installation.

4.4 Existing Facilities
The new PRP platform is located between two existing gas transmission
pipelines. One is the 36-inch gas pipeline from ERP to Rayong; the other is the
24-inch gas pipeline from ERP to Khanom. For overall PRP and ERP platforms
and bridges locations, refer to Platform Location Plan Drawing S1-0404.04-
5021-009.
Saipem shall provide an up-to-date georeferenced CAD file containing the

locations of all existing subsea structures, cables, pipelines, and platforms
prior to operations.

4.5 Expected Positioning Accuracy.
Surface/Subsurface Positioning
DGPS surface position system accuracy is 2.5m
Gyro accuracy is 0.5 (including alignment calibration errors).
USBL System accuracy is 0.2% of slant range
Therefore as an example the position an ROV in 50m of water approximately

250m from the barge would produce an accuracy of 2.5m 0.5m (slope
accuracy and gyro accuracy) = positional accuracy of 3.0m
Operational and environmental conditions may increase the positional

inaccuracies.
Jacket Positioning
As described the method of positioning jackets will be by land surveying
equipment i.e. using a total station, measuring distances and bearings to pre-
installed target prisms. The Geodimeter is capable of measuring distances with a
tolerance of (from Geodimeter spec sheet)
Distance Measurement
Accuracy M.S.E
Arithmetic mean value (D-bar) : (2mm + 2ppm)(0.01ft + 2ppm)
Standard measurement (Std) : (3mm + 2ppm)(0.01ft + 2ppm)
Fast Standard (FSTD) : (8mm + 2ppm)(0.025ft + 2ppm)
Fast Tracking (TRK) : (10mm + 2ppm)(0.03ft + 2ppm)
However within this accuracy statement factors such as speed at which the
target prism is moving and the relative accuracy of the Reference Object (R.O.)
from which the bearings are referenced to should be taken into account. Thus if
we are to giver an accuracy statement for the Geodimeter jacket positioning we
should accept that the basic horizontal position would be in the order of  0.4m.

6. EQUIPMENT MOBILISATIONS
6.1 General
The Castoro 8 will be mobilised in Saipem’s Batam Yard, Indonesia with the
survey systems (DGPS, USBL, navigation display computers etc) and after
installation is completed the systems will be checked and if required calibrated.
6.2 Office Pre-Mobilisation Operations
Approximately 5 days prior to the expected mobilisation date the survey

navigation equipment to be used as outlined in Section 5 will be assembled
Fugro’s Singapore office. The equipment will be bench tested and fully prepared
prior to packing. The following tests will be carried out
 The GPS system will be set up to interrogate the satellites.
 The computer systems for both the barge and the shore office system
will be set up and loaded with the latest version software of Starfix.Seis
and confirmed that they talk to each other.
 The telemetry system will be set up and tested to ensure the computer
systems are operating correctly.
A complete manifest of all the survey equipment going on the project will be
prepared and distributed (One copy with the equipment, one copy for the party
chief and one copy for the office file). This list will be prepared by the office
store-man prior to shipment.
6.3 Office Pre-Mobilisation Briefing
The Party Chief or Senior Surveyor will be briefed by the Project Manager on the
particular aspects of the scope of work or on any specific instructions as issued
by the main contractor. Pre-mobilisation equipment test reports will be handed
over to him as well as a full list of all survey equipment to be sent to the project.
The survey procedures will be issued to the surveyor and the installation
program will be discussed. Additional project drawings, site diagrams and any
other relevant information from preceding installation works completed in the
area will also be given to the surveyor.

6.4 Castoro 8 Barge Mobilisation
The Castoro 8 barge will be mobilised in Saipem’s Base, Batam Indonesia

where the following installation operations will take place:
 The positioning and computer equipment will be set up in the winch

operators room, including the two GPS antennas and the telemetry
system antennas which will be installed on the mast.
 Two Starfix satellite communication link antennas will be installed on the

roof of the bridge and cables run.
 The gyrocompass will be installed in the winch room and secured against
a suitable bulkhead. It will be calibrated against a known baseline and
checked against the barge gyro and the repeater units in the control
tower.
 The USBL hydrophone pole, will be supplied and installed by Saipem to

the stern of the barge. The USBL control console will be set up at the
surveyor’s workstation in the control tower, the USBL hydrophone deck
cable will be run from the bridge to the hydrophone pole in a manner to
protect the cable from damage.
 The USBL responder cable will be run from the barges control tower to
the ROV shack located at the stern of the barge and connected into the
ROV system.
 Once all ROV components have been installed on board the barge the
system will fully hooked up and tested.

the barge and any other relevant PPE as required by the client safety
management plan.

