Where Lions Roam: Engineering Gujarat's Energy Future | An EPC Project for Gujarat State Petronet

Where ancient shores meet modern ambition—witness Team Ace Pipeline's most ambitious project yet. In the heart of Gujarat's Saurashtra region, near the sacred town of Somnath and neighbouring the legendary Gir Wildlife Sanctuary, we partnered with Gujarat State Petronet Limited (GSPL) to deliver a groundbreaking 90-kilometer, 36-inch diameter natural gas pipeline connecting the Chhara LNG Terminal to Lonthpur village. This wasn't just engineering—it was a delicate balance of innovation, conservation, and community partnership. Our team navigated territory where Asiatic lions roam freely, worked alongside farmers protecting ancestral lands, and deployed revolutionary technology including the Serimax dual torch Saturnax-7 automatic welding system that reduced joint completion time from 3 hours to just 40 minutes. Project Highlights: 90km of 36-inch diameter pipeline with 19-26mm wall thickness Design pressure: 98 kg/cm² with advanced corrosion protection 1 dispatch terminal, 3 sectionalizing valve stations, 1 receiving terminal Complete SCADA integration and fiber optic communication network Completed April 2025 within schedule Our Achievements: ✓ Pioneering wildlife coexistence protocols in lion territory ✓ Revolutionary welding technology meeting GSPL's uncompromising standards ✓ Community partnership transforming resistance into cooperation ✓ Environmental stewardship setting new industry benchmarks From strategic air freight coordination to specialized black cotton soil management, every meter demanded precision, respect for nature, and genuine community engagement. This is how Ace Pipeline builds bridges—not just between terminals, but between tradition and tomorrow's energy needs.
