4.1 Project description
IEC is the owner and operator of two (2) existing offshore fuel pipelines in
proximity of Eshkol power station. The pipelines supply distillates (light/refined
fuels) and fuel oil (heavy fuels) from two Multi buoy mooring berths (MBM)
located about 1.8 km offshore. Due to proximity to the new Break water (LBW) of
"Hadarom" port, both MBM systems are planned to be relocated, as a results,
the pipelines planned also to be re-routed. Additional fuel oil pipeline will be
designed for future installation.
4.1.1 Following is a short description of the existing pipeline systems:
o Southern MBM connected to a steel pipeline of 16" diameter that used for
loading and unloading tankers of distillates products (refined fuels), hereinafter
called "Southern MBM". The 16” steel pipeline was partially re-routed and a new
pipeline was installed at 2015 as “temporary pipeline”. The southern MBM berth
is located about 300 meters to the north from a new Lee Breakwater (LBW) of
the new "Hadarom" port that is under construction by the Israeli Ports Company
(hereinafter called "IPC").
o Northern MBM connected to a steel pipeline of 24" diameter that used for loading
and unloading tankers of fuel oil (heavy oils), hereinafter called "Northern MBM".
The 24” pipeline was installed at approximately 1959. The northern MBM berth is
located about 1100 meters to the north from the southern MBM.
o Both steel pipelines of the MBMs are terminated onshore in a concrete pit
located inside IEC's Eshkol power station.
o The fuel pipelines at the area near the shore crossing are planned to be covered
under the LBW of the new port.
4.1.2 Following is a short description of the proposed modifications to the existing
systems (MBM berths side and shore crossing side, separately):
4.1.2.1 Relocation of the MBM berths (Berths side):
o As a result of previous nautical risk assessment study performed by IEC, it was
decided that the existing southern MBM berth shall be relocated and shifted by
530m toward the north direction in order to increase the safety distance from the
new LBW. As a result, and in order to save also a safety distance between the
MBM berths, the relocation of the southern MBM berth implied that also the
northern MBM berth location shall be shifted by approximately 750m on the
north-west direction. The sea depth at the new position of the southern MBM will
THE ISRAEL ELECTRIC CORPORATION LTD. ANNEXURE "B" Engineering Division SPEC.: EM-1510 ISSUE: for Proposal
B - 4
be approximately 18.5m. The sea depth at the new position of the northern MBM
position will be approximately 22m.
o The new pipelines system will include new MBM systems and subsea manifolds
in the new locations. The Northern MBM will serve the 24" fuel oil pipeline, and
the Southern MBM will serve two pipelines 16" (distillates) and future 24" (fuel
oil).
4.1.2.2 Modifications of the pipelines after MBMs relocation:
The new configuration of the pipelines will contain three pipelines (instead of
existing two pipelines) as following:
o One new steel pipeline for fuel oil of 24" diameter routed from the new location of
the Northern MBM, crossing perpendicularly the LBW and running in a concrete
conduit in the area of the LBW up to the shoreline. The pipeline planned to be
routed onshore up to the power station.
o One new steel pipeline for distillates fuels oil of 16" diameter will be installed
using existing section of the "temporary 16" pipeline" to form complete distillates
pipeline from the new southern MBM up to the LBW. The pipeline will contain
new section of 16" diameter with 530m long routed from the new location of the
Southern MBM up to the existing "temporary" offshore end of the 16" pipeline.
Additional new section will be installed from an existing offshore bend (closest to
the shore line) on the 16" pipeline routed offshore and crossing the LBW in the
same area of the 24" fuel oil pipeline. The pipeline after crossing planned to be
installed in the same concrete conduit in the area of the LBW up to the shoreline,
then running onshore up to the power station.
o One additional steel pipeline for fuel oil of 24" diameter will be completely new
pipeline will be designed and may be installed in future. The pipeline will be
routed from the new Southern MBM, crossing the LBW at the area of the other
pipelines and planned to run in the same concrete conduit in the area of the LBW
up to the shoreline, then running onshore up to the power station.
4.1.3 Considering the above, IEC is seeking to hire engineering services of a
competent and experienced offshore engineering contractor to provide the
engineering works for the new pipelines system and the related changes as

10.3.2 Winds data to be considered for the design:
It should be noted that the statistical analysis is based on 10min wind time
series, thus, could not be applied for analysis of wind gusts. The statistical
analysis of winds in Ashdod area shows that:
• Approximately 90% of annual winds, 86% of winter winds and 93% of summer
winds are light (Wind speed less than 6 m/s). About 9% of annual winds, 12% of
winter winds and 7% of summer winds are fresh (Wind speed between 6 m/s
and 10 m/s). In general, only 1.2% of annual winds, 2.7% of winter winds and
0.26% of summer winds are strong and exceed 10 m/s.
• The direction of significant winds (wind speed larger than 6 m/s) is NNW with
1.64% occurrence. The dominant direction of strong winds (wind speed larger
than 10 m/s) able to generate wave storms and strong currents is SW with
0.30% occurrence.
• The strongest winds are in reasonable agreement with wave storm events in
deep water. The maximum wind speed 21.8 m/s was recorded during the winter
storm event on 12.12.2010. In that storm the wave significant height at the
Ashdod buoy location larger than 6m. The corresponding wind direction was
SSW.
• Refer to the following figures:

