GROUTING SYSTEM

The system is comprised of four major components:

- Power pack/pump skid
- Mixing bowl skid
- Silo
- Turn-table

The system is normally used with bulk cement supply from vessel P tanks or silos but
can be used with bagged cement if required.

 1. MIXING BOWL SKID

.
Pic. 2: Mixing Bowl.

The dimension of Mixing Bowl Skid: 1,760 x 1,400 x 2,700 mm x 2.0 tons
Mixing and Pumping capacity exceed 6m3 per hoer however pumping into grout bag
should not exceed 4m3per hour.
The Grout Mixing Bowl Skid is comprised of cement and water jet mixing head, inlet and
outlet piping along with recirculation and overboard pumping valves. The Mixing Bowl
capacity is 1.4 to 2.4 m3, dependent on the system.

System certification includes in date MPI and Load Tests.

2. ISO BULK CEMENT SILO

TOS’s ISO Bulk Cement Silos are a silo for transport and storage of bulk powdered
cement. They are manufactured to the ASME-VIII-Div 1 rules for the construction of
vessels and are classified as ISO Type 20B4 (20ft Dry Bulk Pressurized Horizontal
Containers).
As the silos are in gauge 20ft standard ISO configuration they are easily transported by
conventional shipping container lines.. Silos are provided with VR Certification. TOS is
able to provide 1 sizes of silo 20.5T.

Required Air Supply Rate - 20 m3/min
Loading and Unloading of the Silo is via 4” (100mm) outlet, NPT thread fitted
with 4” Camlock adaptor (male).
System certification includes in date MPI and Load test.

3. GROUTBAG ROV INSTALLATION TURN-TABLE

The TOS Grout bag ROV Installation Turn-Table is utilized to deliver Fabric Formwork
(Grout bags) to the seabed on freespan rectification projects where remote operated
vehicles (ROV) are the preferred installation system.

The TOS Turn-Table has been designed and fabricated by TOS as an efficient method of
rectifying deep water pipeline freespans.

The Turn-Table is launched and recovered via the work vessel deck crane or a A-Frame
system. The ROV through interaction with the Turn-Table is able to access Grout bags
packaged on the Turn-Table and position them at the desired support location under the
pipeline. A survey beacon can be positioned on the Turn-Table for accurate placement on
seabed. The ROV is able to interchange grout supply hoses on the Turn-Table via the
unique TOS Quick Connect Box enabling the filling of multi staged / multi phased Grout
bags.
