1.1 Location of GCPTCL

GCPTCL jetty and storage terminal is located at Dahej, District Bharuch, Gujarat along the Gulf of Khambhat. The terminal location is surrounded by a number of jetties in vicinity like Birla copper to its North; Adani Port, Petronet LNG, RDMT Jetty and AGB Shipyard to its south. GCPTCL also has locational advantage with the Petroleum, Chemicals & Petrochemicals Investment Region (PCPIR), Dahej Special Economic Zone (SEZ) and Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) located in its close vicinity.

The location map of GCPTCL is shown in Figure 1.

1.2 Need of the Proposed Project

The basis of establishing GCPTCL at Dahej is to meet the crucial material requirement in the rapidly growing industrial region of Dahej PCPIR, SEZ and DMIC and also to ease the load and congestion at Mumbai, Kandla and other ports. The existing port terminal of GCPTCL consists of a jetty with single berth facility and a storage terminal. The existing berth was built to accommodate vessels upto 40,000 DWT and LOA upto 215 m. After obtaining EC/CRZ clearance in 2016, the jetty was modified to make it suitable for handling larger size vessels of 75000 DT and LOA upto 232 m, thereby increasing the throughput of existing jetty to 4.979 MMTPA. The approved safe filling capacity of the storage terminal is 7.23 lakh KL (Total volume of tanks: 8.5 lakh KL) after obtaining various environmental approvals in 2009, 2011 and 2016.

With the development of new chemical, petrochemical and petroleum manufacturing units within the Petroleum, Chemical and Petrochemical Investment Region (PCPIR), Special Economic Zone (SEZ) and Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) at Dahej, there is an increasing requirements from the existing and new customers for importing, exporting and coastal movements of additional liquid and gaseous chemical products in the region. This drives an opportunity for GCPTCL to tap the business in the region through appropriate expansion of its facilities and associated infrastructure/utilities.

With the recent modification of GCPTCL’s existing jetty, for handling higher capacity vessels, the occupancy of berth has reached to 75%. Hence to handle any additional cargo, it is necessary to expand the existing jetty by constructing a second berth about 500m north to existing berth. The location of new berth has been so selected that it is suitable for ship’s manoeuvring and from operational point of view, the length of the connecting trestle and the pipelines are optimised. Moreover, the objective of proposed expansion is to provide add on gateway to the industries of Dahej-SEZ, PCPIR & DMIC. The development of an additional (second) berth adjacent to the existing berth will not only reduce the logistics cost, but also provide proximity to growing Dahej region a source of supply of materials as compared to distant transportation.

With the increase in cargo volumes, the storage capacities of GCPTCL terminal also needs to be increased by establishing additional storage tanks within the existing GCPTCL terminal and the 39 Ha. diverted forest land in favour of GPCTCL by MoEFCC (letter no. 6-GJC004/2015-BHO/2037 dated 18/08/2015). The storage tanks for the products permitted in CRZ as per Annexure – II of the CRZ Notification 2011 will be developed in this 39 Ha. diverted plot. MoEFCC has duly approved the diversion of the reserved forest land for expansion of the Port & Terminal.

In view of the above, the proposed project will have the following components: 1. Expand the existing jetty capacity to 12.0 MMTPA by setting up second berth. 2. Development of 39 Ha. diverted plot for establishment of additional storage tanks, permitted under Annexure – II of the CRZ Notification 2011. 3. Construction and maintenance dredging at the jetty and navigational channel. 4. Raise the ground level (GL) of 39 Ha. diverted plot using the dredge material and/or dispose the dredge material at GMB approved dredge disposal site. 5. Increasing the storage capacities of the terminal to 17.5 lakh KL by establishing additional tanks along with associated facilities/utilities; 6. Shore Protection Measures for prevention of erosion and; 7. Protection from scouring of jetty.

The basic infrastructure required for above expansion such as availability of land, water, power and other facilities like loading/unloading bay, road, rail, sea traffic, transport pipelines, availability of the berthing facility and outer and inner anchorages etc., are available with GCPTCL. However, some of these infrastructure facilities will have to be strengthened as a part of this proposed project.

Section 2: Project Details

2.0 Proposed Project Details

The proposed project consists of expansion of the existing onshore and offshore facilities of the port and terminal to achieve efficient and adequate cargo handling/storage facilities. GCPTCL being a service provider is in the business of providing facilities for receipt, storage and dispatch of liquid, gaseous and cryogenic chemical products as per requirements of customer for import, export and coastal movement of products. GCPTCL does not carry out any manufacturing activity in its complex.

