Bulwarke and timber sheeting and barriers shall be provided as necessary to protect the cargo from damaging seas and weather. Final Check ‘The Installation CONTRACTOR shall, in conjunction with the COMPANY and the FABRICATOR, check that all items, are sufficiently well supported to withstand shipment without movement, that there are no loose items of equipment, and the potentially loose items (such as valve handled, etc.) are securely fastened in position. Prior to load-out the Installation CONTRACTOR shall 1) verify the critical ‘as-built’ dimensions. notify the COMPANY of any discrepancies between ‘design’ and ‘as-built’ dimensions. recomend remedial measures, if required, to avoid any delay offshore. for jackets, ensure that all valves are securely closed, and for jackets and decks, that all slings, shackles and rigging platforms provided by the Installation CONTRACTOR have been installed in accordance with the requirements of the COMPANY. Ensure that the jacket legs, bracings and any attached buoyancy tanks are water tight. Prior to load-out, the Fabricator shall prepare a detailed schedule for module weighing. This shali be submitted to the Company for approval before module weighing takes place. SARAWAK SHELL BERHAD SABAH SHELL PETROLEUM COMPANY LIMITED STANDARD ENGINEERING SPECIFICATIONS Packaging of Loose Items Load-out includes the packaging and other protection (e.g. watertightness) of all loose and vulnerable items of material and equipment not forming an intergral protected part of a structure at the time of loadout, to the satisfaction of the COMPANY. Packaging shall be done in accordance with good practice; stout timber or steel boxes or crates shall be used and shall be strapped by minimum 3/4 inch wide steel strapping on completion of packaging. ‘The contents shell be clearly stated on the outside of each package and a complete inventory of each and every package and its detailed contents shall be made by the Fabricator and submitted to the COMPANY and the Installation CONTRACTOR prior to the completion of load-out. LOAD-OUT Drawings and Calculations The FABRICATOR shail be responsible for: (a) Preparing fully detailed load-out procedures . with engineering calculations and drawings, showing the manner in which he intends the fabricated structural components to be loaded-out. The drawings shall clearly show barge dimensions, barge above deck fixed equipment, barge skid beam, required position(s) of jacket(s), deck(s), piles conductors, fender(s) etc in accordance with transportation Layout plan(s) submitted by the Installation CONTRACTOR. Submitting four (4) copies of the "load-out' procedures, calculations and drawings showing the Fabricator's preferred load-out arrangement, to the COMPANY for approval, NOT later than four (4) weeks before the date of load-out. Issuing to the COMPANY six (6) copies of the final approved drawings after which the COMPANY will return to the Fabricator an approved or marked-up (to be revised by Fabricator accordingly) copy of the first submission.