6.5 Anchor Handling Vessels Mobilisation
The survey equipment for the AHV’s which form part of the barge spread will be
prepared in Fugro’s Singapore office along with the barge management
systems. It shall be installed on the AHV by Fugro personnel and is expected to
take about 6 hours to complete including testing of the systems.
Onboard the anchor handling vessel the following set-up operations will take
place:
 The positioning and computer equipment for the vessel shall be loaded
and set up on the bridge in a position acceptable to both Fugro and the
vessel captain.
 The GPS antennas and the telemetry system antennas will be installed
on the mast and the cables run to the bridge.
 A fluxgate compass will be installed in a safe secure location on the

bridge where it will be secured and will be checked against the vessel’s
own gyro.

7. SURVEY EQUIPMENT AND CALIBRATIONS
7.1 General
Below is a brief outline of the survey equipment to be used and what tests are to
be carried out during the mobilisation and field calibrations. For a more detailed
view of the equipment operation reference should be made to Fugro’s Marine
Work Practices and to the individual manufacturers operating manuals.
7.2 Surface Positioning
Primary Positioning – Starfix Spot DGPS
The Primary positioning system will be Fugro’s Starfix Spot DGPS system with
differential signals from the S.E. Asian network. Differential signals would be
broadcast to the vessels using Fugro’s new AP-SAT Wide area Spot-beam
satellite. Use of this satellite obviates the requirement for bulky Inmarsat
antennae and makes the mobile equipment highly portable.
Starfix is a multiple reference station Differential GPS (DGPS) system which

uses Spot beam satellites to broadcast differential correction data from each
reference station. A wide area solution is achieved by using multiple reference
station site pseudo range corrections (PRCs) and proprietary software called
MRDGPS to provide enhanced accuracy (typically 2.5 m horizontally during
normal atmospheric conditions) at distances up to 1,000 km from a reference
station. To provide coverage for the Southeast Asian region permanent Starfix
reference stations have been established at various locations.
The Starfix Network Control Centre (NCC) is in Perth, Western Australia. Data
from each reference station is transmitted to the NCC either directly by digital
data line or uplinked to Indonesia's Palapa satellite and then down linked to
Darwin in Australia where it is then transmitted over a digital data line to the
NCC. All stations have a back up, dial-in telephone line which can be used to
remotely configure the reference station or if necessary, to modem the data from
the station to the NCC. At the NCC, which is manned 24 hours per day, Quality
Control (QC) of the data is carried out prior to it being encoded into a proprietary
format and uplinked to the Spot beam satellites for onward relay to the end user.
Average latency of the differential corrections received by the user is typically 5
seconds or less.

Secondary Positioning - Skyfix DGPS
The secondary positioning system will be an independent Satellite based Skyfix

DGPS system. SkyFix is a fully networked wide area Differential GPS system
that employs the Inmarsat communications satellites as the link between the
reference station and the user. Data is received through a normal Standard 'A'
terminal or via a Fugro TGS supplied "receive only" terminal. The SkyFix
reference stations are sited strategically to cover the principal areas of interest
and are connected by permanent data communications links to a data hub and
control centre. For the Eastern hemisphere this control centre is situated in
Singapore.
SkyFix high powered beam system solution is based on the same reference
station as SkyFix DGPS above but the system uses the spot beams of the 109E
Inmarsat high power satellite to deliver the differential data to users in real time.
The user receives the SatFix signals using a small light weight receiver with
miniature antenna.
Each reference station is equipped with a Trimble 4000DS BoardSet GPS