2.1 Expansion of Existing Jetty

The existing jetty consists of a single berth located along the Gulf of Khambhat. The depth in front of the jetty (existing berth) is -14.0m CD and the advantage of long tidal variation enables the vessels to be berthed alongside. Ships with arrival draft up to 13.0 m. in fully loaded condition can be safely navigated upto the existing berth and remain berthed while loading/unloading. The existing berth handles liquid, gaseous and cryogenic chemicals falling in ‘A’, ‘B’ & ‘General’ Classes, including petroleum, petrochemicals, and cryogenic products. The existing berth is equipped with 4 breasting and 6 mooring dolphins and can handle vessels upto 75,000 DT with LoA range upto 232m.

Similar to the existing GCPTCL berth, the second berth will be located in Gulf of Khambhat without having any channel restrictions for navigational purposes. This will save precious waiting time for the ships while berthing and unberthing. The second berth will be located about 500 m north of the existing berth. Due to geographical location of GCPTCL jetty, which is classified as low accretion zone, construction dredging will be required to be carried out to establish second berth and maintenance dredging for the existing and second berth to maintain depth of -14.0m CD. The quantity of construction dredge material generated will be approx. 5.0 million m3, whereas the quantity of maintenance dredge material will be 0.5 million m3/annum. The proposed berth will consists of a berth head, breasting dolphins, mooring dolphins, approach trestle with carriage way, connecting walkway to mooring dolphins and Port Operation Centre (POC) supported on piles. The second berth will also be designed to accommodate vessel size upto 75,000 DT and will be equipped to handle liquid, gaseous and cryogenic products.

A tentative list of existing and proposed products likely to be handled at the jetty is given in Annexure 1.

The diagrammatic representation of the expansion to be carried out at the existing jetty is given in Annexure 2. The construction methodology for expansion of the existing jetty (second berth) is given as Annexure 3. The footprint area of proposed (second) berth of the jetty is given as Annexure 4.

2.2 Expansion of Existing Storage Terminal

2.2.1 Storage Tanks

Due to increase in the cargo volumes, the storage capacities in the terminal also needs to be increased. Presently the total approved safe filling storage capacity of the terminal is 7.23 lakh KL (Total volume of storage tanks: 8.5 lakh KL). Additional tanks are required to be established to store the additional products planned to be handled at second jetty. The estimated additional storage capacity required is about 9.0 lakh KL. The details of the storages tanks after the establishment of proposed storage tanks is given in Table 4. Table 4: Storage Tanks (Existing and Proposed)

Page 11 of 48

A tentative list of existing and proposed product storage tanks is given in Annexure 5.

2.2.2 Raising Ground Level of Diverted Plot using Dredge Material

The proposed storage tanks will be located distributed within the existing GCPTCL site and the 39 Ha diverted plot. It is proposed to raise and develop this 39 Ha plot area for establishment of additional storage tanks and raise the ground level (GL) of the plot by 1.5 m (avg.) to match the GL of GCPTCL complex. Dredged material from construction dredging will be utilised for raising the GL of the 39 Ha plot. The quantity of dredged material required to raise the level of diverted plot will be 0.6 million m3 (approx.) and the balance dredged material will be disposed at the GMB approved dredge disposal location. The methodology to be adopted for raising the GL of the plot is given in Section 3.0 of Annexure 3.

2.2.3 Shore Protection Measures

Shoreline changes induced by erosion and accretion are natural processes that take place over a time scale. They may occur in response to events, such as wave and tidal action, currents, storms etc. The wave and tidal action, currents etc. are natural forces that easily move the unconsolidated sand and soils in the coastal area, resulting in rapid changes in the position of the shoreline. As proposed, GCPTCL is planning to develop the 39 Ha. of diverted plot, located along the shoreline of Gulf of Khambhat, for establishing the additional storage tanks for storage of products permitted as per the Annexure II of CRZ Notification (2011). To protect the shoreline and the storage tanks from erosion and to restrict the ingress of flood water in the project area, it is proposed to implement shore protection measures. The various shore protection alternatives considered is given in Annexure 6.

2.2.4 Scouring Protection Measures

GCPTCL Port Terminal located along the Gulf of Khambhat is prone to high currents. Due to these high currents, constant scouring is observed around the piles of existing berth.

Scouring is local lowering of seabed elevation that takes place around structures that are constructed in flowing water. Due to constant scouring, the bed material around the piles may get removed, which may affect the structural stability of piles, thereby affecting the overall stability of the jetty. To prevent scouring of the seabed in the vicinity of the jetty, it is proposed to implement scour protection measures at the existing and proposed berth.

Page 12 of 48

The preventive measures being explored to avoid the scouring of seabed soil around piles is given in Annexure 7.

