HAZOP Study

3.2.2 Pipeline Route An optimum pipeline alignment transmits water with the most direct routes possible at the lowest capital and operating expense. The routing and alignment shall carefully consider the following constraints. Conflicts with surface or subsurface facilities and structures Hydraulic constraints of the system Property values Paralleling existing roadways or rights-of-way Year-round accessibility Route geology, topography and soil chemistry Environmental sensitive areas

The route of the pipeline has been discussed with SWCC and the pipeline route has been approved by SWCC.Reference is made to Pipeline route drawings (QP10-U-1000).

3.2.3 Excavation Excavation must be conducted in accordance with the requirements established by the U.S Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Shoring may be required at certain locations due to the depth of the excavation required for these pipes (more than 3.5 m to crown) and due to space constraints in some location along the pipeline route. Shoring design and trench safety will be the responsibility of the contractor. Selection of the protective system (shoring), and/or angle of excavated slopes shall be determined after considering applicable (OSHA) safety standards, regulations and the recommendations adapted from the geotechnical investigation. Pipeline construction efficiency is typically optimized where available space allows stringing pipe and stock piling pipe material, excavation of the trench, and storage of the excavated material shall be all within the available right-of-way. In general excavation shall be as per specification L01 Pipeline construction.

3.2.4 Bedding & Padding Material used for bedding of pipes shall be of selected nature with properties which will not have any negative impact on the pipes, joints and coating. If no such selected material can be recovered directly from the excavation material, suitable material may be produced by sieving of excavation material or otherwise has to be imported. The padding material shall be placed around the pipes such that each pipe is embedded in an annulus of selected material not less than 200 mm in thickness. In principle the same material as specified for pipe bed preparation shall also be used for padding. In general Bedding and Padding shall comply with specification L01 Pipeline construction.

3.2.5 Backfill 3.2.5.1 Backfill Material Large rocks or stones, rubbish, vegetable growth or other material which is unsuitable for backfill, shall not be put back into the trench but shall be collected and disposed of. Any consequent deficiency in material shall be made good with suitable imported material. The remaining excavated material of suitable quality together with any imported material shall be returned to the trench. The backfill material may be heaped up along the trench line to leave a crown of approximately 300 mm above adjacent natural ground level to ensure a minimum of 1.30 m total pipe cover, unless otherwise specified or required by the Employer. Surplus excavated subsoil, if any, shall be removed from Site or spread over the right-of-way on exposed subsoil. Surplus subsoil shall not be spread on topsoil. 3.2.5.2 Compaction of Backfill Compaction of backfill material is only required at special sections as detailed below:

At inhabited areas At road areas, the crossings of roads or at areas involved by transit loads (trail desert areas, etc.) At the crossings of pipelines and cables At the areas where the pipeline is laid within the ROW of an existing or future road. crossings in

Rev. 2

For the remaining trench sections no compaction is foreseen or required. In the sections defined during detailed design the material put back into the trench up to natural ground (and above) shall be duly compacted with Proctor density of 95 % according to DIN 18127, or as required by the respective authority. Compaction at above mentioned locations shall be done according to the following procedure: Backfill materials up to a level 500 mm below the final ROW level shall be very gently and carefully compacted to avoid damage to the pipeline coating and internal lining. Only small compactors shall be allowed within this range. For the remaining backfill, medium size roller compactors may be used. Backfilling works shall be carried out as soon as possible after jointing and padding is complete in order to give the pipe a natural anchorage, avoiding harmful actions of adverse weather conditions and caving in of the trench walls. Backfilling of trenches opened at crossings of roadways, pavements or other public areas shall be carried out immediately after laying the pipeline in conformity with the request of the proponent authority, and all temporary and permanent surface restorations shall quickly be completed. Sections of ground with significant slope in which the upper part of the backfilling is likely to be eroded by rains, efficient drain ditches or other works suitable to prevent scouring shall be implemented. Moreover, dams consisting of earth bags or sand sacks, properly spaced, shall be bound and connected to the natural ground of the trench wall by adequate supports, where necessary. Diversionary furrows shall also be provided if necessary to direct the flow of water into natural drainage courses and away from the pipeline trench. Movement of fine graded particles within the trench shall be avoided by provision of geotextile on the back side of the sand bag barriers. During backfilling temporary markers, suitable for locating the axis of the pipeline shall be installed. These temporary markers shall later be replaced by final markers. In general Backfill shall be as per specification L01 Pipeline construction.

3.2.6 Depth of Cover The design depth of cover for the Project pipeline will generally be a minimum of (0.8-1.0) m to address the factors discussed below:

External loadings from earth and superimposed loads (i.e., Traffic and farm machinery); Utility conflicts Future excavation for utilities Pipeline grading to avoid the need for extra air-vacuum or air release valves (as possible)

External Loadings: The pipe structure must be designed to handle the imposed earth loads and superimposed loads aboveground without damage to the pipe, its lining, or its protective surface coatings. Except in the case of very deep or relatively wide trenches, the internal pressures have typically controlled pipe design. The current OSHA standards will typically result in wider trenches and increased earth loads on the pipe. This needs to be considered as part of final design in order to optimize cost-effectiveness. Utility Conflicts: When other utilities are encountered on the pipeline grade, they must either be avoided or protected. Generally, this is accomplished by installing the proposed pipeline deeper, or relocating the other utility. Utilities, such as sewers, which must be maintained on grade, are difficult to relocate. In some instances, the water supply pipeline may have to be installed deeper with adequate separation (for avoiding contamination) or the alignment changed to avoid conflicts with known future utilities. Future Excavations: Future utility and other excavations in the vicinity of the buried pipeline have the potential of damaging the pipe. The proposed 0.8-1.0 m cover would place the pipe below most typical excavations. Pipeline locations will need to be identified, documented and signed where appropriate. Pipeline Grading: Pipeline grading to avoid installation of air-vacuum and air-release valves when small elevation changes are encountered (hummocks) must be traversed and may result in shallower or deeper cover in specific instances. In general depth of cover shall be as per specification L01 Pipeline construction.

