1. INTRODUCTION
The Khor Al Zubair NGL Plant is located approximately 30kms to the south of Basra
and currently operated by the South Gas Company.
Train -1 and 2 design production capacity is 350MMscf/d for each train. Current
production is well below the design capacity.
COMPANY requires inspection assessment and rehabilitation of the FACILITIES.

CONTRACTOR will define, through Work Orders, the scope of work, followed by
engineering, procurement and construction management services to rehabilitate the
FACILITIES.
The FACILITIES' rehabilitation will be executed in accordance with COMPANY's

MASTER PLAN.
COMPANY MASTER PLAN shows the requirement to bring Train 2 into full design
capacity and thereafter rehabilitate Train 1.
COMPANY has identified Priority Works that requires immediate attention. These
works should be performed concurrently with Train-2 work.
The FACILITIES includes three LPG production units of which one unit is out of
operation.
Rehabilitation Phase will result in reduced flaring, with the objective of returning
assets to operation in a safe manner.
Later, rejuvenation will address FACILITIES’ life extension and return to nameplate
capacity.
Two Contracts have been awarded to CONTRACTOR, one for In-Country Works and
the other for Out-of-Country Works.
2. PURPOSE
This document covers the minimum general requirements of material for construction
of concrete foundations, structures and miscellaneous concrete works for Iraq South
Gas Utilization Project.

The concrete shall be brought up in level layers of such depth that each layer is
readily and properly incorporated with the layer below by the use of internal vibrators
or by spading, slicing, or ramming. It shall be thoroughly worked against formwork
and around any reinforcement or embedded items without displacing them. Layers
shall not exceed 450 mm in depth where internal vibrators are used or 300 mm in all
other cases.

Concrete, when deposited, shall have a temperature of not less than 5 deg. C and
not more than 320C
Ensure anchors, seats, and other items to be cast into concrete are placed, held
securely, and will not cause hardship in placing concrete.
Maintain records of poured concrete items. Record date, location of pour, quantity,
air temperature, and test samples taken.
9.3.4 Laboratory facilities
Sampling and testing of specimens shall be carried out on all concrete by an

independent testing authority. The testing agency may either be locally available or
dedicated project facilities may be provided.

9466P-000-JSS-1700-002 Page 20 / 23
Laboratory, equipment and personnel and quality systems shall comply with the ACI
301 and be registered, certified and in accordance with local or national government
as required. Calibration of equipment shall be performed in accordance with the
frequencies and to the standards stipulated by national authorities, or as specified by
the project, whichever shall be more stringent. Laboratory test equipment shall be
maintained in good condition and subject to routine servicing and inspection. This
shall be described in the Laboratory Testing Facility Quality Plan which shall be
available for review in the laboratory.
The laboratories shall be able to cope with all required testing and the peak project
work load. Adequate spares shall be provided to prevent delays to inspecting and
testing
All documentation, such as Codes and Standards as well as project procedures,

required to perform the inspection and testing work, shall be available within the
laboratory facilities
9.3.5 Concrete mix design
The design mix shall be developed by addressing proposed application, travel time
from batching location to point of pour, workability, placing equipment, climatic
conditions, sequence for placing concrete including limits of individual pour and the
height of lifts, heat of hydration by minimizing thermal and shrinkage strains and
durability.
Test reports shall be submitted along with the concrete mix design. Obtain approval
before concrete placement.
The compressive strength of the concrete mix shall have a minimum compressive
strength of 28Mpa as per ACI 318.
The maximum water cement ratio shall be 0.40 for structural concrete and 0.55 for
non-structural concrete.
9.3.6 Trial mixes
Trial mixes and trial pours shall be conducted before the permanent placing of
concrete to prove the workability of the design mix and the specified concrete grade
can be obtained.
The relative proportions of the fine and coarse aggregates, the workability and
strength of the mixes shall be determined by production trial mixes.
WORKS

