Work Method Statement

General Safety

Safety is the responsibility of every employee irrespective of status. Employees shall ensure that their
workplace is safe and functions efficiently and safely. Common sense should be applied for safe
working practices to be implemented and adhered to at all times. Particular attention is to be given to
worksite safety and to any safety procedures provided.

The following safety rules shall be adhered to at all times:

• Help prevent accidents and injury before they occur. Stay alert at all times. Report situations
which may cause or lead to accident or injury.
• In particular, report all unsafe conditions, tools, equipment and working practices immediately
to operational management / supervision so that they can be corrected before they can cause
accidents.
• Use the Hazard Report Form to notify management of Health, Safety or Environmental hazards
or problems that are encountered in the workplace.
• Find out and understand all relevant information involving general health and safety issues as
well as those specific to PRS project work scope without having first to be told about it.
• Alcohol and drugs (except under prescription) are prohibited. If a person is taking prescribed
drugs this information must be notified to the installation's medical person on arrival.
• Do not remove, displace, damage or destroy any safety equipment provided for use on jobs.
• Permit to work procedures shall be strictly adhered to. No work shall commence until the
appropriate permit has been obtained from a competent issuing authority.
• Watch where you walk and keep alert to the movement of equipment and other persons
around you. Use the handrail when on stairways.
• All employees shall maintain their work area in a neat, orderly, tidy and litter free condition
at all times.

All employees shall use personal protective equipment (PPE) provided for their use. Only authorized
persons shall be allowed to operate plant and power tools.

All employees shall inspect their work areas at the end of each shift and ensure that all air, water,
diesel and electrical supplies are shut off unless otherwise instructed.

No person shall stand under loads handled by power operated lifting equipment. All personnel shall
be aware of what to do in an emergency. Equipment shall not be operated unless the operator is
sufficiently trained and experienced in its use whilst unsupervised

Work Method Statement

Slips, trips and falls

Be careful when moving about any work area to avoid slipping, tripping, or falling. Be especially careful
when weather or other conditions create or aggravate hazardous situations. Look for slip and trip
hazards around the workplace, such as uneven floors, trailing cables, areas that are sometimes
slippery due to spillages (include outdoor areas).

Hazard Suggested Action

Clean spills up immediately. If a liquid is greasy ensure a


suitable cleaning agent is used. After cleaning the floor may
Spillage of wet and dry substances
be wet for some time. Use appropriate signs to tell people
the floor is still wet and arrange alternative bypass routes.

Position equipment to avoid cables crossing pedestrian


Trailing cables
routes, use cable covers to securely fix to surfaces.

Miscellaneous rubbish, e.g. plastic Keep areas clear, remove rubbish and do not allow to build
bags up.

Choose suitable footwear, particularly with the correct type


Unsuitable footwear
of sole.

Smoke /steam/ vapour obscuring Eliminate or control by redirecting it away from risk areas;
view improve ventilation and warn of it.

Slopes Improve visibility, provide hand rails, use floor markings.

Ensure mats are securely fixed and do not have curling


Rugs/mats
edges.

Slippery surfaces and change from Suitable footwear, warn of risks by using signs, locate
wet to dry floor surfaces doormats where these changes are likely.

Poor lighting Improve lighting levels and placement of light fittings.

Work Method Statement

Manual handling and lifting

Many injuries are caused by poor lifting practices.

Back injuries can be eliminated by following these simple rules:


• Assess the load and your own capability before you lift it (size, weight, centre of gravity, hand
holds, sharp edges, hot/cold surfaces, sudden internal weight shifts in liquid containers)
• Get help if necessary. If the load requires help –don’t lift it without help
• Beware of distractions (noise, other people etc.), bad lighting and physical obstructions
• Secure a good hold on the object before lifting
• Take the strain gradually
• Make sure you can see where you are going when carrying the load – slip/trip hazards in
particular
• Use teamwork when lifting with others. Lift or lower the object together
• Minimise occasions for which manual lifting is required. Use mechanical means whenever
possible
• Minimise the weight of a lift whenever possible

To make a manual lift from floor level, you should:


• Avoid lifting in an awkward or off-balance position. Never twist or bend your spine when lifting
or carrying
• Stand with feet approximately 30 cm (12 inches) apart
• Recess one foot approximately halfway behind the other
• Squat to the load or object
• Place hands on load or subject for firm grip
• Keep the back straight
• Lift by straightening the legs
• Do not lift with the back

Lifts from between knee and shoulder height are much easier than those outside this height range.

Moving loads from one level or floor to another is more hazardous. Remember a back injury is usually
for life.

Barriers

All PRS equipment and hoses as well as the system need to be barriered of in order to prevent
unauthorized personnel entering the area.

Red and white tape will be used at the entrance of the site. Warning signs displaying information on
the activities e.g.(“PRESSURE TESTING”) will be posted with the barrier tape at all access points.
Warning signs must also be posted with regular intervals around the test barriers.

Prior to the commencement of operations on any system, all relevant personnel must be informed of
the impending operations by either a tannoy announcement or by individual verbal messages. The
complete site will be cleared of “Unauthorized personnel”.

a VolkerWessels company 6|P a g e


Work Method Statement

Personnel protect equipment

All PRS operational personnel are provided with full protective clothing which must be worn at all
times when working on site or when appropriate on company premises.

The minimum standard of protective clothing provided and worn includes:

• Footwear: safety boots/shoes to the newest standard.


