4.0 SPOOLPIECE INSTALLATION OPERATIONS
This section covers the setting out and installation of the tie in spoolpiece at the Dolphin
A platform.
4.1 Initial Situation at Site
Prior to the deployment of the spoolpiece the installed 24” pipeline will have been flooded
and final metrology completed.
The Dolphin A spool is constructed in two parts, Spoolpiece North and Spoolpiece South,
for subsequent connection on the seabed.
Spoolpiece North requires the final length adjustments to be carried out on deck prior to
deployment, these adjustments are dependant on the results from final metrology and are
described in more detail on sketch No. 03007 / 01.
The spoolpieces will arrive on the transit barge, spoolpiece North in three separate pieces
and spoolpiece South completed and fitted with lift clamps, ready for transferring to the
DSV deck for stowage. The individual pieces will be lifted onboard the Discovery in
readiness for final measurement , cutting and welding out to complete the spoolpiece
according to the metrology.
Further details of Metrology and spool make-up can be found in the relevant procedures.

Approved
Procedure
By: A. Mcwhirter
Project No.: L2368
4.2 Method of Deployment
The Dolphin A Spool is to be deployed in two sections.
Spoolpiece South , connecting into the existing jacket riser flange, will be the first
spoolpiece deployed and will be installed by means of a guide wire attached to a clump
weight at the outboard end. The spoolpiece will be deployed to the seabed and pulled in
to mate the flanges at the riser connection.
Spoolpiece North will then be deployed and installed by use of the pre-installed guide wire
at the spoolpiece South end and a flange catcher on the mating pipeline end.
Details of the guide wire follower and flange catcher may be found in the appendix to this
document.
4.3 Preparatory works
- Spoolpiece South to have blind flanges , gaskets and existing stud bolts removed, If
fitted. Temporary flange protection is to be attached to protect the flange faces from
damage or contamination.
- Spoolpiece lift clamps to be pre-rigged ready for lifting.

(Ref. Spoolpiece South Lift Rigging Layout Dwg. No. OCE-0184-002-02 )

5.0 CONTINGENCY MEASURES
5.1 Seabed Conditions

22
Approved
Procedure
By: A. Mcwhirter
Project No.: L2368
Prior to deployment of the spoolpieces an ROV survey of the worksite is to be

conducted. Depending on the results of this survey certain remedial works may have to
be carried out to ensure correct alignment of the installed items.
These contingency actions are summarised below :
5.1.1 Seabed level high at jacket riser location
If the results of the survey indicate that seabed is high at riser location, provision must
be made for dredging the area local to the spoolpiece installation.
In dredging, sufficient clearance must be provided under the riser flange for the
spoolpiece flange to clear, when pulled in. In addition, depending on the depth to be
removed, dredging may be required along the installed line of the spoolpiece to prevent
hogging of the spoolpiece.
Where the seabed is cleared local to flanges for access purposes, reinstatement is to
be carried out at the completion of the works.
5.1.2 Seabed level low at jacket riser location
If the results of the survey indicate that seabed is low at riser location, provision must be
made for installing sandbags in the area local to the spoolpiece installation to enable the
spoolpiece flange to mate with the riser flange.
5.1.3 Pipeline orientation
If the results of the survey indicate that the orientation of the pipeline is not suitable for
connection of the spoolpiece, provision must be made to correct the position of the pipeline.
In this instance it will be necessary to deploy the H Frame to move the pipeline to an
acceptable position, all in accordance with the “ Pipeline Moving Contingency
Procedure”.