3.2.7 Pipe Materials Steel pipeline with cement mortar lining and three layer polyethylene coating will be used for the project for main line and branch line. Steel pipe (ASTM, API 5L) is manufactured to a wide variety of sizes and wall thickness.

3.2.12 Corrosion Protection Corrosion evaluation and mitigation measures will be considered during the design and development of the transmission pipeline system once the final pipeline alignment is selected. Various corrosion protection methods related to mortar linings and 3 layers polyethylene coating are required. All steel pipe joints will be electrically bonded. It is anticipated to use an impressed current system. The use of impressed current method for cathodic protection will depend on the results and recommendations of the onsite specific corrosion evaluation. Insulation flange kits will be provided at connections to structures and other pipelines and other pipe materials where applicable. Cathodic Protection shall be according to SWCC specifications E16.

3.2.13 Line Valves Line Valves will be provided to limit the length of pipeline that must be isolated and also to limit spillage of water in the event of an emergency such as a pipeline rupture. Isolation valves are recommended at the pump station and at interval spacing of 30-60 Km, optimum locations for the valves based on the route profile will be incorporated at other sites (crossings, siphons, etc) as necessary. Ball valves or other slow closing valves are suitable for use as isolation valves. All Line valves on the main and branch lines valves will be in accessible Shaft and be provided with necessary accessories (Piping instrument, Telephone, batteries, electrical .. etc.) Valves shall comply with SWCC specifications (M06 Valves for Water Projects)

3.2.14 Automatic Vent and Drain Stations Automatic vent valves will be installed at all defined high points which will be identified during detailed design by the contractor. These valves have a large orifice which will vent air from the pipeline during pipeline filling and admit air during draining operations to avoid negative internal pressures which could damage the pipeline. Air-vacuum and air-release valves will be equipped with isolation valves and will be installed in shafts. Screened standpipe(s) located above the ground also will be provided to allow for venting. Standpipe material will address site specific conditions. For example, if the standpipe is located in pasture land, it will be fenced or constructed of steel.

For vacuum relief during pipe draining, the valve will be sized on the full pipeline design flow and a 0.35 bar allowable differential pressure. For air venting during pipeline filling, a flow corresponding to a filling rate of 0.3m/second and an allowable maximum differential pressure of 0.14 bar will be used. Smaller air release valves will be provided at high points and at sudden changes in slopes to release air accumulated during normal system operation. The sizing of small diameter air release valves will be based on 2.0 percent of the design flow and the system pressure. Drain piping will be provided to facilitate drainage of pipeline segments for maintenance and repair. Drain will generally be installed at low points in the pipeline profile. Drain size will allow a reasonable time-to- drain for tributary pipe segments; typical diameters for drain piping and valves will be approximately 20 percent of carrier pipe diameter. Where reasonable, Drain will be drained to an energy dissipater (riprap or soil cement) which will be provided where pipeline drainage may cause erosion. However, in most cases, will be below grade and it will be necessary to provide a standpipe so that a pump can be inserted to drain the pipeline. Water will be directed from the drain to appropriate drainage facilities. For most applications, plug, ball valves are proposed as drain valves depending on drain application. Number of drain stations shall be minimized. In general automatic vent and drain valves shall comply with SWCC specification M06 Valves for water projects.

3.2.15 Shafts Shafts will be used to house various project amenities discussed above. All meters, flow-control systems, mainline valves, major air-vacuum, air-release valves, turnouts; pressure Control valves will be installed in Shafts. Drain will also be installed in Shaft-type Shafts on the upstream side of mainline valves. To the extent practical, the various system components will be installed in common shafts. Shafts containing Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system components, which would include all automated mainline valve Shafts and all flow control stations, would be equipped with appurtenances including:

Hatch and ladder for access; Electrical power, lights, ventilation, sump pump (or drains), and unit space heaters; Communications, intrusion and entry alarms; Drain ways in floors; and A battery-powered emergency power supply for the SCADA and local control (DC system) system for use in the event of power line failure. (Power failure precautions shall be for 24 hour emergency operation).

Pre-cast and cast-in-place concrete Shafts, pipeline encasements, cut off walls and other structural concrete shall be 300Kg/cm2compressive strength. Buried Shafts shall be designed for an AASHTO HS-20 live load where applicable. Lateral pressures and bearing capacity shall be in accordance with the geotechnical report. In the very unlikely instance where Shafts would have to be placed in roadways, the top of Shafts shall be flush with the finished surface with highway rated openings. Outside roadways, Shafts shall extend at least one foot above grade or what is required to avoid surface flooding. Man way covers shall be of cast iron, at least 60 cm in diameter. Man way covers will be solid, no openings, and shall be sealed to prevent water from gaining access. Access to Shaft with large equipment and appurtenances will be provided by hatchways confined space safety requirements need to be considered. In general Shafts shall comply with SWCC Civil specification.

3.2.16 Roadway Crossing The Project pipeline may cross several major roadways. Pipeline installation within paved highway right-of-ways will require a cased crossing using boring, jacking, or appropriate tunneling methods. For other non-paved and low traffic roads, open cut crossings are expected to be generally allowed. In some cases, installation of a cased pipe in the open cut to avoid future roadway excavations for repair of the pipeline could be considered. As a rule, the minimum burial for either the pipeline or the casing would be subject to the approval of the Engineer and the owner of the roadway and to avoid pipeline damage from future utility excavations. Future utility installation plans, where known, will need to be

accommodated. The Roadway crossing shall be in accordance with SWCC specifications L01 Pipeline construction.