• Hard Hat: an approved hard hat shall be worn at all times.
• Gloves: dry gloves must be worn when handling the cold transfer hoses. Loose gloves that
can be quickly shaken off, in case of accidental spillage into them, are preferred
• Safety glasses: safety glasses shall be worn at all times
• Ear protection:- ear protection shall be worn

Client requirements on personal protective equipment will be adhered to at all times by all PRS
personnel.

In the event of an emergency during operations, all equipment shall be shut down immediately. The
power supply to the leak test equipment container or lab shall be isolated and the air supply to the
diesel unit closed off.

If a system is under pressure at the time of an emergency the injection point must be closed as soon
as pumping has stopped. Non return valves shall be fitted to injection points of systems to ensure that
pressure is contained in the event of hose failure.

Work permits are to be returned to the permit office / control room unless the permit states
otherwise. Personnel shall proceed to their allocated emergency muster point in accordance with the
clients site contingency plan.

a VolkerWessels company 7|P a g e


Work Method Statement

Positioning of equipment

The equipment required to perform the work scope may not have arrived on site yet or if it has, it may
require moving to an alternative position or location. In this case the supervisor must liaise with the
client representative or other similar persons to assist in this operation.

Care must be taken to ensure that the movement of any equipment is sited in accordance with normal
PRS and clients requirements (for example - on wooden slats or on plastic sheets etc.), is prevented
from damage, is sited appropriately for operational purposes and ideally in the vicinity of the following
services - tannoy announcements, air, water, fuel supply, firefighting appliances etc.

Once the equipment has been sited an inventory check and inspection must be performed on all
equipment, consumables and ancillaries to check for obvious deficiencies and damage. Any
deficiencies or damage identified must be suitably recorded and reported to the Supervisor as soon
as possible for immediate action.

The availability, calibration, condition and operability of all safety critical items (alarms, trips, shut-
downs, pressure relief valves, bunds, site services etc. must be checked and work must not proceed if
any are deficient.

All equipment, especially any that is subject to positive or negative pressure, prior to operations must
be physically checked for any obvious signs of wear and tear or damage that may, or is likely to, lead
to its failure. The use of the damaged equipment must not continue. The item must be withdrawn
from use, identified and / or segregated and the matter immediately reported to the Job Supervisor.
The matter must also be recorded so that any appropriate and if need be, immediate action may be
initiated.

Equipment safety

Access to the top of all framed units higher than 1,8 metres above deck / ground level shall involve
the wearing and securing of safety harness. PRS personnel shall wear ear defenders at all times when
running diesel powered equipment with a sound power level in excess of 85 dB(A). The pump operator
and all other PRS personnel must obey tannoy announcements and any other instructions whether
they be verbal or by audible alarm. All equipment shall be located when on-site in a manner which
leaves suitable and safe escape routes. Equipment shall be located so as to leave 2 ft gangways
between each unit wherever possible.

Hoses (hydraulic oil and high-pressure gas) shall be routed so as to:


• prevent trip hazards
• prevent damage to hoses
• protect all personnel and site equipment in the event of hose failure i.e. away from access
routes.

All equipment that is used during operations must be certified and in date. This includes but not
limited to: gauges, chart recorders, dew-point meters, pressure release valves. If no certificate can be
found and no record is on or in the equipment that must be treated as non-certified and not used.

Work Method Statement

Actions in the event of an emergency

In the event of an emergency during operations, all equipment shall be shut down immediately. The
power supply to the equipment container or lab shall be isolated and the air supply to the diesel unit
closed off.

If a system is under pressure at the time of an emergency the injection point must be closed as soon
as pumping has stopped. Non return valves shall be fitted to injection points of systems to ensure that
pressure is contained in the event of hose failure.

Work permits are to be returned to the permit office / control room unless the permit states
otherwise. Personnel shall proceed to their allocated emergency muster point in accordance with the
clients contingency plan.

Work Method Statement

4. Communications

Site induction and permit to work

All PRS operational personnel must attend the clients standard induction (if not already inducted)
courses on arrival at site.

All works must be carried out in accordance with the clients Permit to Work System. A valid permit to
work need to be signed before every shift change.

Wherever practicable, PRS personnel should receive training from the client on the clients permit
system.

All PRS crew members on any job must read, understand and be aware of all Work Permits in force
and information contained therein relating to their scope of work. Any precautions, measures or
actions to be taken as specified by the Work Permit must be adhered to at all times throughout the
duration of the work.

Any new hazards or risks that arise from changes must be identified and assessed at this time. If a
permit will expire before the workscope will be completed, the Job Supervisor shall ensure that a new
permit is raised and endorsed before the expiry time / date of the old permit.

The PRS Supervisor will hold a pre job briefing for the Work crews to discuss operational procedures,
safety issues and any site-specific hazards. This will be repeated for new arrivals to site

Pre-job safety meeting

The Service Supervisor must conduct a pre-job safety meeting for all Company personnel, customer
representatives, and all other relevant individuals on location. For offshore operations all personnel
that will be involved to some capacity on the rig floor should be included in the pre-job meeting.

The subjects covered and discussed during the briefing shall include, but should not be limited to the
following

• A review of the job procedure / work scope and timings.


• A reminder of any safety points.
• A discussion on equipment deployed.
• A discussion on personnel involved and their responsibilities.
• Any client key points.
• Contingency planning [if applicable]
• Risk Assessments
• House Keeping and general Safety
• Lighting (if night shift)
• Conflicting Activities
• Access and Evacuation
• Specific Job Hazards
• Use of correct PPE
• Weather Conditions
• Work Permits

Work Method Statement

Toolbox talk

When crew members attend the onsite job pre-meeting there shall be no need to conduct a
subsequent Toolbox talk. Where any crew members (including other shifts) do not attend, then a
toolbox talk shall take place for them, before work starts. The Senior Operator/Crew Supervisor/Senior
Technician/Engineer shall conduct a brief onsite meeting to discuss the particular job to be undertaken
and inform the crew of any potential hazards.