receiver, PC and Trimble 4000RS software. Continuous comparison between
observed pseudo-ranges and computed pseudo-ranges (based on the known
position of the reference station antenna and ephemeris data) allows pseudo
range corrections to be generated and transmitted to the control centre in RTCM
Version 2 format via a permanent communications link. Equipment and
communications links at reference stations are duplicated and operate
independently of each other to provide 100% back up. Switching from the
primary to the back-up system can be performed remotely from the control
centre. The control centre carries out continuous quality checks on data from all
reference stations on a 24 hour basis, compiles all received corrections into a
composite message and passes this message to the Inmarsat uplink station for
transmission to the user. The quality checks include:
 Comparison of corrections from each of the two receivers at the

individual reference stations.
 Comparison of pseudo-range corrections from separate reference
stations using single differencing techniques.
 Monitoring of message latency and update rates.
The control centre in Singapore is manned 24hrs/day. Further call-out personnel

are available at each of the reference stations should there be problems with
local power or land line facilities. Pseudo-range correction messages are
broadcast over both the Indian and Pacific Ocean Inmarsat satellites for use in
Southeast Asia.

SkyFix offers the following advantages:
- The area of coverage for the data transmissions is very large (up to
the limit of applicability).
- The data has a high message integrity across the Inmarsat satellite
link.
- The high data rate of 1200 baud using the RTCM 104 protocol is
enhanced by the transmission of more than 4 stations on each link.
The accuracy of Differential GPS is generally not affected by the type of link
employed and is generally accepted to be +/- 3 metres at up to 500km from the
reference station, and in the region of +/- 5 metres at 1000km. With the use of
multi-reference station solutions, accuracies of better than +/- 5 metres can be
achieved at distances of over 1000 kilometres.
The data update rate of the SkyFix link is typically 2 to 5 seconds depending on
the number of satellites in view. The reliability of each reference station is
monitored at the control centre. The reliability figures for each station are
generally observed to be in the order of 99.97% or better.
Note Two positioning systems shall be installed to permit monitoring of the

primary and secondary navigation systems within the on-line Starfix.seis
navigation software where comparison differences in easting and northing shall
be seen. Differences of greater than 5m metres in either dN or dE shall be
reported to the contractor and investigated.
DGPS Health Check
Both the Starfix and Skyfix DGPS systems will be initially checked in the
Singapore workshop to confirm its operational status (along with the spare units)
during the preparation of the equipment. Once the system and antennas are
installed then a “Health Check” can be completed. This check is carried out while
the barge is secure alongside the wharf, observing bearings and distances from
known coordinated points located on the wharf. Fugro have established points
for such calibrations within Saipem Yard in Batam, however for Kepple Shipyard
we would have to establish stations for this health check.
As stated bearings and distances shall be measured to the DGPS antenna and
by comparing the observations with simultaneous position fixes recorded by the
STARFIX.SEIS navigation computer any differences can be observed and
reported.
Verification of the positioning systems on the barge and AHTs will be completed
before any positioning operations commence. Should a major discrepancy be
found (i.e. errors of more than ± 10m), then the source of this error shall be
investigated and resolved prior to operations beginning.

It is proposed that one of the AHTs working with the barge have its positioning
system verified in the field against an existing Erawan field structure. The AHT
working with the barge, will carry out transit fixes around a free standing single
platform with known co-ordinates. To carry out the transit fix operation a
surveyor off the barge will transfer to the AHT.
The transit fixes will enable the surveyor on the AHT to compare the position of
the centre of the existing platform as derived from the transit fix to those
supplied by the client thus ensuring the positioning system and computer system
on the AHT are operating correctly. It is then proposed that the AHT come
alongside the barge, moor up securely and using measured offsets carry out
system comparisons to confirm that their positioning systems are compatible.
Time period to do the above exercise is about 3 hours.
7.3 Starfix Navigation Computer System
Starfix is a navigation and data logging software package suite. The package is
designed to collect hydrographic information for marine applications.
The principal upgrade feature is that Starfix.Seis now uses a 3D geodesy library.
Main vessel and 9 sub vessels now take the following sensors:
- 7 Positioning Systems
- 5 Heading Sensors
- 3 Speed systems
- 2 Echo sounder channels
- 5 Motion Sensor Systems
The main vessel will also accept 2 Range/Bearing systems, 10 targets, and has
dead reckoning as an additional positioning system option. The Starfix Nav
module remains with 20 working Offset/Targets. Internal logging of PCSeis
format .RAW files and UDI .CSV files may in future be replaced with dedicated
Starfix Logging dll’s. Most configuration data can be changed without losing
position updates, although many items are not available while actually fixing (ie,
geodesy etc).
Starfix Display
Starfix Display provides graphical and textual displays to the user. These are all
highly configurable, and multiple instances can run.
Starfix Projgen
Starfix Projgen enables manipulation of project files such as run line files,
centreline files etc. Once any changes are made, the user reselects the file in
Starfix Nav for changes to become active. This only requires several mouse
clicks. Co-ordinates can be sent back and fore between Nav and Projgen using
the “send to” option. Co-ordinates can be displayed in various formats, but
written out in current format – thus if read in Grid, the file can be written back out
in Lat/Long (Local or WGS84). Tools are regularly being added to the
application.

