Project Summary

IGEDC (Iranian Gas Engineering development Company) as a major
developer of gas transmission networks in Iran, intends to
establish the Third Azarbaijan Gas Pipe Line to increase gas
supply to the cities and industries in center and north west of
the country. The main pipeline spans for 650 km, with one branch
of about 113 km, encompassing 9 launcher and receivers (L&R), 42
block valves, and 5 Compressor Stations. It is designated to
carry 50 million m
3/day of natural gas in the first stage, with
future expansion to 70 million m
3/day.
In this project,
telecommunication and SCADA systems will be implemented to
facilitate effective, reliable and safe operation of the
pipeline.
Scope of work
Pars Saman has been recently awarded the implementation of
Telecom & SCADA systems of Third Azarbaijan Gas pipeline as a
"PC" project. Scope of the project includes the following:
- Fiber Optic Transmission System:
This portion consists of several systems such as SDH Fiber
Optic Transmission System, PCM Access equipment,
synchronization equipment and SDH and PCM Network Management
Systems & Test Equipment. Fiber optic cable is the backbone
of the telecommunication network, thus will act as the media
for distributing voice and data services and for
transmission of the pipeline SCADA data.
- VHF radio systems:
VHF conventional radio system enables communication among
mobile phones
along the pipeline and also control rooms.
Telecommunication towers will be erected to supply necessary
support for VHF radio system related antenna.
- Data Gathering systems:
RTUs will be installed in various stations to acquire
pipeline related data and transfer them via fiber optic
backbone of the telecommunication network. Also instruments
such as pressure transmitters, temperature transmitters &
cathodic protection transducers are used to interface
between the field and the SCADA system in central control
rooms.
- Power systems:
DC power supply and distribution systems will provide the
required energy for telecommunication and SCADA systems.
Solar subsystem is used to supply green electricity from the
sun.
- Civil work:
This portion includes construction of 56 telecom buildings
in block valve stations, construction of 2 Central telecom &
control buildings in Tabriz and Saveh main stations,
foundation laying and installation of telecom towers and
implementation of grounding and lightning protection
systems.