These meetings shall be repeated whenever the crew/shift changes. Any third-party personnel
involved in or affected by the work shall also be invited to the meeting. Topics covered shall include
those in the previous section. Meetings shall be recorded on the Toolbox Talk Form (Insert Ref).
Toolbox talks held shall be noted on the daily operations form. This kind of meeting is meant to give
the employee specific information about actual QHSE-aspects in a short time frame (15 minutes). This
may include:

• Risks and hazards mentioned in the Task Risk Analysis


• Past accidents and loss experience
• Content of the work permit
• Good housekeeping
• Division of waste materials
• Safe lifting
• Emergency procedures
• Environmental aspects and impacts
• Handling specific equipment/tools/matters etc.

Shift Handover

At every shift change, there shall be a time period solely dedicated for the purpose of exchanging a
written and a verbal account of the previous shift's operations. It is the responsibility of the supervisor
to ensure that there is a complete exchange of all information sufficient to allow the "oncoming" crew
to safely and competently continue with the operations. The shift handover period should include
(when appropriate) a complete "walk through" of the systems under test in order to identify strategic
areas or points

Points that need to be discussed in meeting:

• Status of the work during the previous shift


• Ongoing work in progress
• Work that needs to be done in the next period
• Status of the system (purging, pressurized etched)
• Permit status
• Changes in procedure or work scope
• Consumables status (diesel level, water, etc.)
• Any other relevant points

All above points need to be recorded on a PRS shift handover form

a VolkerWessels company 11 | P a g e
Work Method Statement

Post-job safety meeting

Following the end of all jobs and on return to base any health, safety or environmental issue (including
Job Performance Indicator Forms or Job HSE Audit Forms) arising from the job shall be discussed and
recorded. Corrective action arising shall be implemented and where appropriate or serious enough,
shall be notified to the HSE Manager.

Topics to be discussed:

• Work scope summary.


• Problems experienced during work scope.
• Recommendations for next work scope.
• Quality and safety performance.
• Client comments.
• Areas of improvement or concern

a VolkerWessels company 12 | P a g e
Work Method Statement

5. General Preparation

Establishment of job pressure

Whether generic, project or client procedures are to be used, work shall not commence before the
maximum allowable system pressure have been established, agreed with the client and stated in
writing within whatever procedure / safe working practice is to apply.

Maintenance/certification/stored equipment

All working equipment shall be properly maintained and equipment requiring certification shall always
have current certification provided by a competent and recognised authority. Faulty equipment
should be brought to the attention of the supervisor/coordinator. Any equipment belonging to
ourselves or customers shall always be stored in a safe manner.

Rig-up / Rig-down (General)

Rig-up, the area should be accessible to 40-ton truck combinations. The location of the high-pressure
pump must be in such a way that they can drive in and out easy and safe.

Ensure that the location does not stop or impede other activities of the plant/installation. Ensure
sufficient space for forklift access and egress. On larger projects allow for space to be allocated if
needed for deliveries of equipment or supplies.

Ensure that the location chosen conforms to these requirements. (If Possible)
• Stores container
• Space for equipment and delivery’s
• Ensure the location is close to all the necessary support e.g., electric, air supply, water
supply
• Installation of temporary silencer

Rig-down, upon rigging down ensure that a full site inspection has been done and that all container
and Workspaces have been cleaned and correctly stowed for transportation.

If working on an off-shore installation, ensure that the corrected paper work has been raised with the
plant for the loading of the containers on the transportation ship back to shore.

All equipment that has become unserviceable during operations should be taped red and a
maintenance sheet has been correctly filled out detailing all the information that is necessary for the
workshop to understand why the equipment is now unserviceable.

a VolkerWessels company 13 | P a g e
Work Method Statement

Injection manifold

Every injection point into a customer system shall be fitted with an injection manifold. All fittings shall
be rated to the same maximum working pressure as the hose. A check valve shall be fitted to all high-
pressure gas transmission hoses at the system injection point manifold on all jobs without exception.

This valve is required to prevent backflow of high-pressure gas from the system in the event of a hose
bursting. Prior to removal of the manifold care must be taken to ensure that any trapped high-pressure
gas has been vented to atmosphere.

The injection manifold shall always comprise the following, in sequence starting from the hose
coupling and ending with the crossover into the customer injection fitting:
• A "whip check" or other securing device must be used to secure the hose to the injection
manifold
• Coupling from hose to manifold
• A manifold isolation ball valve
• A check valve with the flow direction positioned correctly
• Hose bleed down or vent facility (incorporating a ball valve or needle valve)
• A pressure tapping (with ball valve)
• A main injection point isolation ball valve.
• Cross over from manifold to customer injection fitting
• A "whip check" or other securing device must be used to secure the injection manifold to the
customer system

Isolation from the customer system before and after pressurisation shall always be by use of the
main injection point valve.

Customer valves shall never be used. In the event of inadvertent closure during pump flow or before
full pump shut down all fittings will experience a transient high pressure "spike" before the hose
protection relief valve lifts and the hose protection overpressure switch trips the pump. Customer
systems must always be protected from these pressures.

Hose runs may be manifold along their length to split a single hose into a number of legs –each having
its own injection manifold.

