are still engaged to hold the pipe load. Side
boom 4 advances until near Side boom 3, sliding its belt along pipe after this section has been
lowered into trench. After Side boom 4 provides to lift the pipe while Side boom 3 leaves the
load and advances to Side boom 2, making the same operation of Side boom 4. Load on Side
booms will be released only after ensuring that hoist break of balance Side booms are
engaged to hold the pipe load. (For example, load on Side Boom 1 will be released only after
ensuring that hoist break of Side Booms 2, 3 and 4 are engaged). Please NOTE that this
action is not required when using roller cradles for lowering - in.
6. After ensuring the hold-lift of all Side booms, Side boom 2 repeats itself identical actions and
for the last Side boom 1 advances forward to create original smooth “S” curve. All Side booms
continue this detailed sequence until completion of the entire length. Please NOTE that this
action is not required when using roller cradles for lowering - in.
7. All lifting and descending activities will be carried out by a trained rigging team under the
supervision of competent personnel.
8. When lowered, pipeline shall have a clearance of 200 mm on either side of the trench.
9. All equipment used for lifting and handling the pipeline and its components shall be tested,
inspected, and certified by approved authority.
Location and extent of pipeline route bend trench construction along the pipeline shall be as
defined by chainage in the relevant Project Pipeline Route Bend Schedule.
Pipeline shall be coated in “ROCKSHIELD” 11mm thick PVC strand extruded pad “TUFF-n-NUFF”
or Company approved equivalent. “ROCKSHIELD” installation procedure shall be in accordance
with manufacturer’s instructions.
SICIM survey team will conduct a top of pipeline profile survey, weld, and bend location survey
prior to commencing final bedding and backfilling above the crown of the pipeline.
This top of pipe survey data will be calculated by surveyors to provide MEBR acceptance criteria
and submitted as as-laid pipeline profile for review and approval by Company prior to covering the
pipe with bedding/padding and backfill.
The purpose of this top of pipe survey is to verify if the installed pipeline is in accordance with the
specifications and MEBR relevant to the project alignment sheets.
If MEBR is out of tolerance, the pipe placement in trench will be adjusted with bedding material
removal or addition to correct MEBR.
Survey data will be recorded and calculated to correct for errors and to ensure that collected results
are as accurate as possible.
Calculations of collected survey data will be efficient, repeatable, and documented in which SICIM
survey team will submit to prove the adequacy of the installed pipeline MEBR compliance for
Company approval.
Sample Calculation of EBR is shown in Appendix 6: Top of Pipeline Survey Calculation of EBR
Closer interval surveys will be needed to achieve reliable survey results for non-straight sections
of pipeline.
NFI / Geo Services will verify the survey data. This shall be done simultaneously as SICIM survey
as the pipe will be back filled the same day.
Notification of the inspection process should be managed well in advance to avoid delays; calls
must be well managed to avoid delays or unnecessary inspection visits.
Table 6 is the minimum requirement of the Intervals for Top of Pipeline Survey Points as per
Company standard PPL-SU-1800-TCO.
Placement of bedding material will be carried out in such a manner to ensure that there are no
voids within the depth of padding or bedding, see Appendix 2 (A): Typical Pipeline Trench for
Sand/Loam Area.
Trench bedding/padding material shall be fine grained granular material, Type 1B (t) imported from
local borrow pits and in accordance with Project Specification 040-0000-SSS-SPE-000-000-
00002-00, Specification for Granular Materials for Use in Road Construction and Site
Development.
Trench bottom bedding / padding shall be laid and compacted in the trench to a minimum depth
of 200 mm prior to pipeline lowering in, compaction will be done by means of excavator bucket
levelling.
After lowering-in, compacted bedding/padding material (final bedding/padding) will be placed
above the pipe to fill the trench to a minimum depth of 200 mm above the top / crown of pipeline
and compacted by means of bucket levelling of the excavator assuring that no contact with pipe
and under close watch by surveyor or trench supervisor/foreman and operator.
Immediately following lowering-in and any tie-in operations, padding and compaction shall be
completed around the sides of the pipeline up to the area of the crown, paying particular attention
to good compaction around the haunches of the pipe.
The final padding layer (200mm above the crown) and the backfill shall commence after the OOS
Survey.
Use of excavator bucket levelling for the compaction of the final bedding / padding material as per
soil density of 1,700 kg/m3.
Backfill layers (using 300 mm maximum) within depths of 1250 mm from ground level will be
compacted by means of bucket levelling or walk behind roller compactor (not more than 1 metric
Ton) to be lowered in by crane. See Table 16: Equipment List.
Backfilling material to be used will be loose excavated material not greater than 100 mm in
diameter and subject to Company approval.
Compaction of trench backfill shall be to either a density equivalent to that of the adjacent
unexcavated soil verified using TROXLER (or Company approved equivalent) density gauge
readings or a minimum soil density of 1,700 kg/m3 whichever is greater.
The final layer can be placed in the trench to a level slightly above surrounding ground.
At specific route bend extents 6F(d) backfill material is required. Installation of Rock Shield at
specific route bends, to protect pipe coating from 6F(d). See Appendix 2 (B): Typical Pipeline
Trench and at Route Bends
Backfill material at specific pipeline route bends will be 6F(d), SICIM will not use excavated soil
which is Stratum 1B soil type.
SICIM shall employ services of Company approved, suitably qualified Geotech Specialist to
determine if excavated material is suitable for backfill and will also determine the suitability of the
excavated material for re-use as backfill material complying with the requirements of the Company
by means of laboratory testing (particle size distribution, cutting ring test etc.).

General Consideration:
Bent pipes should always be treated with high care during lowering. Initially, bent pipes are already
stressed by cold bending process. Additional stresses due to lifting and lowering may or may not
exceed its allowable yield strength. But it is correct to assume 30.50% of yield strength for over-bend
pipes. The bottom side of the over-bend pipe is initially compressed. Possibilities of tensile action at
the bottom side during lowering may occur. Bausch Inger effect will be experienced by the pipe. It is
normally associated with conditions where the yield strength of a metal decreases when the direction
of strain is changed. It is evident of change direction of strain on over-bend pipes when lowering it.
Thus, cold compressed section will be tensed. For sag-bend pipes, it is also evident that when lowering
it, cold tensed side of the pipe will be more tensed. It is why the allowable stress is assumed not to
exceed 50% of the yield strength. It is acceptable and more conservative to apply 50% of yield strength.
In AISC, allowable stress is 60% of yield strength, which means yield strength (Fy) is divided by
1.67(), Fy / 1.67 = 0.6Fy. In SNiP 2.01.07-85 (Load and Effects), limits of vertical deflection can be
obtained from Table 19. Lowering pipes will be treated as moved structural elements and will have a
deflection limit of L/350. But this calculation considers L/500 by considering other unforeseen load
effects.
