The General Manager (supply chain), FOR: MANAGING DIRECTOR Page 2 SECTION II - BACKGROUND AND PRELIMINARY INFORMATION BACKGROUND Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) Limited was incorporated on 6th September 1973 under the Companies Act and started commercial operations in 1978. The Company is 100 percent owned by the Government of Kenya. The Company operates and maintains a cross-country pipelines system of various sizes with the associated storage and distribution facilities. The pipeline system currently consists of 450 km of Line 1 (14 inch) running from the port of Mombasa to Nairobi, 325 km of Line 2 (8 inch) from Nairobi to Eldoret, 324 km of Line 4 (14 inch) from Nairobi to Eldoret, 121 km of Line 3 (6 inch) from Sinendet to Kisumu (off Line II), 121km of line 6 running from Sinendet to Kisumu. The company is set to commission a 20inch line 5 that will run from Mombasa to Nairobi. This will bring to a total of 1,791 km of pipeline that shall be operated. KPC also owns and operates several pumping stations and depots between the above mentioned stations. The depots are located at Kipevu (PS 14), Moi International Airport (PS12), Embakasi (PS9), Nairobi Terminal (PS10), Nakuru (PS25), Eldoret (PS27) and Kisumu (PS28). In addition, the company operates common-user road and rail tanker loading facilities at Nakuru, Eldoret and Kisumu. Line 1 had a design life of approximately 25 years. Its replacement was due in 2003, however, due to effective maintenance its life was elongated by close to 14 years. PRELIMINARY INFORMATION KPC wishes to replace the 15km of the badly worn out portion of the line 1 that stretches from KPC marker Post KM 38-43 (Samburu Area) & 390-400 (Konza area). The portion intended for replacement is currently in use and is delivering approximately 800m3/hr. of white petroleum product i.e. Automotive Gas Oil, Motor spirit Premium and Dual Purpose Kerosene. The existing 14-inch Line 1 was constructed and commissioned in 1978 with envisaged design life of 25 years after system commissioning. The pipes were manufactured through ERW method of production using carbon steel grade to API 5L X52 specifications with assorted pipe nominal wall thickness of 12.7mm at pump discharge, 8.74mm, 7.92mm, 7.14mm and 6.35mm for other areas. About 80% of the total stretch of the pipeline from Mombasa to Nairobi, measuring approximately 450KM, had a nominal wall thickness of 6.35mm. The pipeline was coated with coal tar enamel as a primary source of corrosion protection. Additionally, the pipeline was installed with impressed current as a secondary means of Cathodic Protection. Over the years the efficiency of these installations have waned resulting to under protection of the pipeline thus leading to severe corrosion damage of the pipeline. The internal body of the pipeline is protected through regular dosing of the corrosion inhibitor.
