Integrated Refinery & Petrochemical
Complex Public Co., Ltd. (IRPC)
wishes to complete the PHAR - IRPC
multiproduct pipeline system and
facilities to transport refined petroleum
products from the IRPC tank
farm to the PTTAR refinery, which is
located in the Maptaphut industrial
area.
The completed system will comprise
a dedicated booster pump station
and transferred pump station inside
IRPC tank farm, about 27 km x
2“ of multiproduct transmission
pipeline from the IRPC tank farm
to the PTTAR refinery and receiving
station inside the PTTAR refinery
and an associated system and
facilities.
Communication, SCADA, leak detection
and control systems will be
installed and will be independently
operated in the existing control room
located at IRPC Public Company

Dorsch International
Extension of the Chiemgau Clinic
in Marquartstein, Germany
The German Pension Fund (Deutsche
Rentenversicherung) plans the
extension of the Chiemgau Clinic
built in the 920s in Marquartstein
in the Bavarian Alps.
Dorsch International was entrusted
by the client – like several times
before in connection with projects
in the clinic area – with the subsoil
investigation.
Concerning the local geology the
Clinic is built on debris masses of a
prehistoric mountain slide.
The subsoil mostly consists of a siltyclayey
matrix, with a lot of stones
and boulders being embedded.
The geotechnical survey (drillings,
penetration tests, laboratory tests)
showed – unexpectedly with regard
to the results of former geotechnical
surveys at other places on the Clinic
site –, that the subsoil in the area of
the planned extension is featuring no
sufficient load bearing capacity for
the planned building.
Thus, a spread foundation – which
had been used with other buildings
before – was not feasible.
The ground would subside beyond
tolerability and for a longer period
under the loads of the new building.
Moreover there would be the risk of
harmful settlements of the existing
Clinic because of the superposition of
both the old and the new loads.
Only a tip-bearing deep foundation
of the new extension with cast-inplace
piles being drilled into the
bedrock can eliminate the risk of
settlement.
