TSHAKHUMA DAM – 250NB PIPE LINE PROJECT – PO NUM: PO 0000116
This is a subtitle for your new post
1. Project Overview
This project entailed the fabrication, supply, and delivery of a 250NB SCH20 pipeline with a total length of 210 meters, connecting the Dam Pump Station to the new reservoir. The pipeline was designed and manufactured to ensure structural integrity, corrosion resistance, and long-term serviceability under site operating conditions.
2. Fabrication Details
All fabrication work was executed at the VIP Metals workshop under EN specifications, ensuring compliance
with relevant structural and material standards.
- Pipe size: 250NB SCH20
- Total length: 210 meters
- Material specification: Stainless/Carbon steel as per EN standards
- Welding standard: All welding procedures and qualifications were conducted in accordance with AWS D1.1 structural welding code.
- Inspection: Dimensional and visual inspections were performed at all stages of fabrication to ensure compliance with design and quality requirements.
3. Corrosion Protection
Corrosion protection was carried out by a third-party applicator in accordance with DWS9900 specifications.
The coating system was applied to achieve high durability and protection against environmental and water-
related corrosion.
- External coating: 350 microns H10 Brilliant Green paint
- Internal coating: 450 microns Poly-glass lining
- Quality assurance: Coating thickness and adhesion tests were conducted to verify conformity with DWS9900 standards.
4. Delivery and Handover
All fabricated pipeline sections were supplied and delivered to site as a complete turnkey supply. Items were
properly tagged, protected, and handled to prevent damage during transport and offloading.
5. Conclusion
The fabrication and supply of the 250NB SCH20 pipeline were successfully completed in accordance with EN
and AWS standards. Corrosion protection met all DWS9900 requirements, ensuring the system’s reliability and
longevity for operational use at the Dam Pump Station and Reservoir.
