1 INTRODUCTION
With rapid industrialisation and the birth of large-scale plants using complex technologies, it
has become vital for industries to develop "Emergency Response & Disaster Management
Plans" to enable them to meet any undesired eventuality. Disaster management has assumed
added significance after the catastrophic happenings at Flixborough, Bhopal, Mexico, and
Chernobyl etc. Indeed some of the disasters in the recent past have brought out glaring
inadequacies in the management systems to respond to a disaster situation to effectively
control and minimise the loss of lives and property.
In view of the hazards associated with hydrocarbon processing industries, it is obligatory,
under the Factories Act, 1948(amended in 1987) and Manufacture, Storage and Import of
Hazardous Chemical (MSIHC) Rules, 1989 to develop our own ERDMP as per PNGRB
norms. Such a plan will ensure establishment of a system, which would make optimum use
of our available resources for speedy containment of the disaster protecting the health and
safety of people, nearby residences and workers as well as minimising damage to property
and environment. There are many agencies involved in the activities associated with disaster
situation e.g. Civil Administration, Fire services, Medical, Police, Army, Voluntary
organisations etc., which call for an organised multi-disciplinary approach to the problem.
DNV has been requested by GAIL to prepare and Emergency Response and Disaster
Management Plan (ERDMP) to satisfy both local regulatory and their internal HSE
requirements.

5 GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT PIPELINE
5.1 Description & Location
Natural Gas pipeline network in Cauvery Basin has been designed to provide uninterrupted
service to both producers and consumers. The system has sufficient built-in redundancy to
meet breakdowns and planned withdrawal of units for routine maintenance. Normally,
pipeline is operated optimally to meet supply and demand forecast. The pipeline route has
been selected to avoid populated areas and has built in design factor commensurate with
degree of risk related to population index of that area.
To prevent damage due to corrosion, three layer PE coated pipes have been used for most of
the lines. Besides, a permanent CP system has been installed for additional protection, the
health of which is routinely monitored.
GAIL, Cauvery Basin consists of a network of around 267 Kms of pipeline of various sizes
and lengths supplying NATURAL GAS to 52 consumers in the region distributed
geographically in different districts. There are 9 gas collecting stations of ONGCL
(Narimanam, Kamalapuram, Nannilam, Tiruvarur EPS, Adiyakkamangalam, Bhuvanagiri,
Kovilkalappal, Ramnad, Kuthalam) divided into Five zones being utilized for supplying gas
to the consumers.
The Five zones are:
Narimanam zone catering to 38 consumers.
Kovilkalappal (Thirumakkotai) zone catering to 2 consumers.
Bhuvanagiri zone catering to 1 consumer.
Kuthalam Zone catering to 6 consumers
Ramnad Zone catering to 5 consumers

Pipeline GAIL, Puducherry
PP027998/GAIL//2012-04-13 Page 10
5.2 MAINTENANCE BASES
The pipeline network has been divided into the following five Zones of operation with the
Base stations as given below
i) PPCL (Narimanam Zone)
ii) Tirumakottai TNEB (Kovilkalappal Zone)
iii) Kuthalam TNEB (Kuthalam & Bhuvanagiri Zones)
iv) Ramnad TNEB (Ramnad Zone)
Each of the above base station is headed by a Base-In-charge who is responsible for safe
operation and maintenance as well as management of any emergency involving the pipeline
arising in the area.
5.3 PIPELINE DESCRIPTION
The following facilities have been provided (as well as proposed) along the Pipeline network:
1. Despatch Terminal
2. Receiving Terminals
3. Sectionalizing valve stations
4. Tap-ins / tap-offs
Natural gas in the pipeline network of Cauvery Basin is supplied through the production
installations of ONGC. The Natural gas from the pipeline grid is supplied to the downstream
consumers.
5.4 DESPATCH TERMINAL
The pipeline network has six Dispatch terminals in total covering all the Zones. The gas is
received from ONGCL and is transported to the downstream consumers through the Pipeline
network at an average operating pressure of 10-15 Kg / cm2.
5.5 SECTIONALIZING VALVE STATIONS
The SV stations are installed on the main trunk line, for the purpose of isolating the sections
of pipeline system in case of any maintenance or emergency or accident.

Pipeline GAIL, Puducherry
PP027998/GAIL//2012-04-13 Page 11
These stations apart from main line isolation valve do have the provision for safe venting off
the gas from the pipeline to the atmosphere. Most of the SVs along the entire pipeline
network are guarded round the clock by security guards, who work in shifts. The security
guards have been provided with Emergency Telephone numbers and have been directed to
provide information as and when necessary.
Each SV station is located inside chain-link fencing and its gate is kept locked.

6 TYPE OF EMERGENCIES:
The emergencies are mainly classified into three levels
Level 1 : This is an emergency or an incident which
can be effectively and safely managed, and contained within the site, location or
installation by the available resources
has no impact outside the site, location or installation
is unlikely to be danger to life, the environment or to company assets or reputation
All the lelvel1 emergencies will be handled by the GAIL Personnel
Level 2 : This is an emergency or an incident which
cannot be effectively and safely managed or contained at the site, location or
installation by available resource and additional support is required
is having, or has the potential to have an effect beyond the site, location or installation
and where external support of mutual aid partner may be involved
is likely to be danger to life, to the environment, to company assets or reputation
level 2 emergencies will be handled by the GAIL personnel and members under
Mutual Aid Scheme
Level 3 : This is an emergency or an incident which
is catastrophic and is likely to affect the population, property and environment inside
and outside the installation, and management & control is done by District
Administration. Although the level 3 emergency falls under the purview of District
Authority but till this will be taken care till the District administration comes into
force.
Level 1 & Level 2 shall normally be grouped as onsite emergency and Level 3 as off-site
emergency.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
High concentrations in air cause Oxygen deficiency leading to unconsciousness.
Under atmospheric pressure and at low concentrations, hydrocarbon gases are not toxic for
humans. The presence of hydrocarbons (at a total concentration not exceeding 3 mg / m3)
has no long-term harmful effects on man. However, at high concentrations hydrocarbon
gases displace oxygen thus causing asphyxia.
The degree of fire and explosion hazards of Natural gas is high, mainly for the following
reasons:
a. Poor visibility of the ignitable mixture and high burning velocity that can injure
instantly anyone coming into contact with it, on account of high calorific value of
Natural Gas (~ 9500 K.Cal /m3).
b. Ability to ignite and burn.