2.2.5 Proposed Tank / Truck Gantry

An additional tank/truck gantry is proposed for dispatch and receipt of additional products to/from various industries. The new tank/truck gantry will consist of eight (08) bays to handle cryogenic/petroleum products and sixteen (16) bays to handle chemical and petrochemical products. All the bays will be designed for top loading through loading arms (with spring loaded dead-man valve for all products) and for bottom unloading through unloading hoses. The associated facilities will comprise of pumps for loading / unloading of products.

2.2.6 Truck Parking Area

With the increase in tank/truck movement for transportation of products, an additional truck parking area will be provided to avoid parking of trucks on the main roads or State Highway, which passes outside the terminal. The parking area will consist of recreation rooms with sanitation facilities, canteen facilities etc. The existing tank/truck entry gates will be used for access to the proposed tank/truck gantry and truck parking areas.

2.2.7 Product transfer pipelines outside B/L of GCPTCL

It is proposed to transfer some of the products to nearby industries in Dahej and other areas through product transfer lines outside the GCPTCL battery limit (B/L). Certain additional pipelines are to be established to cater this need. The tentative list of some of the proposed pipelines are given in Table 5. These pipelines will not pass through any of the eco-sensitive areas.

Section 3: Environment Management

3.0 Environment Management

Environmental and safety policies are an integral part of GCPTCL’s Port & Terminal operations from the inception stages of handling and storing smaller parcels of chemicals all the way to large-scale operations. GCPTCL facilities are carefully designed to be safe for both employees, people residing nearby, its customers and environment.

GCPTCL’s jetty has a state of art infrastructure with fully automated control rooms; storage tanks utilities etc. which are engineered to have a safe working environment in accordance with local regulations and the company’s high level operating standards. Stringent safety procedures, applicable to both company’s and sub-contracted employees are practiced. GCPTCL has also made large investments in automation and installation of advanced safety equipment and fire protection systems, which are maintained regularly.

Adequate and preventive measures are in place to control various emissions within permissible limits. Company’s policy and prime aim is to ensure that Environment, Safety and Health Norms are strictly adhered to. Company has obtained ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004 & OSHA 18001:2007.

3.1 Air Environment

During the construction phase, there will be marginal increase in dust and gaseous emission due to movement of equipment at site, operation of construction equipment, dust emitted during leveling, grading, earthworks, foundation works and other construction related activities. To supress the dust emissions, water will be sprinkled in the high dust prone areas and to minimise gaseous emissions, only well-maintained construction equipment having valid PUC certificates will be employed.

The operational phase of the proposed project involves receipt, storage and distribution of liquid, gaseous and cryogenic products. DG sets proposed to be installed will be used only during emergencies. Emissions from DG sets shall be vented out through the stack of adequate height (CPCB norms) and will be monitored. The liquid, gaseous and cryogenic products will be carefully handled and stored in a closed system (pipelines/tanks), thereby preventing any direct losses/releases into air. The fugitive emission sources from the proposed project will be pumps & compressor seals, control valve glands, flanges & fittings

Page 18 of 48

connectors etc. These source locations will be monitored regularly for fugitive emission of VOC inline with the existing LDAR programme, which will be amended to include the proposed project. Leaks, if any identified, will be attended as given in the repair schedule of LDAR programme. The other component of fugitive emissions are contributed by storage tanks through evaporation / breathing losses. The VOC control measures at the storage tanks such as floating roofs / conical floating roofs to reduce HC/VOC losses, storage of benzene with conical floating roof tanks and vapour recovery systems, regular inspection and proper maintenance of floating roof seals etc., will be sufficient. Addnl. flare (safety device) will be installed to safely burn the excess HC gases from atmospheric or pressurised storages. Ambient air monitoring will also be carried out at the boundary of the premises at regular intervals.

3.2 Effluent Collection, Treatment and Disposal

The effluent generated from cleaning operations of storage tanks or random leakages/spills at the existing Port Terminal are treated in the Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) of a designed capacity of 125m3/day. The existing ETP consist of an Equalization tank, Dissolved Air Floatation system, Flash Mixer with Flocculation tank, Sand Filter, Activated Carbon Filter, Slop Oil and Sludge Handling Systems. The present-day effluent generation quantity is 5m3/day. The additional effluent from the proposed projects, if generated from cleaning operations or random leakages/spillages will also be treated in the existing ETP units, as it has sufficient capacity to accommodate addnl. hydraulic load. The overall effluent generation after the expansion will be within approved quantities of 125 m3/day. GCPTCL is a ‘Zero Liquid Discharge’ site. The treated effluent from the ETP, after meeting GPCB standards, is being reused/recycled within the site either for floor washings or in greenbelt development.