3.2.17 Utility Crossings At roadway crossings, utilities which generally run parallel with the road may be encountered. These would typically be above the profile of the Project transmission pipeline, given the greater depth of the pipeline at roadway crossings. One exception may be any local existing sewer lines, which may have been installed deeper. Clearances between sewer lines and the water pipeline would be maintained at not less than 3 meters horizontal separation (where the lines are parallel) and 0.5m vertical separation at crossings. Wherever possible the water line shall be installed above the sewer pipeline. Where adequate separation is not possible, steel pipes would have welded joints and non-steel pipes would be encased in concrete to prevent contamination of the finished water due to exhilaration of the sewer line. Separation from other utilities shall be sufficient to protect the existing utility. For larger utilities, encroachment would be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. In some instances, it may be desirable to encroach and protect the pipeline from excavations for the interfering utility by installing a concrete cradle between the two utilities. We do not expect that the Project pipelines and existing sewer line interferences will be a significant problem, but it would need to be considered in selecting pipeline alignment through populated areas. The Utility crossing shall be in accordance with SWCC specifications L01 Pipeline construction.

3.2.18 Wadi Crossings Wadi crossings and Wadi sections shall be carried out in strict compliance with the standard drawings and design specification. However the minimum cover over the top of the pipe shall be two meters plus the estimated scouring depth. The pipes for wadi crossings and Wadi sections, when not otherwise specified in the individual design drawings, or not required by the Engineer during final design stage shall have the same class as the line.

3.2.22 Hydraulic Design Depending on the alternative selected, the total length of transmission pipeline equals 352.1 Km. Hydraulic design must not only account for the hydraulic construction issues involved in construction and operation, but for the economics of construction and operation as well. The design must optimize the total life-cycle cost for the system which is a function of the energy, operation and maintenance, and capital construction costs for the various pipe diameters throughout the system. Initial pipe sizes will be chosen to keep the velocities in the major trunk lines not to exceed 2.5 m/s. The initially design flow shall be based on average flows developed by delivering the required volume of water over a 24-hour period. The pipe diameter which meets the hydraulic constraints and also yields the lowest life-cycle costs will be chosen for service. For planning and conceptual design purposes, the minimum delivery pressure (turnout, reservoir, tank or other customer discharge) will be 20 m. The minimum hydraulic grade will be +6 meters at steady state conditions and not less than +3 meters during transient conditions at invert level of pipe. The contractor shall perform a surge analysis to determine the appurtenances required to contain transient pressures within the desired range. The desired range runs from a minimum of atmospheric pressure up to a maximum of 1.1 times the Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure (MAOP). The roughness coefficient in Darcy-Weisbachs Equation (required for both the simulation modeling and the life-cycle cost optimization) equals 0.1 mm in steady state condition and equals 0.005 mm in transient condition The pipeline lives span (nominal) equals 50 years.

5.5.4 Line Shut Down Program The line shut down program shall stop pumps and close valves (station off-line sequence). The sequence and the timepoint of pump stop, valve closure and setpoint change is to be hydraulically optimized during the final design. 5.6 Safety Programs 5.6.1 General The Safety Programs guarantee the safe operation of the system in case of upset conditions such as the power failure at the pumping stations, uncontrolled closure of valves and failure of the telecontrol system. The system is a closed system requiring continuous monitoring and automatic control of its important components and stations. Upset conditions in the system have to be recognized and counter measures have to be initiated within suitable time periods, in order to meet the requirement for operational safety and operation at the highest possible and reduced throughput rate. Safety monitoring and control is in general to be performed from the Control Centre (CC), where all information on the system, as transmitted by the telecontrol system is available. In the event of telecontrol failure, it is still possible to continue operation of the system by bringing the stations (still having TC connection) to a safe waiting position, while the stations which have lost TC to/from CC takes the actions required by their own logic. Safety monitoring and control makes use of the following hardware installations: CPUs and servers in CC Station logic controllers (PLCs) TC System The software required for safety monitoring and control must be subdivided into the packages as described below. 5.6.2 Safety Program at CC The safety program is installed in the CC logics, which continuously monitors the System and in case of defined upset conditions initiates the Station Safety Sequence and supervises its execution. The safety program also initiates the Line Shut Down Program. 5.6.3 Leak Detection Program at CC

During steady state pipeline operation the mass balance in the pipeline system shall be calculated by special leak detection software (LDS). No automatic pipeline or station shut down shall be initiated by the LDS, but an alarm shall be given only. In addition the calculated location of the leak shall be shown to the operator. 5.7 Station Safety Sequences (SSS) In the event of telecontrol failure or upset conditions in a station, all stations are automatically brought to a hydraulically safe operating condition. The station safety sequence prevents the development of vapor pressures and overpressures in the system. Two levels of the Station Safety Sequence, namely SSS1 and SSS2, shall be executed in the pumping station , reservoir stations and terminal station dependent on the control mode and the seriousness of the upset conditions. SSS1: In case of ESD or SD of only one unit in the pumping station (Scheduled or unscheduled stop). SSS2: In case of the following: ii.ESD or SD of more than one unit in the pumping station with in 20 sec seconds (time adjustable and to be optimize). iii.Loss of telecontrol connection from CC for more than 10 sec. iv.Change from Station control mode (Station Central ) to any other station control modes. The station sequences are to be programmed into the station PLC and always executed by STATCON. The whole pipeline system is monitored by SYSCON, the stations are monitored by STATCON. In case the telecontrol system is in proper function SYSCON decides which SSS is selected. Either SSS1or SSS2 is initiated by SYSCON (from CC). SSS2 is initiated by STATCON in case of Telecontrol failure. The setpoints and parameters inside the safety sequences shall adjustable from CC. The SSS command effects switching from the slow to the fast ramp function in the station control. The Station Safety Sequences as a whole and the setpoints and ramps below are to be optimized during the detail design stage by the contractor.

