| Objectives | Phase 2 aims to provide a comprehensive market review of LPRC products, define specific performance requirements relating to the operation and management of such technology and undertake a detailed assessment of product suitability including Full Life Cost Benefit Analysis and Environmental Assessment. To develop performance requirements specific to the use of LPRC technologies to enable a comprehensive assessment of product suitability Full Life Cost Benefit Analysis and Environmental Assessment. | |
| Abstract | This project is a follow up phase of work to investigate in more detail the feasibility of using alternative materials identified previously, specifically Linepipe Reinforced with Composite (LPRC) for transmission pipelines. Phase 2 aims to further assess products identified in Phase 1 through the following tasks: This project aims to perform a comprehensive technical assessment of short listed LPRC products based on information sourced from suppliers and relating to high pressure gas transmission applications. It will also clearly define the minimum performance requirements for LPRC products used on the gas transmission system. Task 1 - LPRC Product Review and Evaluation Task 2 - Full Life Cost Benefit Analysis and Environmental Assessment Task 3 - Development of Performance Requirements Task 4 - Gap Assessment and Technical Review of Data This change control is required to give the project more time to complete all above tasks. Progress has been impacted by the difficulty in obtaining comprehensive technical data about the proprietary LPRC products to inform the various tasks. Consequently, a review of task interdependency and re-planning of the remaining tasks led to a £18. 6k reduction in total cost of the project.Note : Project Documents may be available via the ENA Smarter Networks Portal using the Website link above | |