The operational philosophy of effluent collection, treatment and disposal systems are given below:

1. The effluent generated during spills, leakages, tank wash or tank cleaning etc. is collected in Process Waste Sewer (PWS) sump and transferred to ETP through pumps for treatment. 2. The effluent generated during tank drains or pig wash is collected in Oily Waste Sewer (OWS) sump and transferred to ETP through pumps for treatment. 3. The collected effluents are treated in the ETP and utilised for greenbelt development inside the premises after all the parameters are well within the prescribed limits of GPCB.

The jetty area has been declared as ‘No waste disposal area’. All the vessels visiting the jetty will have their own sewage treatment plant. They will also not be allowed to discharge

Page 19 of 48

any sort of waste like bilge, chemicals, fuels, oil, grease, petrochemicals, waste washing and sewage in the jetty area. In case of any spillage in the jetty area during loading/unloading operations, the spills will be drained and collected in the slop tank. The spills collected in the slop tank will be pumped either to the respective storage tanks or treated in the ETP.

Sewage from the administrative building will be routed to the septic tanks followed by soak pits and the sludge generated from septic tanks will be dried and used a manure in the green belt.

3.3 Soil Environment

During the construction phase, the impact on soil will be due to spillages/leakages of fuels, oils, chemicals, paints etc. in storage area or from equipment in maintenance areas. The fuels, oils, chemicals, paints etc. required for the proposed project will be stored in existing storage area which are provided with concrete flooring with containment facilities. The equipment/machineries/vehicles will be serviced in workshops, which are concrete lined and provided with drainage systems. Hence the impact of soil contamination due to spillages/leakages will be negligible. The spills, if any from these areas, will be routed from the containment/drainage facilities to ETP for treatment.

During the operation phase, the spills/leakages of chemical/petrochemical/petroleum will be either during filling or overflow from tankers in the loading/unloading bays. The loading arms will be provided with Dead Man Anchor. If the loading arm is left unattended while filling, the tanker loading will stop. This will ensure that filling is done under supervision. The loading arms will also be provided with overfill sensors to prevent spillage due to malfunction, if any. ESD will be provided in the gantry area to shut down the pumping/dispatch system in case of emergency. The flooring of the loading/unloading bays will be concrete lined and provided with oily water sewers (OWS) to collect the spills. The spills from these areas will be treated in ETP.

The impact on soil due to raising the ground level in the diverted plot by using the dredge material will be determined during the EIA studies.

3.4 Hazardous waste

Due to the proposed expansion, the additional hazardous waste generated will be disposed in line with the provisions given in Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management & Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016. For safe disposal of hazardous waste, the Company has obtained membership from M/s Bharuch Environment Infrastructure Limited (BEIL), Ankleshwar for landfill at TSDF or for incineration. The quantities of hazardous waste generated after expansion projects is given in Table 7.

3.5 Marine Environment

Some of the activities such as design of the proposed berth, piling activities, spillages of construction material, spillages of liquid chemical products being handled at the berth etc. will impact the marine environment. However, these impacts will be considerably minimized during the design, construction and operation phase of the proposed berth. The foundation

Page 21 of 48 of the proposed berth will be designed for specific seismic loads (seismic zone III) as per the relevant IS standards (Criteria for Earthquake Design of Structures). The jetty will be established on piles to considerably reduce the hydraulic and morphological changes around the jetty area. The use of vibro-hammers during piling will considerably minimise the noise levels. The operational noise levels of construction equipment and activities will be minimised through proper lubrication, muffling and use of modern equipment / technology to minimise the impact. Nets, barricades etc. will be provided in the area of transfers and construction activities to avoid spillages of materials in the intertidal and subtidal areas. Manual transfers will be avoided as far as possible. The movement of the construction barges carrying construction materials and machineries will be well planned so that the navigational channel is not crowded with too many vessels so that the accidents and subsequent spillages of materials and fuel are avoided.

Oil/chemical spill may occur during cargo transfer operations from loading arms, cargo tank overflow, collision or grounding of vessels. The proposed berth will be designed for ‘zero leak’. Due care will be taken while handling the liquid products during loading / unloading operations. The loading arms at the berth will be provided with Powered Emergency Release Coupler (PERC) to avoid the possibility of leak. The loading arms will also be equipped with Emergency Shut Down Systems (ESDS) to stop all the cargo operations, in case of any emergency or rough weather. This will avoid accidental discharges at the berth. GCPTCL already has a well-established ‘Oil Spill Management Plan’ which provides a visible form of information, thus reducing the chance of oversight or error during the early stages of dealing with an emergency situation. The Oil Spill Response Plan is a strategy well evolved to identify emergency organisation structure, responsibilities, communications and procedures to respond to oil spill emergencies in the marine area. It also delineates the machinery, equipment and facilities that are to be maintained in readiness at all times to handle any emergency and mitigate its adverse impacts.