5.8 System and Station Control Regulation Loops 5.8.1 General The principal system and station control and regulation loops are shown in the System Flow Diagram and in the individual Station P&I Diagrams. In the following a brief description of the required loops is contained. In addition the actions from the automatic programs must be considered. Setpoints are set either by the Operator or the Software from CC or by the Station Safety Sequences at the Stations. To avoid control conflicts (PSRH flow controlled and Terminal flow controlled) the flow rate setpoints of the Terminal or Reservoir Stations must be set in such a way that the PCL becomes active. But the design flow rates of the different Terminal Station or Reservoirs shall not be exceeded. 5.8.2 Pumping Station PSRH Station Control Valve acting on: Condition: Flow control by the PSRH.FC set point Override 1: Discharge pressure controlled by the PSRH.PCH set point Override 2: High Flow Protection controlled by the PSRH.PHFP set point Override 3: Tank Level Low controlled by the PSRH.LCL set point Station Recirculation Control Valves ( Booster pumps and main pumps separate loop) acting on: Condition: Flow control by PSRH.BO.PLFP and PSRH.MAIN.PLFP set point 5.8.3 Reservoir Stations Station Control Valve acting on: Condition: Flow control by the xx.FC set point Override 1: Inlet Pressure controlled by the xx.PCL set point Override 2: Tank Level High controlled by xx.LCH setpoint 5.9 Station Programs and Sequences 5.9.1 General The following automatic programs and sequences must be provided at the individual stations. 5.9.2 Pump Start-up Sequence The start-up procedure for the different pump units consists of two steps:

The first step, the pre-start, activates the auxiliary equipment of the pumps and opens the suction valve. The pump discharge valve is to be put to a closed, open or predetermined intermediate open position (e.g. 20 % of opening), according to the motor/ pump manufacturers instructions or the hydraulic requirements. The second step, pump start, starts the pump and initiates the pump discharge valve to open completely. The pump is to be recognized as a running unit by the station control when the pump motor is running and the discharge valve has opened up to 20 %. Each of the two steps for pump unit start-up can be initiated either by the operator or by a computer program from CC, or locally from the station. The most appropriate mechanical and electrical equipment shall be provided to make pump startup as simple as possible for the operator and the software. 5.9.3 Pump Unit Stop and SD Sequence The pump stop sequence stops the pump, closes the pump discharge valve and deactivates the auxiliary equipment according to pump manufacture instruction. 5.9.4 Pump Unit ESD Sequences The pump is shut down in this sequence, the auxiliary systems are deactivated, the pump valves (suction and discharge) are to be closed. The pump unit ESD command can be initialized locally from the units only, but not from CC. Each pump unit has one local ESD button close to the pump / motor unit motor circuit breaker in the pump hall. The ESD circuits shall be hardwired and will trip the motor circuit breaker. The valves and auxiliary equipment will be closed by the normal software function. 5.9.5 Station Pressure Switch Sequence Generally, the pumping stations are to be equipped with a high pressure switch (PSH) on the station discharge side (PSRH) and a low pressure switch on the station inlet side (PSRH). If this switch is touched, one running pump is shut down immediately. Only if the signal has not disappeared after an adjustable time (range 0.0 to 20.0 sec.), indicating that the pressure is still too high, the next pump is shut down, and the time delay is to be reset prior to a shut-down for the next pump. By proceeding this way, any unnecessary shut-down of pump units is avoided. The time delay must be adjustable.

5.9.6 Station SD and ESD Sequences In the pumping stations two sequences are to be prepared: The SD sequence stops the running pumps adopting a cascade mode with a time interval of 0.0 to 30 sec. (adjustable). The station ESD sequence stops the pumps in cascade with adjustable time delay. The individual unit ESD stops the particular unit immediately. The SD sequence can be started locally or via telecontrol system from CC by operator or computer program. The ESD sequence can be initiated locally from the pumping station only. The separate station ESD button (in the control room and on escape ways) will initiate the individual unit ESDs (hard wired), additional valve closure will be executed with the normal software. 5.9.7 Station On-line / Off-line Sequence This sequence shall prevent the closing of the last open way within the Stations at the running pipeline. Pump start shall be possible only with Station On-line, the Station Off-line will initiate the station shut down sequence. 5.9.8 Flow Path Monitoring Before start of operation the flow path within each station must be monitored and verified, depending on the selected way of operation. In case the last open way in one active station starts closing the shut down sequence will be initiated. 5.9.9 Station Flow Computer In the pumping stations pertinent electronic equipment is to be provided to compute the flow setpoints for the station control closed loops. The following values are to be considered: Low flow rate limit for each running pump High flow rate of each running pump Maximum low flow limit for all running pumps, considering the number of running pumps in the pumping station. Minimum high flow limit of all running pumps, considering the number of running pumps in the pumping station.

The calculated value controls the Pump Low Flow (PLFP) and Pump High Flow Protection (PHFP) of the pumps. The pump is set to running status, when it has hydraulically started operation. The pump is set to the not running status, when the pump is hydraulically stopped. PS.PLFP Setpoint = QMIN * n [m3/h] PS.PHFP Setpoint = QMAX * n [m3/h] QMIN (=MDF/2*0.7) and QMAX (=MDF/2*1.2) represents the minimum and maximum continuous flow rate for a single pump, to be defined during final design. n represents the number of running pumps. n is to be considered in pumping stations with parallel pumps. Alarms in the Station Flow Computer signal if the present flow conditions are beyond the allowable range (tolerance or + 5 % of defined setpoints). An automatic start-up of the pumps is not foreseen. Any pump start is subject to the Operators responsibility. The present pipeline flow rate is measured by the station flowmeters at the pump stations. 5.9.10 Pump Low Flow Protection (PLFP) A low flow condition occurs if too many pumps are running for the actual pumping station flow rate. The pumps operate on the left hand side of the allowable operating range of the pump characteristics. The low flow condition disappears if pumps are shut down or the flow rate is increased. The pump station recirculation control valve shall be opened automatically on the PLFP signal and closed if the signal disappears. The Pump Low Flow Protection triggers an alarm and if this alarm does not disappear automatically within 180 sec (adj.SYSAD), the first running pump is shut down, using the PUMPSTOP sequence. If the alarm persists, the next pump is shut down after a time lapse of 180 sec (adj.SYSAD), etc. until all pumps are shut down. The Pump Low Flow Protection is suppressed during and after pump start for 60 sec (adj.SYSAD). 5.9.11 Pump High Flow Protection (PHFP) A high flow condition for the pumps occurs if the number of running pumps is insufficient for the actual pumping station flow rate. The pumps operate on the right hand side of the allowable operating range of the pump characteristics. Cavitation in the pumps may occur and the motors could be shut down by over-current. The high flow condition disappears if additional pumps are started or if the flow rate is reduced.

