unit strength as that specified for the lower strength steel and shall develop values of ductility and
impact properties, as a minimum, equal to the lower value of those specified for the grade of steel being
joined.
Weld Repairs
All unacceptable welds shall be reported. The Contractor shall repair or replace all welds that do not
meet the requirements of the appropriate codes and standards and this specification.
Removal of defects and deposition of repair welds shall be in accordance with an approved WPS. When
a WPS qualified for the original weld is used to cover repairs, pre-heat shall be increased 50°C above
that qualified. Removal of defective weld metal or portions of the base metal shall be done by
machining, grinding, chipping, arc-air gouging and any other method, which produces a clean,
uncontaminated surface. Oxygen-acetylene gouging shall not be accepted. Prior to arc-air gouging,
Page 13 of 26
Spec 001 Welding and Fabrication of Structural Steel
Rev: B (June 2015)
preheat shall be applied, whereby the repair area shall be preheated as per applicable WPS used to
perform repair welding.
All arc-air gouges shall be ground to bright metal to remove residual carbon. The defect and 25mm of
sound metal beyond each end of the defect shall be removed. Each excavation shall be subject to 100%
Visual Inspection and 100% MPI (dry powder method may be accepted) to ensure complete removal
of the defect.
All repair welds shall be re-examined in accordance with Chapter 6 of this specification.
Tubular connections
When two or more tubulars join in an X-joint, the large diameter member shall continue through the
joint, and the other shall frame onto the through member and be considered the minor member. Unless
specified otherwise on the drawings, when two or more minor members intersect or overlap at a joint,
the order in which each member frames into the joint will be determined by wall thickness and/or
diameter. The member with the thickest wall will be the continuous or through member, and the
sequence for framing the remaining members shall be based on the order of decreasing wall thickness.
Should two or more members have the same wall thickness, the larger diameter member shall always
be the continuous or through member.
Pad Eyes
Direction of force on pad eyes shall be essentially in line with the rolling direction of the steel plate.
Direction of rolling of the steel plate with respect to cutting of the pad eye shall require verification of
the steel nesting plan, and shall be documented in the as-built files. Contractor shall drill and ream all
pad eye pin holes after welding of cheek plates. Splices in any pad eye plate shall not be accepted.
Splices
Structural members may be spliced for economic use of material, within the specified requirements and
to be agreed with and approved by Contractor. Any splices shall develop the full strength and cross
section of the member joined.
Welded joints of axially aligned structural members of different material size; thickness, diameters or
widths shall be made in such a manner that the slope through the transition zone does not exceed 1:4,
unless noted otherwise. The transition shall be accomplished by chamfering the thicker part, , sloping
the weld metal, or by combination of these. The locations of all splices shall be in accordance with the
requirements as specified in §5.4.1 and §5.4.2.
Page 14 of 26
Spec 001 Welding and Fabrication of Structural Steel
Rev: B (June 2015)
Splices shall not be located closer together than twice the depth of the beam, or 1000 mm whichever is
smaller. Other splice locations may be used subject to approval by Contractor. There shall not be more
than two splices in any 3000 mm interval of structural shape. In cantilever beams, there shall be no
splice located closer to the point of support than one-half of the cantilevered length. For beams in any
span between supports, there shall be no splice in the middle one-fourth of any span, nor in the eighth
of the span nearest any support, nor over any support. The location of all splices in critical members is
subject to the approval of Contractor. Splicing in beams and shapes shall not be allowed underneath
bearing-pads.
Reference temperature for survey activities shall be room temperature. The allowable tolerances given
for individual members shall not cumulate to give unacceptable deviation for the finished section or
complete structure, i.e. chain dimensions shall be avoided.
If tolerances given for individual sections and components are conflicting, those tolerances representing
the stricter values shall be governing. If no appropriate tolerance is specified, the tolerance requirements
shall be agreed.
In assembling and joining parts of a structure or of built-up members and in welding reinforcing parts
to members, the procedure and sequence (e.g. step back technique in root) shall be as such to minimize
distortion and shrinkage. As far as practicable, all welds shall be made in a sequence that will balance
the applied heat during welding. Dimensional tolerances of built-up members, including deviation from
straightness and deviation from specified camber, shall conform to the requirements of ISO 13920
(tolerance class as specified on drawing) and NORSOK M-101 Edition 5, October 2011 Annex E.

Contractor shall have unlimited access and the right to inspect the material, fabrication and erection of
all items covered by the contract. Subcontractor shall ascertain that all welding is performed in
accordance with this specification and any written addenda approved by Contractor.
Final inspection and NDT of structural steel welds shall be carried not earlier than 24 hours after
completion. For Type X and XI steels, the NDT delay time shall be 48 hours minimum. Final inspection,
including NDT, on welds subject to PWHT may be performed when all heat treatment have been
completed.
In the case of welds whose inspection is critical to the fabrication schedule, exceptions to the 24 hour
wait may be made on a case-by-case basis. This shall not be possible for materials having a minimum
specified yield strength exceeding 460 MPa.
