3.0 Basic Scope of Works:

3.1 Background (Overview):

3.1.1 Transnet Pipelines, a division of Transnet Ltd. currently operates over 3,000 km of

pipelines in the Republic of South Africa. TPL clients include BP, Chevron, Engen, Sasol

Oil, Sasol Gas, Shell and Total. Transnet Pipelines’ primary business is the provision of

infrastructure (pipelines, pumps stations, storage tanks etc.) for transporting of petroleum

products from the various manufacturing facilities to the South African market place.

3.1.2 One of these pipelines known as the Durban to Johannesburg Pipeline (DJP) is a refined

products pipeline that runs from the east coastline city of Durban to Sasolburg

approximately 120km to the south of Johannesburg. From there it connects with the inland

products pipeline network which receives additional products from inland refineries and

delivers these products to various points around the Johannesburg area and the inland

Provinces. The primary refined products that are transported in the pipeline system are

various grades of unleaded petrol, diesel and jet fuel.

3.1.3 The current DJP is 12” in diameter and has become capacity constrained and incapable of

supplying the needs of Transnet Pipeline’s clients. A new 24” pipeline has been

constructed by Transnet and it is known as the New Multi-Products Pipeline (NMPP)

3.1.4 Delays with the implementation of the NMPP network, due to various reasons, have

necessitated the DJP sustainability project. The aim of this project is to extend the useful

life of the DJP pipeline, by improving existing infrastructure, as cost effective as possible.

Key to this project is the requirement to maintain a sound communication network. The

existing communication network, is used to transfer process and control data from various

Pump Stations to the Master Control Center (MCC). The existing Frame Relay Network

Transmission Platform has become obsolete and therefore there is a requirement to

replace and upgrade the existing Process Control Network (PCN). The PCN must

therefore be engineered, installed and commissioned in accordance with internationally

accepted standards and procedures, as well as conforming to South African regulations.

The newly engineered solution is to be integrated into the existing DWDM, Dark Fibre and

microwave PCN equipment

3.2 General description of the works:

3.2.1 The existing communication network is making use of Neotel’s Frame Relay Network. The

Process Control, Voice and data are all routed via this Transmission platform. A variety of

Copper, Fibre and Radio (RF) links are used to establish Layer 1 connectivity.

3.2.2 The goal of this project is to replace the “older” type of Transmission platform with DWDM

and SDH network connections, either via Fibre or High Speed Radio connectivity were

applicable. The Ethernet via SDH connections required by TPL are to be supplied by

Transnet Freight Rail (TFR).

3.2.2.1 The communication system installed along the NMPP line is making use of Cisco

ONS 15454 DWDM system. The successful Contractor shall therefore be Cisco

Tier-1 certified, or as a minimum be supported by a certified contractor.

3.2.2.2 Tenderers are required to submit a Macro Design for the Works and equipment

required by TPL, with their Tender submission.



Number: HO/1291/10/07


3.2.2.3 The successful Tenderer appointed by the Client, now referred to as Contractor,

be responsible to submit a Micro Design (LLD) after completing site inspections,

which is to be approved by the Project Manager and Project Engineer. It is

anticipated that the site inspections be aligned during equipment procurement

and delivery time frame, expected to be within a 6 to 8 weeks window.

3.2.2.3.1 Tenderers are to take note that 3 compulsory site assessments are to be

carried out during the tendering Phase. This is to ensure Tenders align

themselves with the conditions at typical Pump Stations. The site visit

date will be stipulated in other sections of this Tender.

3.2.2.3.2 The following sites are to be visited:

3.2.2.3.2.1 Duzi pumps station.

3.2.2.3.2.2 Ladysmith and

3.2.2.3.2.3 Wilge pump station.

3.2.3 Pump Station sites planned to make use of DWDM technology are listed below:

3.2.3.1 Contractors are requested to use the site Co-ordinate information listed in

Section 4.5, for calculating Optical losses between ONS nodes. The designs are

to take into consideration that the 24 Core is an ITU G625 rated cable.

3.2.6 From the listings in section 3.2.4 above, at total of 9 x pump stations are planned to be

linked via Ethernet connections relayed via SDH physical layer. Either making use of radio

or “dark” Fibre connections. TFR (Transnet Freight Rail) are currently proposing to supply

the Radio and Fibre inter-linking networks. (This activity will thus NOT form Part of the

SCOPE of WORKS).



Number: HO/1291/10/07


3.2.7 Tenderers are requested to quote for the option (A) to add additional ports to the existing

7606 and 7604 switches located at NSB and DRS respectively. In addition also quote for

the option (B) to replace these switches with later versions such as the Cisco ASR9000

series.

3.2.8 Tenderers are also requested to quote for the Supply and installation of Cisco ASR920

switches at each site listed in section 3.2.4, fitted with Ethernet trunk ports. The Client

requests that option (C) be included in the tender response, allowing the ASR920 to be

fitted with a STM-1 interface. These units are required to replace outdated Cisco 7201

gateways, currently in-use.
