1.0 INTRODUCTION
Safety in Construction Management deserves utmost attention especially in the hydrocarbon industry,
such as Exploration, Refineries, Pipelines and Marketing installations, Gas Processing units
etc.Construction is widely recognised as one of the accident prone activities. Most of the accidents are
caused by inadequate planning, failure during the construction process and/or because of design
deficiencies. Besides property loss, accidents also result in injuries and fatalities to the personnel; same
needs to be prevented.
The reasons for accidents during construction activities are related to unique nature of the industry,
human behaviour, difficult work-site conditions, extended odd duty hours, lack of training & awareness
and inadequate safety management. Unsafe working methods, equipment failure and improper
housekeeping also tend to increase the accident rate in construction.
Ensuring good quality of materials, equipment and competent supervision along with compliance of
standard engineering practices shall go a long way to in built safety in the system.

6.1.5 Safe angle of repose while excavating trenches exceeding 1.5m depth upto 3.0m should be
maintained. Based on site conditions, provide proper slope, usually 45o,and suitable bench of 0.5m
width at every 1.5m depth of excavation in all soils except hard rock or provide proper shoring and
strutting to prevent cave-in or slides.
6.1.6 As far as possible, excavated earth should not be placed within one meter of the edge of the trench
or depth of trench whichever is greater.
6.1.7 Don't allow vehicles to operate too close to excavated area. Maintain atleast 2m distance from edge
of excavation. No load, plant or equipment should be placed or moved near the edge of any excavation
where it is likely to cause its collapse and thereby endanger any person unless precautions such as the
provision of shoring or piling are taken to prevent the sides from collapsing.
6.1.8 Adequately anchored stop blocks and barriers should be provided to prevent vehicles being driven
into the excavation. Heavy vehicles should not be allowed near the excavation unless the support work
has been specially designed to permit it.
6.1.9 If an excavation is likely to affect the security of a structure on which persons are working,
precautions should be taken to protect the structure from collapse.
6.1.10 Barricade at 1m height (with red & white band/self glowing caution board) should be provided for
excavations beyond 1.5m depth. Provide two entries/exits for such excavation.
6.1.11 Necessary precautions should be taken for underground utility lines like cables, sewers etc. and
necessary approvals/clearances from the concerned authorities shall be obtained before commencement
of the excavation job.
6.1.12 Water shall be pumped/bailed out, if any accumulates in the trench. Necessary precautions should
be taken to prevent entry of surface water in trenches.
6.1.13 During rains, the soil becomes loose. Take additional precaution against collapse of side wall.
6.1.14 In hazardous areas, air should be tested to ascertain its quality. No one should be allowed entry till
it issuitable for breathing.

will sustain for such default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if these Delay Damages are

Employers from claiming liquidated damages from the Contractor on account of delay to
Delivery, the relevant provisions shall be deemed to be deleted from the Contract and the

payment pursuant to the Contract or otherwise, it shall be a condition precedent to
the entitlement to any claim (without prejudice to the Contractor’s obligation to
comply with any other procedure or obligation in relation thereto and subject
always to any express notification requirements in the Contract), that it gives
notice to the Employers, within thirty (30) days after the Contractor has knowledge
or ought reasonably to have knowledge of the event giving rise to the claim with an
assessment of the impacts of such event. The notification shall include details of
the Contract and, where applicable the Clause, under which the claim is made, the
circumstances in which the claim arises and details of the records that the
Contractor will maintain to substantiate the amount of its claim.

impacts of such event having become known as aforesaid, the Contractor shall maintain
such contemporary records (including those referred to in its notice under Clause 24.1.2

make. Without any admission of liability on its part, the Employers shall on receipt of a
notice under Clause 24.1.2 [Notice of Claims], inspect such contemporary records and may
instruct the Contractor to maintain any further contemporary records as are reasonable and
may be material to the claim of which notice has been given. The Contractor shall permit
the Employers to inspect all records maintained pursuant to this Clause 24.2 [Contemporary

intervals as the Employers may reasonably require, send further interim accounts giving the

as soon as is reasonably practicable but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the
end of the effects resulting from the event.