The PHFP Setpoint is an override setpoint for the Outlet Control Valve Loop. The flow rate in the PS is reduced to the allowable limit by closing the outlet control valve at the Pumping Station. The Pump High Flow Protection is suppressed during and after pump start for 60 sec (adj.SYSAD). Note: Due to the installation of fixed speed pumps, the pump high flow protection is a very important protection equipment for the pumps. During start and stop of pumps, and after tripping of single pumps high flow may occur. 5.10 Operation with and without Telecontrol System For operation with the maximum design flow rate the telecontrol system is necessary. The telecontrol system provides surge protection system measures (initiation of Station Safety Sequences). Operation without telecontrol system shall be possible at maximum flow rates. Details must be verified and calculated by the Contractor during final design. 5.11 Surge Protection Devices The major hydraulic load cases are the power failure at the Pumping Stations and the unscheduled closure of control valves at the Terminal Station. Surge protection equipment is the pressure relief valves at Hafar Albatin Terminal . The Station Safety Sequences in the individual stations are also important for surge protection. An unscheduled closure of the line valves has to be prohibited (valves have to be set locked open). 5.12 Basic Data for Hydraulic Calculations and System Design Reference is made to the Hydraulic Study Report, QP50-J-001. Both steady and unsteady flow conditions were calculated using a computer software suitable for a realistic simulation of the pipeline system. The transient analyses were simulated by using KY pipe program SURGE 2000, v 2.107 and Bentely Hammer V8. The following information only includes data which are of importance for the hydraulic behavior and the safety of the system. The data are envisaged to be used as the basis for computations and examinations by the Contractor, if necessary.

5.12.1 Stations, Elevations and Water levels Reference is made to chapter 3.10.All pressure data are relative pressure data (= barg, without atmospheric pressure) and are to be seen in connection with the stations and elevations which are used in the entire hydraulic analysis. The station location given under chapter 3.9 corresponds with the horizontal lengths in the hydraulic profile. 5.12.2 Design flow rate The following design flow rates have been considered in the Hydraulic Calculations: City / village PSRH Nuairiyah Ibn Hethlain Qaryat AlOliyah Sairah Sadawi AlQaysumah Hafar Al Batin The above figures include an operating factor of 95 %. 5.12.3 Liquid Properties The following water properties were used in the hydraulic calculations: Temperature Water density : 20.00 [C] : 998.2 [kg/m] [cSt] Design flow rate Including operation Factor (m3/d) 110,000 10,000 300 2,800 1,170 280 6,450 89,000

5.12.5 Allowable Pressures acc. To ASME Classes The allowable pressures are defined in chapter 15.2.1 Sizing of Station Piping. 5.12.6 Allowable Pressures for Operation and Transient Conditions The allowable pressures of the different pipe materials, diameters and wall thicknesses are summarized in chapter 6 Pipe Static. The maximum allowable operating pressure (= MAOP) and the over pressure are also defined there. 5.12.7 Pipe Diameters The hydraulic calculations are to be performed with the actual inner pipe diameter. For steel pipes the inner pipe diameter is equal to the outer diameter minus 2* wall thickness (nominal), minus 2* thickness of CM lining. Tolerances in steel wall thickness and CM lining are not to be considered. 5.12.8 Pipe Roughness The actual roughness of the CM lining depends on the fabrication process and can only be defined by measurements during performance tests. For hydraulic design purposes the absolute roughness was assumed as follows: - Maximum pipe roughness: ks = 0.1 [mm] - Minimum pipe roughness: ks = 0.005 [mm] Head loss calculations have been performed using the hydraulic friction loss formulas valid for straight pipes. The maximum pipe roughness is used for the steady state analysis and the layout of equipment (e.g. pumps). The minimum pipe roughness is used for surge analyses and the dimensioning of the surge protection equipment. 5.12.9 Station Equipment Any equipment not generally mentioned for any particular location, station, or pipeline section, is generally to be considered for all necessary locations.

5.13 Hydraulic Calculations to be performed by the Contractor 5.13.1 Steady Flow Conditions In the Hydraulic Profiles the gradients for the maximum design capacities (MDF) are shown for with cement mortar lining with ks = 0.100 mm(according to Prandtl-Colebrook Formulae) In addition to the flow rates shown in the Hydraulic Profiles, other steady flow conditions are possible. It is the duty of the Contractor to perform a detailed hydraulic study to determine which pump configurations and flow rates will be the most economical with respect to the power consumption. The most economical operation flow rates are to be defined by means of optimization. After pipeline start-up the true pipe roughness is to be found by means of tests and relevant computations. The system set points are to be checked and adjusted, if necessary. The maximum possible flow rate without telecontrol system is to be defined and supported by the hydraulic calculations. Flow rates, set points and Station Safety Sequences are to be optimized. 5.13.2 Transient Flow Conditions Using the Bently HammerV8 computer program for the calculation of transient flow conditions, a reasonable number of cases were checked on the basis of a mathematical model. The simulation program was made according to Pandtl Colebrook formulae and with pipe surface roughness = 0.005 mm. The computations performed on the basis of the assumed data show that a safe operation will be possible (see Hydraulic Report). The 10% overpressure line will not be exceeded, nor will vapor pressure occur, if some restrictions and precautions in the systems (e.g. pressure relief etc.) are taken into account. Because some of the data used for the computations were only assumed (pump characteristics, valve characteristics, etc.), it will be necessary to study the transient flow conditions in detail after the equipment to be installed has been selected. These final computations are part of the Contractors scope of work during final design. The minimum closing time of all valves and control valves in the system shall be selected and optimized within the hydraulic calculations. The optimization has to regard overpressure and minimum pressure conditions as well the greatest operating efficiency. Detailed mathematical models are to serve as the basis for the Contractors computations; the behavior of the different components of equipment is to be simulated in a realistic way.

