This document outlines the design of a pipeline to reinforce the high pressure gas main system in Kingston, Ontario. A simulation model was used to determine that 12-inch diameter pipe was required to satisfy pressure needs. Grade 359 steel was specified for the 12-inch pipe to withstand the necessary operating pressures for a Class 4 location. Lower grades were specified for 8-inch and 4-inch pipes. The maximum hoop stress in the pipes was required to be below 30% of the steel minimum yield strength to qualify as a distribution system.

Foreword The following following document outlines the stages that were followed in the design of the pipe material to be utilized in the construction of the high pressure gas main to be constructed in 2005. This document was compiled by Utilities Kingston personnel and then forward to Mark Wolnick, a consultant retained for peer review. Mr Wolnick was able to provide a fresh point of view, not considered by internal staff that results in material design changes that subsequently wil mean cost savings. The revisions and correspondence from Mr Wolnick are attached to the original document as appendixes. 4 of 35 1425445 Ontario Limited 211 Counter Street P.O.

1.0 Network Simulation
The following is a brief summary of the items considered to arrive upon the size of the main to be utilized in the proposed HP Distribution system. A simulation of the proposed high pressure distribution system was created using an arbitrary route. Several scenarios were run through this simulation with the consideration that : The current system runs at 325 psi The peak hour was around 2150 mcfh, December 31, 1999 from 8 to 9 PM (from historical records) Queens requires 334 mcfh at 400 psi It was decided to determine the pipe size at the minimum operating pressure required to satisfy Queens requirements and provide sufficient backup to carry the load of the existing distribution system in the event of a failure When the model was run using NPS 8, the pressure leaving City Gate needed to be at 600 psi and left no room for expansion. With NPS 10 from city gate to Counter-Sir J.A. the take off pressure at 500 psi delivers 415 psi to Queens. The following are solutions from the modeling scenarios that were created.

2.0 Gas Main Sizing
Using NPS 10 seemed a favorable scenario until inquiries where made regarding availability and cost of materials (future considerations). The Discussions, and estimates where provided from several firms including: Larry Myers from AF Hall Ltd. who provide several appurtanances including valves and cathodic insulators. Brian Smith of Williamson Industries, they supply Spherical Tees and other fittings used for future modifications to the system. Cliff Clarke, Enbridge gas Ltd. Enbridge provides us with some consulting and perform work on our system, under our direction. Estimates from the suppliers are attached with this and demonstrate that 10 fittings are more uncommon than 12 and as such are generally as or more expensive and require a much greater delivery time. Cliff felt that construction costs between 10 and 12 should not vary much as the trench preparation and any remedial work is the same. He did state however that 12 would leave much room for future expansion and security if the existing HP system need to be taken out of service. He was also concerned that if we required the assistance of Enbridge crews as we have utilized frequently in the last several years, because they do not use 10 pipe they would not have the equipment to work on this main. Phone conversations with representatives of steel manufacturers Bob Colum of Stelco Inc in Hamilton and Alex Afaganis of the Camrose Pipe Company in Camrose Alberta also left an uncomfortable feeling about the supply of 10 pipe. Nothing in particular derogatory was said of the size rather just comments as to the uncommonness of this size in Canada. Following these conversations the network simulation was rerun with the same criteria as before but utilizing 12 diameter main. When the simulation was changed to NPS 12 from city gate to Counter-Sir J.A. and the remaining NPS 8, the take off pressure only needed to be at 450 psi to arrive at 400 at Queens as is demonstrated on the following graphic.

