ICT Project Support is in charge of the ICT Plan issue and revision.
ICT Project Support is the sole interface between the Project and the ICT Department branches:
6.1 Architecture
Contractor ICT Facilities are based on different computer technologies, covering three layers in general
systems architecture.
1. Enterprise application servers, for corporate management.
2. Departmental application servers, like CAD systems or project control applications, to support
disciplines and job teams.
3. End User workstations and software productivity tools.
Using intelligent communications services this network inter-operates with clients systems, partners,
suppliers and other third parties, accordingly to project needs.
WAN Network
Communications with overseas offices and major site locations are extensively assured by dedicated
satellite links. The various Internet and inter-company gateways use telecommunications links with
bandwidth from 128 Kbps to 10 Mbps.
Firewalls on the external interfaces provide a front-line security. Network protocols include TCP/IP, ICA,
SMTP, etc.
The Electronic mail is the corporate-wide mail system supported by the Microsoft Exchange application
software, available to every network user.
All systems are protected by comprehensive virus scanning, based on NAI McAfee Total Virus Defense
products, and Trend Micro™ InterScan™ Messaging Security Suite for email scanning and antispam filtering.
6.3 Intranet
Intranet serves as a communication tool via the Corporate Web Site. Internal users have full access to the
data; access to commercially confidential data, such as the Standards Library, is restricted for external
consultations.
All SAIPEM sites are connected through an IP MPLS network that supports data connection, voice and video
communications (see Global Network Architecture chapter 6.).
This allows that the following sites listed below will be able to communicate between each other without any
further requirements.
Contractor implements a number of security systems for IT systems to prevent production loss. An IT system
consists in three elements:
Internet Access
Physical access
Physical access to Contractor offices is controlled by the use of an ID card. Computer rooms, where
servers are located, are considered as a restricted area and only a few people from ICT Department
can reach them. They are equipped with air-cooling system and a secured power supply.
Access to workstations
This access is secured using standard logon procedure. Even a reboot of the system doesn't give
the capability to bypass this level.
Hardware is standard PC based and in case of disaster, they can be easily replaced from local
distributors.
Safety cable are strongly recommended and provided for laptop.
It's forbidden to install any kind of software without the agreement of ICT Department.
Virus protection
6.8 Back-up
The backup of the data will be assumed by the Contractor’s corporate tools using tapes on existing devices.
General purpose
The workstation drives are never backed-up. So each user should store its own data onto
dedicated servers using shared resources, MDR, and so on. From Monday to Thursday, an
incremental backup secures the difference with the previous day. On Friday, the servers are fully
backed-up. At the end of the month and at the end of the year, a specific backup is run on
dedicated tapes.
Responsibilities
The IT project team is responsible of installing, manipulating and archiving the tapes on sites. This
operation is entrusted to the person in charge of the backups and verifies every morning the status
of backup of the previous day or week-end.
Tape storage
Every day, tapes are stored in another building. Every Tuesday morning, tapes are taken away
and stored by a sub-contractor in an external and specific building, responding to our security
specifications.
Contractor has developed a Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plan in order to provide guarantees
of data integrity and prevention of business disruptions.
The Plan and the related practices are regularly updated, implementing available market technologies for
data replication and application clustering.
Tape Libraries are segregated from the server farm, located in a separate building, as well as the backup
store, where data backup tapes are filed. These alternative sites are often connected to Contractor HQ’s with
primary and back-up communication links.
Contractor has developed restore procedures that are periodically tested and validated.
At Construction Sites, Contractor guarantees the data integrity as well. Alternative sites for servers and
backup devices are located in the temporary facilities offices.
A disaster recovery procedure is available in order to restore main applications according to their priority.
Users may not gain access to IT systems or information without the required authorization.
User name
All users must use a personal user name assigned by the Operation Team for network access.
Password construction
No personal identifiers should be included (i.e. name, surname, date of birth, etc.) that can be
linked to the user; use of complete or easy to guess words should also be avoided.
The password should not repeat any characters in succession.
Password Maintenance
o Passwords must be kept secret and should not be kept in places or ways that make it easy for
other people to find it
o At the first logon, the system will advise the user to change the password
o Passwords expire every 60 days
o New passwords must differ from the 6 previous ones
Password Lock/Unlock
The user account will be locked out after 5 failed attempts to access the system.
If an account is locked, the user must call their ICT helpdesk to unlock the account.
