material of type SA213 TP 347 grade of tube size: 54 mm OD x 4.5 mm. These loops shall be connected to the new
Siamese headers by the connecting bent tubes and shall be connected to the inlet side at the marked portion in the
drawings.
.
d. Replacement of Single Reheater Outlet Header with Siamese Headers:
Presently, the final reheater loops are all connected to a single reheater header. This header is the outlet header and it
discharges hot steam at desired steam parameters to IPT. It is intended to replace this single header with two different
Siamese headers. Half of the final reheater tubes shall be connected to one Header and the other half shall be connected
to the other header.
e. Modification of Crisscross connection in the Superheater Circuit Headers:
The steam from the Boiler drum goes to Low Temp. Super Heater (LTSH), first stage of superheating process. After
heating in LTSH coils, it goes to the LTSH Outlet Header. From the LTSH Outlet Header, steam goes to Divisional
Superheater Inlet header. The Steam after getting superheated in the Divisional Superheater goes to the outlet header. The
Steam from the Divisional panel outlet header goes to the Inlet header of the Platen Superheater, where it gets further
superheated and finally goes to the Platen super heater outlet header and moves to HPT as Main steam.
Presently, the LTSH Outlet header and the Divisional panel inlet header are connected criss-cross by means of connecting
pipes whereas the Divisional Panel Outlet header to the Platen Superheater Inlet header is connected straight through by
means of connecting pipes. Now, it is intended that the criss-cross connection between the LTSH Outlet header and the
Divisional panel inlet header shall be connected straight through whereas the Divisional Panel Outlet header to the Platen
Superheater Inlet header shall be connected as criss-cross.
f. General:
It is intended to have a total of approximately 2500 HP weld joints in LTSH, 1110 nos. T-91 HP joints of tubes, 450
nos. T22 HP joints, approx. 1275 nos. SS 347 HP weld joints in Reheater area. In addition, there will be 30 nos. Pipe
joints (12 nos. between Platen-Divisional headers, 8 nos. between LTSH-Divisional headers, 4 nos. between Reheater
Siamese headers and 6 nos. in HRH piping)
It may also be noted that there will be approximately 350 MT of erection and approximately 150 MT of scraps removal
and disposal. Access has to be made by breaking the exisiting roof covered with refractory.
After successful completion of the works, the agency has to carry out Hydraulic test of the Boiler Superheater circuit and
Reheater circuit, which is part of the contract and no extra payment shall be done for the same. The agency is also
expected to follow all safety norms and standards of NTPC and adhere to the quality plans.
It is intended that the contractor has to keep the materials ready after carrying out Radiography of all shop joints
followed by steam cleaning and sponge ball test of coils before shut down of each unit. Separate groups for Radiography,
material handling, gate passes, Stress relieving other than for the site works should be deployed.
It is also required that the agency has to carry out the works of LTSH, Reheater headers, Criss-cross works between
division-Platen and Divisional-LTSH simultaneously. These are all parallel works for which the agency has to depute
separate groups. The agency has to deploy at least 10 pipe welders qualified by NTPC for carrying out 30 nos. pipe
joints as listed above. Highly experienced 7-8 Riggers / Sarang has to be deployed for all the rigging works in each
group as mentioned above. The agency has to deploy at least 20-25 experienced tube fitters, 6-8 pipe fitters , 6-8 pipe
grinders and 20-25 Grindermen for tubes in addition to other skilled / unskilled/ semiskilled workers. This is only
indicative for better mobilization.
The Bidder / agency may go through the detailed scope of work, technical terms and conditions Special conditions of
contract, Drawings, Annexures, quality Plans and GCC of NTPC before submission of the bid and also before start of
the work. In case of any site visit, the bidder / agency may like to visit and contact AGM (CS) / AGM (BMD), NTPC,
TSTPS for the same.
