1.00 PREAMBLE:
M/s. Gujarat Narmada valley Fertilizers & Chemicals Company Ltd. (GNFC) is
engaged in manufacturing of fertilizers and industrial chemicals located at
Bharuch, Gujarat.
Presently GNFC is having two Ammonia Storage Tanks each of 10,000 MT

capacities. One storage tank D-1003A is of single wall (Size 26 M ID x 28.31 M
Ht.) & was built in the year 1978-79. Another storage tank D-1003B is of double
wall - double integrity (inner shell size: 35 M ID x 16 M Ht. & outer shell size: 36.53
ID x 15.2 M Ht.) and was site fabricated later on in the year 1988-89. Both the
above tanks are of LTCS grade of material i.e. ASTM A537 Cl.1.
Now GNFC intent to replace the existing single wall ammonia storage tank D-
1003A into double wall double integrity storage tank with the dimensions similar to
that of existing double wall tank D-1003B.
As per layout, we can only accommodate two storage tanks each of 10,000 MT
capacities within the dyke wall in the existing plant. Hence, due to space
limitations the existing old single wall tank D-1003A need to be dismantled
alongwith its civil foundation and new storage tank shall be installed with a new
foundation suitable to the new tank. It is preferred to have the new tank identical to
that of existing double wall tank D-1003B. The tag no of new tank shall be D-
1003AM1. The new tank shall be installed alongwith all the interconnecting piping
including hook up with the existing system. Scope of work shall include all the
required civil, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation works including tank
insulation and dismantling of old tank.
GNFC intends to carry out the subject job on Lumpsum Turnkey Basis (LSTK).
The scope of work, technical details and all other terms and conditions are
mentioned herewith.
GNFC has appointed M/s PDIL as PMC consultant for the entire project. LSTK

on method of dismantling of the tank hence the contractor will construct the
barricade according to safety requirement. Length of barricade shall be all around
the exiting tank. Civil foundation of temporary barricade must be suitable to the
height of the barricade. Prior approval of GNFC/PDIL will be required for Design
of the barricade. The barricade shall be made of GI sheeting with structural steel
supports. This barricade will be removed and taken away from GNFC premises
by LSTK contractor after completion of work. Please refer Annexure-C for detail
scope of work and other technical details.