Starfix Logging
Starfix Logging will become the focal point for logging functions. At present, the
following are available:
- Logging of messages. This permits replay of message data back into

logging or back into the system.
- DAP logging. Logging of the raw data into their own individual files, each
message with an Oistar 22 byte header. Applications exist to replay these
files back into the system via an Oistar.
- UKOAA P2/94 is expected to be completed Q3/98.
Starfix MRDGPS
Multiple instances can now be run on one machine. Multiple corrections sources
now implemented as is logging into DAP format under Starfix logging control.
Starfix QCPLot
Starfix QCPlot has many more QCPlot dlls, enabling plotting of Navigation data,
systems comparisons (Positioning, gyro, motion), Line running , depth and
streamer eta,
Starfix Wombat
Starfix.Wombat is a real-time remote AHT navigation system. The calculated
vessel position, shape and orientation is displayed on the graphics screen
relative to; the as-laid anchors and other remote AHV positions as decoded from
the STARFIX.SEIS. Co-ordinates of the vessel datum and up to four fixed offset
positions can be viewed on a graphics screen, other remote AHV positions are
displayed, as a generic shape with the associated AHV ID and anchors having
an as-laid status will have a line drawn from the Barge fairlead to the as-laid
position. Also, during anchor running operations once an anchor has been
assigned to an AHT, a runline, from the Barge fairlead to the proposed anchor
position, is displayed on the graphic screen along with off-track information.
Upon completion of installation and interfacing of the systems and sensors a fix
shall be generated and outputs to other equipment tested to confirm operational
status. A test printout (including a parameters dump) shall be made and filed in
the survey file.

7.4 Barge Gyro Compass
An SG Brown Meridian or similar type of gyroscope will be used on the barge to

provide heading information. These portable survey gyros are designed
specifically for survey type operations allowing easy interfacing to navigation
computers. These gyros have digital displays of the bearing to 0.1 of a degree.
The gyrocompass will be initially checked in the Singapore workshop against a

known heading during preparation of the equipment. Once the gyrocompass has
been securely installed then an alignment calibration can be completed.
The gyrocompass alignment will be checked by observing bearings and

distances from known co-ordinated points located within Saipem’s Base in
Batam Indonesia, where Fugro have established points for such calibrations.
During these checks any alignment corrections previously entered into the
navigation computer will be set to zero, thus allowing direct computed to
observed observations to be made.
Prior to the commencement of each new project, solar observations will be

carried out to reconfirm the gyro alignment and at any other time the gyro has
maintenance or replaced.
7.5 AHT Compass
The fluxgate compass on AHTs will be checked prior to the commencement of

any field operations. This can be accomplished by securing the vessels
alongside the barge and comparing compass readings with the barge’s
calibrated gyro. The fluxgate compass on each AHT will be monitored during the
installation works by reference to the vessels own compass. The vessel can
then be rotated 180 degrees and a reciprocal heading measured, and a
correction derived for the AHT's gyro.
The offset measurements can be accomplished either by using a tape measure

or by setting up a theodolite and EDM on the barge centreline or a known point
and measuring distance and bearing to prism reflectors at each end of the AHT's
centreline. In this way the barge's heading can be transferred to the AHT and a
correction derived for the AHT's gyro.

