ADDITIONAL DIESEL STORAGE CAPACITY AND BIO-FUELS BLENDING AT SASOL ALRODE FUELS DEPOT
Following the successful completion of the New Sasol Fuels Depot at Alrode and the feasibility study for the additional storage conducted by VGI we are pleased to announce that VGI will continue to assist Sasol Southern Africa Energy in developing this facility into a world class facility. VGI were recently appointed to complete, not only the design of the additional storage of diesel fuels on site, but also the blending of bio-fuels into the petrol delivery system. For both these projects the old de-commissioned tanks will be refurbished and integrated into the new plant. This will require the installation of dedicated pipework, pump stations, fire water system and the integration into the new automated control system of the depot.

Until such time as the office facilities in Maputo are fully functional, the contact information at VGI in South Africa can be used.
Civil Site Engineering for Ericsson
VGI was appointed by Ericsson as one of the civil engineering companies to assist with the detail engineering work for the roll out of the approximately 1250 new sites to extend the MTN network across the country. VGI will be responsible for the Gauteng West and North West MTN sites which is estimated at approximately 600 sites. The engineering scope is the detail layout of the sites, geotechnical survey, quality assurance and as built documentation for each of the sites. VGI’s ability to provide and obtain GIS based information will assist that we can manage the logistics required due to the pace at which the roll out will take place during the project.
DETAIL ENGINEERING REVIEW AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT OF ROMPCO HIGH PRESSURE GAS PIPELINE (LOOP LINE 2)
Following the success that VGI had in the design and construction management of the 145 km, 26 inch diameter, high pressure gas pipeline (GNP) between the Secunda and Sasol Factories, Sasol South Africa, on behalf of the Republic of Mozambique Pipeline Investment Company (ROMPCO), appointed VGI Consulting Africa (an affiliate of VGI Consulting Inc) for the design review and construction management of the second Loop Line of the existing Mozambique to Secunda Pipeline (MSP). This 26 inch, 127 km long, pipeline crosses the Gaza and Inhambane provinces in Mozambique. The Loop Lines are required to increase the capacity of the MSP Pipeline feeding natural gas from Temane and Pande gas fields in Mozambique to South Africa. The MSP Pipeline’s importance to South Africa is not often realized but the gas from this pipeline has an immense importance to the commercial hub (Gauteng) of South Africa as it is the major source of energy to both industrial, commercial and domestic heating requirements. Except for the importance to Gauteng it also forms the feedstock for the gas to liquids plants and chemical plants of Sasol in Secunda and Sasolburg as well large industries such as ArcelorMittal and other foundries near Sasolburg.

RLL2 Project: Gas Pipeline for ROMPCO in Mozambique
We are happy to announce that the 127 km gas Loopline on the MSP Pipeline was successfully commissioned Wednesday evening (2 November 2016). The commissioning was done by Sasol on behalf of ROMPCO with the assistance of VGI Consulting Africa lead by Charl vd Berg and the VGI site team. The 500 kW gas heater, designed by VGI and manufactured and supplied by Energas, played a significant role in the line being commissioned ahead of schedule and in a safe manner.
PPA Flowline Pigging Project in Mozambique
The EPCM Contract for the Flowline Pigging Project for Sasol Petroleum Temane (SPT) was awarded to VGI Consulting Africa Limitada, a full affiliate of VGI Consulting (Pty) Ltd. As previously, VGI Consulting (South Africa) will provide expertize and backup to VGI Africa (Mozambique) for the project to ensure that the required high standards of Sasol are met. The project entails the establishment of pigging facilities for the gathering lines from the individual wellheads to the field manifolds and central process unit in Temane and Pande (Mozambique). The project will install interchangeable pig launchers and receivers for the intelligent pigging of the existing gathering lines. A specific challenge for the project will be the short period during the shutdown available for re-configuring of existing piping on some of the manifolds and wellheads. This project follows the very successful completion of the Republic of Mozambique Pipeline Company (ROMPCO) Loopline 2 Project. The ROMPCO Loopline 2 Project was completed at the end of 2016 within the required schedule and well below budget by the VGI Africa and VGI Consulting team.
