5.0 Operational Procedure – Transportation of Pipe Rack Structures (See Attached

Drawings)
5.1 The trailers are mobilised to Belleli Yard and built into the required configuration with
steelwork for transportation of the first Pipe Rack Structure.
5.2 The trailers complete with load-spreading steel works are then manoeuvred beneath the
first Pipe Rack Structure in the required position and aligned.
5.3 Necessary steel works and shims are arranged between the first Item and the trailer in
readiness for lifting.
5.4 Once all trailers are in position and aligned, using integral axle hydraulics the bed of
trailers is raised until the trailers/ steelwork comes in firm contact with the underside of the
first Item.
5.5 A final check is made on all hydraulic and electrical connections and the bed further
raised, lifting the structure clear of the temporary supports.
5.6 Transport lashings are secured between the trailers and the first Item.
5.7 The first Item is manoeuvred through the designated route away from Belleli yard to
Hamriyah Port towards the suitable lay down area for temporary storage.
5.8 Using the integral hydraulics of the trailer, the first Item is lowered and offloaded. The
trailers continue to lower until all weight of the first Item is transferred into its legs.
5.9 Transport lashings are removed and the hydraulic trailers are withdrawn from the first Item
and manoeuvred to Belleli yard for the transportation of the remaining items following the
same procedure stated above.
6.0 Operational Procedure – Load-out and Marine transportation of Pipe Rack

Structures
6.1 A suitable barge arrived and moored stern-on in readiness for the load-out operation of Pipe
Racks structures.
6.2 Engineered load-off/load-out steel plates are installed between the barge and the quay side.
6.3 The hydraulic trailers manoeuvred beneath the first Item and aligned in readiness for
transportation.



6.4 Once in the required transport position the trailer bed is raised using trailer integral axle
hydraulic, until the trailers are in contact with the underside of the module/transport beam
of the first Item.
6.5 The trailers continue to rise, lifting the first Item off the support steel work.
6.7 The barge is prepared for roll-on by pre-ballasting if necessary.
6.8 The hydraulic trailers slowly manoeuvre over the load-out plate and roll-on the Barge. The
barge is ballasted throughout this operation to ensure that the barge deck remains level
with the quayside.
6.9 The barge superintendent following the approved ballasting procedure will instruct the
transport (trailer) supervisor when to move and when to stop as per the ballasting
requirement of the barge.
Throughout the load out operation, constant checks will be made on
a) Barge level with quay and clearance between the load out ramp and quay to
be maintained within ± 75 mm.
b) Barge Trim – to be maintained within 1% of barge length.
c) Barge Heel – to be maintained within 0.5% of barge width.
d) Tide level.
e) Water level in Ballast Tank – by measuring ullage of each tank.
f) Structure Level – to be maintained horizontal at all times. No levelling
activities will be performed during load-out operation. Minor corrections (±
50 mm) may have to be carried out to maintain the Module level above ramp
level, by integral trailer hydraulics.
All of the above are checked by means of visual inspection and barge draft
marks.
In addition the performance of trailers, ballast pumps and mooring lines will
also be monitored.
6.10 Once the trailers have moved the first Item over the stowage position on the barge the
Item/with transport beam is lowered onto pre-positioned steel grillages on the barge deck.
Transport lashings are removed and the trailers are withdrawn from beneath the Item and
rolled-off the barge at this stage.
6.11 The trailers manoeuvre to the second Item for transportation. The same procedure applies
to the remaining structures.



6.12 Sea-fastening are secured between the Items and the barge is made ready for sail away.
The load-out plates are removed from the barge deck.
7.0 Operational Procedure – Load-in and Land transportation to Temporary Storage

Area and to Installation Area
7.1 Prior to arrival of the barge carrying the Items, the trailers are mobilised to DAS Island port
and built into the required configuration for transportation of the Items.
7.2 The barge transporting the Items arrives and is moored at a suitable jetty.
7.3 Steel load-out plates, mats and wedges are positioned as a bridge between the quayside and
barge deck.
7.4 The trailers complete with load-spreading steel works are then manoeuvred over the load-
out plate on to the barge. The barge is ballasted to ensure that the barge deck remains level
with the quayside.
7.5 The hydraulic trailers are aligned beneath the first Item. All sea-fastenings are removed
between the item and the barge.
7.6 Once in the required transport position the trailer bed is raised using trailer integral axle
hydraulic, until the trailers are in contact with the underside of the first Item.
7.7 The trailers continue to rise, lifting the first Item off the support steel work.
7.9 The barge is ballasted as required during the roll-off procedure to ensure that the barge
deck remains level with the quayside.
7.10 The barge superintendent following the approved ballasting procedure will instruct the
transport (trailer) supervisor when to move and when to stop as per the ballasting
requirement of the barge.
Throughout the load in operation, constant checks will be made on
a) Barge level with quay and clearance between the load-out ramp and quay to
be maintained within ± 75 mm.
b) Barge Trim – to be maintained within 1% of barge length.
c) Barge Heel – to be maintained within 0.5% of barge width.
d) Tide level.
e) Water level in Ballast Tank – by measuring ullage of each tank.



f) Structure Level – to be maintained horizontal at all times. No levelling

activities will be performed during load-in operation. Minor corrections (± 50
mm) may have to be carried out to maintain the Module level above ramp
level, by integral trailer hydraulics.
All of the above are checked by means of visual inspection and barge draft
marks.
In addition the performance of trailers, ballast pumps and mooring lines will
also be monitored.
7.11 The trailers slowly manoeuvre over the load-out plate and roll-off the barge.
7.12 The trailers slowly manoeuvre away from barge and to Das Island port temporary off
loading area.
7.13 The first item is lowered on to the temporary off loading area using the integral axle
hydraulic of the trailer. The transport lashings are then removed.
7.14 The trailers manoeuvre back to barge for transporting the second item. The same procedure
applies to the rest of the items.
7.15 The last item to be offloaded to the barge will be transported directly to the specified
delivery area near the foundation along the specified transport route in readiness for
installation.
7.16 The trailers manoeuvre back to the temporary lay down area in readiness for transportation
of the remaining Items to each designated installation areas.
8.0 The Operational Procedure –Load Out Abort
8.1 The object of this method statement is to describe the operations to be implemented if it is
required to abort the load out procedure.
8.2 The decision to abort the load out and instigate the retrieval procedure will be taken by the
ALE load out manager in consultation with the nominated representative from MEPI. This
decision will be made only if it is safer to abort than continue with the load out operation.
8.3 The responsibility for performing the retrieval operation will be with the ALE load out
manager.
8.4 In principle the retrieval operation will take place after High Water on the falling tide. To
enable this to occur, it will be necessary to ballast the barge up against the falling tide to
maintain the level with the quay.



8.5 Tractive effort for the retrieval operation will be provided by the ALE transporters in-built
hydraulic drive system.
8.6 The actual retrieval operation will follow in principle a complete reversal of the load out
procedure. It will be necessary to reverse the ballast pumps by switching hoses, which can
be achieved within the elapsed time prior to retrieval start. Similar barge control methods
and parameters to those imposed on the load out will apply.