Section 4: Site Analysis

4.0 Site Analysis

4.1 Connectivity

By Road

The site is located adjacent to four lane State Highway No. 206 (SH - 206), which finally connects to State Highway No. 6 (SH – 6) i.e. SH from Lakhpat to Valsad via Dahej. The site is also 55 kms away from National Highway No. 8 (NH 8) i.e. NH from Delhi to Mumbai, which passes through Bharuch.

By Air

The nearest airport is located at , which is about 130 kms from the site.

By Rail

The nearest Railway Station is at Bharuch, which is about 50 kms from the site. The port/terminal connects the Northern, Central and Western Railway link. Plans are afoot to convert the existing Narrow Gauge Railway Line between Dahej & Bharuch Junction into broad gauge, one that will connect Dahej directly to all destinations of India.

By Sea

GCPTCL has a modern liquid, gaseous and cryogenic cargo handling terminal in operation. The expansion of the existing project will envisage more ship traffic in terms of increase in number of ships. The present terminal is situated at a strategic location, which will allow larger ships having enough draft. With existing ship traffic, the port terminal has enough room to accommodate more ships. Heavy congestion at Mumbai and Kandla port for handling chemical cargo has already generated demand for an alternate strategic location with ultra-modern port facility. The convenient route of Gulf of Khambhat and the demand for the new business development in the chemical export / import business encourage more ship transport of such material at this strategic location.

4.2 Land Form, Land Use and Land Ownership

The Port Terminal is owned and operated by GCPTCL. The jetty (existing berth) falls within the jurisdiction of the Dahej Port limit of Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB), whereas the

Page 23 of 48

storage terminal is located in the industrial area notified by GIDC. The proposed (second) berth will be established 500m north of existing jetty i.e. within the Dahej Port limits, whereas the proposed storage tanks will be located partially within the existing GCPTCL site and the 39 Ha. diverted plot.

4.3 Infrastructure

Infrastructure is well developed for the complex namely canteen, administration block, QC lab, utility block, electrical substation, warehouse, engineering store, engineering workshop, tank farm, effluent treatment plant and raw and fire water storage tanks, Fire station etc. Additional infrastructure facilities required for the proposed expansion such as additional tank/truck gantry, truck parking areas, central control room, new administrative buildings, HSEF building etc. will be established within the existing GCPTCL complex.

4.4 Climatic data of the region

Climate of the region is hot and humid. It is influenced by surrounding estuary and sea. The maximum temperature during summer and minimum temperature during winter are reported to be 40°C and 12°C respectively. Predominant wind directions varies from South and South-West and North-East direction and average rainfall in the region is about 1200 mm.

Annexure 3

Construction Methodology for Second Berth

The construction methodology for the proposed berth is described below:

1.0 Dredging Activity

Construction Dredging

For construction of second berth at the existing jetty, construction dredging will be required to be carried out to attain sufficient depth i.e. –14.0 m CD in front of second berth for safe navigation of large size vessels with draft upto 13.0 m. Construction dredging of approx. 5.0 million m3 is required to be carried out.

Maintenance Dredging

The tidal range at Gulf of Khambhat is the largest among the Indian coastline. The semi- diurnal tides in the Gulf of Khambhat amplify about threefold from mouth to head, whereas the amplification of diurnal tides is much smaller. Due to the large tidal range, strong currents are observed in the Gulf. It has been observed that these strong currents cause morphological (accretion/erosion) changes in the region. These strong currents carry along with them bed or shore materials, which are likely to deposit in the jetty area/navigational channel, thereby reducing their depth. Hence maintenance dredging will be required to be carried out regularly in front of the existing berth, proposed berth and along navigational channel for safe navigation of vessels to the jetty. The maintenance dredging quantities for maintaining the depth of -14.0m CD depth in front of the existing berth and proposed berth will be approx. 0.5 million m3/annum.

2.0 Dredging Methodology

Construction and maintenance dredging will be carried out using Trailer Suction Hopper Dredger (TSHD) or Dredging with Cutter Suction Dredger (CSD) for dredging of soil, sand and silt, as there is no rock in the jetty area and navigational channel till the depth of - 14.0m CD.

Dredging with TSHD

TSHD is a self-propelling bottom opening hopper barge with suction pipe fitted for dredging. The vessel will be positioned with DGPS positioning system at dredging location. The suction pipe will be lowered and dredging is effected by cutting of soil mass with cutting blade or teeth and churning it with water jets. The soil water mix is then taken to the hopper where the soil settles and excessive water overflows after reaching the overflow level. Dredging operation is stopped when the hopper is filled up with dredged material and the

Page 30 of 48

TSHD is taken to designated disposal location. In this case, the dredge material will used for raising the level of 39 Ha. diverted plot and dispose the dredge material at GMB approved dredge disposal location within Gulf of Khambhat. If the dredged material is proposed to be discharged at GMB approved dredge disposal location, then the material is disposed at the disposal location by opening the bottom doors. The TSHD is then taken back to dredging location and the above operation is repeated till the area is fully dredged up to desired level. The whole dredging operation is monitored with the help of survey vessel, which is equipped with multi beam echo sounder and pre-intermittent and post dredging surveys of bottom profile are taken to monitor the progress of dredging. The figures given below A3.1 and A3.2 show the dredging and dredge disposal operations by TSHD respectively.

