Project: Telecom & SCADA systems of Third Azarbaijan Gas Pipeline
Location: Center & North West of Iran
Client: Iranian Gas Engineering and development Company (IGEDC)
Contract Type: Review of detail engineering, procurement, construction, installation & commissioning
Started: 2010
Planned Duration: 28 Months
Status: Procurement/Construction

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 m3/day of natural gas in the first stage, with future expansion to 70 million m3/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.
