CONSTRUCTION PROCESSES AND DESIGN ALTERNATIVES FOR THE SKIKDA PIPELINES, ALGERIA. DETAILED STUDY
Study of the feasibility of changing the longitudinal profile, placing the pipelines on the seabed and subsequently protecting them with riprap. This approach reduced the volume of trench to be excavated. The following aspects were calculated using the oceanographic parameters from the Construction Project: – Pipeline protection with riprap and filters – Required pipeline rigidity […]
SUBMARINE PIPELINES FOR THE HONAINE DESALINATION PLANT, ALGERIA. VALIDATION REPORT FOR THE PIPELINES PROPOSED FOR THE PROJECT
Technical report for the validation of the pipelines proposed by PPA&KRAH, dividing into sections to optimize the pipeline according to structural requirements. Additionally, a beach profile study is conducted to analyze the profile evolution under design storm conditions, examining the possibility of removing the protective concrete and maximum soil loads. The pipeline characteristics are: •Seawater […]

NEW SEAWATER INTAKE CAISSON IN RUWAIS (ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES)
Basic design of a new seawater intake caisson at the Ruwais industrial complex. The new intake caisson, Sea Water Intake 3 (SWI-3), is located between the two existing ones (SWI-1 and SWI-2). Key activities include: Location and study of layout alternatives to ensure no interference with the operation of existing SWI-1 and SWI-2. • Study […]
INTAKE CAISSON FOR THE BESÓS 5 C.T.C.C. (BARCELONA, SPAIN). ADAPTATION STUDY
The intake caissons of the Besós I and Besós II C.T.C.C. were redesigned and strengthened for their new use at the Besós V C.T.C.C. Key tasks carried out included: • Hydraulic adaptation of the existing caissons to the new requirements. • Structural works: • Surveying of the current condition • Study and design calculations to […]
MIRFA 2 REVERSE OSMOSIS DESALINATION PLANT (M2 RO – IWP) (ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES)
The scope of work included different solutions for plant capacities of 80 and 120 MGID. For these solutions, the work performed included verification of the suitability of the former pumping station of the preexisting plant (which had been demolished) for the new desalination plant, design of the discharge chamber, and design of the discharge pipelines […]
DETAIL ENGINEERING FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE CARTAGENA DE INDIAS SUBMARINE OUTFALL (COLOMBIA)
Following the damage sustained by the pipeline during the sinking process, a report was drafted to justify the calculations performed to ensure the proper sinking of the Cartagena de Indias submarine outfall pipelines. The sinking study was carried out across three distinct sections: . Section 1: from a depth of 10 m to 16 m. […]