IMPORTANT:
Care must be taken to ensure that fittings have compatible threads before mating them together. For
example, BSP and NPT threads are not to be matched together as this practice is potentially
dangerous. Jointing material should not be used with parallel threaded fittings. When pressures are
expected that are in excess of the equipment employed, appropriate and certified higher pressure
rated assemblies must be exchanged prior to use. The use of higher pressure rated equipment in lower
pressure conditions is acceptable when lower rated equipment is in limited supply.
Pressurisation of any system must be through a suitably sized customer valve or orifice. The practice
of utilising needle valves to inject through should be avoided. The limited orifice size of these types of
valves causes flow restriction and generates unacceptably high back pressures.

a VolkerWessels company 14 | P a g e
Work Method Statement

System over pressurization protection

Client systems may be pressurised during hydro test, leak test, pigging or purging jobs. The system to
be pressurised shall, at all times, be protected from over pressurisation. Job test or maximum
pressure shall be set following consultation with the client and system overpressure protection
devices shall be set at 10% above this pressure (where system design pressure allows).

Client system over pressure protection may be provided by use of a single or a number of protection
devices namely:

• A mechanical pressure relief valve set as above and temporarily attached to the system
(Temporary PRV).
• The temporary PRV must be sized for maximum pump flow at the above set pressure. Some
PRS departments use stand-alone overpressure manifolds (OPM) with the Temporary PRV
mounted inside.
• In addition to the over pressure protection devices there shall be a calibrated pressure gauge
(or client's own electronic pressure monitoring device) and a pressure chart recorder attached
to the system.

As part of the pre job function tests the sender and any other lines associated with the over pressure
panel shall be isolated and pressured tested to test pressure. The pre-pressurisation checklist shall
include this valve. It shall state that this must be opened along with the injection point to the client
system prior to tests commencing. These function tests shall be recorded on the chart recorder.

Note: Where maximum possible pump discharge pressure is substantially below the rated maximum
operating pressure of the whole client system, pumps, hoses, flow iron, pipes, manifold (or any other
fitting located in the line of flow) then temporary PRV's may not be practicable and need not be used.
This note applies to centrifugal pumps only. Large flooding spreads, operating at medium to low
pressures with pigs in open vented lines for example. However, the maximum pump pressure used
shall be assessed under all foreseeable emergency conditions, including accidental shut in / dead head
conditions.

Note: Wherever a secondary system such as a pressure switch is run to back up a primary system such
as a PRV, personnel should clearly understand that such systems are fitted for added assurance and
where fitted shall always be run together with the primary system and not as an alternative to it.
All relief valves shall be positioned or piped up so that discharge of vented fluids, if the valve lifts, is
to a safe location.

• For non-hazardous fluids this means positioning relief valves so as to avoid personnel or
equipment being struck by discharged fluids or debris. Positioning, selection and support of
relief valves and associated pipework shall be designed to safely accommodate any side thrust
at the point of discharge.

• For hazardous fluids this may involve a number of possibilities (recycle to pump suction,
recycle back to tank, feed off to a designated safe location agreed with the client such as a pit
or flare).

Whatever method is used, it shall be scrupulously risk assessed for safety. Return lines run for this
purpose shall not impose flow induced pressure drops that could reduce relief valve output and
protection performance. Return lines shall be suitably pressure rated and sized for vented flow.

a VolkerWessels company 15 | P a g e
Work Method Statement

Return lines shall be checked for leak tightness during the pre-job pressure test. Block valves
shall not be run downstream of relief valves.

Temporary PRV's shall be tested, recalibrated and recertified to the agreed job set pressure before
each job. Pressure switches (where fitted) shall be tested and set by the job supervisor before each
job and at least monthly for long duration jobs. Pump PRV's shall be tested, recalibrated and
recertified annually as part of a base programmed maintenance system. Where appropriate identical,
certified, replacement relief valves shall be fitted to operational pumps to allow this.

IMPORTANT:
No part of a customer system shall be isolated from previously arranged overpressure protection
for any reason, at any time during the job.
No one shall remove or isolate any safety device installed on PRS equipment except for the purposes
of calibration, repair or maintenance. Safety devices shall be immediately replaced by equivalent
devices in such circumstances.

Whatever device is used, interference, tampering, modifying, isolating or altering the devices during
pressurisation or depressurisation of a system shall not take place without the system being first made
safe. If there is any reason to suspect that unauthorised interference has taken place the operation
shall be stopped for investigation prior to its continuation.
If at any time there is evidence to suggest that any protection or monitoring device is not performing
as it is designed to do then work shall be halted immediately, the system under pressure first made
safe and action taken to remedy the situation. Operations shall not commence without the above
protection devices in place and working properly.

Hose over pessurization protection

During rig up, appropriate lengths of hoses or other means of conveying the pressurising fluid (treating
iron or "pipes") and associated clean connections and fittings are to be run out to the agreed injection
point. This may be a single or multipoint injection. Hoses may be for low- or high-pressure gas/liquid
duty; in every case hoses, pipes, connections and fittings must be correctly pressure rated and sized
according to the type of work scope. Check before they are used. All hoses, treating iron or temporary
pipework shall have been pre-tested prior to mobilisation and carry current test certificates. These
certificates shall be presented to the client for inspection/approval prior to use on the job.

When applicable, rubber hoses and pipes shall have visual identification as to their function (i.e. main
discharge line, to test separator 1 ..... etc.). All hoses for whatever duty shall be tagged with a label
stating their maximum working pressure. All hoses shall be tested to their MWP every 12 months, and
the tested date marked on the tag. All pipeline services hoses shall be pre-tested to job working
pressure before each mobilisation.

