GENERAL

Each Package shall co-ordinate his work in every phase of his activity like design, engineering,
workshop testing, construction, erection, site testing and commissioning directly with all other
Package(s).
During the design period, the concerned Package shall contact directly other Package(s) in all
matters concerning required data for his detailed technical design to get the necessary information.
The other Package is obliged to provide timely all necessary information as may be required by the
concerned Package(s). Copy of the correspondence shall be submitted to the Employer/Engineer.
The concerned Package may arrange for technical meetings with other Package(s) for the same
reason. The timing and agenda shall be submitted to the Employer/Engineer in due time before the
meeting for information and decision whether or not to attend the meeting. In case of nonattendance a copy of the Minutes of Meetings shall also be distributed to the Employer/Engineer.

SCOPE

This specification part D1 'Interfaces' describes the interfaces of the Package D - Desalination of
the Jebel Ali L Station, Phase II with the power package of Phase II, L Station Phase I and
External.
(Remark: Although Phase I is 'External' to the Phase II scope, the classification still contains this
category for better understanding.)
The number of interfaces shall be minimised, i.e. wherever possible, there shall be common
interface points for a system and sub-distribution in a package shall be done be the Contractor
responsible for that package.
To determine which package contractor has the lead responsibility for an interface, the following
order of priority shall be used:
P>D
The contractor who has the lead responsibility for the interface will be responsible for the coordination and for the physical completion of the interface. This includes providing the necessary
material (such as bolts, gaskets, flanges, weld rods, cable shoes and clamps, etc.) except the
cable and carry out the necessary work (such as aligning pipes, welding, tightening bolts, attaching
the cable shoes, connecting to the junction box, etc.) except pulling the cable.

INTERFACE POINT IDENTIFICATION CODE

Each interface shall be clearly identified by a unique identification code. Since every interface point
appears in the interface list of both involved systems, the interface shall use the exact same
identification code in both systems.
The following numbering system for interface points has been used in the tables below:
Xx-n/Yy-n-z
with
X, Y

Package Letter
P = Power, D = Desalination, S = 400kV Substation Phase I, E = External
The package letter shall always be in the following order: P>D>S>L>E

CIVIL INTERFACES

4.4.1 General Guidelines

As the scope of works of the Jebel Ali Power and Desalination Station L Phase II has been
divided in to two (2) packages, the civil works required by each packages will be divided
accordingly.
For the buildings, structures, equipment foundations, piperack / busduct foundations, and pipe and
cable trenches required for mechanical/electrical plants and equipments, the interfaces for the civil

D1_Interfaces_II_WD

Part D1 Interfaces Working Document

Page: 9

works are defined by the interfaces of the mechanical/electrical plants and equipments for which
the civil works are required. Reference is made to the relevant Clauses of mechanical/electrical
interfaces above.
Further interfaces for civil works not related directly to any of those plants, equipments, pipe and
cable racks/trenches, works such as roads, drainage and sewage etc., which need to be defined
area-wise i.e. to be shared by Packages, will be defined below in the Clause 4.4.2
Works for all of the Station to be executed by a certain Package will be defined accordingly.
Otherwise works of general nature mentioned in the scope of works below are limited to the
concerned packages only.

4.4.2 List of Civil Interfaces

4.4.2.1 General
Interfaces between Package D and P are defined below by physical co-ordinates cover civil
works of general nature. Some other works of general nature such as Employer/Engineers Site
office, first aid station for the whole construction site are included in the scope of works for
Package P and thus not specifically stated in the interfaces. In case of different civil contractors
are employed at Site for each Package, the co-ordination between them shall be undertaken by
the responsible contractor of the area.
In case of disputes about the scope of works of other civil contractor in his area, area contractor is
responsible for the completeness and functionality of all civil works in his area.

4.4.2.2 Interfaces between Package D and Package P

For works and services as roads, drainage lines, cable trenches if utilised by both packages,
landscaping, levelling and other works of similar nature area west of the co-ordinates
approximately E 226 (limits of walkway) will be in the scope of supply of the civil works for Package
D

4.4.2.3 Interfaces to the existing Station Phase I

For the buildings, structures, equipment foundations, piperack / busduct foundations, and pipe and
cable trenches required for mechanical/electrical plants and equipment, the interfaces for the civil
works are defined by the interfaces of the mechanical/electrical plants and equipment for which the
civil works are required.
Further interfaces for civil works not related directly to any of those plants, equipment, pipe and
cable racks/trenches, works such as roads, drainage etc., which need to be defined area-wise,
following shall apply:

Storm Water Drainage lines along the roads are to be connected at manholes at the defined
limits for the roads

For general limits of the roads reference is made to General Plant Layout and to Part D2.9 of
the Sepcification
