Liga Asuransi<\/a> – Dear readers, how are you? Again, we are discussing risk management and insurance for the construction industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

This time we focus on the construction works of gas facilities that are considered high risk, the construction of gas includes the processing and distribution plant facilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

As we know today gas is a much-needed source of energy, but on the other hand, gas is also a hazardous, combustible, and explosive material. If it is not managed properly, it can become a source of doom.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a senior <\/span>insurance broker<\/b>, we would like to share our knowledge and experience with you in managing risk and providing appropriate insurance coverage for various construction projects in the energy sector. We summarize this paper from various sources, the list of links is at the end of this paper.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are interested in this article, please share it with your colleagues so that they also understand like you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Indonesia focuses on gas facility development\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

As you may know that the government of Indonesia will build natural gas infrastructure in various regions. The cost required will reach US$ 32.42 billion by 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n

In accordance with the National Energy Policy, the natural gas mix target reaches 25% by 2025. On the other hand, Indonesia has diverse sources of natural gas and is in various regions. For this target to be achieved, a massive gas infrastructure must be built.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The infrastructure to be built includes gas pipelines with an investment of US 8.5 billion, LNG and regasification of 8 billion, gas stations worth US$ 1.3 billion, municipal gas networks of US$ 2.5 billion, and LPG infrastructure of 0.42 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n

The government expects the gas infrastructure to be built by the private sector, given the limitations of the state budget. The state budget is prioritized for the construction of facilities whose benefits are directly felt by the community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Risks of Gas Facility Construction\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Investing in a gas supply infrastructure is a costly, complex, and multi-step undertaking. Since such infrastructure is a strategic component of a national energy supply system, which is designed to provide energy supplies for production and service processes, for the needs of collective and individual heat supplies, its reliability and uninterrupted operation must be ensured.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Every participant in an investment process (an investor, a designer, and a contractor) must be fully aware of the requirements and bear liability for the tasks they have undertaken to perform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The failure of the high-pressure gas pipeline would be extremely dangerous for both people, civil engineering constructions (including buildings), and the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, the use of any method which will diminish the probability of occurrence of such an event is necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n

The process of the construction of the gas pipeline is very complicated and many risk factors can occur. The critical factors can materialize at different stages of the construction process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, in-process risk management is a proper tool in these cases. Additionally, such an approach is used widely in infrastructural construction projects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Having identified the main risk factors in the pipeline construction process (as stated above) one can try to manage them. The main tool of risk management in the industry is quality control.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Excavation Errors Are Significant Gas Line Accidents<\/b><\/p>\n

During this time, excavation damage has almost always been the top cause of \u201csignificant incidents\u201d meaning ruptures that resulted in a fatality, an injury requiring inpatient treatment.\u00a0 Excavation accidents can account for anywhere from a quarter of these ruptures to more than half each year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, appropriate supervision and control become a key element of a construction process with the view to acknowledging and ensuring that a given facility will be built in compliance with the construction law, the conditions specified in a building permit, the applicable regulations, and standards as well as the investor\u2019s demands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The character of a gas supply pipeline construction project has an impact on the scope and types of risks that may occur and adversely affect the outcome of the project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The risks in the pipeline construction projects may be of different origins, including design risk, management risk, construction risk, subcontractor risk, political\/governance risk, economical\/financial risk, owner generated risk, material risk, and equipment in order to cater to its high energy demand, Indonesia is planning to import natural gas through pipelines from neighbouring countries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Risk factors and the specific groups of technological tasks in a gas supply pipeline construction process Construction activities related to linear facilities are exposed to a variety of risks and hazards, the occurrence of which may significantly distort the process and lead to e.g., delays, cost overruns, and, in some extreme cases, discontinuation of a project or a failure to complete a given task.<\/span><\/p>\n

Making a decision on the participation in a tender or on the acceptance of a contract, a party involved should be fully aware of any unfavorable events which may occur and should be able to identify these in an effective way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The risk analysis for the construction of a gas supply pipeline shows that the process is highly complex and covers many stages, which can also be translated into the scope and extent of risks that may have a negative impact on the outcome.<\/span><\/p>\n