7.6 USBL Calibration
Prior to conducting a USBL calibration, a CTDS probe will be used to determine

the speed of sound in water. Two beacons will be lowered to a fixed depth below
the hull of the barge e.g. 15m from known measured offset points i.e. port &
starboard bow with the hydrophone permanently secured at the stern of the
barge during slack water periods with the barge secured on its anchors.
A series of ranges and bearings will be recorded by the USBL system to each
beacon over a period of approximately 15 minutes. The position of each beacon
shall be calculated and compared with the observed bearings and distances.
The difference in bearings will be assumed to be the error in transducer pole
installation, whereas any differences in the ranges will be assumed to be a
speed of sound or scaling error. These Computed to Observed (C-o) corrections
shall be entered into the Starfix.seis navigation software and a further
confirmation check carried out to confirm these corrections.
A final check once on site with the barge is set up, for example at a known
platform or wellhead location then the ROV can be launched and dive onto this
known point. A series of fixes can then betaken of the ROV position (applying
any offsets distances to the known point from the beacon) and a comparison
made with the as given position. Any errors between the two positions in excess
of the positioning system tolerances can be investigated and if necessary a new
calibration carried out.
7.7 Remote Operated Vehicle
Sonsub shall supply a standard 100hp workclass ROV (Discovery Type).

Installation checks for the whole system shall be carried out upon completion of
the mobilisation of the system, these will be as part of the standard Sonsub
operating procedures, copies of which can viewed onboard the barge.
During ROV operations where video is being recorded a video over unit will
show survey-related information at the top of the screen. An example of the type
of information to be shown would be:
Date: 22/11/02 Time: 12:23:24 Easting: 539563.7 Northing: 9887459.6

KP: 0.000 Xtrack: 1.0 Heading: 123.0 Depth: 40.5m

8. PLATFORM INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
8.1 General
Three structures are to be installed to the seafloor on the project.
- PRP an eight leg Jacket and Topside

- Pedestrian Tripod
- Flair Tripod
The first jacket to be installed will be the PRP that is closest to the existing ERP
platform.
The work will be conducted in accordance with the Fugro Survey work practices
relating to Jacket Installations and Barge Operations contained in Appendix B
(FGMA33 and FGMA34)
A Daily Report summarising the days activities will be drafted each day by the
installation barge Party Chief and will be sent to the Fugro Project Manager and
handed to Saipem representative onboard the barge (refer Fugro Survey work
practice FGMA02).
Outlined in this section is the general method to be adopted for the jackets to be
installed. Any variations to this method for the installation shall be highlighted
and confirmed on site prior to setting up. This will include confirmation of the
proposed anchor pattern, the latest revision of the intended location and
orientation and any specific details of the installation method to be adopted.
8.2 Barge and AHT Positioning
The barge will use Fugro’s Starfix Spot DGPS positioning system for primary
positioning requirements. Starfix reference stations to be used will be selected
from Singapore, Kuantan, Satun, Kota Kinabalu Miri, Subic Bay and Vung Tau
providing accurate differential corrections for work in the Erawan Field.
The anchor handling vessels will also use the DGPS system as their positioning
system. The GPS receivers on each anchor vessel will obtain their pseudo range
correction data via a data transmission link from the barge.
Secondary Positioning shall be provided by Fugro’s Skyfix DGPS system.