Load cases are to be studied in detail for scheduled and unscheduled shut down/ start-up of pumps and other critical load cases, starting with various steady flow conditions. Various flow rates with different pump arrangements are to be studied. System set points (pressure switches, etc.) and sequences in stations shall be defined on the basis of these detailed calculations. The hydraulic design necessary for the System requires programming by highly qualified experts, since the higher the quality of design, the less problems will arise during start-up and operation. This work shall therefore be done under the responsibility of an independent expert (to be nominated by the Contractor) with at least 10 (ten) years of practice and experience in projects of equivalent nature and proportion. The choice of this specialist shall be subject to approval of the engineer and client (SWCC).

The design pressure of the pipeline shall be based on the maximum allowable operating pressures. These pressures are indicated in the hydraulic profile Drawing QP50-D-1000. The maximum steady state pressure occurs very close to the pump station. Along the pipeline, the operating pressures become less than the maximum pressure near the pump station. In some cases where the pipeline elevation decreases away from the pump station the operating pressures at the lowest part of the pipeline increases. Economical design of the pipeline should respect the variations in operating and maximum pressures and the appropriate pipe thickness must be selected. Table 6.2 shows the standard pipe thickness for nominal pipe diameters of and 1100 mm (44``) (API 5L) for different material grades and the associated maximum allowable operating pressure. The table was used to specify the material grade and pipe thickness for different parts of the pipeline. The shaded bold cells show the used steel grade and thickness in the project as indicated in the hydraulic profile and Table 6.1 above.

6.3.3 Buckling The empty pipes are subjected either to external loads like the weight of the backfill material and traffic loads and internal vapour pressure. The calculations for this type of loading shall be done according to AWWA M11, 4th Edition, for normal pipe installation. Acc. to clause Buckling of this code the following loading conditions are to be applied: Internal vacuum pressure Live load (= traffic load) These calculations shall be done during the detailed design phase by the Contractor.

Simultaneous application of internal vacuum pressure and live load need not normally be considered. The calculation of safety against buckling is independent of the yield strength of the material. Only the modulus of elasticity comes into application. As a result of this the calculations are valid for all steel grades. qa = 1 . (32.Rw.B`.E`. El )1/2 FS D Where: qa FS Rw hw h B H allowable buckling pressure (psi) design factor = 2.0 water buoyancy factor = 1-0.33 (hw/h), 0 <hw <h height of water surface above top of pipe (in.) height of ground surface above top of pipe (in) empirical coefficient of elastic support (dimensionless) = 1/(1 + 4e(-0.065H)) height of fill above pipe (ft)

For determination of external loads in normal pipe installations, the following equation shall be used:

.hw + Rw . Wc + Pv qa
D Where: hw w Pv Wc height of water above conduit (in.) specific weight of water (0.0361 lb/cu in.) internal vacuum pressure (psi) vertical soil load on pipe per unit length (lb/in.)

If only live loads are considered, the buckling requirement is satisfied by:

6.3.4 Deformation The pipe deformations due to external loadings like weight of the backfill material and traffic loads such as: HS-20 truck at free pipeline routes and SWL 600 in the right of way of existing or known future roads and highways with at least 95% Proctor density backfill compaction shall be calculated acc. to AWWA M11, 4th Edition. The calculation of the deformations of the pipes is independent of the yield strength of the material. Only the modulus of elasticity comes into application. As a result of this, the calculations are valid for all steel grades. These calculations shall be done during the detailed design phase by the Contractor. The interaction between the deformed pipe and the surrounding soil is considered by using the modulus E of the backfill. For cement mortar lined pipes with an external elastic coating this deformation is limited to 3% of pipe diameter (see clause Deflection Determination in AWWA M11, 4th Edition). = Dr . ( K.W. r3 ) .

CHAPTER (7) PIPELINE


7.1 Pipeline Route Description The pipeline route is shown in the General Route Map (QP10-U-1000) , QP10-U-1001 to 1020 and also in details in the survey drawings from ( ZP00-D-001 ) to ( ZP00-D-552 ). The route description contained in the following sub chapters is based on the routing performed by the Engineer. This description shall be considered as preliminary and shall not relief the Contractor to perform the detailed route selection and verification during his final design activities. 7.1.1 Route Description: The selected route will utilize the new service road to be constructed for the new pipeline from RasAlzaur to Riyadh, the first part of this route will be intersected with Highway to Nairiia at 6 Km west of Abu Hedria. The proposed pipeline will be constructed from Ras Al Zaur to AlNuairiyah alongside the new pipeline from Ras Alzaur to Riyadh , then it will follow the highway from Abu Hidria to AlNuairiyah. 7.1.2 Section 1 This section starts from Ras Al Zaur up to The intersection with the highway to Abu Hedria at coordinate (N 3030991 E297341) , in this section the new pipeline will be constructed alongside the new pipeline to Riyadh . Length of this section is : 28.6 Km. The route is clear from any properties and obstacles. The route will pass near to some ARAMCO properties, but it will be far from it with more than 100 meter. 7.1.3 Section 2 - This section starts from The intersection with the highway to Abu Hedria at coordinate (N 3030991 E297341) up to The intersection with the highway to Nairiia at coordinate (N 3021305.00 E294320.00). - Total length of this section is 10.2 Km. - The route in this section will also be alongside the new pipeline to Riyadh

