1.0 SCOPE

The scope of this specification is to define the requirement for a system of

navigational aids and associated equipment to be mounted on offshore process
and well platforms. The equipment described herein, when installed in
accordance with vendor’s instructions shall form an integrated Navigational
Aid System and provide adequate and complete safeguards to all vessels
navigating in the vicinity of installation.

2.0 CODES AND STANDARDS

2.1 All applicable standards and maintenance regulations, such as those published
by the International Association of Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) and the
supplied equipment shall meet local laws.

2.2 Apart from “IALA”, codes / standards specified in design criteria form a part
of this specification.

3.0 SCOPE OF SUPPLY

3.1 The scope of supply through, this speciation shall include, but not limited to
the following:

(1) Obstruction / Warning devices incorporating obstruction lights.

(2) Junction Boxes and Nickel / Chromium plated brass double compression
type cable glands and tinned copper lugs as required.

3.2 Nav aid system cables shall be fire resistant type as per electrical design
criteria.

4.0 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

The obstruction lights and junction boxes shall be suitable for Class I, Division
I, Group D Hazardous area. The surface temperature of these equipment shall
be limited to 2000C, T3 class maximum and shall be certified by UL or any
other equivalent testing authority from the country of origin for use in this area.

The obstruction lights shall be placed in such a way to ensure that at least one
light is visible upon approaching the structure from any direction. However
minimum one light shall be provided on each corner of the platform. Bridge
shall be provided with two obstruction lights to cater to vessels approaching
from opposite sides. Flare jacket shall also be provided with one obstruction
light.

The lights shall have a range of at least 10 Nautical miles 360 degree circuit.
All the lights on the platform, the interconnecting bridges shall be
synchronized to flash the Morse letter “U” in unison at an interval of 15
seconds. The flash cycle shall be as given below:

0.4 Sec. - ON

0.5 Sec. - OFF

0.4 Sec. - ON

0.5 Sec. - OFF

1.2 Sec. - ON

12 Sec. - OFF

In case of conventional lanterns, each light shall be equipped with six-place

automatic lamp changer, however this is not required in case of LED lanterns.
The lanterns shall be controlled by sun switch mounted inside the lantern.
Lights shall be designed to flash continuously in the event of failure of sun
switches and shall burn steadily if the polarity is accidentally reversed during
hook-up / rewiring. In the event of failure of one or more lights, continued
operation of remaining lights with specified flash code shall be strictly
maintained. For this, each flashing units shall be provided with a flasher and
automatic synchronization feature. The lights shall operate satisfactorily for
voltage variation of + 5% at the base of lamp changer / flasher assembly
without any loss in performance or range. For well platform, system voltage
shall be 12/24 V DC. For process platform, the system voltage shall be
12VDC/24VDC/110 VDC. The lanterns shall be rated IP 56 minimum. Heat
shields shall be provided on the lights located close to heat producing sources,
e.g. Flare etc.

4.2 The load requirement per day shall be determined considering the following:

a. Obstruction lights operating for 14 hrs a day

b. Actual time of current drain shall be considered to achieve the Morse

Code “U”

c. Any surge factor for obstruction lights.

5.0 TESTING AND INSPECTION

All tests shall be carried out as per relevant standards at Vendor’s works.

Company reserves the right to witness all tests and carry out inspection or
authorize his representative to witness tests and carry out inspection. For this
purpose, vendor shall notify the company at least 20 days in advance giving
exact details of tests, dates and addresses of location where the tests would be
carried out.

6.0 SPARES

6.1 Vendor shall recommend and provide spare parts needed for startup. In
addition vendor shall furnish a separate price list of recommended spares for
one (1) year of normal operation and maintenance. Recommended spares shall
take into account the related factors of equipment reliability, effect of
downtime upon production, safety, cost of parts and the availability of
equipment service facility.

7.0 WARRANTY

Vendor shall have final and total responsibility for the design and performance
of all equipment supplied under this specification. Warranty/Guarantee shall be as
covered in Vol-I of Bid documents.

8.0 VENDOR DATA REQUIREMENT