8.3 Anchor Handling Procedures
8.3.1 Normal Anchoring Operations
During setting up at the intended jacket location the on-shift surveyor will
maintain an anchor file within Starfix.Seis containing the current / proposed
anchor drop locations. Upon confirmation from the barge anchor foreman as to
which vessel will run what anchor, the surveyor will call up the proposed anchor,
and transmit this position to the AHT via the telemetry link.
The AHT captain will see on a monitor screen a bulls-eye target together with
information such as heading made good, required heading to target, speed, and
distance to drop. Scale on this screen will increase as the vessel closes in on
the drop point. Once an anchor is on the bottom, the captain take a fix from the
onboard navigation computer, which will automatically be telemetry back to the
barge. Alternatively he will radio to the barge “on the bottom” and the duty
surveyor will take the fix. The position will automatically be updated to the
Starfix.Seis anchor file and logged. Upon recovery of each anchor the recovery
position will be logged.
8.3.2 Parachute Buoys
Some anchor positions may involve the anchor wire crossing existing pipelines
or subsea structures, in such cases the anchor wire shall be suspended over the
line by the use of parachute buoy. The buoys shall be attached to the anchor
wire at agreed distances from the anchor drop position so that the wire is
supported above the subsea facility.
The Saipem Field Engineer shall compute the intended location for each buoy
and a distance from the anchor shall be entered into the navigation software.
The buoy position shall be shown on the on-line screen. As the barge moves
position then the buoy will be automatically updated as the anchor wire moves.
8.4 Pre-Installation ROV Inspection
After the barge is set up on its anchors at the installation site, a visual inspection
of the seabed for any hazards will be carried out using the barges ROV. The
area to be surveyed will encompass the jacket mud-mat and footprint plus a
corridor around the perimeter. The USBL acoustic positioning system installed
on the barge will be used to track the ROV during this operation.
The ROV shall use both the pan/tilt camera to review the seabed and identify
any objects or debris within the area. Additionally the ROV’s obstacle avoidance
sonar will be operated at a suitable range to check for objects outside of the
range of the camera. Should targets be observed then the ROV will head
towards the target and identify it.
ROV survey line spacing and sensor settings shall be advised by Saipem to
both Sonsub and Fugro prior to operations.

If possible the ROV shall remove any debris deemed to be hazardous to the
jackets installation. Should this not be possible then the barge shall use its
divers and crane facilities to remove such debris.
8.5 Jacket Preparation
8.5.1 Prism Positions
In order to position the jacket accurately Total Stations shall be used which will
measure to prisms mounted on the structure. Two prisms shall be installed to
allow for 100% redundancy.
The prisms shall be held on special poles (previously installed). The poles will
act as sighting points, again for use by the land survey station systems. In
addition to the prism held on the pole a metal back plate will be added to assist
with sighting of the prisms. Once installed the prisms shall be aligned in the
direction of the ERP existing Platform.
For the PRP Jacket installation two support pipes shall be installed by Saipem
close to legs A1 and A4 of the jacket structure (at an elevation accessible to
personnel), to allow direct sighting to the Total Station location on existing ERP
platform. The prisms will be attached to the support pipes once the jacket
upending operations are complete and the structure is secure alongside the
barge.
For the flair tripod structure two prisms support pipes shall be installed by
Saipem along the A-C face of the tripod (at leg A and leg C) to allow direct
sighting to the Total Station location on existing ERP platform.
For the pedestrian tripod structure two prisms support pipes shall be installed by
Saipem along the B-A face of the tripod (at leg B and leg A) to allow direct
sighting to the Total Station location on existing ERP platform.
8.5.2 Gyrocompass Installation
A gyrocompass mounting base plate will be fabricated and installed by Saipem,

the plate being aligned with the main structures centreline. Boltholes will be
drilled into the plate in-line with the structures centre line. The holes will be
measured in to align with the Gyrocompass’s feet, the gyro being bolted onto the
mounting plate once the jacket has been upended and is secure alongside the
barge. It should be noted that a trailing wire will run from the gyro (data and
power lines) to the barges winch tower.
For the BSP Jacket the gyrocompass base plate shall be installed by Saipem on
the Leg B1 to B2 cross member brace (at an elevation accessible to personnel)
in order to allow closer access to the installation barge.
8.6 Establishing Survey Control on the ERP Platform

For each jacket installation two Geodimeter Total Station survey instruments
shall be setup on one of the decks of the ERP platform if possible on the deck
from which the connecting bridge will be set.
Two stations will be measured in using Saipem supplied As-built engineering

