Construction of a gas pipeline to India Bashny.Net

Says the author: Three years ago, we built in India gas pipeline "East-West". The gas pipeline crossing the whole of India - from the city of Kakinada on the coast of the Bay of Bengal to Mumbai and industrial state of Gujarat. Most of the Chinese companies have built the pipeline, we also went to the eastern part - for this part of the Chinese do not want to take any price, were so complicated construction conditions: the track passes through the mountains and rice paddies. His section of the pipeline, we pulled in the state of Andhra Pradesh, to the town of Kakinada Chilakalu total length - 350 km., Along the way crossing the big river Krishna





and Godavari



At first glance, the technology of building the gas pipeline is not so difficult:
1. Marking the track, the layout of pipes



Welding



Development trenches



Laying the pipe in the trench



Backfilling



Test tube



Device control equipment



Reclamation runs
- It is not an accident, and normal working time - followed by an explanation.



One of the main problems was the construction of the Indian climate - hot and sticky wet monsoon - the rains for a period of 2-3 months. Rivers overflow their banks, even flooded bridges



Technique stuck in the thick mud, the pace of construction declined sharply

On the road it was full of snakes - they were afraid at first, then used to



it's near the town



Impudent monkeys climbed anywhere and strive to acquire havchik workers

We had to be on duty at night in particularly difficult areas, and at times - and fight with them, and deliver them to the police. The police catch them did not help, as it was local and, of course, first of all his sympathy. But we have detained criminals still planted - where to go, just caught.
To be honest, I have not once, not twice commemorated the good word of Pavlik Morozov with his attitude to this kulak face. Oh, we rushed to condemn Pavlik - something well, obviously the kid was right!



We lived in a two base camps - at villages and Chilakalu Mirdzhapur, here in these trailers:

Such was the street after a week of strikes gardeners - overgrown all to hell!



It looks like a house within



Also, teams were living in hotels in the cities of Kakinada



and Rajahmundry



The working team we had international. As Russian welders and a half thousand dollars for us to go do not want to work the guys from Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan. We worked well as experts from the United States, the Netherlands and Turkey.



A lot of Indians work - and welders
