    This document outlines the procedure for trenching in station areas for a pipeline project from Panipat to Jalandhar in India. It describes marking the trench centerline, excavating depending on soil conditions, and ensuring fresh soil is used for backfilling. The trench must be a minimum width as specified and maintain minimum depth of cover over the pipeline depending on location. Health and safety procedures must be followed, including using personal protective equipment and evacuating personnel to a safe distance.

    WORK PROCEDURE OF TRENCHING

    PURPOSE:
    The purpose of this procedure is to stipulate the method of trenching to be carried out in this
    Pipeline Project
    SCOPE
    The scope covers the trenching of the length wise profile with specific soil types of 24 dia. pipeline for
    construction of LP gas pipeline from Panipat to Jalandhar. Wherever possible trenching take immediately
    after welding of the pipeline
    METHOD:
    To start with a reference line marked the centerline of the trench in presence of GSPL/DCIL/TPIA.
    Depending upon soil conditions, excavation is done on the clear and graded right of way. Suitable
    crossing are provided on one side of the trench to the other. For locating the pipeline / OFC, pipe locator
    shall be used and accordingly trench shall be mark.
    Care is taken to see that the fresh soil recovered from the trenching operation, used for backfilling over
    the laid pipeline in the trench should not mixed with any foreign material. Care is also taken that the earth
    recovered during trenching is not deposited on the stringed pipe, trenching should not kept open for more
    then 2 days Where public or vehicular movement is there.
    Ditches, sewers, drains involved where ever in the execution, work shall be maintain if not possible
    facility would be provided using temporary pipeline crossings. The trench excavated should have a
    minimum width as indicated in the job drawing / specifications. The depth of the cover should be
    measured from the top of the pipe. The depth should be sufficient provided maximum coverage is
    mentioned below.
    Location

    Minimum Cover (Meters) from lowest NGL

    Industrial, Commercial & Residential Area.


    Minor water crossing, Canals , nala, small rivers
    Drainage ditches at road
    Uncased / Cased road crossings
    Rail road crossing
    Other areas excluding major water crossings.

    After completion of lowering levels of the original ground level, bottom of trench and top of the pipe laid
    to be taken and recorded ensure that the minimum cover as indicated above is to be maintained every
    where.

    Procedure No: INDCON-PJPL-STN-MECH-WPS-24 Rev No: 0, Dt. 29/10/07, Page 3 of 5

    The foreign pipeline crossing shall be found out by pipeline locater before trenching work.
    The position were foreign pipeline, the trenching shall be done carefully and by manually.
    The necessary cover shall be maintained.
    Pipeline must be laid in the trench with out any interruption i.e the completed section at the time and the
    activity may be carried out to avoid any accidents.