drawings. These survey control stations should have a good line of site to the
intended PRP jacket location and both tripod headings during the initial lifting
and positioning. Having established these two stations and measured them in a
calculated set of co-ordinates shall be produced and entered into the barge
navigation Starfix.sies software. The Total Stations can then beset on these two
points.
The tripods shall be set over the station using a plumb bob. The Total Station is
then fitted onto the tripod and the optical plumb used to locate the instrument
over the station. If both stations are visible to each other then each station shall
be used as the Reference Object for the other station, having set the RO and
entered this into the Total Station, bearings observed from the station shall relate
to true north.
8.7 Jacket Positioning
8.7.1 Positioning
Once the prisms and gyro are installed then the surveyors can begin the
process of positioning the jacket.
The barge will be positioned at an agreed location and heading and the process
of lifting and upending of each jacket shall commence. The target location for
the jacket shall be shown on the screen as well as the main crane preferred
lifting point.
With the jacket located under the derrick and suspended just above the seabed,
a surveyor at each of the Total Station instruments will observe distance and
angle measurements to the prisms on the jacket.
The observed data will be telemetry to the barge and interfaced into the
Starfix.seis computer. The range and bearing is then translated into an easting /
northing for the prism position and finally shown on the navigation display in
relationship to the intended jacket location.

The orientation of the jacket will be derived from the jacket mounted gyro and
will be ‘added’ to the position data in order to show the exact relationship of the
structure with respect to the proposed design installation location.
Changes to the lifting point and thus the jacket position will be monitored by the
total station observations. The barge and crane positions will, if necessary, be
adjusted by reference to the navigation screen showing the ‘real’ and intended
jacket positions, until such time as the jacket is within the client specifications.
Once this position has been achieved and only when the Saipem
representatives have given their approval shall the jacket be finally seated on
the seabed.
With the jacket seated on the seabed, a provisional position and orientation
Field Report shall be issued.

8.7.2 As-built Jacket Position
The As-built survey of the jacket will include observations to determine the final
position, orientation, elevation and level of the jacket after piling operations have
been completed.
The final position of the jacket shall be determined by final measurements taken
by the total stations on the ERP platform with ranges and bearings observed to
the prisms on the jacket.
The orientation of the jacket shall be confirmed by a final set of observations

from the installed gyrocompass before it is removed.
8.8 Jacket Levelling
The levelling instrument will be first checked onboard the barge or ERP Platform
before use. When the jacket has been set on the seabed the relative elevation
of each corner will be observed by using a level and staff. Where possible equal
backsights and foresights will be adopted in levelling the jacket legs. The
process of levelling will be repeated periodically throughout the piling of the
jacket.
8.9 Jacket Elevation
Elevation of the each new jacket shall be determined by transferring the

Elevation from a known Chart Datum point on the existing ERP Platform. The
elevation transfer shall be carried out with Level instruments using the reciprocal
method.
PRP
Existing
ERP
Average difference of near and far level staff readings from each station.

8.10 Determine of Pile or Leg Cut-off Points
The following procedure summarises the steps to be followed to determine the

level of the pile cut-off points.
1. From the engineering drawings, and the As-built elevation survey, pre-
calculate the design vertical distance from the top of the Elevation reference
point to the design pile or leg cut-off low point for each leg. Calculate the
vertical separation between the low points and the 45° points to allow
measuring points to be marked on the piles. A report including sketches,
calculations, and procedures to be submitted to the Field Engineer for
approval.
2. Check the final jacket level upon 50% completion of the welding of the shim
plates.
3. Level observations are to be taken from the upper brace of the jacket at 8
places as close as possible to the jacket legs (2 observations at each corner,
one at each side of the leg). The mean of the two levels is the final level of
each corner of the jacket.
4. Mark the vertical line through the batter low point using a spirit level and long
steel rule.
5. Mark the pile cut-off low points at each leg.
6. Accurately measure between the marked points between adjacent legs and
across the diagonals.
7. Compare the measured results with the design distances at the level for each
measurement. Submit a measurement summary to the Field Engineer for
examination.
8. The Field Engineers will then decide whether to vary and by how much to
vary the design vertical distance (for cut-off) to allow for jacket fabrication
errors. If a variation is required repeat steps 5 to 8.
9. Surveyors to recheck final marks.
10. Welder Foreman or others to independently verify level agreement between
the marks using a water level.

8.10.1 Transition Cut Off
The following procedure summarises the steps to be followed to determine the

level of the Transition cut-off points.
1. From the engineering drawings, and the As-built elevation survey, pre-
calculate the design vertical distance from the elevation reference point to the
design Transition cut-off elevation.
2. Observe a level staff reading on the Chart Datum elevation reference point to
determine the elevation of the level instruments line of sight.
3. Mark the Transition piece using the level instrument line of sight. Measure up
or down from the line of site mark using a steel tape measure to mark the
required elevation cut-off points at each leg.
4. Surveyors to recheck final marks are all at the same elevation.
5. Welder Foreman or others to independently verify level agreement between
the marks using a water level.