3.0 Pipe Grade In order to determine the grade of the pipes to be used in the construction of a pipeline several factors must be known: Desired wall thickness Outside diameter Class location factor Design factor Joint factor for seamless pipe Temperature factor Because of the possibility of development along the studied routes, it was decided to use a class location 4 for the calculations for determining the pipe grade. The typical pipes in our distribution system are 0.250 wall thickness, so for the sake of consistancy this was also used in the calculations. This said the following are the known factors:
Material: Steel Grade: S = Unknown Wall Thickness: t = Schedule 20 6.4mm (0.250) Outside Diameter: D = NPS 12 323.9mm Outside Diameter: D = NPS 8 219.1mm Outside Diameter: D = NPS 4 114.3mm Class Location: 4 (Z662 4.3.2.5) Design Factor: F = 0.8 (Z662 4.3.3.2) Location Factor: L = 0.50 (Z662 4.3.3.3) Joint Factor for Seamless: J = 1.00 (Z662 4.3.3.4) Temperature Factor: T = 1.00 (Z662 4.3.3.5)
MOP: 4137KPa = 80% of design pressure (Z662 10.11.4.4) P = 4137 0.8 P = 5171 KPa = 755 PSI
The formulae for design pressure was utilized to determine the grades of pipes:
Design Pressure: P = 2St x 10 3 x F x L x J x T (Z662 4.3.3.1.1) D 12 of 35 1425445 Ontario Limited 211 Counter Street P.O. Box 790 Kingston ON K7L 4X7 Tel: 613. 546.1181 Fax: 613. 542.1463 www.utilitieskingston.com
For NPS 12 diameter pipe:
5171= 2 x S x 6.4 x 10 3 x 0.8 x 0.55 x 1.00 x 1.00 323.9 S = 5171 17.388 Grade: S = 297.54 Therefore the 12 dia pipe must be grade 359 (Z245.1-02 Table 1) for class location 4 Hydrostatic Test pressure is 12.1MPa (Z245.1-02 Table 1) SMYS = 85% (Z245.1-02 Table 1)
For NPS 8 diameter pipe:
5171= 2 x S x 6.4 x 10 3 x 0.8 x 0.55 x 1.00 x 1.00 219.1 S = 5171 25.705 Grade: S = 201.2 Therefore the 8 dia pipe must be grade 241 (Z245.1-02 Table1) Hydrostatic Test pressure is 10.6MPa (Z245.1-02 Table 1) SMYS = 75% (Z245.1-02 Table 1)
For NPS 4 diameter pipe: Wall Thickness: t = Schedule 40 6.0mm (0.237)
5171= 2 x S x 6.0 x 10 3 x 0.8 x 0.55 x 1.00 x 1.00 114.3 S = 5171 46.2 Grade: S = 111.9 Therefore the 4 dia pipe must be grade 241 (Z245.1-02 Table1) Hydrostatic Test pressure is 10.6MPa (Z245.1-02 Table 1) SMYS = 75% (Z245.1-02 Table 1)
The attached tables demonstrate that these proposed grades will meet or exceed the pipe grade requirements of Enbridge Consumers and Centra (Union) Gas specifications. 13 of 35 1425445 Ontario Limited

4.0 Hoop Stress as Per Cent SMYS
The SMYS is the grade of the pipe in MPa and represents the specified minimum yield strength of the material. In order to be classified a distribution company without transmission pipelines in the system: The gas in the pipeline must be odorized. The pipeline must operate with the forces exerted on the main (hoop stress) at or below 30% of the SMYS (Z662 12.1.1, 12.1.2) To determine the hoop stress on the main same factors as used in determining the grade of the material must be known with the exceptions that: Maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) is used instead of design pressure The grade S is as determined previously The nominal wall thickness tn=t-applicable allowances Therefore: Material: Steel Wall Thickness: t = Schedule 20 6.4mm (0.250) Nominal Wall Thickness: tn=6.4mm Class Location: 4 (Z662 4.3.2.5) Design Factor: F = 0.8 (Z662 4.3.3.2) Location Factor: L = 0.50 (Z662 4.3.3.3) (class location 4) Joint Factor Seamless Pipe: J = 1.00 (Z662 4.3.3.4) Temperature Factor: T = 1.00 (Z662 4.3.3.5) MAOP 4.14 MPa=4110 kPa=600 psi For NPS 12 Pipe: Grade: S = 359 Outside Diameter: D = NPS12 323.9mm For NPS 8 Pipe: Grade: S = 241 Outside Diameter D = NPS 8 219.1mm Hoop Stress Sh=PD 2tn %SMYS %=Sh * 100 S

