8.3
Concrete Application

8.3.1
Equipment

Concrete coating shall be applied to pipe by using impingement or wrap-on

method. The casting method shall not be used. The method shall ensure the

basic characteristics of concrete in compliance with the specified requirement.

The mechanical equipment used for performing the concrete coating shall be

capable of doing so with a required degree of uniformity with respect to

thickness, density and strength. The proportioning equipment and procedure

shall ensure consistently proportioned materials by weight and thorough mixing

of all materials.

Equipment shall have either the batching of materials by weight or continuous

mixing, where all feeds are accurately controlled and percentages of mixer

calibrated by weight. Batching scales/weighing devices shall have 0.5%

accuracy. Proportioning equipment shall be calibrated in the presence of

COMPANY’s representative. Any equipment that tends to separate the

ingredients shall not be used.

All coating machinery and pipe moving wheels or rollers shall be equipped with

rubber or hard fiber wheels. Knurled steel or other type wheels, capable of

marking or indenting the pipe or coating shall be prohibited.

8.3.2
Concrete Mixing

The calibration of the weighing devices and the water meter shall be checked at

the beginning of each shift work. The moisture content of the aggregates used

shall be such as to maintain a satisfactory control on the water/cement ratio of

the concrete mix.

8.3.3
Concrete Placing

Concrete shall be placed within 30 minutes from the time of mixing and shall be

handled in such a way to prevent aggregate segregation and excessive moisture

loss. Concrete containers shall always be kept clean and free from hardened or

partially hardened concrete.

No concrete shall be applied if the surrounding temperature at the curing period

the temperature goes below 5 °C.

Placement of concrete shall be up to the specified thickness in continuous pass,

allowance being made for splices of reinforcement and providing reinforcement

in the right location. No pass shall be stopped for more than 30 minutes. In case

of any interruption beyond 30 minutes, coating shall be removed and entire joint

shall be re-coated.

Concrete placing shall be completed as quickly as possible. In case excessive

evaporation of water from the concrete is expected, exposed surfaces shall be

immediately covered. The coating shall be protected according to standard

practices.

In no case shall any grout or concrete be allowed to remain on the inside

surface of the pipe.

8.3.4
Curing

Immediately after placing, the exposed surface of concrete shall be protected

from the effects of sunshine, drying, winds, rain or running water, and its

temperature maintained so the concrete shall not be allowed to dehydrate. The

method of curing shall be acceptable to COMPANY and shall demonstrate its

efficiency particularly under adverse climatic conditions. Coated pipe shall not be

PHEONWJ -W-SPE-0007 Rev.0 Page 9 of 1 3

|DOCUMENTUM|8/25/2011|Paper Copies are Uncontrolled|

PT. PHE ONWJ Specification for Offshore Pipeline Weight Coating

loaded-out, transported or stacked until it has been cured or until compressive

strengths have achieved their minimum specified values.

The use of water sprays in the curing process is not permitted if freezing

conditions exists or is imminent.

Polythene or polyethylene sheet wrapping for curing membrane shall conform

to ASTM C1 71 or equivalent. Together with concrete application, the membrane

is wrapped continuously over the last concrete layer, and tied securely in place

with band. The wrap shall be applied under tension with a minimum 50 mm

overlap between sheets. Interface between the concrete and steel at the pipe

ends shall be wrapped to achieve an airtight seal.

If the curing process involves steam, then it shall demonstrate that the process

will have no deleterious effects upon the concrete. Under no circumstances

shall the pipe wall be allowed to reach a temperature that would cause any

damage whatsoever to the corrosion protection coating.

For curing by sealing compound, the sealing compounds shall conform to ASTM

C309 or equivalent and be applied strictly in accordance with manufacturer

instructions. The ingredients of any such compound shall be non-toxic and non-

inflammable and shall not react with any ingredient of the concrete, the

reinforcement, the corrosion protection coating or pipe.

8.3.5
Repair and Stripping

If the damage area is less than 0.8 m² in any 3 m length of pipe may be repaired

by hand patching providing that such repairs are carried out within 4 hours of

concrete application. If the damage area is more than 0.8 m² but less than 25%

of total coating, repairs shall be made using gunite. The concrete remaining shall

be undercut to provide a key lock. Concrete shall be placed within 30 minutes

from the time of mixing.