8.11 Deck and Bridge Module Installation
During installation of the deck modules the survey requirements will be initially
limited to the anchoring up of the barge, ensuring that both the pipelines and
structures within the area are clearly displayed on the navigation screens and that
all anchor movements are logged.
The barge’s position shall be displayed at all times and monitored by the surveyors
in case of anchor drag or general barge movement during the installation period.
The cargo barge shall be set on the side of the installation barge. The
installation barge shall be positioned with the pre-installed jacket on the opposite
side. A revised anchor pattern may be required for this operation.
The topside deck and bridge modules will be lifted off the cargo barge and
swung to the pre-installed jacket.
Once the deck modules are installed the surveyors will monitor the installation
levels for each module. They will use a level instrument and survey staff to
confirm these levels, with information being passed to the Saipem Field
Engineers.
8.11.1 Bridge Landing stage Survey
Prior to the bridge section being installed the surveyors are required to carry out
a survey confirming the relationship between the two landing stages on each
structure. The purpose of this is to determine if the bridge ‘landing stages’ are
inline and parallel to each other. This information will be used to confirm the final
position and orientation the bridge bearing beams which have to be installed.
Survey of the bridge sections can be surveyed in a similar manner as follows:
Pedestrian Bridge
From the ERP landing stage (fixed end of bridge) and using the Total Station set
up on that location, distances and bearing shall be observed to agreed points on
the Landing stage (sliding end) on the PRP jacket. From these measurements
the relationship of the PRP end landing points can be determined.
Flair Bridge
A similar type survey for the flair bridge section (as for the PRP bridge landing
areas) shall also be completed. The Total Station may be set up on the PRP
Jacket itself at the landing point and bearings and distances taken across to the
flair bridge landing stage in order to determine if the two areas are in sympathy
with each other.
Having confirmed the relationship between each landing stages for both bridges
then the Field Engineers can ‘set’ the Box steel sections (onto which the bridge
sits).

A field report will be prepared covering the above surveys and issued to the
Saipem Field Engineers.
8.12 As-Built Survey
Once the deck sections have been set and all welding piling works completed
then a final As-built survey of each platform will be completed to determine the
final position, orientation, elevation and level of the platform decks.
8.12.1 Position and Orientation
The position of the jacket shall be determined from final measurements taken by
the Total Stations on the ERP Platform as previously described.
In addition and if required a DGPS Tug Management system can be installed on

to the structure and observations made to give a full DGPS position for center of
the structure.
The DGPS receiver antenna shall be located on an approved location e.g. over
one of the deck legs. Positional data shall be logged over an agreed period of
time (6 hours split into 3 sessions each 15 minutes long). Where possible a
minimum of six satellites shall be included in the computation, with only positions
logged with a PDOP of less than 3, which will be logged by the Barge
Management System. The mean position shall be calculated and presented to
the client in the form of a field report.
The orientation of the structure shall be determined by the gyro readings taken
at the jacket installation stage. However if required the orientation of the
structure can be determined by setting up a theodolite over a point on the upper
deck and referenced on an object (R.O.) which is parallel to the structures
centre line. An angle between the R.O. and sun will be measured by theodolite.
The sun's true bearing will be determined by timed azimuth and values taken
from SALS. The measured angle between sun and R.O. will be applied to the
true bearing of the sun to give the true heading of the structure.
8.12.2 Final Deck Levelling
An As-built elevation survey shall incorporate level observations made on the top
deck of the platform. Elevations of each deck will be related to the top of the
jacket by vertical measurements using a steel tape.
A standard land surveyor’s level and staff is used with measurements made to
agreed points on each deck level. Relative differences are observed and related
to the adopted level for the structure.

9. REPORTING
9.1 Provisional Reports
Following the completion of different survey operations the party chief will
prepare a field report detailing the results of the survey operation. Copies of the
field report will be issued to the barge superintendent and to the Company
representative. They will be included in the final installation report.
