Hazira Ph2 &CCE Committee contd.
Mr YR Trivedi of ex-IPCL Baroda was the chief operating manager of cracker then. Typical of him, he made a big hue and cry at the spot when NRP and me were struggling to identify the trouble. Lucky for us, Sh HS Kohli , that time site president was taking his morning round and saw the situation. He stopped and shouted at YRT to move from that area saying the projects and construction will find a solution and rectify; until then don't disturb them and leave them to concentrate. We could resolve the situation after lining up Fouress service engineer. He replaced an internal to resolve. On priority basis he replaced that component in all 6 pumps within three weeks.
The same valves are functioning even now.
Beauty pond conceptualization and Fire water pump house in South plot
To meet the raw water capacity to cater all plants and augment fire water pond and pumping rate, introduction of pond in South plot became necessary. That was the time, the site management quarters including Chairman's rest house were under implementation. Mr Kishore Pradhan,Reliance landscape architect along with me and PBMR deliberated to conceptualize a beauty pond in front of Chairman's bungalow . We envisaged to beautify it even to install some beach umbrellas and swans/ducks to float. As PM , I took advantage of that pond and conceived to install a fire water pump house with 6 X 1000 M3/Hr pumping capacity to cater to South plot meeting that time TAC regulations, a statutory insurance requirement. With the services of M/S TechnoFire I got the approval clearance fast and serve the upcoming naphtha tanks, cracker plant, already commissioned C2 terminal , jetty facilities etc. That dream conceptualization by the team only sustains Hazira growth even as on date.
One lighter aspect !
Considering the pipe stress values, one OSBL-ISBL interface piping at cracker B/L called for 10S
SS piping only and anything higher in thickness was not acceptable. As Mr Charles D'Souza was the responsible construction manager for that ,he flatly refused to accept the 40S SS sourced by bulk procurement group. To convince him to accept the available pipe (40S), Sh Mahesh Kamdar and Sh PS Prasad approached me, since I was close to CD at Hazira site. They were telling me- "AR ,USKO
BHOLO, Hum Jadha Vajhan Maal detha hoon, phir bhi whoh kyon maantha nahin; Usko samjhao ". Luckily I could slip out of situation and they did top-up with 10S pipe later.
PTA Sleeperette
This is a novel pipe rack! The designed pipelines support arrangement was neither a conventional rack nor a sleeper. This was required to pneumatically transfer feed PTA from PTA plant to Polyester plant ; we wanted to transmit the powder with least energy utilizing feasible slope in pipe configuration. The arrangement was conceived at North of PTA plant and arrangement appeared as if a military band on the march! Myself and NRP christened it as Sleeperette.
ETP outlet discharge to river
This task and assignment was tricky one. Site management Mr HSK was pressing for sourcing 450M 30" dia. pipe for that service, which has to be partially buried and to be routed deep into river water. Typical of Sh Mahesh Kamdar, he was looking for rejects and project excess &delayed action.. Real pressure came on projects group and I have to take the call. When I continuously chased him, he identified some second hand pipe stock with a trader.But that party did not have records or certificates for them. In absence of any certificates, he could not request any third party inspectorate to check them . Inspection responsibility fell on me. Contd.......
Key Aspects :- Critical challenge, Incident analysis, Initiative, innovative, Opportunity, Proactive approach, Technical issue