- The proposed route will pass near to ARAMCO property, the right of way of the pipeline in this point will be 65 m . 7.1.4 Section 3 - This section starts from The intersection with the highway to AlNuairiyah at coordinate (N 3021305.00 E294320.00). - Total length of this section is 313.3 Km. - The route will be alongside the highway from Abu Hedria to Hafar AlBatin. 7.2 Right of Way In principle, the ROW should be in SWCC's possession or should be procured by the Employer and put at the Contractor's disposal. Whenever the pipeline is laid within the ROW of MOT or the Municipality, then the ROW boundaries of MOT and/or municipality should also be the limit of the ROW provided by SWCC. However, experience has shown that at some occasions it will be necessary to negotiate and buy land servitudes for sections of the permanent ROW during construction. Such producers are especially necessary when crossing private land. The contractor is to make available his own survey team for this purpose at his own expense. This survey team will have the following duties: - Surveying of certain pieces of land for right of way negotiations. - Preparation of all subsequently necessary drawings and calculations. - Preparation of inventory report for SWCC. - Preparation of a video recording of the complete ROW before and after the construction works for documentation. The Right of way negotiations with the land owners will be done by SWCC. It is the Tenderers obligation during the tendering stage to acquaint himself with the site and visit all the organizations involved in the planning of the area (Ministry of Trasport, Ministry of Agricluture, Municipalities, SEC, STC, ARAMCO, SRO and any other authorities) to account for any changes required along the route during the implementation of the works (road crossings, railway crossing, foreign line crossings , etc..)

from where it was taken at a location downstream of the take-off point. So the primary circuit is an open circuit. The secondary circuit shall be operated by means of 1+1 circulation pumps to feed the cooling circuits of pump motors. The secondary circuit is a closed circuit. b) Design Requirements The cooling water system capacity shall be designed in such a way that under the worst conditions 110% of the heat load produced by the pump motors in the ultimate stage of the pump units can be dissipated. The heat load shall be determined on basis of all installed pump units in a group, i.e. running units and stand-by units included. The temperature difference between the heat exchanger entering and the heat exchanger leaving water temperature shall be approximately 5 K. c) Cooling Water Quality The water used for the primary circuit is the pumped product water. The water quality requirements for the secondary circuit shall be carefully determined taking into consideration the quality of the untreated water available, the materials of the installed and the connected equipment and the fact that it is a closed circuit. Adequate stationary treatment is to be provided including appropriate agents against fouling and corrosion which allows for continuous dosing into the make-up water flow. 15.5.2 Description of the Cooling Equipment a) Plate Heat Exchanger Water/Water Due to the high requirements on the quality of potable water feeding the primary circuit, in any heat exchanger the occurrence of water contamination needs to be avoided. This shall be accomplished by the use of stainless steel, double-wall plate heat exchangers. This type differs from conventional plate heat exchangers in a way that instead of a single plate between the two media, pairs consisting of two identical plates are stacked on top of each other and welded around the portholes. The design shall be such that in the event of leakage, one of the two media will always appear externally. Should a failure occur, whether it is related to the plates, gaskets or welds, the released fluid must be led to the outside and thus become visible. Leakage shall be detected by means of leakage switch. The plate heat exchanger shall be designed and manufactured in accordance to ASME standards. A filter with automatic flushing system has to be installed in the primary circuit, to protect the heat exchanger against pollution.

i) Electrical power cables shall have fire protection paint at entry and exit points of cable ducts and cable cellars within buildings, at the recommended distance along the length in cable trays. Approved paint material shall be used in accordance with SWCC standard specification. 16.13 Power Supply for Remote Stations For remote stations along the transmission pipeline route, e.g. Line Valve Stations or CPS T/R Stations the use of permanent SEC network supply is the preferred solution. However, depending on location of such stations it may not be possible to provide reasonable connections to the local power supply network. As a general rule it shall be noted that if within a distance of approx. 5 km no local MV/LV network is available, the use of alternative power supply sources is admissible. In such case the use of Solar panel units will be the alternative. One of the most important requirement for such remote stations is to optimize the installed equipment, to have as less as possible power demand. Normally the power demand for the Line Valve Stations is very low, because only instrumentation, control and communication equipment must be supplied. For the CPS T/R Stations the load demand is higher, but due to the high quality of pipe coating and with proper selection of the T/R station spacing, also the load demand can be kept less. In any case the installation of suitable storage batteries is required to provide uninterrupted power supply for such stations in case the prime feeder is out of operation As part of the contract the most reasonable solution shall be investigated and proposed. The finally selected power supply configuration is subject to approval. For technical requirements of solar panel units reference is made to the Specification E10 Solar Panel Units, Doc. No. QC10-H-090. For the installation of the batteries, as well as the control and distribution cabinets the equipment shall be installed within ventilated underground shafts. For technical requirements of the passive cooling shelters reference is made to the Specification E17 Line Valve Station Containers, Doc. No. QC10-H-097. In case the Stations will receive permanent electrical power, the switchboard and control cabinets shall be also installed within the above mentioned shelters, or in the below ground shafts.

