Abstract: The Master Gas System (MGS) Phase 2 Pipeline project has entered its final construction stage of Mechanical Pre-commissioning of the 56” pipeline. The project pre-commissioning of the pipeline has commenced at all 3 major packages (Eastern, Central, and Western) areas. Pipeline pre-commissioning activities consist of several activities from mechanical cleaning, gauging, hydrotesting, dewatering, and chemical cleaning. Mechanical cleaning of debris, hydrotesting to check strength, dewatering of used chemically treated water, and chemical cleaning and preservation are critical activities that must be performed effectively before the pipeline is put in service. Utilization of different types of scrapers like foam, bi-directional, brush, intelligent, etc. are some critical tools to help in the pre-commissioning stage. After completion of all these activities, the pipeline will be re-instated with all required valves and will be preserved with nitrogen to make it ready for operation use Keywords: Pre-Commissioning, Mechanical Cleaning, Scrapers, Debris, Nitrogen, Strength, Tightness, Chemical cleaning,
The Master Gas System (MGS) Phase 2 Pipeline project has entered its final construction stage of Mechanical Precommissioning of the 56” pipeline. The project consists of around 850 km of 56” and 46” pipelines, which complement the already constructed MGS phase 1 project, to transport natural gas from Eastern to Central and Western regions of Saudi Arabia. The project construction is in its advanced stage and mechanical pre-commissioning of the pipeline has commenced at all 3 major packages (Eastern, Central, and Western) areas. Pipeline pre-commissioning activities consist of several activities from mechanical cleaning, gauging, hydrotesting, dewatering, and chemical cleaning.
