colleagues for specialized aspects of the projects.

AVANZINI MIDDLE EAST FZE – SHARJAH, U.A.E.PROJECTS

MAIN PROJECTS

After the parenthesis in the oil P/L field, the activity from 1972 was directed to studies, surveys, design and construction of outfalls.Documentation up to 1985 is not any more available .

An early project: outfall from sugar factory, Silifke, Turkey Steel 900mm x 900m (1985)


ISTANBUL ÜSKÜDAR OUTFALL (1989)Steel, 1219.2mm, concrete coated, 275m long to -43m depthLaunched with short ramp in 3 sections joined by rubber flexible jointsBottom pull from the site through a cable return deviation block anchored on the bottom at 350m distance

ISTANBUL BALTALIMANI OUTFALL(1989)Steel, 2 x 1727,2.2mm, 300m long to -73m depth

Twin pipes launched with short ramp in 2 sections joined by rubber flexible joints.

Bottom pull from opposite side of Bosphorus at 1200m distance with a cable deviation block midway on the

bottom at -75m depth.


ISTANBUL, MARMARA GAS MAIN (1990)Substitution of the shore approach of the Marmara Gas Pipeline.Construction of the new string, cut of the existing P/L, bottom pull of the news string to the junction point, lifting of the two ends for the dry-welding of the sections and lowering the pipes in position after the welding.


ISTANBUL, TUZLA OUTFALLL(1992)Steel, 2235.2mm, concrete coated, 2200m longDiffuser at -47m depthPrefabrication on long ramp with multiple weldingand coating stations Installation with bottom pull from offshore barge


SÜGOZÜ (Iskenderun, TR, 2000)Offshore GRP pipelines for the cooling water system. 4 x ND 2800 intake lines, 420m long 4 x ND 2400 outfalls, 1250m long

4 concrete intake structures,Dimensions 9.8 x 7,5 x 8.35hWeight in air ≈ 600 ton


SAIDA, LEBANON, 2003Outfall, GRP, ND 900, length 2150mElevation control obtained with concrete saddles.Diffuser protected with concrete caps.


KADIKÖY OUTFALL, ISTANBUL, 2004Concrete coated steel, 2235.2 mm, length 2308m Welding and coating on inclined long rampInstallation with bottom pull from pulling station on the opposite coastSlope changes obtained with rubber flexible couplings.


IGDAS TRANSMISSION GAS LINES TO PRINCESS ISLANDS (ISTANBUL, 2005)

Steel X52, 219,1, concrete coated, installed with bottom pull

4 connections in sequence, with onshore distribution Main, 3580m Transmissions to

other islands 1450m, 1370m, 2150m


AMBARLI, UNIMAR TPP (2005)Substitution of the original diffuser with a new one ND 2500 and its connection to the main line. The connection has beenrealized in 8 hrs, practicallywithout interruption of theTPP operation, with the use of a combination of shortspools and steel compression Couplings ND 2500


MERSIN OUTFALL (2007)WW Outfall, GRP, ND 1800 with length 2000 mInstalled “pipe after pipe” in trench.Diffuser @ -11m depth


BANDIRMA TPP / ATEC (2008)Cooling water GRP pipelines – 2 x 2200 intake lines 200m long to -23 m depth and 1 x 2400 outfall 350m long with diffuser at -29m depth.


MERSIN GRP DIFFUSER REPAIR (2010)Extensive damages to the diffuser.Pipe brought to land, cleaned and partially recovered.The diffuser was reassembled keeping as much as possible the riser distance.The missing length was compensated with a long steel compression coupling.

It has been interesting to see that there have been a minimum fouling of the internal surfaces.Only local limpets groups vere present.


AL KHALIJ – LIBYA (2010)Onshore cooling water circuit, GRP 4 x ND 2500


BIGA (TR) NEW 2X600 MW POWER PLANT (2010)GRP Discharge line ND 3500, 450m longWith special half buried short diffuser at -33mstabilized with mattresses and gabions


EL AIN EL SOKHNA TPP – EGYPT (2011)

EAST DELTA ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION COMPANYEL AIN EL SOKHNA SUPERCRITICAL THERMAL POWER PLANT UNITS 1 & 22X650 MW GAS/OIL FIRED UNITS

GRP, 3 x ND3000 intake pipelines


SOCHI OUTFALL, RUSSIA (2012) [FIRST STAGE]HDPE structural pipe ND 2000 3700 m longDesign, pipe and ballast blocks supplied by Russian clientType of pipe not suitable for marine installationFirst string broke after the start of the installation of the ballast blocks

The project was stopped after the pipe failureThe pipe was tested and resulted not meeting the standards


SOCHI OUTFALL (RUSSIA) – RESTARTED IN 2013 WITH NEW DESIGNFirst 2000 m of the outfall have been substituted by a tunnelThe remaining 1413 m were delivered as HDPE ND (extruded)Ballast blocks and saddles have been redesigned, together with sinking procedures Installation completedwithout problems.


SAMSUN OTV CCPP POWER PLANT – COOLING WATER PIPELINES (2011/2012)Intake and discharge sealines in GRP, 3 x ND 2400 length 860m and 2 x ND 3200 length 600m including diffuser.GRP intake structures ø 7.25m