Where appropriate, pressure drop shall be checked by calculation. Required flow rates may demand
pump discharge pressures greater than fitting or hose ratings. Discharge of used / spent liquid or gas
into customer vent or drain systems may generate sufficient back pressure to overpressure under
specified hose. Unplanned changes to rig up may cause excess flow and pressure to occur at
unforeseen points in hose runs.

At each rubber hose connection, a safety device shall be fitted so that in the event of hoses parting
company under pressure, the hoses are prevented from "whipping" about. A device such as a "whip-
check" or another suitable device must be used. Strong rope shall also be used to tie down lengths of

a VolkerWessels company 16 | P a g e

hoses providing, however, that the tie-down point selected is secure. Rubber hoses shall be secured
together and tied down (where practical) at each connection point along their length.

Long hoses shall be tied down at intermediate points where appropriate. Rubber hoses shall be
secured at all interfaces with the process plant and at the pump discharge.

Rubber hoses and pipes shall be routed (whenever possible) out of all walkways. If unavoidable, they
shall be routed in such a position so as not to present a "tripping" or safety hazard. In addition, rubber
hoses must be routed (where possible) in such a manner as to minimise the effects of abrasion,
accidental damage and away from areas frequently used by personnel (e.g., exits to and from
accommodation areas, tea shacks, designated smoking areas).

All surplus rubber hoses and pipes shall be coiled or stacked neatly and in such a manner that they do
not present a "tripping" or safety hazard.

Both rubber hoses and pipes shall be protected against over pressure and unacceptable temperatures
either by being rated above max possible (normal, abnormal and emergency) pressures and
temperatures or if this is not practical, by the use of suitable PRV's (Line PRV) or pressure/temperature
switches. Requirements for safe venting/recycle of hazardous liquids and for PRV/switch testing
specified for System Protection shall also apply to Hose Protection.

All equipment test dates should be checked for expiring based on the existing labels and stickers. Of
all pump / air hoses / pig-launchers etc. must be checked if the inspection date is not expired and is
suitable for the maximum test pressure.

Also, this procedure includes project specific TRA. The procedure must be checked by all parties,
approved, and signed before the work is performed.

6. Work method statement

Pre-notification provided by customer

Before testing can take place, a pre-notification is required at an early stage. It should contain at
least the following points:
• The system number and location
• The external diameters (mm), the wall thicknesses (mm), the lengths (m) and the volume
(m³) per diameter/ wall thickness section
• The total volume
• The test medium
• Date and time start hydrostatic test
• Design pressure
• Test pressures of the hydrostatic test
• Duration of the hydrostatic test

Registration

A pressure test form is drawn up of the test, containing at least the following data:
• Client name
• Identification of the tested pipeline or system
• Information of pressure gauges and temperature gauges
• Used medium
• Date of filling
• Date and time start hydrostatic test
• Test pressures of the hydrostatic test
• Duration of the hydrostatic test
• Remarks/ Events

Safety distance

During the test, the safety of the operating personnel, the environment and the installation must be
guaranteed. Although no explosions occur when testing with liquid, the ejecting of a part or the
spraying of the test liquid in the event of a collapse can cause danger to persons. Before starting each
test, a safety distance will be calculated based on the pipeline data.

Pressure measurement requirement

• The pipeline can be approved if pressure changes can be explained from the measured
temperature measurements, taking into account the inaccuracy in the measuring equipment
• During the test, a combination of two calibrated pressure gauges should be used to verify
that the test is performed at the correct pressure

Pneumatic pre-test

Initial pressurization of any system must always be performed in a slow and controlled manner.
Injection will be halted at 1 bar(g) and visual and audible inspection checks will be carried out.

a VolkerWessels company 18 | P a g e
Work Method Statement

Filling of system (performed by Vecom)

To prevent air pockets in the system, the system is filled slowly via the temporary inlet and fully
vented. When the system is fully filled with water, circulation of the main systems are started, and
one by one the subsystems are put into the circulation loop.

Hydrostatic test

A minimum of 1 hour for test pressure will be recommended. During the pressure test, if necessary,
welds are soaped in order to identify leakages/ or bad welds and or connections. The strength test
should be clearly visible written down on the gauge. This should have the correct measuring range so
that the test pressure can be read clearly.

The first pressurization step is at 1 bar(g), the stabilization time will be 5 min for each step. After the
first step, the next step will be 50% of the test pressure and then steps of 10%.

Initial pressurization of any system must always be performed in a slow and controlled manner,
stopping initially at 1 bar(g) and then at pressures equal to 50% of the final test pressure, in order
to allow the system to stabilize for a 5-minute period and to check all joints and flanges for visible or
audible leakage.

This will be repeated at 50%, steps of 10% till 100% test pressure. Injection will be halted at these
points and visual and audible inspection checks will be carried out. Pressure drop time assessments
will be carried out in order to satisfy the PRS supervisor and client responsible. Once system integrity
is established then pressurization will recommence up to 100% final test pressure with all checks
carried out as previously stated.

Measuring equipment

During the strength test the following precision measuring equipment is used:

Item Deviation % Exactitude Range


Analog precision gauge 1 cl. 0.6 0,5 bar To be determined later
Analog precision gauge 2 cl. 0.6 0,5 bar To be determined later
Pressure recorder cl. 1.0 2 bars To be determined later
Ambient temperature recorder cl. 1.0 2℃ -20℃ / + 50℃
Contact thermometer N/a 0,1 ℃ -50℃ / + 400℃

Instruments used for measurement of pressure and temperature shall be certified for accuracy and
sensitivity. The certification date shall be within 12 months preceding the test. All instrument relevant
test/ calibration certificates will be supplied for review and approval prior the testing activities.

