Components brief

LNG tanks- These components are meant to store Liquefied Natural Gas 80000cum capacity each within the steel tank. A RCC with pre-stress arrangement for the cables structure of about 80 m dia, 800 mm thick wall as we as a height of 50 m was used for the prevention spillage. Each tank was provided a spillage tank outside at finished ground level. The top of the tank was a permanent formed cupola structure raised to the level by compressed air. Cryogenic steel was used to maintain about (–)60 degrees temperature of the condensed gas. The concrete of the circular walls was poured using kwickform in 5 m lifts. A cantilever operational platform was constructed on the cupola.
Compressors-Compressors are to be installed as a part of trains for the Ethylene production unit. Being heavy reciprocating machines to be installed on massive foundations at elevated levels tabletops are constructed resting on massive concrete foundation. Foundation concrete for one compressor being 400 cum about 25m long, 12 m wide as well as 2 m deep. This carried thick columns above to support tabletop. Steel plate inserted between the equipment & epoxy grout. Tabletops are constructed of thick framed slabs resting on thick columns. The arrangement of the tabletop slabs are complicated in all respects about civil as well as mechanical inserts. Such type of thick & massive elements require special type of cement probably with high slag replacement which could be pulverized fly ash or ground granulated fibres or microsilica. Particular arrangements are worked for the curing solutions for such low heat generating cements to effect thermal curing methods.
Cracking gas furnaces- this meant for the purpose of cracking gas from the refinery as bye product for the transmission to the compressors for the production of ethane as well as propane. These are tall heavy structures vertically oriented in group of vessels & founded on a common base.
Other structures included wash water structures, auxiliary boilers within the processing train. Also included various spheres to contain gases as well as tanks for storage. Foundations for the tanks are generally constructed of RCC ring beams. Other structures are provided with independent footings stripped using grade beams.
Seawater basin- A RCC open reservoir meant to collect water from sea through 2 # 84” pipes, supply to the plant various trains requirement & after cooling the system dispose water to be disposed from the industrial locations to the receiving basin & then to outfall chamber. It is a huge voluminous open structure constructed of RCC base slabs provided construction joints during construction, peripheral retaining walls up to 12 m high not more than 9 m panel as well as covered pump house area & baffles. Such structures must be water tight from all locations of the water storage portions duly tested for water tightness using BS 8007 criteria. Concrete protection is applied for both below ground as well as above ground surfaces.
Many other stationary as well as vibratory equipments are included for the processing plants for which foundations are constructed accordingly either as footings bases or combined footings. These horizontal or vertical vessels are erected on these bases connected using anchor bolts & grouting done between the sitting steel plate & the top of concrete. For vibratory equipment, epoxy grouting is applied while for stationary, cementitious.
Sump chambers – These covered chambers are used for the collection of water from various catchment areas & constructed of RCC underground structures duly tested for water tightness using BS 8007 criteria. Concrete protection is applied for both below ground as well as above ground surfaces.
Manholes, catch basins, rainwater ditches, etc are constructed using RCC.

Manholes are meant for the sewerage line oily manholes for oily discharge, catch basins for rainwater. Generally, these units are in large numbers for any plant area making it preferable to produce by pre casting on site for which all working details for the yard are required to be issued to site.


Open ditches are constructed for the discharge of storm water. These ditches can also be used for the purpose to give way to fire water disposal during any fire on the installation. This may also be used for the purpose of any water line maintenance discharge from any single loop. At the commencement the section is shallow but as it reached moving within various catchments, the section is considerably deepened like a big drain.
Piping of carbon steel or ductile iron or Fiber reinforced plastics family GRP, ERP, GRE etc are used depending on the requirement & structural adequacy to sustain various imposable stresses. Stress analysis is carried out for various loops giving the location of various supports as well as anchoring requirement. Various types of supports are designed for varying diameter of the pipes for the on ground or underground or aboveground use.
FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) Pipes

RTRP stands for reinforced thermosetting resin pipe, a composite material consisting of a thermosetting polymer, a type of polyster reinforced with glass or other fibers that provide strength & stiffness to a composite material. Different type of resins used for manufacturing GRP, GRV & GRE pipes are Isophthalic resin, Vinylester resin & Epoxy resin respectively that are selected according to the required properties like chemical resistance, temperature resistance & mechanical properties. The resins provide thermal & chemical properties such as glass transition temperature, resistance to heat, chemical resistance etc. required for finished product. The properties of GRP pipes can be varied by changing the ratio of raw materials as well as winding angle. These pipes consist of three layers adherent to each having different characteristics in relation to functional requirement.


Inner Liner – Veil (Glass), Resin: CSM (Glass), Resin

Structural wall - Roving (Glass), Resin

External liner- Veil (Glass), Resin
Inner Liner – Veil (Glass), Resin: CSM (Glass), Resin

Inner Liner one is chemical resistant being in direct contact with fluid & therefore, responsible to resist chemical corrosion as well as permeability. The internal surface is particularly smooth to reduce the fluid head losses & also opposes the growth of minerals & algae. Lines has two monolithic sub layers. Inner in contact with fluid is reinforced with glass veil with a resin content 90 %, outer reinforced with CSM glass with resin content 70 % by weight. The standard liner thickness is about 0.5 to 1.5 mm.


