IGAT-IV is a 56 inches pipeline and carries 110 mcm/day gas from South Pars Gas Complex and the Parsian Refinery to consumers in the cities of Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz, Kerman, Yazd, and Saveh. It has 5 branches and a total length of more than 1200 km.

Telecom Project of IGAT-IV pipeline was initiated in order to establish telecommunications along the pipeline, from Assaluyeh, to Tehran, in 58 stations including 36 Block Valves, 10 Compressor Stations, 5 Operation Yards and 7 Terminals and Central Stations. Four Central stations in Assaluyeh, Shiraz, Isfahan and Tehran will control all communications. When completed, this telecom network will be the sole Fiber Optic Communication Line between Tehran (as the main network management center) and Assaluyeh (as the main gas production complex in the south part of the country), and therefore will also provides traffic back up for three previous pipelines (first, second and third national Pipelines).

IGAT-IV was awarded to Pars Saman as a PC project. Still, due to some necessities, a professional team reviewed and modified the engineering designs. Subsequently procurement and supply of all equipment was carried out successfully. In 2008, installation of equipment began and is still continuing.

After successful Pre-commissioning in all sites, Commissioning of the whole Pipeline Telecom System will be done and subsequently will be handed over to the Client.

Scope of work

The following systems and equipment are included in this project:

Fiber Optic Transmission system from Assaluyeh to Tehran
Access PDH Multiplexers
Telecom Network Management System in central control stations
Providing Telecom Media for Control and SCADA systems, Leak Detection Systems and also Pipeline Safety systems