If the system is equipped with many valves, it is wise to use more pressure gauges to ensure that the
entire system is fully pressurized.

Dewatering

After the hydrostatic testing has been completed, the water must be removed from the pipeline/
system. The system must be drained at all possible drain points/ vents fitted on the line. During
dewatering it is important that an air vent is opened so that no vacuum is created in the system. This
drains the system and completes the test.

7. Reporting

After successfully performing the hydrostatic test. The completed system pack will be passed to the
client for comment. The completed system pack shall include the following information:

1. Chart recorder information showing temperature sequence


2. Chart recorder information showing pressurisation sequence
3. Pressure test form
4. Daily operations logs
5. Toolbox talk and pre-job safety meeting
6. Equipment and personnel schedules
7. Job site risk assessments
8. Accident / Incident Reports

8. Disassembly / Demobilization of equipment

All pump-/air Hoses must be disconnected from the system and stored in the tool container. All spool-
pieces-, blind flanges etc. should be removed and the original valves should be mounted again.

A full site check for PRS equipment should be carried out on projects or large jobs prior to leaving site

All equipment that has become unserviceable during operations should be taped red so that
mechanics back at PRS yard can easily identify that equipment for repair.

Chem ical cleaning procedure

Overview of works

To enable cleaning, circulation and pressure testing of the system Vecom will build a
tem porary piping system with pum p and circulationtank (see P&ID file)
The following steps will be m ade to clean the system

1 Erection tem porary system , 2 Air test and filling with water, 3 hydrotest (by PRS), 4 Leaktest
tem porary system 5 chem ical cleaning, 6 draining, 7 flushing, 8 drying with air, 9 dism antling
tem porary system

2.1 Equipment
Description of project: The passivation and drying of purified water system
Volume of system: ± 100 Liter (Purified water piping incl. temporary cleaning circuit)
Type of material: Stainless steel

2.2 Delivery of systems

Klimaoprema will ensure the system is prepared as per Vecom engineering before the start of the
filling of the systems.
Klimaoprema will ensure the availability of sufficient water.
W aste water treatment or disposal of waste water has been arranged and approved

2.3 Air-test and Filling of the system


Before the system can be filled an air-test will be held in order to see if there are any major leaks in
the system.

2
For this the complete system (including temporary system) will be slowly pressurised with air to
1Bar(g) and inspected before filling with water may commence.
If test is successful, the system can be filled with water to perform the hydrotest of the system

To prevent air pockets in the system, the system is able to switch flow direction and by switching flow
direction air can be removed. W hen the system is fully filled with demin water, circulation of the main
systems are started, and one by one the subsystems are put into the circulation loop.

HYDROTEST: After filling of the system with water a hydrotest will be held by PRS on the
existing system (see separate Hydrotest package for further inform ation).

2.4 Leak test


After the hydrotest of the existing system is finished and before starting any chemical phase, the
temporary system is leaktested separately at a higher pressure.
The leak test is performed specifically to check if the temporary systems are free of any leaks. This is
done with demin water. Both the temporary and existing system are put under 1.5 times the pressure
that will be used during the cleaning, with a minimum of 5.0 –6.0 bar, but always at least one (2) bar
lower than the hydrotest pressure. The test lasts 15-30min.

During this time, the system is walked down to see if any leaks are noticed, and this is validated by a
visual inspection around the system and tracking of the pressure given on the manometer. A decrease
in the pressure signifies that there is a leak. Should there be any leaks, these will be taken care of before
the chemical cleaning commences.

2.5 Passivating the system with Vecinox Passivating Liquid

After the leaktest the system will be drained fully.


W hen system is empty, it will be refilled completely with Vecinox Passivating liquid.
The passivating liquid will be circulated for a minimum of 2-3 hour.

During the passivation the iron and acid concentrations are determined.
The passivation is ended when the iron and acid concentrations are stable.

Parameters:
Temperature : Ambient temperature
Vecinox Passivating Liquid : 100 % (approx.. 18 –22 % nitric acid)
During the passivation, analyses will be performed (acid and iron concentrations are measured).
Test freg. : Every 30 minutes
After passivation the solution is drained to temporary waste water storage.

2.6 Final flush

Flushing with demineralized water


The lines are filled and flushed until the difference in conductivity of the influent and effluent is less than
25 µS/cm. The flush water is collected in temporary waste water storage.
After the final flushing the lines will be fully drained in preparation for the drying step

3
Parameters for flushing:
Temperature : Ambient
pH value : < 1 pH units difference (influent and effluent water)
Conductivity : < 5 µS/cm in/out (influent and effluent water)

2.7 Drying of system

After draining of the system the final drying step will follow
This will be executed by means of compressed air (dry and oil free) according DPS procedure –LEI-

4. Precautions

4.1 General Precautions

In order to minimize the possibilities of accidental spillage of chemical or other hazardous liquids,
the following precautionary measures will be implemented on site as far as possible:

a) The storage area of chemicals and chemical waste shall be located within a bunded, secure
location –away from general pedestrian and vehicular traffic –and off-limits to non-authorized
personnel.
b) Use suitable containers which are resistant to the stored chemicals or the chemical waste.
c) Label the storage containers and the chemical tanks in accordance with CLP regulations and
GHS
d) Bunds of a sufficient volume (>110% of largest container) shall be used to store chemicals
onsite.
e) Provide tightly closed lids as to avoid leakage of chemicals and chemical waste during transit
–or if accidently knocked over
f) Inspect the storage area regularly to detect if any leakage has occurred or if any of the
containers become defective on a regular basis
g) Provide adequate space for safe and easy handling and inspection of the containers
h) Maintain an up-to-date log of all chemicals and chemical waste stored at the site
i) Separate incompatible materials from one another
j) Suitable and sufficient signage shall be displayed around the storage area
k) Keep the ingress to the chemical storage area secure and restrict access. Vecom supervisors
and nominated Klimaoprema/Sisk/BMS site representative(s) as necessary
l) Ensure suitable and sufficient spill materials are readily available in the storage / work area(s)
and that staff are trained to use them effectively