Figure A3.1: Dredging by Trailer Suction Hopper Dredger

Figure A3.2: Disposal of Dredged Material from TSHD

Page 31 of 48

Dredging with Cutter Suction Dredger (CSD)

The CSD will be positioned with the help of positioning system and once positioned, its spud will be lowered and side anchors will be positioned in sea bed with the help of support tug boat. The rotating cutter head is then lowered to sea bed, which cuts the soil mass when rotating during swing from one end to other end. The dredge pump is operated to create water flow and pick the soil particles. The dredged material is disposed through the floating pipe line into hopper barge. Floating pontoons are fitted with the floating pipe lines along with suitable anchors so as to keep the pipe lines in position. Hopper barge, when filled with dredged material, is discharged at designated dumping location. After completion of each swing, the CSD is taken forward and similar operation is carried out. Computerized dredge profile monitoring system (DPM) assist in the above dredging operation along with survey and position monitoring system. The figure showing Cutter Section Dredger is given in Figure A3.3.

Figure A3.3: Cutter Suction Dredger

3.0 Raising the level of Diverted Plot.

The proposed storage tanks will be located partially within the existing GCPTCL site (151.58 Ha) and the 39 Ha. diverted plot. The 39 Ha diverted plot will be utilised to establish the storage facilities that are permitted, as per the Annexure-II in CRZ Notification 2011. The ground level (GL) of 39 Ha plot is 1 to 1.5 m below the existing GL of GCPTCL Tank Farm. It is therefore proposed to raise the level of the 39 Ha. plot to the GL of the existing terminal. The raising of plot will be done by following method.

Page 32 of 48

Hydraulic Filling

The hydraulic filling method is suitable for granular fill. Generally, this method is used when filling is carried out from an offshore source.

It is proposed to pump the fill material from a cutter suction hopper dredger. The fill material is dredged from the borrow source with trailer suction dredger, which is moved to the area that needs to be raised and then pump the fill material through the discharge pipe. Bulldozers are used to grade and spread the fill material around the discharge pipe. The discharge pipe is usually set slightly above the required finished level. Pumping is usually done with a mixture of fill material and water. After a certain amount of land has formed, the pipes are extended accordingly. The indicative figure A3.4 given below shows the methodology for raising the plot level using CSD and pipelines.

Figure A 3.4: Raising the plot level using CSD and pipelines

4.0 Piling (Pile Foundation) Prefabricated and painted piles in the pile splicing yard will be brought to load out point using dolly. It will be then be loaded into the material barge at load out jetty. These material barges will be transported to the location with the help of tugs. Once these piles reach at the desired location for driving, the crane mounted over jackup will lift the pile from material pontoon and fix it along the guide according to the alignment of the piles. Once the piles are pitched along the guide, initially it will start moving downwards along the seabed due to its self-weight. Then the crane will lift the vibrohammer and fix it on the pile top. The driving operation of the pile will commence with the help of vibrohammer. Once the pile shows resistance towards being driven with the help of vibrohammer, the vibrohammer will

Page 33 of 48

be replaced with the hydraulic impact hammer till the pile is driven upto its desired founding level. The figure A3.5 given below shows the initial driving of raker piles using vibrohammer

Figure A3.5: Initial driving of Raker piles with Vibro-hammer

5.0 Construction of Mooring/Breasting Dolphins

Berth Platform, Mooring Dolphins, Approach Trestle, Breasting Dolphins will be constructed as a RCC deck platform supported on driven structural steel piles (raker piles). The RCC deck will be part pre-cast and part cast-in-situ. Quick Release Hooks (QRH) with suitable capacity shall be installed on each mooring/breasting dolphin.

The pre-cast units will be constructed in the construction yard.

Sequence of Construction

The following activities are involved in construction of mooring/breasting dolphin:  Driving of steel piles  Cutting of steel piles as per the cut-off level of the piles  Placing of pre-cast slabs – floor slab and side walls  Placing and fixing of reinforcement cage.  Concreting of superstructure infill.  Installation of QRH and catwalks

Page 34 of 48

6.0 Superstructure

After temporarily bracings are secured enough to take the load of the precast slab units, the precast slab elements are placed on the piles. The precast slab elements will be transported through material pontoon from load out jetty. Once the precast slab units are placed, then the wet joints between the precast elements will be constructed. Then the precast wall units will be erected. After that, pile plug and infill concrete is done. The reinforcement will be tied as per the bar bending schedule and after checking concrete will be poured.