time related requirements of this Clause 24 [Contractor's Claims]. If the Contractor fails to
give notices pursuant to and in accordance with this Clause 24 [Contractor's Claims] within
the time periods set out, the Contractor shall not be entitled to additional payment or

Contractor, before or after any discussions between the Parties as to minimising the effects
of the Force Majeure, as to the stoppage or suspension of the Supply of the Goods.

material obligation under the Contract by reason of Force Majeure for a continuous period of
one hundred and eighty (180) days from the date first notified under Clause 29.1 [Notice of
Occurrence] then the other Parties may at any time thereafter, and provided performance or
punctual performance by the affected Party is still excused, terminate the Contract by notice
to such Party and such termination will take effect seven (7) days after the date of the
notice. Any termination under this Clause 29.3 [Termination in Consequence of Force
Majeure] shall be without prejudice to the existing rights under the Contract of any Party.

before a referral to mediation and/or arbitration and without recourse to legal proceedings. If

52
Dangote Refinery GPC Template Static 07.11.16
the LCIA. Should either Party fail to nominate his arbitrator within thirty (30)
calendar days after nomination of the other Party's arbitrator, then upon the written
request of such other Party, the LCIA shall appoint an arbitrator nominated by the
President or a Vice-President of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators of the United
Kingdom to act as the arbitrator of the party failing to nominate its arbitrator. The
third arbitrator, who shall act as chairman of the arbitration tribunal, shall be
nominated for appointment by the LCIA, by the President or a Vice-President of
the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators of the United Kingdom. The arbitrators shall
have a command of the English language and shall not be or have been affiliated
in any way with either Party or any branch, parent or subsidiary thereof. In
addition, the third arbitrator shall be well-versed with the governing law specified in
Clause 36 [Governing Law and Jurisdiction] and in matters relevant to the nature
of the Dispute, and shall not be a citizen of or originate from Nigeria or the country
of domicile or residence of any Contractor or any sub-contractor. The arbitration

Party hereto shall have the right to have all necessary parties joined during any
arbitration proceeding hereunder. If failure to join a necessary party in an
arbitration proceeding would cause an injustice with respect to either Party, such
arbitration proceeding shall not be commenced or, if commenced, shall be
dismissed without prejudice.

a dispute has arisen between either (i) either of the Employers and any
other contractor (a "Related Dispute") appointed by or on behalf of the
Employer in respect of the Project (a "Related Party") or (ii) between the
Employers and the Contractor or any Affiliate of the Contractor (a
"Related Dispute"); and
the Related Dispute concerns the same or substantially the same subject
matter as the dispute referred to arbitration under the Contract referred
to in (a) above, then the Employers may require, by notice to the
arbitrators and the relevant Related Party or to the arbitrators and the
Contractor or relevant Affiliate of the Contractor (if the Related Dispute is
between the Employers and the Contractor or an Affiliate of the
Contractor as the case may be),
53
Dangote Refinery GPC Template Static 07.11.16
such Dispute under the Contract concerns the same or substantially the
same subject matter as the Related Dispute and the Employers desire
that the Dispute under the Contract be dealt with by the arbitrator(s)
appointed in the Related Dispute ,
then in such case the Contractor shall allow the Dispute under the Contract to be
dealt with by way of consolidation by the arbitrator(s) in the Related Dispute
provided always that the Contractor shall be entitled not to allow such
consolidation solely on the grounds that the Contractor objects to the identity of
the arbitrator(s) already appointed on the basis that the Contractor has reasonable
grounds to believe that any decision of such arbitrator(s) will not be fair and
impartial. In the event of such consolidation, the parties will comply with such
adjusted timetable for the consolidated arbitration as the arbitrator(s) may direct.
33.4.3 The arbitrators shall have full power to open up, review and revise any decision,
opinion, instruction, determination, certificate or valuation of the Employers, the
Contractor or their representatives related to the Dispute.
33.4.4 Neither Party shall be limited in the proceedings before such arbitrators to the
previous evidence or arguments on any matter whatsoever relevant to the Dispute.

