Emerging Challenges in Pipelines
Challenges during Execution Phase Authorization/Approval of Pipeline Acquisition of Right of Way (RoW) Statutory Clearances Clearances/Permissions for Crossings Geo-Political Issues Contract Management
Authorization/Approval of Pipeline Authorization Process by PNGRB Bidding Process - Detailed Feasibility Report Identification of Pipeline Route – Desktop Survey Timelines for Completion of Projects
Acquisition of Right of Way (RoW) Deputation of Land Acquisition Officer cum Competent Authority by States Non-Availability of good quality Contractor/Survey Agency for Engineering Survey and Cadastral Survey Issue of Compensation : Which Act to Follow - Market Rate or Govt. Rate for Land? Increased Public Awareness
Statutory Clearances Absence of Single Window No Firm Timelines Rule Book differs from State to State Lackadaisical Approach by Government
Geo-Political Issues Political Interference at Local Level Protests/ Dharnas by NGOs, Environmentalist, Activist, Farmers Threat from Locals of sabotaging the Projects Inherent Local Political Issues in the Project Execution State Problems due to Federal Structure
Contract Management Issues Few contractors with proven track records Competition to grab the work Project Manager – Lack of Skill & Training Implementation of Penal Provisions in Contract Deployment of Resources for Project Execution
Challenges during Operations Phase RoW Management Integrity Management of Pipelines Safety of Pipelines Product Specifications Aging Assets
RoW Management Rapid Urbanization Illegal/Unauthorized Mining in RoW Surveillance of RoW Third Party Activities Natural Calamities
Integrity Management of Pipelines Internal & External Corrosion in Pipelines; Microbial Corrosion AC/DC Interference from HT/LT Power Lines Coating Raw Material and its Application Pipelines in Common Corridor Material and Manufacturing Defects in Pipes
Safety of Pipelines Third Party Activities Natural Calamities Pigging in Pipelines Lack of Support of State Authority Pipelines in Urban Areas
Product Specifications Transportation of BS-IV/BS-VI Grade Products Multi Product Pipelines vs Single Product Pipeline Pipeline Compatible Products Phasing Out of SKO Availability of the Required Batch Lengths Interface Management
Aging Assets Increasing Costs of Maintenance Availability of Spares Loss in Productivity Frequent Failures