Using this formulae we see that:
For NPS 12 Pipe:
Sh= 4.14 MPa * 323.9mm 2 * 6.4mm
= 104.7 MPa
%SMYS= 104.7 MPa * 100 359 MPa
= 29%
For NPS 8 Pipe:
Sh= 4.14 MPa * 219.1mm 2 * 6.4mm
= 70.8 MPa
%SMYS= 70.8 MPa * 100 241 MPa
= 29% For NPS 4 Pipe:
Sh= 4.14 MPa * 114.3mm 2 * 6.0mm
= 39.4 MPa
%SMYS= 39.4 MPa * 100 241 MPa
= 16%

5.0 Coating Requirements To avoid multiple tendering procedures and deliveries to alternative locations, we have decided that the most efficient method of procurement would be to solicate for the supply and delivery of a completed product. That is to tender for coated pipe rather than purchase pipe and have it shipped to another vendor for coating. Because of the nature of this project and the expected lifetime of the pipeline an external coating that provides high cathodic insulation as well as strong protection against damage from construction activities will be required. For this reasoning industry tends to lean towards plural component spray applied coatings. Rather than specify to the n th degree the composition and procedure for applying such a coating the specification need only quote the CSA standard that controls such processes CAN/CSA Z245.20-02. 18 of 35 1425445 Ontario Limited 211 Counter Street P.O.