dispute without delay, and waive their right to any form of appeal or recourse to a
court of law or other judicial authority, insofar as such waiver may be validly made.
Awards relating to any Dispute shall be final and binding on the Parties to such
Dispute as from the date they are made.
33.5.2 Any arbitration pursuant to the Contract shall be an international arbitration and
the award shall be regarded as a foreign award relating to a dispute arising out of
a commercial, legal relationship, to which the New York Convention on the
Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards 1958 applies, and shall
not be deemed to be a domestic arbitration under English law or the law of any
other country.
33.6.1 the Parties shall continue to perform their respective obligations under the
Contract in accordance with its terms unless the Parties otherwise agree or unless
the arbitral tribunal orders otherwise in an interim order or ruling; and
33.6.2 the Employers shall pay to the Contractor any monies due and owing to the
Contractor under the Contract unless the arbitral tribunal orders otherwise in an
interim order or ruling.

representation, warranty or undertaking which is not expressly stated in the Contract and

their investment in the Project through limited recourse or other financing in the

3.2.6.1 General description
The system shall have Fire Extinguishing Cubicle (FEC) placed on a plinth at a
distance of 5-10 m away from transformer or placed next to the fire wall. The FEC
shall be connected to the top of transformer main oil tank for depressurization of tank
and to the oil pit (capacity is approximately equal to 10% of total volume of oil in
transformer) from its bottom through oil pipes. The fire extinguishing cubicle shall
house a pressurized nitrogen cylinder(s) which is connected to the oil tank of
transformer tank at bottom. The transformer Conservator Isolation Valve (TCIV) is
provided between the conservator tank and Buchholz relay. Cable connections are to
be provided from signal box to the control box, from control box to fire extinguishing
cubicle and from TCIV to signal box. Fire detectors placed on the top of transformer
tank are to be connected in parallel to the signal box by Fire survival cables. Control
box shall be connected to switchgear located in substation-11 for receiving system
activation signals. Earth points shall be provided on control box and Fire Extinguisher
cubicle and shall be verified for system isolation.
3.2.6.2 Operation philosophy
a) The automatic Detection & Extinguishing System shall be designed such that in the
event of fire occurring at any place on transformer, it shall be detected by fire
detectors fitted on the top of transformer. Fire shall be extinguished within 3 minutes
(maximum) of system activation and within 30 seconds (maximum) of
commencement of nitrogen injection.
b) The aim being to contain and extinguish the fire and provide sufficient time for the
central fire service to activate fixed foam pourer system. Fire detection signals are
received from signal box to relay panel in control box in field for system activation.
c) On receipt of all activating signals, the system shall drain pre-determined volume of
hot oil from the top of tank, through transformer top oil filtration valve to reduce tank
pressure by removing top oil and simultaneously injecting Nitrogen gas at high
pressure for stirring the oil at pre-fixed rate and thus bringing the temperature of
top layer down. Transformer conservator Isolation valve blocks the flow of oil
from conservator tank in case of tank rupture /explosion or bushing bursting.
Nitrogen occupies the space created by oil drained out and acts as an insulating layer
over oil in the tank and thus preventing aggravation of fire.
d) Potential free terminal connection for circuit breakers, differential relay, buchholz
relay, PRV, oil surge relays (3 No for each transformer) are to be connected
directly from switchgear located in respective substation to the control box (by
other).
Format No. EIL 1641-1924 Rev. 1 Copyright EIL – All rights reserved
e) The control system shall be intelligent automatic self-sufficient system without any
external control/logic from DCS/PLC.
f) The system shall be connected to the central control box for display of “Fire”, “Fault”
and “Cylinder Pressure Low” signals. The system vendor shall ensure that the above
stated signals, common for each transformer shall be terminated in the junction box.
g) Additionally, for monitoring the health of each nitrogen cylinder, the system
shall be in a position to reflect the cylinder pressure uniquely by pressure
gauge locally. Also, the signals from the pressure switch for the same shall also
terminate in a junction box.
h) Vendor to submit the actual logic diagram & P&IDs for the nitrogen injection system.
3.2.6.3 Activation/Control system Philosophy