Repairs shall be made by satisfactorily restoring the reinforcing, removing all

cracked or broken concrete at the point of coating damage, wetting the fresh

surface of the broken coating (unless the coating is still too ’green’ to require it),

and trowelling a stiff mixture of cement, water and aggregate, of the same

materials and proportions as the coating, into and through the reinforcing. This

mixture shall be built up until the surface is level with the coating around the

repair. The pipe shall then be carefully laid in a position where it shall be allowed

to moist cure for a minimum of 36 hours. The resulting coating shall be equal in

weight, density, uniformity, strength and characteristics to the originally-applied

coating.

Concrete cracks that are in excess of 1 .5 mm in width and extend over 1 80°

circumferentially around the pipe or cracks that are over 300 mm in length

longitudinally along the pipe irrespective of width shall be repaired. Repairs shall

be made by chiseling the crack out to width of not less than 25 mm throughout

the length of the crack. The crack shall be repaired with materials similar to that

from which the coating is made and in a manner similar to that outline above.

The repairs shall be kept moist and allowed to remain undisturbed for a period at

least 36 hours.

Surface damage shall not be considered a defect if the total surface area of

damage per pipe is less than 0.1 m² with damage depth does not exceed 20%

of coating thicknesses and the remaining concrete is sound.

8.4
Anode Installation

Refer to PHEONWJ -W-SPE-001 2 for the anode installation.

9.
Inspection and Test

9.1 Inspection

All materials shall be certified by means of the manufacturer’s certificate of analysis for

each batch of material supplied.

All stages of the work shall be subject to full time inspection by COMPANY’s Inspector.

Coating Applicator shall give reasonable access and facilities required for inspection to

the COMPANY’s Inspector. COMPANY reserves the right to require additional testing at

any time to confirm or further investigate a suspected fault.

9.2
Test

9.2.1
Aggregate

The grading and cleanliness of aggregates supplied shall be checked at least

twice a week in according to ASTM C1 36 or equivalent. COMPANY reserves

the right to reject any aggregate considered to be unacceptable by virtue of

source, grading, quality or cleanliness.

9.2.2
Diameter Measurement

The outer diameter of each pipe joint shall be measured, either continuously by

an automatic measuring device or by taking at least six girth measurements,

reasonably spaced, along the length of the concrete coating. Diameter tolerance

shall be ± 1 0 mm. The concrete coating shall be concentric on the pipe. This

girth measurement shall be recorded and the average shall be used in the

negative buoyancy calculations.

If any scrapping and addition of concrete is required to obtain correct thickness,

the tolerances of pipe diameter and weight and location of reinforcement shall

be taken into account. Concrete shall be placed within 30 minutes from the time

of mixing. If the tolerances and conditions for corrective actions cannot be met,

the pipe joint shall be stripped and re-coated.

9.2.3
Weighing of Pipe

Tolerance of weight each pipe immediately after concrete coating shall be

between -5% and +7% of calculated total pipe weight (steel pipe, corrosion

protection coating, and concrete weight coating).

9.2.4
Concrete Density and Water Absorption

Concrete mixing, not less than 4 days old, shall be tested in accordance with

ASTM C642 or equivalent to determine the density of the concrete and the

saturated weight after immersion. Test according to ASTM C1 38 or equivalent

shall also be performed to determine the expected correlation between the

fresh concrete density and dry density.

Tolerance of concrete density shall be +5% (no negative tolerance). The

concrete coating shall not absorb water more than 5% of its weight in water

immersion. The test shall be taken for every 1 00 joints of production or once per

shift whichever is more frequent. Water absorption exceeding 5% shall result in

rejecting of all coated pipes represented by the test pipe.

9.2.5
Negative Buoyancy

The negative buoyancy tolerance for each individual concrete coated pipe shall

be ± 5% with a rolling 2:5 consecutive joints average ± 2.5%. Weighing device

shall have an accuracy of at least 0.5%

9.2.6
Reinforcement

For one pipe chosen at random out of each 1 00 (can be chosen by COMPANY),

the freshly placed concrete shall be cleared away down to the corrosion coating

PHEONWJ -W-SPE-0007 Rev.0 Page 1 1 of 1 3

|DOCUMENTUM|8/25/2011|Paper Copies are Uncontrolled|

PT. PHE ONWJ Specification for Offshore Pipeline Weight Coating

for an area 1 00 mm wide and 250 mm long in the longitudinal direction. This

exposed area shall be used to confirm that the reinforcement is positioned

within the concrete as specified.