Utilities Kingston HP Pipeline Reinforcement Project
Design and Pipe Specification Review
A review of the Pipe Specifications for Use in Utilities Kingston High Pressure Gas Main Reinforcement Project document as prepared by Dale Sopha and received on Nov 11/04, was completed. The following are my comments and recommendations;
1.0 Network Simulation The purpose of the proposed H.P pipeline from the TCPL/City Gate to Counter Street and south to Queens University, is to provide backup to the existing distribution system in the event of a failure and provide natural gas pressure and volume requirements for the planned cogeneration facility at the Queens University CHP. The distribution system load is based on a peak hourly requirement of 2150 Mcf and the Queens University CHP requirement of 334Mcfh at a required delivery pressure of 400 psig. Additional demand due to growth is also anticipated. The network simulation was based on these parameters and a maximum pressure availability at City Gate of 600 psig. The results indicated that an NPS 8 pipeline would not provide room for expansion, but a combination of NPS10 from City Gate operating at 500 psig to Counter St and NPS 8 for the pipeline section from Counter St. to Queens CHP, would be sufficient to meet pressure and volume requirements.
2.0 Pipe Size Selection The considerations as outlined in the Utilities Kingston document, regarding the concerns for specifying NPS 10 for this project are appropriate. NPS 10 is not a conventional size for transmission or distribution gas pipelines. Valves and repair fittings- as noted in the document- are available, but as demand is low, delivery time is longer and only marginal (10-15%) savings, if any, over NPS12 fittings are offered. To quantify the differences in pipe cost, Table1- Attachment 1- presents a comparison of pipe cost by diameter and grade, based on estimates provided by Camrose Pipe Company. The comparison indicates that NPS 10 Grade 290 with a pipe 9.3 mm wall which would be the likely pipe specification if it were used in the HP pipeline design (over 550 psig)- is be more expensive than NPS 12 Grade 290 or 359. Therefore there is a cost disadvantage in this case. Most important, however is that the selected pipe size should not contribute to compromising the ability of utility personnel to respond to repairs in the event of an emergency. If NPS 10 is not a common pipe size in the present distribution system, specialized tapping and stopping equipment would be required which would add to expense and inventory. This issue is of particular importance, since as noted in the document, Enbridge crews- who are not equipped for NPS 10 work- often assist Utilities Kingston with this type of maintenance and repair work. 21 of 35 1425445 Ontario Limited
Therefore, the selection of NPS 12 for the City Gate to Counter Street section, and NPS 8 for the remaining portion of the pipeline, is appropriate as proposed.
3.0 & 4.0 Pipe Grade Selection and Hoop Stress The factors identified to calculate grade of pipe and hoop stress levels for the proposed HP pipeline conform with CSA Z 662-03 Oil and Gas Pipeline Systems standard. The following observations regarding the determination of the design factors are offered;
Class Location Class location 4 is appropriate in view of the expected development along the pipeline route. A case could be made for Class 3 along the northern section of the NPS 12 pipeline route, however it would not materially effect the design selection of pipe and fittings.
Railway Crossings Any railway crossings should be identified along the pipeline route. Method of crossing should be determined (cased or uncased) and pipeline design and pipe grade confirmed compliant with Sec 4.8.3 and Table 4.10 & 4.11 of Z662-03.
Pipe Wall Thickness As stated in the document, the pipe wall thickness 0.250 inches (6.4mm) was selected since it is typical of the pipes in the Utilities Kingston distribution system. While the selection based on past practices may prove to be appropriate, other standard wall thickness corresponding to alternative pipe grades should also be evaluated. This will determine the most practical and economic design that conforms with distribution pipeline standards and addresses the conditions under which the pipeline is operating. For example, some utilities will specify additional wall thickness as an allowance for corrosion for pipelines operating in urban or built up areas that are intended to operate at greater than 275 psig (1900kPa). This may be an allowance that should be considered if history of corrosion or excavation damages on the distribution system warrant.
MOP Selection The reference to Z662 Sec 10.11.4.4 as the basis for deriving the MOP applies to upgrading of existing systems where pressure testing is not practical. In the case of the proposed HP pipeline hydrostatic testing will be done to 1.4 times the design pressure of the pipeline. The Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure of the pipeline is intended to be the inlet pressure at the TCPL/City gate. This is 600 psig. (4140 kPa)- which will be the design pressure. The Normal Operating Pressure of the HP pipeline is 450psig (3100 kPa).
22 of 35 1425445 Ontario Limited
Pipe Grade Selection Calculations Based on the MAOP design of 600psig (4140 kPa) that will allow Utilities Kingston to operate the HP pipeline at that pressure in the future and conform with the distribution pipeline design limit of 30% SMYS, calculations were performed to verify the recommended pipe grades. Attachment 2 Pipe Grade Selection Calculations, provides the detail. As an alternative to the 600 psig MAOP design, a 550 psig (3800 kPa) design was also evaluated for the specified pipe grades to determine if any economic advantages could be gained by adopting this more conventional design for HP urban pipelines. The following Table summarizes the results;
5.0 Coating Requirements The proposal to tender for coated pipe to comply with CSA Z 245.20 20 is appropriate.
6.0 Material Specifications The results of the Pipe Grade Selection calculations confirm that: For 4140 kPa design pressure; Grade 359 NPS 12 pipe x 6.4 mm wall is appropriate Grade 241 NPS 8 pipe x 6.4 mm wall is appropriate For 3800 kPa design pressure; Grade 290 NPS 12 pipe x 7.1 mm wall and Grade 359 NPS pipe x 6.4mm, meet requirements. Grade 290 NPS 8 pipe x 4.8 mm or 6.4mm wall, meet requirements.
The 3800 kPa design provides more flexibility in specifying the pipe material and therefore the opportunity to obtain competitive quotes for pipe supply should be exercised.
All fittings should be minimum Grade 241, Category 1.
Pipeline coating specified as Fusion Bonded, Epoxy Coated in compliance with CSA Z 245.20 is appropriate. 23 of 35 1425445 Ontario Limited
Recommendations
The following are recommendations regarding the HP pipeline design specifications:
A design based on NPS 10 should be rejected and NPS 12 selected.
The NPS 12 specifications should be based on a Grade 369 and 6.4 mm wall pipe, unless history of corrosion and excavation damage warrants increasing the wall to 7.1mm.
Utilities Kingston should decide if the 600 psig (4140kPa) MAOP is critical to future operation of the HP pipeline or if 550 MAOP (3800kPa) is acceptable to meet future requirements.
If 600 MAOP is required (or can in fact be delivered at Counter St) the NPS 8 specification should be Grade 241 and a 6.4mm wall pipe.
If 550 MAOP is acceptable, the NPS 8 specification Grade 290 and a 4.8mm wall pipe is recommended. This will result in a saving of approximately $120,000 for the NPS 8 HP pipeline section based on comparative pipe costs for Grade 214 specified and Grade 290 recommended. (ref. Attachment 1).
Once final route selection is completed, pipe specifications for railway and road crossings should be verified.