7.0 Construction of approach trestle

The distance between the berth location to knuckle platform via the main approach trestle is approx. 700 m. The approach trestle will comprise of small modules, each having the length of 10 m, which will be fabricated at fabrication yard and will be assembled at site to form a single unit viz. approach trestle of 700m long. Knuckle platform is the location where the new approach trestle and piperack would be taken out towards second berth from the existing approach trestle.

Each module will be fabricated with pipelines, supports, walkway structure etc. at the fabrication yard.

Each module will be supported on group of 6 piles and the piles will be at an interval of approx. 10.0 m for the entire stretch between main approach trestle and berth platform. The piles will be provided with a pile cap on which the approach trestle modules will be placed. The pile cap will be fabricated as per drawing and transported to site and the installation of pile cap is completed prior to the installation of approach trestle module. The following sequence shall be carried out for installation of pile cap & trestle module.

 The crane barge will be positioned near the pile and necessary preparation such as fixing of temporary support and guides will be done on top of approach trestle piles, and the piles are then made ready to install the pile cap and necessary cutting will be done to remove the extra length from top of pile followed by edge preparation.  The pile cap will be lifted by the crane from transportation barge as per approved rigging plan and positioned on the top of the pile using guides and supports.  After positioning the pile cap at the correct location, the pile cap will be temporarily locked and the field welding of the pile cap with the pile is carried out.  Once the field welding of pile cap with the pile is completed, applicable Non- Destructive Test (NDT) followed by field painting will be carried out. Then the temporary supports and guides will be removed from pile and the crane barge shall be shifted to other location.

Page 35 of 48

 Once the pile caps are installed, the fabricated approach trestle module will be sea fastened on the transportation barge and transported from load out point to the site and moored alongside of the crane barge.  The installation barge will be positioned in between the two piles where the trestle module is to be installed.  Once the barge is positioned as per approved mooring pattern, after assessing the prevailing sea, wind and water current condition, the sea fastening of the structure will be removed and the trestle module will be lifted by the crane from barge as per the approved rigging plan.  The crane lowers the trestle module on top the pile cap where the supports are already provided.  Final alignment of trestle will be done by the same crane to ensure that all four legs of the module are placed uniformly on the pile cap and that the guide supports are provided as per drawing before releasing the crane.

Similarly all the trestle modules are installed one after another

 Once the approach trestle is formed, pipelines laid on the trestle to the second berth will be hydro tested for mechanical integrity. Also the other works like fixing of cable trays, laying of power cables & instrument cables shall be carried out in approach trestle.  The mooring dolphin and breasting dolphin will be installed on piles. The dolphin platform will be fabricated as per drawings at the fabrication yard. The pile cap which is to be welded to the pile will be an integrated part of the dolphin structure. The structure will be fabricated and transported to the load out point.  The fabricated platform structure is sea fastened on the transportation barge and transported from load out point to the site and moored alongside of the crane barge.  The installation of dolphin platform will be similar to berth platform but only size of platform will be very small compared to the berth platform.  Quick release mooring hooks and capstans will be fitted on the platform. Rubber Fenders fastened to supporting structure are installed on the sea side of the breasting dolphins to enable the berthing of vessels.

8.0 Berth Platform Installation

The berth operating platform structures will be fabricated as per drawings at the fabrication yard. The pile cap which is to be welded to the pile will be an integrated part of the platform structure. The structure will be fabricated and transported to the load out point.

The fabricated platform structure will be sea fastened on the transportation barge and transported from load out point to the site and moored alongside of the crane barge.

Page 36 of 48

Once the grouted pile has attained sufficient strength to take the load of the platform structure / service platform, the erection activity will commence as per the sequence given below.

 Necessary preparation such as fixing of temporary support, guides will be done on the top of pile and cutting shall be done to remove the extra length from top of pile and followed by edge preparation.  Upon assessing the prevailing sea, wind and water current condition, crane barge will be placed near the platform pile location as per approved mooing pattern subsequently the sea fastening is removed and the fabricated platform structure is lifted by the crane from transportation barge as per the approved rigging plan.  The crane will lower the fabricated platform structure and position it on the top of the piles using guides /supports and ensure that the structure is placed as per the drawing / orientation etc.  After positioning the platform structure at the correct location, the structure will be temporarily locked and the field welding of the structure with pile is carried out.  Once the welding of platform structure with pile is completed, applicable NDT followed by field painting is carried out. Then the temporary supports and guides are removed from pile and the crane shall derelease the lifting hook from platform structure.  Concrete slabs will be pre casted in the fabrication yard & transported to the site as and when required. The slabs shall be installed on the platform structure and aligned by crane. Foundation bolts for equipment’s and insert plates for pipe and cable tray supports will be embedded on the concrete slabs.  Once the platform is ready with the deck slab, top side facilities like equipment’s, pipelines, electrical and instrument cables and loss prevention items are installed on the platform as per approved drawing. All these activities shall be carried out by crane barge

