The Feruka-Harare pipeline in Zimbabwe is set to undergo a next-generation engineering project. Zimbabwe National oil company, Petrozim Line Ltd who designed and constructed the pipeline under its supervision, awarded Penspen a 10 month engineering contract to deliver the project.
Feruka-Harare pipeline was designed to enhance operational efficiency. Petrozim’s mission on the pipeline is to achieve maximal capacity to meet increasing petroleum products demand. The 208km long pipeline network will undergo operational modifications to ensure its transfer ability to meet the increased demand of petroleum products such as diesel and gasoline
The contract is set to see Penspen deliver detailed engineering and procurement support services including the establishment of a ‘series pumping’ operation, as well as a range of key project components at different sites across the region.

Scope of work
The project will involve installation of two new mainline pump-sets that is pump, motor and variable speed drive packages, piping modifications for the connection of new mainline pump-sets and two new power transformers to supply the new mainline pump-sets.
Piping, instrumentation and metering skid modifications is also part of the project while electrical switchgear, transformers, switchboard, distribution board and a stand-by diesel generator with weatherproof enclosure and diesel tank will also be supplied as part of the contract award.
“Penspen’s scope of work included in the project award demonstrates our range of capabilities in the region and beyond, as a leading provider of engineering services to the energy industry. Penspen has been providing engineering service support to Petrozim for over 20 years and in 2012 completed the FEED, which increased the capacity of the pipeline and the Harare storage facility,” said Neale Carter, Penspen Executive Vice President for the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific Regions.
