Essar Constructions (India) Limited (ECIL), a subsidiary of Essar Projects
Limited, has secured a Rs186 crore contract from Bharat Oman Refineries Limited
(BORL) for laying 504km of a 930km, 24-inch crude oil pipeline.
ECIL secured the contract against stiff competition from nine Indian and
foreign bidders. The complete length of the pipeline (930km) will stretch from
Vadinar in Gujarat to Bina in Madhya Pradesh where BORL, a joint venture of
Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited and Oman Oil Corporation Limited, is
putting up a refinery. ECIL will execute the longest section comprising three
spreads that add up to 504km and stretch from Vadinar to the Gujarat-MP border.
The scope of work includes residual engineering, laying of the 24-inch
pipeline, including building of dispatch terminal, intermediate pumping
stations and sectionalizing valve stations.
ECIL, an ISO:9001 certified company, has executed various oil and gas
pipeline projects and laid over 2,000km of hydrocarbon pipelines in the past 3
years alone for various oil and gas majors, like Indian Oil Corporation,
Hindustan Petroleum and Gujarat State Petronet Corporation. Currently, the
company is executing an additional 900km of pipeline projects. In addition, it
has laid cross-country pipelines for providing drinking water and has extensive
experience in the construction of land and marine pipelines. It is the only
Indian company to have built and commissioned the world’s second longest iron
ore slurry pipeline (267km) across some of the most difficult terrain.