Workstation security
Access Restriction:
- Access to shared folders and printers are granted upon request. FORM_SCNL_ICT_004_E
Server Access Request Form should be filled up and signed by department head or Project
manager. Moreover, Department Head/Project Manager has the sole discretion on the type of
access that a user must have, be it Read-only, Read and Write or Full Access permission.
- SCNL shall remove network and application accounts after six months without use.
- No personal laptop shall be allowed to get connected to the SCNL network. If this would not be
avoided due to the urgency of usage of data and other resources and delays of company
approved requests then the user must comply to have his/her laptop configured by SCNL to
company standards applying the necessary builds, antivirus application, and security patches.
Workstation/Desktop Security:
- Use of external USB storage device is activated upon request. Duly signed
FORM_SCNL_ICT_001_E Removable Media and USB port Activation Request Form is used to
activate the access. This will restrict possible network intrusion and malicious program
propagation coming from end users using the USB device.
- The user must lock the workstation every time he needs to leave by simultaneously pressing the
Ctrl+Alt+Del then Enter key.
- When the workstation is left unlocked accidentally, it will lock automatically after 10 minutes
without activity.
- Application sessions (SAP for example) will close automatically after thirty minutes of inactivity.
Internet:
- Access to the Internet is exclusively for work purposes and will be restrained during the week
business hours.
- Internet account holders must keep themselves logon and password and never give to anyone
for whatsoever reason. Abuse on the use of Internet will mean cancellation of one’s account.
- Keep your mailbox tidy, deleting unwanted messages. Download messages and saved into a
personal folder on local disk (regular backup of this personal folder is advised);
- Be aware of messages of dubious origin of from unknown addresses or sender. Above all,
never open attachments to these messages because they may contain viruses.

7 ICT Support
The service desk is the single contact point for the customers to record their problems. It will try to resolve it
if there is a direct solution or will create an incident. Our help-desk service provides frontline user support
from 7.00am to 7.00pm CET. Systems, network monitoring and support are on-call for emergency back-up.
Issues can be escalated to second or third level which is effective to respond to some more complex issues.
During project construction phase the main network infrastructure for Contractor will be located at Tunu
worksite. WAN connection towards the Contractor’s HQ in Milan, Italy is connected with a satellite
communication also known as VSAT. A dedicated microwave connection will be installed on the different
worksites at Benisede, Ogbotobo and Opukushi worksites toward Contractor worksite at Tunu. This will
extend the data and voice services to the Contractors’ employee to be assigned on this work location. Most
of the infrastructural servers such as mailing systems, Logon domain and application servers will be residing
at Contractor’s office at Tunu worksite. Contractor Tunu worksite will become the infrastructural hub site for
SSAGS project. Communication mast may be in need to install if the Company existing mast is far from the
location of the Contractor offices otherwise we can request permission from the Company to install on their
existing communication tower.
7.4 Contractor’s Propose WAN connectivity at Benisede, Opukushi and Ogbotobo Worksites
Microwave connection on the Contractor worksites towards the Tunu hub site will be in Point-to-point radio
link. Radio communication frequency is proposed to be running under licensed band. In such circumstances,
radio frequency conflict with the Company existing communication will enable the Contractor to change to
license frequency. The contractor will conduct a survey and frequency sweep with the area corresponding
with cloud gases that may be present toward the LOS path from the different worksites to contractor Tunu
hub site. ATEX certified radio devices will be proposed to be use if the presence of gas cloud will be
detected. Communication mast may be in need to install if the Company existing mast is far from the location
of the Contractor offices otherwise we can request permission from the Company to install on their existing
communication tower. All necessary information shall be submitted to the Company for Tower use
application processing.
Waiting for more information related to office layout. Information should be provided by SSAGS PMT.
Waiting for more information related to office layout. Information should be provided by SSAGS PMT.
The contractor LAN network is design to have a gigabit Ethernet backbone. VLAN technology is
implemented on the new network infrastructure in order to segregate the network broadcast. Layer 3
switching is implemented to have a routing capability within VLAN segment known as Inter-VLAN route.
Layer 2 switching is implemented in server virtualization technology wherein data traffic where concentrated
on the specific network segment wherein data traffic is not routable. Voice services will be running with IP
telephony wherein voice traffic is shared on the data port eliminating the need for a separate cabling for the
voice infrastructure. Star network is the type of topology applied on the network design for SSAGS project.
The contractor network on these worksites was only an extension of contractor’s network at Tunu site. Most
of the network resources reside at Tunu contractor’s hub while client desktop computers will be present on
each local area network at Benisede, Opukushi and Ogbotobo. Optionally, a local file and print server can be
installed to support local print and file sharing needs for Contractor employee working on their assign
