Add bore holes for equipment

related to future conversion to
combined cycle (e.g. HRSG,
STG). This soil data will be
necessary to share with the future
contractors for combined cycle
conversion.

Boreholes for future extension

area are excluded from our
scope. We can provide these
additional services for a fee.

TBC has given a proper consideration

for future requirements of CCGT per GE
specifications and contract clause
10.3.4.i. based on the geotechnical soil
information there is no issues on the
site that would impact any future CCTG
we believe these B.H are necessary installation

TBC has followed the requirements of

the tender documents the conceptual
drawing are only indicative of the
general layout or requirement . TBC has
engineered a system that meet all the
requirements in the contract and
provides for a (5) days continuous
operation period ...please advice if you
have any comments on our
calculations ...please identify what
problems there are with our approach

TBC feels that they have met

the requirements of the
contract, especially we have
considered the following and
have provided a system that
meets the HFO (5) day
operation requirement.

The Plant is a Tri-Fuel Plant with

HFO, LDO and Natural GAS and
as result will be highly reliable .

We have considered the

requirement in Article-6.1.2.3.1
(page 12) of Chapter-6 of
Contact document, where it is
specified as follows:

Fuel oil storage tanks with

heating system: storage tanks
total capacity of 5 days total
plant consumption two Raw
Heavy Oil, three treated Heavy
Oil tanks and two certified
tank located in a bunded area.

HFO consumption at -5C ambient

temperature as given in Section VI, Ch. 6,
Annex-01 of Contract document:
Mass flow for each gas turbine (GE 9E) :
32000 kg/h
Average density of HFO : 0,95 kg/l
Volume flow for each gas turbine (GE 9E) :
32000 / 950 = 33,7 m3/h
Volume flow for each power block (2*GTG) :
33,7 m3/h * 2 = 67,37 m3/h

4. HFO Tank capacity do not

match with GE conceptual
Layout.

You have to follow the tender

documents regarding the tanks size.

Volume flow for two power blocks (4*GTG) :

67,37 m3/h * 2 = 134,7 m3/h

Total net capacity of HFO storage tanks

(2 x Raw HFO Tanks + 2 x Certification Tanks
+ 3 x Treated HFO Tanks)

4. HFO Tank capacity do not

match with GE conceptual
Layout.

according to Section VI, Ch. 6, 6.1.2.3.1 will

be equal to

5 days of GT power plant consumption: :

134,7 * 24 * 5 = 16164 m3

However, certification tanks are not included

in this calculation since these may contain
fuel that is out of specification.

Therefore, total net volume two Raw

HFO Tanks and three Treated HFO tanks
should be 16164 m3, at least.
Treated HFO Tanks (3 Ea):
To be able to ensure the 24 hours settlement
of the fuel oil before use (according to the
specification
GEK 28163), three (3) tanks of treated HFO
are necessary: One tank in filling, one tank
in settlement
and one tank is supplying to the GT.
Therefore, net volume of each tank should
be enough for 24 hours
of plant consumption:
Net volume of each Treated HFO tank :
134,7 * 24 = 3233 m3

Total net volume of three Treated HFO

tanks : 3233 * 3 = 9699 m3
Raw HFO Tanks (2 Ea):
The filling flow of the tank from unloading
station shall be designed for a continuous
operation of the FOTP

including the 24 hours settling time before

use.
Net volume of each Raw HFO tank :
134,7 * 24 = 3233 m3
Total net volume of three Raw HFO tanks :
3233 * 2 = 6466 m3

Total net volume of Raw and Treated

HFO Tanks is : 6466 + 9699 = 16165 m3

which is equal to 5 days of plant

consumption.

You have to follow the tender

documents regarding the tanks size.

Item-1:
Location of equipment in Electrical and
Control Building will be as follows:
Ground Floor:
Electrical Switchgear Room:
- 6,6 kV Switchgear Panels
- 0,4 kV LV Switchgear and MCC
Panels
- The protection and metering
system panels for Generator Step-Up
and
Unit Auxiliary Transformers
- DC UPS and Distribution sytem
panels of BOP systems
Battery Room:
- Battery groups and battery
switches of BOP DC-UPS systems

First of all HV building is in

switchyard scope, not in power
plant scope. However, MV/LV
Electrical Building and Central
Control Building are shown as
separate buildings in GEs
concept layout, we combined
Electrical building and Control
building into a single building.
This is a two-storey building
plus a basement. Basement will
be formed by constructing a
steel mezzanine floor.

Item 2:

5. The building shown on the GA

do not correlate to the buildings
included in Chapter 3 of the
contract or on the coneptual
layout. For example, the HV
building is missing. Please
review the contract requirements
and ensure all requirements are
shown on the GA.. For example

Occupied area of the building is

14.4 meters by 36 meters.
Basement shall be constructed
because of the easier entrance
of the cables to the panel
rooms. Clear height of cable
basement will be 2.45 meters.

1- Will

you please clarify where is the

(electrical equipment protection ,
metering panels for main
transformer & generators ) will be
installed . 2- the store building &
guard towers are missing

The basement contains the

cable room and store room (1).
The ground floor contains MV/LV
switchgear room, store room (1)
and battery room. The first floor
contains the central control
room for the overall power
plant, control panel room (CPR),
and office rooms.

The store building is not

included in our bid according to the fact
mentioned in Section VI_Chapter
10_Civil Works , page 108- summry of
main civil works which states that
Prefabricated steel Store Building for
sites had already being purchased and
ordered by MoE and consequently shall
not be supplied by the Contractor.
The Gaurd
Towers will be considerd in our next
revison of layout

Structure shall be reinforced

concrete. Building walls shall be

finish and paint.

TBC's plant site is not the same as

MOE's site. It can be seen in Tender
Documnets Section VI_Chapter

Drawings/site.jpg , that MOE's site is
defined as (1000m X 900m) and TBC's
Plant site is defined as (500m x 400 m)
this is further confirmed by GE drawing
No 144E 1348 / ENGINEERING
DOCUMENTATION /CONCEPTUAL/PLANT
LAYOUT. This drawing has a defined
fence aera of(500m X 500m),
accordingly TBC consided (500mx500m)
as its plant site area and as inculed as
the basis in our priced offer

We preferred not to show site
boundary and plant boundary in
the same drawing since this
would necessitate a smaller
scale (probably 1/1500) to fit
everything in A0 sheet making it
difficult to see plant layout
details on paper.

3. The 2 water wells should

These two water wells will be

backed filled by utilizing soil

this will addressed by a separate letter

Using soil removed from the

TBC explained in our previous

answer,water well areas will be
provided with security fencing and
construction of structures will not be
allowed on these locations. Proposed
backfilling is for security reasons only
and it is not going to be a structural
backfill. Therefore, use of excavated
material should be acceptable for such
backfilling. In any case, there will be
some degree of compaction during
backfilling to provide a stable ground
surface.

The GE Concept Layout drawing for AL

Hydaria does call out 27.45m Dia x
12.8m H tanks for the RAW HDO and
1-Raw HFO tanks size should be the LDO storage tanks which is
enough for the plant for 5 days as approximately a storage volume of
mentioned in chapter 6 annex01 7,564m^3 each whereas, based on 4
clause 4 (i.e. 2tanks*8100m3)2- GT's consuming a fuel flow of
32,000kg/hr each, the storage volume
Certified HFO tank are O.K 3of the tanks would be 7,680m^3 each.
Treated Certified HFO tank are O.K Therefore with the EPC planning on
supplying tanks with a volume of
9,035m^3 each, it appears that the
technical requirements of the contact
for a 5-day operating flow storage
volume are being met.