4.2 Transfer & Transport Precautions

In order to minimise the chance of accidental spillage occurring during the transportation of chemicals
around site, some precautionary measures will be implemented:

a) Use a suitably sized container so as to avoid over-filling


b) Use proper, safe and suitably labelled containers
c) Provide a containment structure (bund) which is able to hold any chemicals that are
accidentally spilled.
d) Use pumps to transfer chemicals instead of decanting / pouring
e) Transfer chemicals in and out of the container using a dip-pipe –not a drain valve –wherever
possible.

Rev: 0

f) Use suitable carrying equipment to transfer the chemical and waste containers from one
location to another
a. Forklift truck and other vehicle drivers should be accompanied by a banksman. An
appropriately sized spill-kit should be readily available along the route in order to
contain any accidental spillages. The forklift driver and banksman should be familiar
with the chemicals being transported and be competent to use any spill materials. The
banksman shall be wearing PPE suitable for handling the chemicals being transported
as per MSDS
b. Transfer of hazardous liquids from/to bulk storage tanks to/from road tanker shall be
controlled by competent tanker operator. Suitable spill materials and PPE shall be
worn by all personnel involved.
g) Chemical deliveries and waste collections to/from site shall only be carried out by competent,
licensed and responsible companies/persons.
h) Vecom Project manager or delegate to contact security before the delivery of chemicals to site

5.1 Proposed Quantities of Spillage Mitigation Measures

A sufficient quantity of spill-kit material shall be made available in order to carry out effective mitigation
measures as and when required. A 1,100 litre spill-kit shall be positioned adjacent to the IBC storage
area. The proposed quantities are sufficient for containing 110% of the largest portable chemical storage
container – and thus are vulnerable to causing environmental damage during transportation. All other
containers are considered “fixed” and will not be moved during the project. These container s are fully
bunded / contained. Spill kit materials shall be replaced immediately after use.
Smaller (50lt) spill-kits shall be positioned strategically around the temporary circulation loop to be
readily available in the instance of any leaks/drips, etc. during the chemical cleaning activities.
Spill-kit material and a drip-tray will be in position whenever a temporary connection is broken.

Two disposable chemical resistant suits (Microchem 3000 –resistant to all chemicals specified on this
project), box of disposable vinyl gloves, two pairs of nitrile gloves, two pairs of safety goggles and two
pairs of chemical resistant wellington boots shall be placed inside each 1,100 litre spill-kit.

5.2 Spills Resulting from Breaking a Connection

All temporary connections shall be flanged and left intact wherever possible. W here this is not possible
(completion of a temporary system, defective seal resulting in a leak, etc.), the breaking of connections
must follow this process:

1) Isolate valves at either side of the flange connection.


2) Position drip-tray beneath flange connection
3) Determine volume of chemical / water that could potentially be trapped in the line between the
two isolated flanges.
4) Provide sufficient spill material for this volume –and have it close at hand.
5) Ensure the operative breaking the flange is wearing suitable PPE as defined in the MSDS for
the activity.
6) Loosen the bolts around the flange just enough to allow any trapped liquids to weep into the
drip-tray in a slow and controlled manner
7) W hen there is no evidence of liquids draining, loosen the bolts further and break the connection.
8) Drain any further liquids into the drip-tray or container and ensure that the lines are completely
empty.

5.3 Spills within the Chem ical Storage Area

IBC’s of concentrate chemical (40% hydrofluoric acid, 30 -35% hydrogen peroxide, 25% Ammonia, etc.)
shall be kept on dedicated IBC bunds at all times. These chemicals are primarily used for dosing/spiking
the circulating solution and as such, transportation of these products should be kept to a minimum.
Transfer of chemicals from these containers shall ALW AYS be done using a dip-pipe and pump (<2 bar
pressure). Under no circumstances shall they be decanted from the drain valve. The drain valve shall
be locked closed and a blind/cap fitted to the outlet.
Transfer of concentrate chemicals shall be tightly controlled and supervised. A stand-by man, dressed
in full, appropriate PPE shall overlook the operation from a safe distance (typically 5 metres) and be
ready to administer assistance as and when necessary. This includes first-aid as well as spill response.
Spill materials shall be close at hand and ready for deployment.

5.4 Spills within the System Area


All temporary connections are subject to multiple inspections and leak tests prior the addition of
chemicals to the system. At key locations around the temporary circulation loop, 50 litre spill kits and
drip-trays shall be positioned. The circulation loop and temporary connections are constantly monitored
by Vecom staff during the process. In the instance of a leak or failed connection, the operative who
discovered it shall notify the pump operator immediately by radio to stop the pump.
Depending on the severity of the leak, the operative shall take one of two courses of action:

1. Small Leak (drip or weeping flange, etc.)


a) Inform the pump operator of the small leak and proposed plan of action
b) Allow the system to drain back to the circulation tank. Open vents if necessary to ensure
there is no chemical trapped in the line.
c) Once the pump operator confirms that the chemical has been recovered, isolate the valves
either side of the leak and follow the procedure defined in section 6.2 for breaking flanged
connections.
d) If any surrounding surfaces / materials / equipment has been in contact with the chemical,
notify Klimaoprema/Sisk site immediately.

