SNGPL is tendering two HDD gas pipeline crossings (12-inch diameter) in remote KPK locations.
This is specialized work requiring proven HDD experience with 12"+ pipelines in the last five years; contractors without such portfolio will not qualify. The scope spans design, construction, testing and commissioning of underground crossings at two separate canal/nullah sites.

Who can bid: Bidders typically must hold PEC registration (category A or B for pipeline construction), valid gas utility contractor license, NTN with FBR, and SECP company registration. Prior demonstrated experience with HDD pipeline crossings of 12 inches or larger within five years is explicit. HSE compliance statement and integrity pact signature are required.
