5. PROCESS:
The foam and fire hydrant pipe is to be reduced in length to allow for civil works in the old lubes shade area. This
modification is temporary pending future pipeline works. The future pipeline is illustrated below:
The aerial view of the current pipeline is shown below:
The process will involve reducing the length of the two pipes and will include the following:
1. Careful consideration shall be made to ensure that the depot is non-operational before the process can
begin.
2. The lines will then be isolated at the valves and emptied. During emptying the fluids will be released directly
into the drainage channels by means of hoses.
3. Will the pipe emptied, the following sections will be cut from the pipe.
For the foam pipe (yellow), a section along the horizontal pipe section, between 0.4m from the
first pipe support and 0.1m from the 900 Elbow at the first branch.

4. The existing branches feed the valve units, therefore they will be re-attached to the existing line by
Welding. This welding process will be done by a Certified team of welders, assisted by other Civtec
personnel. Before any production welding is performed, the welders shall be qualified according to the
applicable requirement and standard.
NOTE:
All the necessary permits have been organised for this process.