10.3.2.1 Currents:
The statistical analysis of currents in the, according to measurement stations
Asd1-Asd3 (most relevant stations) and CM1-CM3, in Ashdod area shows that:
• Most of the time (90%), the speed of near-surface current does not exceed 35
cm/s at Asd1, Asd2 and Asd3 stations, 25 cm/s at CM1 station and 15 cm/s at CM3
station; and the speed of the near-bottom current does not exceed 25 cm/s at
Asd1, Asd2 and Asd3 stations, 20 cm/s at CM1 station and 10 cm/s at CM3 station.
• The larger velocities were recorded close to the water surface. The largest near-
surface and near-bottom speeds recorded were: at Asd1, Asd2 and Asd3
stations (10 years of measurements) ~ 120 cm/s and 85.0 cm/s respectively; (b) at
Cm1 station for every short time of records (1 year of measurements only) ~ 61
cm/s and 60 cm/s, respectively; (c) at Cm3 station for every short time of records (1
year of measurements only) ~ 41 cm/s and 32 cm/s, respectively.
• The predominant direction of currents is from south to north along shore.
• Refer to the following figures:

10.3.2.2 Seawater Temperature:
The statistical analysis of seawater temperature in the Ashdod area shows that:
• Seawater temperature range from 12.5 ºC in winter to 32.8 ºC in summer. The
average temperatures in winter are 19.6 ºC, 26.2 ºC in summer and 23.4 ºC on
a yearly basis.
• Seawater temperatures are larger than 19.0 ºC for 50% of winter records, 27.5
ºC for 50% of summer records and 23.0 ºC for 50% of annual records.
• Only 10% of winter records show temperature lower than 17.0 ºC, only 10% of
summer records show temperatures lower than 20.0 ºC and only 10% of annual
records show temperature lower than 17.5 ºC.
• Only 10% of winter records show temperature larger than 24.0 ºC, only 10% of
summer records show temperatures larger than 30.5 ºC and only 10% of annual
records show temperature larger than 30.0 ºC.
10.3.2.3 Air Temperature:
Records at the "Negba" meteorological station (Nearest one to Ashdod) during
1981-2000 show that:

meteorological services "IMS" are +31.1 ºC in August and +8 ºC in February.
THE ISRAEL ELECTRIC CORPORATION LTD. ANNEXURE "B" Engineering Division SPEC.: EM-1510 ISSUE: for Proposal
B - 35
• The highest daily maximum and the lowest daily minimum air temperature are
+42.4 ºC in September and -0.7 ºC in February.
10.3.3 Wind Load to be considered for the design of Onshore above ground structures:
The calculation of wind loads on above ground structures in Israel is governed by
the provisions of the Israeli Standard SI 414 (latest edition at contract signing)
“Characteristic Loads in building: Wind Load”.
The calculation shall be accomplished using the basic design wind velocity,
defined below.
According to this Israeli Standard, the basic design wind velocity is defined as
the average velocity for ten (10) minutes, with an average return period of fifty
(50) years, at an altitude of ten (10) meters above ground level, and in a flat open
country terrain with only a few obstacles (Roughness Category II)".
The maximum upper gust velocity (three (3) seconds average) can be calculated
by multiplying the fundamental basic design wind velocity (ten (10) minute
average) by a factor of 1.50.
The fundamental basic design shall be taken from the velocity map which forms
an integral part of the standard.
For the site of the project, the fundamental basic design wind velocity indicated
by this Standard is 30 m/sec.
Roughness Category 0 shall be assumed at the project site.
Note:
For the full Hydrographic data of Ashdod region, refer to Supplement-16,
"Processing of Hydrographic Data for Ashdod Region.
10.3.4 Earthquake Loads to be considered for the design of above ground structures
(Onshore):

B - 36
Resistance of Structures” (Combined Edition 5 (2013) and Amendments 6
(2016), 7 (2017) and 8 (2018) are currently in force).
According to this Standard, the seismicity of the site is expressed by the
expected horizontal ground acceleration coefficient Z and corresponding mapped
horizontal spectral response acceleration parameters Ss and S1.

The expected ground acceleration is a forecast of the peak of the horizontal
ground acceleration due to an earthquake, ah,max, expressed in m/sec², for which
there is a given probability (10%, 5%, 2%) that a stronger acceleration will occur
at least once within a period of 50 years. The gravity acceleration g = 9.81
m/sec2.
For Plant site the following parameters shall be assumed.
