Contractor C shall be responsible for the complete design and design

check of the Works. Any assumption regarding design parameters should be

clearly stated and agreed with the Engineer/Owner (SEC).
Contractor C shall be responsible for the timely submission to the
proper Authorities of details of his proposals for the works, including plant
building colours and landscaping schemes as may be necessary in order to
comply with all relevant legislation, including building permit approval.
Main plant buildings and ancillary buildings shall have structural
steelwork frames, with the upper levels and roofs finished with a profiled,
insulated colour coated sandwich panel cladding system and with concrete or
reinforced masonry dado walls at lower levels. Contractor C may propose of
reinforced concrete construction. The choice of external building materials shall
be durable against the sandstorm erosion and corrosion due to the harsh
environmental conditions that typify this area of Saudi Arabia.
Buildings shall be designed to comply with the relevant parts of the
following fire precaution Standards:
a.

BS 5588 Fire Precautions in the Design and Construction of

Buildings.

b.

BS 5908 Code of Practice for Fire Precautions in Chemical Plant.

Design calculations and analyses shall take into account the most
unfavourable combination of static, and dynamic, erection and laydown loads and
loads due to temperature and shrinkage effects, to which the structure or
component part may be subjected, both for the serviceability and ultimate limit
states. Methods of computation and magnitude of loads shall be in accordance
with the relevant Standards and codes of practices.
All design calculations, reports and drawings shall be clearly presented.
For rotating machinery foundations the pedestal/foundation/soil system
shall be designed for safe operation of the machine at any load within the speed
range, without resonant vibration of the whole or any part of the system.
Machine foundations shall be suitably isolated from all surrounding floor slabs
and structural framing.
Contractor C shall provide all building services (electricity, telephone,
computer, water, HVAC, sanitary waste water, drainage, fire detection and fire
protection etc) and ensure that they are readily accessible for maintenance and
repair and adequate clearance is provided from main structural members and
foundations.

The extent and layout of new roads shall provide suitable access to,
and within, the new plant in order to allow erection and maintenance works to be
undertaken effectively and with minimum disruption.
The dimensions of buildings and rooms shall provide adequate space
for the safe installation and operation of all plant and equipment and for
maintenance procedures to be carried out by the Engineer/Owner (SEC).
Contractor C shall ensure that building sizes and operational spaces are not
made too small.
All buildings shall be provided with roof drainage for disposal of storm
water and be connected to the CCGT station surface water drainage system.
Discharge of roof drains directly on to the ground shall not be permitted.
A foul sewerage system for the power station buildings shall be
provided. Design parameters for this system shall be selected by Contractor C
and shall be subject to approval by the Engineer/Owner (SEC.
A waste water system shall be provided for the power station.
Contractor C shall submit a Design Intent Memorandum (DIM) or Design Concept
Report (DCR) describing the concept and design of the system, specifically in
relation to the expansion of the system built by Contractor B. The design should
allow for the separate collection, and disposal of oily wastewater (arising from
run-off, plant buildings, oil related operations and from major spillages) and of
chemical wastewater and shall be connected with the waste water treatment
system included under the Contract for the OCGT works.

9.4.2

Preferred structural design concept

The structural concepts described below are those preferred by the

Engineer/Owner (SEC) and considered appropriate for the specified site
conditions and requirements of the Project.
It remains Contractor Cs
responsibility under the Contract to consider these concepts as information to
assist his own design and development of the civil works.
9.4.2.1

Structural frames

It is proposed that Contractor Cs design for all buildings may be based

on a structural steel framework, unless agreed otherwise.
The frameworks of all related buildings shall be set out in such a way
so as to allow free access for the installation and maintenance of plant.
Structural steel frameworks shall rely on rigid joints for stability or steel
bracings, located at strategic locations in walls, roofs and floors to avoid plant
access conflicts.