TECHNIP Doc. No :
9466P-000-JSS-1700-002 Page 21 / 23
The trial mixes shall be carried out in order to produce a dense & impermeable
concrete which can be properly placed and compacted and which shall adequately
resist the ingress of damaging salts. A retarding super plasticiser may be required
after testing in the trial mixes.
The required workability for large foundations will differ from that for tall thin sections
of structural concrete cast above ground, and the trial mixes shall allow for both
cases.
When the proposed workability and proportion of the aggregates and super
plasticizer (if any) for each grades of concrete has been established. The test cubes
shall be made and cured in accordance with applicable international codes and
standards.
9.4 Curing and Repair Of Concrete
9.4.1 CURING
Provide most curing by any of the following methods:
 Continually immerse the concrete throughout the curing period.
 Apply water uniformly and continuously throughout the curing period
 Completely cover surface and edges of the concrete with 2 layers of wet
sheeting. Overlap sheeting shall not be less than 150 mm over adjacent
sheeting.
 Wet the entire exposed surface of the concrete thoroughly with a fine spray of
water and cover with impervious sheeting throughout the curing period.
The curing period are 7 days after placement for normal concrete. High early-
strength concrete shall be cured for 3 days after placement. For retaining walls,
minimum of 10 days curing is required. For concrete that will be in full-time or
intermittent contact with alkali soil or waters, curing must not be less than 21 days.
Curing shall begin immediately after concrete has hardened sufficiently to prevent
damage to the surface. During the curing period, the concrete shall be protected from
load stresses, heavy shock, and excessive vibration.
Finished concrete surfaces shall be protected from damage by curing methods or

materials.
9.4.2 Repair
WORKS

TECHNIP Doc. No :
9466P-000-JSS-1700-002 Page 22 / 23
Touching up of concrete surfaces after the removal of formwork is not permitted until
they have been inspected and released in accordance with the quality procedures.
The repair method, including materials and the extent of the repair works to remedy
the imperfections of the concrete, shall be specified and approved for each repair
case and comply with the design requirements of the structure concerned.
Method of statement for repair materials based on other cement types shall be
submitted for approval.
9.5 Tolerances
In addition to the allowed tolerances specified within the relevant codes and
standards mentioned in section 4, the following requirements shall be complied with.
9.5.1 Formed Surfaces
9.5.1.1 Variation from Plumb
In the lines and surfaces, columns, piers, walls and arises:
 in any 3 m length 6 mm
 maximum for entire length 25 mm
For exposed corner columns, control joint grooves and other conspicuous lines:
 in any 3 m length 6 mm
 maximum for entire length 13 mm
9.5.1.2 Footings
Variations in dimensions in plan:
 - 13 mm
 + 50 mm
Misplacement or eccentricity:
 2% of footing width in any direction of misplacement but not more than 50 mm

thickness
 decrease in specified thickness 5%
WORKS

TECHNIP Doc. No :
9466P-000-JSS-1700-002 Page 23 / 23
 increase in specified thickness 25 mm
9.5.2 Cast in Place Anchors
 Bolts projection + 6 mm, - 0mm
 Bolts location D ≤ 20 mm +/- 1 mm
 Bolts location for D > 20 mm +/- 2 mm
 Perpendicularity 3 mm in 1 m
10. QA / QC Requirement
The CONTRACTOR shall maintain an effective QA/QC program which is clearly

establishing the authority and responsibility of those responsible for
CONTRACTOR’s quality system. Persons performing quality functions shall have
sufficient and well defined authority to enforce quality requirements that initiate,
identify, recommend and provide solutions to quality problems and verify the
effectiveness of the corrective actions.
The CONTRACTOR shall identify in purchase documents to its subcontractors all

applicable QA/QC requirements imposed by CONTRACTOR, and shall ensure
compliance thereto.
The CONTRACTOR shall submit certified reports of production tests as soon as the
tests are completed satisfactorily.