2. Significant Leak (completely failed connection or ruptured hose, etc.)


a) Inform the pump operator of the significant leak.
b) Pump operator shall notify all workers in the area of the leak. All non-Vecom staff evacuate
the area.
c) Pump operator notifies Klimaoprema/Sisk site of the incident.
d) Isolate the system up-stream of the failed connection. Allow the down-stream system to
drain back to the circulation tank and/or waste storage tank
e) Vecom staff attend the scene with additional spill materials, contain and clean up the
spillage.

Page 8 of 14
Emergency Response Plan

Rev: 0

f) Assess the location of the incident and determine how much chemical has been lost and
any possible routes that the spillage could have escaped containment (through floor/wall
penetrations, down adjoining pipework or steelwork, into any electrical equipment, etc.)

5.5 Spills onto the Road (during transport of chem icals)


Transportation of chemicals around site (unloading delivery vehicles or relocating to a different location
shall be carried out using a forklift truck. The forklift truck driver shall be trained, competent and
authorised to operate the vehicle. The forklift truck driver shall have read and signed on to the task
specific risk assessment and attended the Dangerous Goods TBT carried out at the start of the activity.
The vehicle shall travel no faster than a walking-pace from its start-point until it reaches the final
destination.
The forklift truck driver shall be familiar with the peculiarities associated with transporting liquid loads
(shifting centre-of-gravity) and take any necessary precautions to minimise the effects.
A banksman provided by Vecom shall accompany the forklift truck, dressed in appropriate PPE as
defined in the MSDS. The banksman shall ensure that there are no obstructions en-route and guide the
driver away from / around potholes, etc.
A 1,100 litre spill kit shall be close at hand at all times.

There are three possible scenarios that could result in leak from an IBC.
1. Defective drain connection:
This is the most common issue with IBC’s and results from an ineffective seal on the butterfly
valve. This type of leak is usually nothing more than a drip and is easily contained using a
suitable screw-cap on the outlet pipe. If this is ineffective, the recessed area around the drain
connection should be packed full of spill-kit material and the IBC taken directly to the nearest
available IBC bund.

2. Defective lid or vent connection:


Although more unusual, if the liquids inside the IBC are disturbed sufficiently (by driving over a
large bump for example), the resulting “wave” in the IBC can escape through the lid or vent
connection(s) on top of the IBC.
Before transporting an IBC, ensure that all the top connections have a lid/cap and are securely
fastened.
If the lid / vent does leak, stop the forklift truck and put down the IBC. The forklift truck should
reverse away from the load, allowing full access to the IBC for the Vecom operative.
Most liquids spilled in this manner will gather in the depression around the lid. Apply spill-kit
material to this area and contain/absorb the chemical. Remove the lid and wipe the internal
surfaces before reattaching to prevent any further chemical from dripping out during the
remainder of the journey. Thoroughly wipe all surfaces of the IBC with spill-kit material to ensure
that no chemical has run down the IBC walls and is left on.

Emergency Response Plan

Rev: 0

3. Puncture to the IBC wall or dropped load (IBC on its side):


By far the most serious of the three scenarios is when the integrity of the IBC is compromised
and cannot be remedied in-situ.
This type of incident will result in a large proportion, if not all, of the IBC contents being spilled.
Upon occurrence, the forklift driver should back his vehicle away from the load and allow full
access to the Vecom employee(s).
The Vecom employee should radio his Supervisor and request immediate assistance, specifying
his location and the nature of the chemical that has been spilled.
The spill should be immediately contained using spill-kit material and the affected area cordoned
off. Priority should be given to sealing any drains – or gulley/routes that lead directly into the
sea.
Once contained, the spill should be completely cleaned up as quickly and as safely as possible.
Klimaoprema/Sisk site should be notified immediately.

6. Im plem entation of Spill Response Plan

6.1 Location of Spill Kits


Spill kits and absorbent materials shall be kept in suitable storage containers, always accessible by on-
duty staff. The containers shall be located in all areas in which chemicals are being stored. Smaller
containers shall be placed in temporary locations during chemical circulation and returned to the Vecom
storage container when not required.

6.2 Staff Training


All Vecom staff have been briefed and formally trained on spill prevention and emergency procedures.
The HSE Manager, or other competent persons, shall conduct task specific toolbox talks to the site
workers on a daily basis.

Pre commissioning passivation of pipework
W aste water treatment and storage
Project : BMS Leiden

Introduction:

During a system passivation, different types of waste water will be released during the
different stages of the Passivation.
To be able to collect this waste water, one (1) 1m3 waste water tank (IBC) will be placed
close to the system to be passivated.

During the passivation of the system, 3 different types of waste water will be released into
the waste water tank.

Overview waste water types:

2.1 First pre-flush water

This flushing water (which does not contain any chemicals) will be released during the pre-
flush of the system and contains mainly loose dirt like sand and possible iron oxides.

This water will be released into the waste water IBC and will be drained into the sewage
system

2.2 Passivation phase waste water

After the passivation phase of the cleaning is finished, the passivation waste water will be
drained into the waste water IBC as much as possible.

2.3 Second phase flush water

After the passivation phase waste water has been drained, the system will be flushed to
remove any remaining passivation fluid untill the water is within set limits.

Approx. 2-3 volumes of water will be needed to perform this flush. This second phase flush
water will be added to the passivation waste water which is already in the waste water tanks.
