21 Dec 2013 Evaluate

GAIL (India)’s 1,000 Kms Dabhol-Bengaluru Pipeline Project has been awarded as ‘Premier Project in large construction category’ at Platts Global Energy Awards 2013 held in New York City. Nominations were received from more than 25 countries and finalists were chosen from a list of over 200 nominations, based on their performance for each category’s criteria within the designated time frame. Winners were chosen by an independent panel of judges including former regulators, past heads of major energy companies, leading academics, and international energy experts.

The Dabhol-Bengaluru pipeline was recently dedicated to the nation by the Prime Minister of India during the 8th Asia Gas Partnership Summit 2013. The Rs 4,508 crore, 1000 Km long High pressure Dabhol-Bengaluru Gas Pipeline Project of various diameters, designed to transport 16 MMSCMD of RLNG from Dabhol is a first-of-its-kind undertaken in the difficult terrain of Western Ghats. This ambitious project is an important limb of National Gas Grid and opens Southern India to various sources of natural gas. This project will enable the States of Goa and Karnataka to use the most environment friendly green fuel for the first time.

This is one of the most technically difficult pipelines laid in the country in the highly undulated terrain of Western Ghats, where GAIL has completed construction in only 24 months. The pipeline has been laid in treacherous terrain of Western Ghats encountering several water bodies, rocky strata of Deccan plateau in Karnataka, marshy areas in Goa State, restricted ROU in reserve & protected forest and amidst very high traffic density in Bengaluru city. Many innovative technical methods were adopted for crossing rivers. A record lowering of 41.53 Kms pipeline was achieved in a single day in the project.
