1  Particular technical specifications

The Particular Technical Specifications (PTS) cover only those items that are specific to a particular scheme and includes:

·  The scope of work

·  Site information

·  Pipe’s detailed specification

·  Mechanical and electrical works in terms of specific performance and duty characteristics of pumping plant, motors and switchgear

The Particular Specification should be read in conjunction with the General Specification, which includes specifications and standards applicable to all work, materials, plant and equipment which are common to all schemes.

2  SCOPE OF WORKS

2.1  INTRODUCTION

The objectives of the contract is the construction, testing, commissioning and subsequent training of operation and maintenance staff in respect of the Rehabilitation of the Centralized Irrigation System in Cosnita (2483Ha). The Contract includes the furnishing of all labour, plant, equipment and materials required to complete the entire works, pre-commissioning, commissioning, testing, reinstatement of the Sites, preparation of working, shop and as-built drawings, training of operation and maintenance staff and the rectification of defects during the maintenance period specified in the Contract.

2.2  location of Works

The irrigation system Cosnita is located in Dubasari district on the left bank of Nistru River. The total irrigable area is about 2483 hectares and consists of the following four sectors laying between villages Cosnita and Pirita inside of an almost circular meander of the Nistru River:

Ø  The first sector (called sector SP-1) of 1043 Ha is served by the pressure pumping station SP-1 taking water from Nistru River and delivering it directly to the pipe network.

Ø  The second sector (called sector SP-2), of 365Ha is served by the pumping station SP-2 which takes water from Nistru River and delivers it directly to the pipe network. The irrigated land is situated on the left side of a sharp bend of River Nistru, to the south-west of the village Pirita.

Ø  The third sector (called sector SP-3, S-1), of 583Ha is served by the supply pumping stations SP-3 which takes water from Nistru River and delivers it to the pressure pumping station S-1 which, in turn, delivers the water to the pipe network. The irrigated area is located on the left side of the steep curve of River Nistru, to the south-west of the village Cosnita

Ø  The forth sector (called sector SP-4), comprising about 492Ha is served by the pump station SP-4.

The irrigation network has a total length of about 85 km and consists of distribution pipelines mainly made of asbestos-cement pipe sections of diameters variable between 160 and 400 mm and nominal pressure 8 bar.