S05 Central Control Hardware and Standard Software , Doc. No. QC10-H-125 S06 SCADA and Plant Software , Doc. No. QC10-H-126 The main objective of the control and monitoring system is to achieve safe and reliable transport of water, with the support of state-of-the-art control and monitoring facilities. The control system shall be designed in such a way that the responsibility for safety will be as much as possible transferred from the operating personnel to the mechanical and/or electronic equipment. Furthermore the operation must be clearly structured, simple and economic to reduce the number of highly qualified personnel, required to operate the System, to a minimum. The Station Control System for a Line Valve Station shall be combined (interconnected) with the Station Control System of the nearest Reservoir Station, Water Tower Station, Filling Station, etc. 17.2 Overall Functions 17.2.1 General The dominating overall function of the instrumentation and control equipment is to guarantee a continuous water flow throughout the Pipeline System. This means that the technological process for operating the pipeline has to be considered as one entire unit over the complete distance, from the supply tank/reservoirs up to the end point tanks/reservoirs, including pumping station, line valve stations and intermediate reservoir stations. Therefore the objective of the pipeline control centre is not only reduced to monitoring and control of the several stations, it also has to handle the following overall function: Start up / shut down of the pipeline as a sequence of start up / shut down / flow increase / flow decrease sequence of the several stations and units. Monitoring and control of the pipeline flow rate depending on the levels of the tanks and reservoirs. Leak detection and leak location. Operation optimization. Station Safety System (SSS) functions. Emergency shut down (ESD) functions. Cathodic protection system monitoring Electrical power supply and power consumption monitoring The main control functions, regulation loops and sequences for the pipelines and the stations are described in the chapter 5 Hydraulics and Operation of this general specification.All other control functions, regulation loops and sequences for the main process or any auxiliary system and/or package unit, which are not described in detail, but necessary to fulfill the

For detalies reference is made to chapter 5 Hydraulics and Operation of this general specification and the requirements define in the hydraulic calculations, which must be performed as part of the contract. 17.2.2 Emergency Shut Down (ESD) Functions An ESD can only be initialized by emergency push buttons, which are installed close to the pumps, at the operator working place of the SCS and at defined escape way location within pump houses. All these ESD push buttons shall be connected hardwired to the MV motor circuit breakers of the booster and main pumps. In case an ESD push button of a single pump is activated the respective pump has to stop without any time delay. All other necessary steps and sequences shall be handled by the Station/Unit Control and if necessary also by the operator at WPCC. In case the ESD push button for the station is activated for the pump station, all pumps have to stop in a defined cascade with an adjustable time. The station subsystems shall be shut down by the Station Control. With a shut down of one of the stations along the pipeline a pipeline shut down sequence shall be initialized by the Main control system at WPCC. For the implementation of the ESD functions a separate ESD panel shall be provided at each station with interface to the Station/Unit Control System. 17.3 System Topology The overall system comprises the following main components: a) WPCC - Water Pipeline Control Centre b) SCS - Station Control Systems for Pumping Station c) RTU Remote Terminal Unit for Reservoir Stations and Valve Chambers.

CHAPTER (19) 19.1 General

CATHODIC PROTECTION

In addition to the good passive corrosion protection and coating of all buried metallic pipes and structures, the pipeline and the station piping shall have an active corrosion protection by means of cathodic protection for technical requirements reference is made to E16 cathodic protection. Special care is required to avoid any negative influence from CP installations to other existing pipes or foreign installations and vice versa. Also the possible high voltage interference from overhead lines, power cables or other HV installations in the vicinity of the pipe and structures must be considered and limited. The pipeline cathodic protection system (CPS) shall be separated from the Pumping Station , reservoir stations and the terminal reservoir by means of isolation coupling. The Line Valve Stations are an integrated part of the pipeline CPS. There are two common systems for the CP, they are Sacrificial Anodes and Impressed Current. Sacrificial Anodes, is a metallic anode used in CP where it is intended to be dissolved to protect other metallic components. Also, a sacrificial anode can be defined as a metal that is more easily oxidized than the protected metal. Electrons are stripped from the anode and conducted to the protected metal, which becomes the cathode. Impressed current, for large structures galvanic anodes can not economically deliver enough current to complete protection. This system use Anodes, a DC power source, Rectifier. Anodes for IC system are tubular and solid rod shapes or continuous ribbons of various specialized materials. The number of CPS feeder stations along the pipelines shall be optimized under consideration of low ground resistance for the anode bends and availability of electrical power supply connections. The necessary site investigation and detailed survey is part of the contract. The CPS shall be equipped with a remote monitoring system via the CPS feeder stations (T/R stations) and selected potential measuring points with monitoring relays. The measurement and alarm signals shall be transferred to the SCADA system. In case the T/R stations will be installed outside areas of direct FOC interface (e.g. Pumping Station, Line Valve Stations, Reservoir stations etc.) the respective interface to the FOC communication system shall be provided as part of the contract. Design and installation of CPS shall be performed by well experienced and approved companies only. Detailed site survey and investigation of existing facilities is mandatory and part of the contract.

Pipeline CPS

19.2.1 Pipeline The individual pipes of the new pipeline are welded together, the pipes are equipped with factory applied 3-layer HDPE coating, the welding seam will be coated on site after welding. The pipes are internally lined with cement mortar (CM). Cathodic protection of the steel pipeline will be achieved by an impressed current cathodic protection system consisting of transformer/ rectifier (T/R) stations, anode ground beds, pipe to soil test points and pipe to foreign installations test points installed along the pipeline . The number of T/R stations, type and number of anodes and number of test points depends on the final route, the soil resistively survey, the number of crossings, foreign installations, availability of low voltage power, etc. 19.2.2 Line Valve Stations The Line Valve Stations will not have separate local CPS provisions because these stations are not directly buried but installed in underground shafts. The piping system of such stations will be connected with the earthing system in order to avoid dangerous touch voltage due to HV interference. These grounding connections shall be performed via special AC voltage limitation devices avoiding direct low-ohmic earthing connections of the pipes. Any additional grounding connections via AC voltage limitation devices along the pipeline route and within the LVS shafts must be defined by the HV interference calculation, which is part of the final design. Bonding cables across each line valve station shaft, to interconnect the upstream and downstream pipeline must be foreseen. 19.2.3 Crossings or parallel routing with other Pipelines For crossings and parallel routing with existing SWCC water pipelines or other foreign pipelines (e.g. oil, gas or water pipelines) the particular protection requirements and crossing conditions must be observed and considered. The co-ordination with the Owner's of the pipelines to be crossed or routed in parallel must be performed as part of the contract. The necessary bond boxes, cable connections, shunts, etc. must be supplied and installed.
