Projects of Flowline Systems Pvt. Ltd.
During the course of executing the above pipeline projects Flowlines team has also undertaken fast track completion challenges and have met them successfully. These challenges include
Temporary (Stand bye) Raw Water Conveyance Pipeline for Ispat Industries Ltd. (10 Days) :- Fabrication and erection of 315 mm OD HDPE PN-4.0 PE-80 temporary water supply pipeline of 600 meter length across Amba creek for Ispat Indutries ltd. Dolvi, Pen, Maharashtra State, India. This project was completed in a span of just 10 days, including express casting of Concrete Anchor Blocks.
Permanent Raw Water Conveyance Pipeline for Ispat Industries Ltd. (45 Days):- Fabrication and erection of 900 mm OD HDPE PN-6.0 PE-80 substitute water supply pipeline of 550 meter length across Amba creek for Ispat Indutries ltd. Dolvi, Pen, Maharashtra State, India. This assignment was taken up to substitute originally planned Mild Steel pipeline as the Mild Steel pipeline which was being done by bottom pull method failed and ruptured during the course of erection and the client did not have time to redo the project with MS pipeline. From concept to completion this project was completed in a span of just 45 days, including express casting & rapid curing of Concrete Anchor Blocks.
9 Kilometer Long Marine Outfall Pipeline for Alok Industries Ltd., Vapi, (75 Days) :- Fabrication. Launching. Floating, aligning and sinking of probably the longest marine outfall in India consisting of 250 mm OD PN-6 PE-80 HDPE pipe of 9.1 Kms length laid on the bed of Kolak river near Daman. This pipeline was laid in a record time of three and half months in the year 2002 for Alok Industries Ltd., Wapi, Gujarat, India.
636 Meters X 5 Sea Water Intake Pipelines for Chennai Desalination Plant : (45 Days) :- Launching, floating, aligning and sinking of 5 lines each of 560 mm OD PN-10 PE-100 of 636 meter offshore length for alternate sea water intake system for Chennai Water Desalination Ltd, Chennai for Minjur desalination plant. Flowlines provided the basic concept for this alternate system as well as the design and methodology to bring sea water to the desalination plant which was starving for water for almost 1.5 years due to delay in laying the originally planned 1600 mm sea water intake pipeline. This Herculean task was executed during the known rough condition of Bay of Bengal in the month of September but still completed merely in 40 days.
636 Meters X 1 Sea Water Intake & 832 X 1 Reject Water Outfall Pipelines for Chennai Desalination Plant ( 45 Days ):- Following the csuccessful completion of the Alternate Sea Water Intake Pipelines, Flowlines was confidentally awarded another marathon challange of laying the originally planned 1600 mm Sea Water Intake & Reject Water Outfall Pipelines for the same Desalination Plant. Flowlines took up the job of re-floating, towing by 4 Knots from Ennore Port, alligning on site and sinking of 1600 mm OD SDR-28, PE-100 HDPE Intake Pipeline of 636 meter offshore length for Permenant sea water intake system for Chennai Water Desalination Ltd, Chennai for Minjur desalination plant, followed by 1600 mm OD SDR-28, PE-100 HDPE Reject Water Pipeline of 832 meter offshore length. Flowlines provided some basic changes in the methodology of erection to make this erection successful which was passing through all uncertainties for almost 1 & 1/2 years. This marathon activity was successfully executed within 45 days.
There was another Herculian activity of placing a 85 Ton of the Sea Water Intake Well for the Intake Pipeline, which took us almost further two months to succeed. This well was cast on a Barge and lifted/erected using a special craft fitted with a 26 Meter long Jib. The Intake & Outfall pipelines are now functional and undergoing performance trials assuring the Chennai Residents of 100 MLD of Pure & Healthy water.
