Underground facility to be constructed on east coast by South Asia LPG Co Pvt Ltd, a jv of Hindustan Petroleum Corporation and TotalFina of France. Sept 1999. Project design comprises three caverns in rock 145 m below sea level to provide 60,000 t storage capacity. Location underground will eliminate damage by cyclones and reduce potential for sabotage. Completion in early-2003 at estimated cost of Rs2 billion. January 2000.  Four companies have been shortlisted for the country's first underground Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) storage facility at Visakhapatnam. South Asia LPG Company Ltd (SALPG), a joint venture between Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) and the French oil major TotalFinaElf, which is implementing the project, has shortlisted four international companies for executing the project on a turnkey basis. The four companies are S.K. Engineering Co of Korea, LG Engineering and Construction Co.; Sweden's NCC International AB-France's Sofragaz jv, and JGC Corporation of Japan. The four have been asked to submit their detailed financial and technical bids by next month. The project requires a U-shaped cavern at a depth of 162 metres below ground, . The cavern itself will 24 m-high and 317 m-long for a the total storage capacity of 60,000 tons. Construction to start in May or June this year. 05/02.The commissioning of the country's first underground LPG storage facility by SALPG at Visakhapatnam, one of the deepest mined caverns in the world, is scheduled for June 2007. SALPG, a joint venture between Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) and Total Gas & Power India, a wholly owned subsidiary of French company Total, is setting up the mined cavern for LPG storage at a cost of Rs3.3 billion, with a capacity to store 60,000 tonnes of LPG.The internal walls of the storage facility are not subjected to concreting and the natural surface of the rocks deep within the earth would store the LPG. The stored product is prevented from escaping on the principle of hydraulic containment, whereby the cavern is located at such a depth that the water naturally present in the surrounding rock creates a counter pressure higher than the pressure of the stored product, preventing it from migrating. The water pressure in the rock can be enhanced artificially by special water supply systems (water curtains). In this case, the main storage is located 162 metres below Mean Sea Level (MSL), with the deepest portion being 196 metres below MSL. The underground construction involved excavation of a 4-m diameter vertical shaft that extends up to a depth of 196 m below MSL. At 144 m below MSL, the operation shaft is connected to the water curtain gallery on the basis of the containment principle. Further down, at 178 m below MSL, the operation shaft is connected to the main storage zone by a 4.5 m-high tunnel, called the cavern operation shaft lower connection. The main storage cavern comprises components such as upper shaft connection, east and west cavern main galleries and intermediate connection, which together give a volume of 123,000 cubic metres. The work involved continuous underground blasting of rock, which was powdered and lifted up the shaft for disposal outside. Larsen & Toubro is undertaking the cavern construction work.

  First phase of proposed 55.3 km 3-line network involves 11 km of underground railway between Delhi University and the Central Secretariat near Parliament House using TBMs. Completion 2007. General consultants: joint venture led by Pacific Consultants International (Japan) and including Jarts and Rites. Client: Delhi Metro Rail Corporation. September 1998.   Fifteen consortia, each associated with one or more local companies, have been shortlisted for construction of the 11 km-long underground section. The rest of the network will consist of 44.3 km of elevated and surface lines from Shadara to Nangloi and Subzimandi to Holambikalan. The US$690 million underground contract will be let as two separate packages: design and construction of the 4 km-long section from Delhi University station to the south end of the Inter-State Bus Terminal (ISBT); and design and construction of the 7 km-long section from ISBT to Central Secretariat. Among the shortlisted bidders for one or both packages are: Impregilo (Italy), Nesco (Spain), with Gammon (India); Kumagai Gumi (Japan), Skanska (Sweden), with Hindustan Construction (India) and Itochu (Japan); Dyckerhoff & Widmann (Germany), Shimizu (Japan), and Larsen & Toubro (India); Samsung (South Korea), with Ircon International (India); and Hyundai (South Korea), with Jai Prakash (India). Total cost of the metro project is now expected to be more than US$1.8 billion on completion. January 2000. Line 1 will run 11 km underground from Delhi University at Vishwavidyalaya in the north to Central Secretariat in the south, serving 10 stations. Line 2, the first 25 km surface/elevated route, will link Shahdara in the east to Nangloi in the west via Subzimandi and Tri Nagar. Line 3 was intended to run 19.3 km from Subzimandi to Holambi Kalan, but as this parallels an existing Indian Railways (IR) line, the government is considering whether to build a 16-km route from Tri Nagar to Barwala instead. Tenders are currently being evaluated for construction of Line 1 (underground), and the winning contractors should be announced later this year. Firms shortlisted for the project include Kumagai Gumi, Kajima Corp. and Obayashi of Japan, Skanska AB of Sweden, and Dywidag of Germany. With a water table only 1.5 m below ground level, underground construction will be challenging. From Vishwavidyalaya to New Delhi the ground is a mix of soft soil and quartzitic rock varying from sound to highly weathered. Between New Delhi and Central Secretariat the soft soil is mixed with silt, clay and sand. Construction will be split into two sections, north and south of ISBT. Nine of the stations will be built by cut-and-cover, except Chwari Bazar, which will be NATM. The running tunnels will be bored by EPBs. The northern half of the route, from Vishwavidyalaya to ISBT, is due to open in March, 2004 and the southern section in March, 2005. To help with project management, DMRC has brought in a number of general consultants, including PCI, Tonichi and JARTS of Japan, Parsons Brinckerhoff International of the USA, and RITES (Rail India Technical & Economic Services) of India.