Structural wall - Roving (Glass), Resin

Glass Reinforced layers guarantee the mechanical resistance of the whole pipe against stresses due to internal & external pressure, external loads as well as thermal loads. For GRP / GRV pipes, the layer is obtained by applying on the previous partly cured liner continuous riving of glass wetted with resin under controlled tension. For GRE pipes, the structural wall is wound directly on a wet liner. The layer can contain aggregates like silica sand if allowed by specifications while thickness depends on design conditions.


External liner- Veil (Glass), Resin

Topcoat or external liner is the outer layer of pipe consisting of pure resin. UV protectors may be added if so required to protect the pipe from solar exposure. In case of severe exposure condition like aggressive soils or very corrosive environment, the external liner can be reinforced with a surfing veil or added with filters or pigments.

Fiberglass composites consist of glass fiber reinforcements, thermosetting resins & additives designed & processed to meet specific functional performance criteria.

Amount, type & orientation of glass fibers in pipe provides mechanical strength. C Glass, E glass & ECR / Advantex glass are used commonly depending on pipe application. Various forms of glass reinforcements are surface veil, chopped strand mat (CSM), chopped roving, filament roving & woven roving (WR).

Raw materials like catalyst, accelerators, inhibitors, aggregates & pigments are used together with resin & glass reinforcements to achieve desired properties of fiber glass product. Catalyst is an organic compound which when added to resin in presence of an accelerator determines the polymerization reaction at ambient temperature. Acceletor is a chemical compound used together with a catalyst to shorten the polymerization time. Inhibitor is added to the resin to reduce reactivity at ambient temperature.

There are two manufacturing processes Dual helical filament winding process & the other being Continuous winding process (Drostholm)


Pipe racks are used for the purpose of running the piping from one point to the other over ground levels. These are generally steel structures founding on RCC footings but RCC frames structures are also used. Several km of pipes are run on these racks supported & anchored to the rack structures. These are fully accessible structures for maintenance purpose. Open flooring is provided.
Heat tracing is applied on the piping carrying minus degree gas which may freeze during flow & block pipes for the protection of which, the heat is continuously maintained on the piping to keep the gas in the condensed form. Various loops are provided on the piping routes for various purposes.
Pipe supports / sleepers are used for the purpose of carrying the pipes at near ground levels. These are RCC units located at defined spacing. For direct support of the pipes, steel structural supports are used remaining connected or touching pipe by shoes over lengths at various spacing meant for the purpose of sliding also. For deciding the locations of the supports & the anchorage, stress analysis is conducted that dictates the spacing, dimensions & the pipe structural base design. For a pipe of dia not more than 4 m, not more than 12 m spacing is adopted. For other smaller dia pipes, the spacing depends up on the standard length of the pipes. Pipes that need sliding movement at the joints are provided such a base that allows the movement of the pipe in the direction of its run. For that, PTFE (Poly Tetra Fluro Ethylene) bearings fixed on steel plates duly designed to withstand imposed force are provided. Below the pipe support shoe steel portion, a stainless steel plate is provided so that this plate slides over the PTFE pads.
Anchor sleepers, big sleepers, thrust blocks are used at various points depending on the stress analysis requirement on the en-route pipeline. These are thick & voluminous structures requiring thousand of cum of RCC for an individual sleeper connecting a group of pipes. On the pipe loops various kinds of stresses from all directions are imposed during operations or flows which are to be resisted by these sleepers. At the change in directions of the pipe routes as well as at the Tee locations etc, big sleepers or thrust blocks are provided to resist the resultant forces. These are constructed of massive blocks of RCC.
Access platforms are constructed to access to an area above the pipe level for the maintenance purpose. EOT cranes are installed for the maintenance as well as lifting & placing the pipes & other items in the shops. These also meet the crossing over pipes requirement. Proper ladders, handrails & open floorings are provided for the safe access.
RCC box culverts are used for the cross over of the underground pipes below roads. Pipes culverts are also used wherever required. For the accommodation of the spillage tanks, bunding is carried out around to hold oil during spillage. Pipes are connected to the base slab using steel connecting arrangements. Enough space is allowed for the maintenance purpose for free movement as well as circulation.
Receiving basin is meant for the collection of used water purpose to further discharge into the outfall at the sea. This is also a considerable size of structure collecting water from the return piping headers discharge, letting it accumulate & the dispose into the outfall channel for further discharge into the sea. Various types of steel stop logs are installed to control the flow according to the capacity of the channel & the receiving basin keeping abreast also the maintenance function of the piping. Structure consists of RCC retaining walls in the flow direction & RCC base slab.
Flare towers are required to establish a system to dispose safely into the environment the gases that cannot be used any further keeping in view that the compositions of the disposable gas does not deteriorate the environment. Height of these towers are kept considerably so that gases are burn away into the environment safely. Proper arrangements are done for the founding as well as the stability of the tall structure.
Pump houses are installed as large size & highly elevated steel buildings housing a train of various pumps, electrical equipment, chlorination plant, rotary drums, intake equipment etc. The piping is routed on ground, vertically as well as horizontally on various types of supports of complex design. Various types of structural steel access platforms are built for the operational & maintenance purpose. These water is pumped into the supply manifolds located just outside where is applied the chlorination & then the pipes are routed to the main route on ground up to various industrial users. Hundreds of thousand cum of RCC structures are built for the supporting bases as well as for the anchoring arrangements depending -
