 1. TITLE
Restoration of Sea Water Canal Divider Wall at RTR in Plant-35
LOCATION:
Ras Tanura Refinery (RTR), Plant-35, Air & Water, Canal divider wall.

2. WORK SCHEDULE:
2.1. The start date of this contract January 1, 2021 (01/01/2021)
2.2. The period of the contract shall be three years from starting date of this contract.

3. SCOPE OF WORK
This scope of work together with relevant drawings, documents, and applicable Saudi
Aramco Engineering Standards constitute the project basis for installation of a new
Divider Wall for sea water canal at plant 35 in Ras Tanura Refinery.
Sea water canal is identified as one of the critical assets. Failure of a critical asset may
lead to a business interruption. Currently, 2,132 ft (650 meters) long portion of divider
wall located between the sea water intake and return is showing concrete deterioration
and rebar corrosion.
To extend useful service life of the sea water canal system without operational
interruption; the proposal is to fabricate a precast concrete wall panels and anchoring
them in place using divers. This scheme will eliminate the need to divert or control
water level in the canal, allowing construction to proceed un-interrupted.