From: Phippen, Chris Sent: Wednesday, November 24, 2004 2:28 PM To: Sopha, Dale Subject: RE: Dale, The cost savings that we could expect, as well as the understanding that our existing 8" HP line has a 4.8mm wall thickness (in effect standardizing for this size), would have me agree with you on this selection. Does the 6.4mm wall on the 12" transition to the 4.8mm wall on the 8" present any difficulties? (I can't imagine it would).
This is in regards to a review done by Mark Wolnick, he is a consultant we have retained to provide peer review and comments on the key issues we may have in the design of our HP Pipeline.

From: Homer, Ray Sent: Wednesday, November 24, 2004 7:14 AM To: Sopha, Dale Subject: RE: Reads well for a technical documentwill this mean that NPS 12 Grade 290 will be used under the hwy 401 and any northern rail crossings? Can we expect this same analysis to apply should we install any future steel pipeline?

Appendix C Revised Design
.From: mark wolnik [kinlow@sympatico.ca] Sent: Sunday, November 21, 2004 9:11 AM To: Sopha, Dale Subject: Re: Utilities Kingston - HP Pipeline - Reinforcement Project Dale It probably doesn't matter if we dont do it before snow- which could be next week. So when you are ready with the route plans of the line on paper we can do a physical review to see that we have planned valves where we need them etc. So early next year is fine.

The route is finalized in my mind, did you want to look it over before snow? I will probably not have it on paper until Early next year.
From: mark wolnik [mailto:kinlow@sympatico.ca] Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2004 6:48 PM To: Sopha, Dale Subject: Re: Utilities Kingston - HP Pipeline - Reinforcement Project Dale On the assumption that we will adopt the 550 psig design , I will prepare a pipeline design spec sheet including pipe, fittings, coating and testing criteria for the pipeline and testing for the OEB Application. Once you finalize the routing of the HP pipeline it would be useful for me to do a field visit with you to review the proposed pipeline routie to see if there are any issues we have to address in the description.

This is a scenario I just never looked at. It makes perfect sense to me. We have .188 wall pipe in our HP distribution system now so it does not create any issues I can foresee. We will have one CN crossing and we are going to utilize an existing 48" tunnel that has 1-18" Watermain in it. It was approved for both when the application was made in '90. As far as designing for 600, the pressure from TCPL fluctuates enough that you are really only getting 550 on a peak day always.

From: mark wolnik [mailto:kinlow@sympatico.ca] Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2004 5:04 AM To: Sopha, Dale Subject: Utilities Kingston - HP Pipeline - Reinforcement Project Dale Attached is my review of the pipe specifications for the HP gas main reinforcement project. Please review the recommendations and lets discuss which MAOP design option is preferred . We will then prepare a summary sheet of final pipe and material specifications, design and testing requirements that will be necessary for the OEB Application.

From: mark wolnik [kinlow@sympatico.ca] Sent: Friday, November 26, 2004 8:26 AM To: Sopha, Dale Subject: Pipe Specifications Dale Attached is Pipe and Material Specification summary for the HP reinforcement gas mains as discussed . If there are other pipe diameters -ie NPS 6 or NPS 4 that will be part of the HP pipeline- we should also include those in the spec sheet that will form a part of the Application. Pls review and advise Mark