Inter Connecting bridge is a steel structure which provides access to the berth operating platform from the approach trestle. It carries a walkway of clear width approx. 1.2 m and branch pipelines from the main approach trestle to the berth piping manifold. The inter connecting bridge will be supported on berth platform and approach trestle pile. With the help of catwalks and inter connecting bridges, berth operating platform, service platform and approach trestle are connected to each other. Once the berth platform is installed, other topside facilities on the platform such as equipment’s, loading arms, piping manifold, slop tanks, electrical, control systems and loss prevention items will be installed by crane barge positioned alongside of berth platform.

Shore Protection Measures

After raising the level of the 39 Ha plot for establishing storage tanks, it is necessary to protect the raised plot from being eroded and restricting ingress of flood water.

Various alternatives for Shore Protection is given below:

Stone pitching: Stone pitching will be done by installation of woven geotextile over graded backfill to arrest loss of fines and laying of stone/boulder (of minimum 30 kg weight). The geo mattress will be anchored both at the top by trenching and bottom by toe bund. The advantage of this method is that it is simple and cost effective. The figure A6.1 shows stone pitching done for prevention of erosion.

Figure A6.1: Stone Pitching

Gabion wall: Gabions are free-draining walls that are constructed by filling large galvanized steel baskets with rock. Gabion walls can also be used as earth retaining structures. The advantage of this method is that it’s speedy, cost effective and allows sufficient natural drainage. The figure A6.2 given below shows the Gabion walls for erosion prevention.

Figure A6.2: Gabion Wall

Sheet Piling: Sheet piling is a form like driving piles using thin interlocking sheets of steel to obtain a continuous barrier in the ground. The main application of sheet piles is as earth retaining structure. It can be used as vertical bank protection method. This method provides the permanent solution for shore protection it’s easy to construct and less time consuming. The figure A6.3 given below shows the sheet piles used for shore protection.

Scouring Protection Measures

GCPTCL Marine Terminal area is prone to high currents upto 6 to 7 Knots, due to this high current, constant scouring is observed around the GCPTCL existing berth piles.

Scour is local lowering of streambed elevation that takes place around structures that are constructed in flowing water. Due to constant scouring around the piles, the constant removal surrounding material around piles may affect the structural stability of piles which may affect the overall stability of GCPTCL Jetty.

Following are the preventive measure available to avoid the scouring of seabed soil around piles for existing and proposed berth. GCPTCL will adopt any of the following measures after proper analysis and studies through the Professional Geotechnical Engineering Consultants.

Rock riprap: Rock ripraps (armors) are placed around the piles to protect the plies from scouring. The rocks are placed sufficiently below sea bed level to avoid scouring. Geofabric is placed before rock dumping to protect below soil from further scouring. The figure A7.1 given below shows the rock rip-raps used for scour protection.

Figure A7.1: Rock Ripraps

Gabion boxes/ rock mattresses: Gabion boxes or rock mattresses are constructed by filling large galvanized steel baskets or flat steel boxes (for mattresses) with rock. These gabions boxes or rock mattresses are dumped around scour affected piles and made sure the area is covered fully to avoid the scouring around piles. The figure A7.2 given below shows the gabion boxes/rock mattresses used for scour protection.

Figure A7.2: Gabions Boxes

Sack gabions: Like Gabion boxes, Sack gabions are cylindrical wire mesh baskets constructed of double twisted galvanized steel or galvanized steel with PVC coating. When filled with stones, sack gabions are dumped around scour affected piles to avoid the scouring around piles. The figure A7.3 given below shows the sack gabions used for scour protection.

Figure A7.3: Sack Gabions Concrete filled bags and mats: Concrete or grout filled bags are sacks that are filled with concrete and stacked to form an armour layer. Typically, the mat is strengthened with steel cables. The figure A7.4 given below shows the concrete filled bags and mats used for scour protection.

Figure 7.4: Concrete filled bags and mats Articulating concrete blocks: Similar to rock riptaps, concrete blocks of various sizes are manufactured and placed on geofabric surrounding the scour affected pile to avoid the further scouring around piles. The figure A7.5 given below shows the concrete filled bags and mats used for scour protection.
