10. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
The flowchart presented in this section indicates the planned sequence of operations. The
implemented offshore sequence of operations may have to be revised to accommodate
unforeseen site or weather conditions, in order to avoid unnecessary vessel stand-by or site
access conflict.

Since the task plans are principally live working documents, the task plans may be revised offshore
at the time of the installation, following discussions between Offshore Manager, Field / Project
Engineer and Client representative onboard. Any procedural changes will only take place
according to SAIPEM Management of Change Procedure.

supervisor, divers and surface
tenders are to maintain watch on
weather and sea conditions.
Deteriorating conditions are to be
reported and diving operations
suspended when conditions are
unsafe.
