Depending on present and future weather forecasts the Vessel Master and Offshore
Manager, after discussion with the Client’s Rep, may decide to take the opportunity to
wet store the spools as close to their final location as possible.
OM must take into account seabed conditions prior to wet storing as future retrieval
may be difficult in the silty seabed conditions.

2. Set the vessel up next to the proposed wet storage locations. VM/DPO
Wet Store Location to be fully agreed between OM, VM and
Customer representative. The logistics of installation has to be
finally determined, therefore it is critical that all the spools are
properly Identified and marker for future retrieval
Note : The wet storage location will be as near to the final spool
locations as is possible.
Safety Note: The spools are being delivered on a supply boat /
barge, it is critical that their position on the barge is pre-
agreed prior to mobilisation to ensure the vessel crane can
lift and shift offshore.
3. Deploy the ROV or divers to survey the proposed wet storage location. RS/SR/
ROV is to confirm there is a level seabed with no debris or boulders that DS/DI
could damage the spool. If necessary relocate to a more suitable
location.
4. The spool lift rigging will be checked for damage. Check the swivel DF/PE
flanges are free to rotate.
Note: Flange grooves will have been checked prior to mob.
5. Confirm all bolt holes have been numbered on one mating flange. PE
6. Attach an 8kg aluminium buoy to the lift rigging master link to aid PE / DF
recovery. Paint the spool no. on the buoy. Confirm the spool has been
marked with its ident no. and orientation.

9. Confirm all bolt holes have been numbered on one mating flange. PE
10. Attach an 8kg aluminium buoy to the lift rigging master link to aid DF
recovery. Paint the spool no. on the buoy. Confirm the spool has been
marked with its ident no. and orientation.
11. Deck Crew Pre-fit any airbags to the spool using cargo straps or PE/DF
polyprop.
Refer to rigging drawings noted in the table above.
12. Fit weighted tag lines and light sticks to the spool. Attach holdback lines DF
as required to stabilise the spool during its deployment.
13. Safety Note: The Offshore Manager and Vessel Master will OM/VM
confirm the seastate is acceptable for spool deployment and that
there is a suitable weather window
14. Attach the vessel crane to the lift rigging and take up the slack with the DF/SR
crane hook plumbed over the spool COG mark on the deck. A
transponder beacon and strobe light will be fitted just above the crane
hook so the spool can be positioned.
17. Under the direction of the Deck Foremen the vessel will lift the spool out DF
of its seafastenings with the Deck Crew controlling the swing of the spool
using holdbacks and tag lines.
18. When the spool is high enough off the deck position the spool outboard DF/RS
and deploy subsea. ROV is to monitor the descent.
Safety Note: Spools are to be deployed a min of 30m clear of any
subsea structures.
19. Lower the spool to 10m off the seabed and stop decent. Deploy the DS/DI
divers to the spool who will take control of the taglines.
Safety Note: If due to the current the spool is rotating subsea,
decision may be made to land the spool on the
seabed without the divers.
20. Using vessel/crane movements the divers will manoeuvre the spools DS/
towards the tie-in flanges. Refer to sketch nos. 60108130-ABZ-0009-S DPO
and 0010-S for typical spool installation procedure.

41. Divers will commence inflating the pre-fitted airbags located along the DS/DI
spool (if required). Refer to the relevant lift rigging drawing for actual
locations.
Safety Note: Airbag dump lines must always be held back to a
suitable structure or clump weight.
42. Using the cross-haul rigging (Tirfors, lever hoists and lacing wires) align DS/DI
the flange faces until the flange faces are approx. 300mm apart.
QA Note: Remember a video of the flange grooves must be
taken before gap is too small .
43. Once alignment of the flanges has been achieved remove the wooden DS/DI
flange face protectors. Insert the 2 no. podgers and gasket insertion tool
(use the swivel flange lever arm to align bolt holes). Leave a 4” x 2”
timber in place in case the flanges come together.
For 16” Class 900 Flange – utilise a 40mm dia. Podger bar
For 8” Class 1200 Flange – Utilise a 50mm dia. Podger Bar
44. If required divers may install 2 no. studbolts and use 2 no. Bolt DS/DI
Tensioning jacks to pull the flanges together rather than flogging the
studbolts.
16” Class 900 Flanges Utilise 20no. M42 Studbolts
8” Class 2500 Flanges Utilise 12no. M52 Studbolts
45. Continue to draw the flange faces together. Ensure flanges remain DS/DI
aligned using a Vernier gauge (check flange gaps at the 4 Cardinal
points).
46. Draw flange faces together until they are approximately 100mm apart. DS/DI
Install a fluorescence dye stick into the spool.
Note : Leave the dye stick on the surface until it is needed.

48. When 50mm apart install the studbolts (staggered for 100% DS/DI
tensioning) and gasket and use flogging spanners to draw the flanges
together evenly. Continually measure the flange gaps to ensure an even
gap until the gasket is held within the groove.
Note : A gasket insertion tool or a length of cat gut can be used
to hold the gasket in place until nipped in the groove.
49. Remove the podger bars and gasket insertion tool allowing the remaining DS/DI
studbolts to be installed.
51. Deploy a 5te clump weight with hold back rigging attached as required to DS/DI/
aid the cross-hauling of the spool into alignment. DF
52. Divers to remove flange face protectors and carry out a full visual DS / DI /
inspection of the flange face. PE
This inspection is to be recorded on a separate video – fully
describing the flange, its location, its ID and its condition.
PE / DS to fill out a flange face inspection sheet – Ref. Attached
sketches
53. Divers to commence installation of bolts around flange, starting at 6 DS / DI
O’Clock, and with the aid of the gasket alignment tool – install the gasket
into its groove.
54. Divers to install remaining studbolts and tighten using flogging spanners DS / DI
For 8” Spools –
There are 12no. sets of M52 dia. Studbolts
use 80mm A/F Spanner
For 16” Spools -
There are 20no. Sets of M42 dia. Studbolts Required
Use 65mm A/F spanner
2. If required divers may use 2 no. Hydratight jacks to further align the DS/DI
flanges rather than flogging the studbolts.
3. Install the tensioning tools on the studs and check that there is no DS/DI
sand/grit caught between the flange faces. Ref. WP-UK-201-01
(hydratight jacks) Bolt Tensioning operational Procedure.
4. Divers are to carry out bolt tensioning operations as per Stolt Offshore DS/DI
Procedures ref: WP-UK-201-01 (hydratight jacks).
5. The pressures and tensions to be used on each flange for Hydratight DS/DI
tools are given in the data sheets provided in Appendix 2.
QA Note: The DS will complete these data sheets during the
tensioning of the flanges.
6. Once tensioning is complete all flanges are to be wrapped in cling film or DS/DI
plastic.
10. Repeat the above steps for the next 5no. sets of spool alignment and tie- INFO
in operations.