If the reinforcement is not positioned correctly, the pipe shall be rejected and

recoated. Each pipe in succession shall be inspected and rejected in this manner

until the position of the reinforcement is accepted.

Using a suitable instrument, test shall be carried-out to demonstrate that the

reinforcement steel and the pipe or the anode (where fitted) are electrically

discontinuous. Every pipe joint with an anode attached shall be checked and the

pipes without anode at a frequency of one-in-thirty.

9.2.7
Compressive Strength

Compressive strength test shall be performed in accordance with ASTM C873

or equivalent. Samples of proctor cylinder shall be prepared in accordance with

ASTM C31 and ASTM C39 or equivalent. Samples of the fresh concrete mix

shall be taken from the feed. One set of four test cylinders shall be taken for

every 1 00 joints of production or once per shift whichever is more frequent.

One to be tested at 7 days and two at 28 days. The fourth cylinder is spare.

In the event that concrete cylinders do not meet the specified strength,

COMPANY shall have the right to order additional testing of the suspect pipe

coatings or to reject the pipe joints coated with concrete from the same batch.

9.3
Supplementary Test

The particular specification will indicate which supplementary testing shall be applied:

9.3.1
Drilled Core

If specified, with reference to ASTM C42, 6 core samples shall be taken from

one joint for every 1 00 joints produced. The joints can be chosen by COMPANY.

The cores shall be drilled out of the concrete coating at the latest 3 days after

coating. Each 3 core samples shall be tested at 7 and 28 days in accordance

with ASTM C39 or equivalent. Cores shall be cured alongside the parent pipe at

all times. No single core result shall be below 80% of the specified proctor

cylinder compressive strength.

The cores shall be drilled at 3 locations on the pipe body; between 1 and 2 m

from each end, and within the middle. The set of 3 cores for each testing age

shall consist of 1 core from each location.

If any of the test cores fail, the coating cannot be accepted and pipes on either

side of the reject (in the coating sequence) shall then be tested to the same

parameters as above. This operation will continue until acceptable pipes are

found.

If the average strengths are below the minimum requirements, a further two

pipes from the same production shall be tested. If the average using the original

three results plus the additional six cores satisfy the strength requirements, the

coating will be accepted.

If any of the new cores fail to meet the minimum requirements, or the new

average is below the minimum average requirement, the total coating

production represented by the test shall be cored and evaluated on an individual

pipe basis.

9.3.2
Impact Testing

If specified, impact testing is required to demonstrate suitability for use in

offshore applications where fishing activities occur. However, pipes subject to

PHEONWJ -W-SPE-0007 Rev.0 Page 1 2 of 1 3

|DOCUMENTUM|8/25/2011|Paper Copies are Uncontrolled|

PT. PHE ONWJ Specification for Offshore Pipeline Weight Coating

impact testing shall be scrapped and not repaired or incorporated in the pipeline.

The test shall be carried out 90° to pipe axis at one location. Impact blows (5

times) shall be directed on the same location. Hammer should have a vertical

drop of 660mm giving a velocity of impact of 3.60 m/second (7 knots). Hammer

weight shall be 2.68 ton and/or 1 .84 ton with 1 0 mm radius of striker edge.

The concrete coated test pipe shall be rigidly supported from the rear over its

full length by moist sand and shall be held rigidly at its ends by wooden cradles

and wedges to prevent movement of the pipe under impact.

The point of impact on the concrete shall be at the 3 o ’clock position. The pipe

shall be supported so that impact of the concrete is made when the hammer is

at the lowest point in its swing.

Concrete coating will be considered acceptable when the following conditions

are satisfied:

• the corrosion protection coating shall not be visible after impact.

• spalling has not occurred further than 300mm from the impact location.

9.3.3
Shear Testing

If specified, shear testing shall be performed prior to application of regular

concrete coating. Shear testing is performed to ensure the shear strength of the

bond between the concrete weight coating and corrosion protection coating

would withstand the large tensions that the pipe would endure during

installation. Minimum shear strength shall be 0.5 MPa.

9.3.4
Bend Testing

If specified, bend testing is required to ensure that the coatings can withstand

the loads expected during installation. The bending radius or degree of bend

shall represent that the pipeline will undergo during installation. If there is no

damage to the coatings these joints may be utilized in the construction.

1 0. Marking

All marking on inside of pipe in the as received condition shall not be removed. Coating

identification shall be marked on the inside of one end of the pipe.
