The Contracting Authority wants to purchase offshore pipeline certification of the EPII branch pipeline, the Lillebælt Pipeline and PLEM (Pipeline End Manifold), for the Baltic pipe project. The certification must include verification of all phases from design through manufacturing, installation and commissioning in compliance with DNVGL-ST-F101/DNV-OS-F101-and DNVGL-SE-0475/DNV-OSS-301. Based on this the Baltic pipe project must obtain an unconditional certificate of conformity for the pipelines and PLEM, which will be the responsibility of the appointed Certification body.
The unconditional certificate of conformity is a requirement for the project as the Danish Energy Agency (Energistyrelsen) requires this prior to issuing a commissioning permit.
Further details can be found in the tender documents, cf. Scope of work (18/01985-1) Section 1.
The Baltic pipe project will facilitate transport of Norwegian gas to Poland via Denmark. The overall project includes the following main components:
— Offshore pipeline connecting the Norwegian grid (Europipe II) and the Danish grid,
— Expansion of the Danish onshore gas transmission grid,
— Offshore pipeline at Lillebælt Crossing,
— Compressor station in eastern Zealand,
— Offshore pipeline between Denmark and Poland in the Baltic Sea,
— Expansion of the Polish onshore gas transmission grid.
The Contracting Authority has prepared a Scope of Work, enabling the Certification agency to prepare tender for the certification services required for the offshore sections of the Baltic pipe, i.e. EPII Branch Pipeline/EPII PLEM in the North Sea and the Lillebælt crossing pipeline.
The overall objective is to ensure compliance with the Danish Energy Agency requirements and the Danish legislation for gas transmission systems, hence to obtain unconditional certificate of conformity for the pipelines against DNVGL-ST-F101 and Danish legislation.
The verification activities for detailed design, fabrication and installation must be defined according DNVGL-SE-0475, with associated levels of verification involvement and must result in statement of conformities for all associated activities.
