When establishing the orientation and space requirements of facilities, the following considerations should be taken into account. Safe Area To maintain the integrity of the Safe Area, non-hazardous facilities shall be located upwind and upcurrent (wind and water current are generally on the same direction) of hydrocarbon and other hazardous facilities to ensure that: 1) In the event of a major gas leak prevailing wind will direct fire, smoke, and ‘escaping hydrocarbon gases away from the Safe Area as well as away from the facilities. 2) Inthe event of a major oil spill prevailing water current will direct pool fires away from the Safe Area as well as away from the facilities. Air Intakes and Airlocks 1) HVAC Air Intakes HVAC air intakes shall be located upwind of hydrocarbon facilities and away from generator exhausts to prevent ingress of hydrocarbon gases and hot gases into the Living Quarters, Control Rooms and other air-conditioned rooms where personnel have to remain most of the time during normal operation and even during emergency. GE G DoaumentsiGE A953 161GE A36514 Rev Odoc. WGN TECHNIP-COFLEXIP cee ies) a) GUIDE DOCUMENT Page 100161 FOR OFFSHORE PLOT PLAN 5.1.3 5.1.4 5.1.5 2) Generator Air Intakes Generator air intakes shall be located upwind of hydrocarbon or away from hazardous area to ensure a clean air inlet and prevent hydrocarbon vapour ingestion that could lead to an uncontrolled combustion. 3) Air Locks Airlocks should preferably be located upwind of hydrocarbon facilities. These should be located as far away and should not be oriented towards the hazardous area. Ignition Sources Potential ignition sources shall be located upwind of hydrocarbon facilities to ensure that in the event of leaks, prevailing will not direct hydrocarbon gases towards ignition sources such as: 1) Direct Fired Heaters 2) Gas Turbine Generators 3) Diesel Generators 4) Firewater Pumps 5) Sparks from Generator Exhausts 6) Electrical Equipment 7) Instrument Equipment 8) Telecommunications Equipment 9) Workshops 10) Living Quarters Major Liquid Hydrocarbon Inventories Pool fires can occur when liquid hydrocarbons leak onto sea surface and ignite that are likely to threaten the structural integrity of the Platform jackets. Hydrocarbon risers, wellheads and equipment handling high volume hydrocarbon inventories shall be located as far as downwind as possible as these facilities can leak and cause pool fires Hydrocarbon Risers Hydrocarbon risers can create gas clouds and cil spills of considerable size upon rupture. Locate hydrocarbon risers as far as downwind as possible.

Other layout considerations include: 1) The bisector of the 210° obstacle free sector should be positioned into the prevailing wind so that the helicopter could take advantage to reduce the impact to the Platform by approaching opposite the wind direction. When hydrocarbon facilities are located downwind, helicopter approach/departure perpendicular to the prevailing wind direction is generally an acceptable alternative. 2) The 210° obstacle free sector extends outwards to a distance of 1km within which no obstacles are permitted above the helideck level. In a Platform Complex, this requirement should be carefully taken into account to ensure that the helideck is located on the highest structure. 3) Helideck shall be provided with unobstructed 5:1 falling gradient below the landing area to allow the helicopter to recover from the possibility of loss of height due to power failure during the latter stages of the approach or early stages of take-off. The falling obstacle limitation can be taken outboard of the 1500mm wide safety net. 4) Helicopter approaching and departing the Platform shall not be restricted by high heat radiation from flare radiation, hydrocarbon vents and hot gases from generator exhausts. 5) The helideck shall not be located within the extents of the hazardous areas. Boat Landing Location (Refer Appendix H for Typical Supply Boat Clearance) 1) Supply boats should normally approach against the prevailing wind and water current directions to reduce the possible risk of impact to the Platform structure upon power loss. Ideally boat landing location should be located parallel to the prevailing wind and water current directions but it is also acceptable to locate the boat landing perpendicular provided the supply boat can approach against the prevailing wind and water directions. 2) The boat fender should extend away from the jacket structure to avoid collision between the topside structure and supply boat mast. At least 1500mm clearance from the topside structure and the supply boat mast is generally considered adequate to compensate the supply boat movement during transfer operations. DocumanIGE ASSO YOGE A’SIT4 Rev Odor ‘LCN TECHNIP-COFLEXIP ae ee GUIDE DOCUMENT Page 120f61 FOR OFFSHORE PLOT PLAN 5.1.8 5.1.10 3) At the early stage of the layout, the supply boat details must be requested from the Clients to support layout studies. Flare Location The location of flare downwind of the facilities would ensure that prevailing wind will direct un-ignited hydrocarbon gases (in case of a flare failure), toxic gas concentrations, and hot gas streams away from the Safe Area, air intakes, crane cab, operating areas and adjacent Platform. On the contrary an ignited flare is also a potential ignition source that could pose as a hazard when prevailing wind would direct hydrocarbon leaks towards the ignited flare. Downwind location should not be considered unless the flare is high or far (as in the case of a remote flare) to avoid risk. The location of flare perpendicular the prevailing wind is generally the preferred option as it eliminates most of the major risks. Radiation calculations will be required to establish the exclusion zones for supply boat and helicopter approach as well the relative location of the flare stack away from the facilities. Vent Boom Location The vent boom should preferably be located downwind or perpendicular of the Platform to ensure that prevailing wind will aid the dispersion of hydrocarbon gases away from ignition sources and away from the facilities. Dispersion calculations will be required to establish the exclusion zones for supply boat and helicopter approaches as well the relative location of hazardous vents away for the facilities Generator Exhausts The orientation of generator exhausts shall ensure that prevailing will direct hot gases away from the Safe Area, cranes cabs, helideck, operating areas, HVAC air intakes, generator air intakes. Exhausts should be taken at least 3000mm to the edge of non-hazardous area to ensure sparks (glowing particle of carbon) from generators may not present a source of ignition that could drift towards the hydrocarbon facilities. Generator exhausts are generally fitted with spark arrestors with a tail pipe located at least 4500mm away from air intake to avoid cross flow of fresh air and hot gas. Gas Turbine Generators and Direct Fired Heaters generally burn toxic gases. The characteristics of exhaust stacks should be arranged to ensure that toxic concentrations of pollutants should not drift or settle at Safe Area and other operating areas.

Dri ing / Jack-up Rig Approach In case of emergency, the Platform orientation should allow the vessel to evacuate the Platform safely by drifting away from the facilities with the aid of the prevailing wind and water current, Subsea Pipeline and Cable Routing The possibility of damage to the subsea pipeline and cable should be minimised by ensuring that these are routed away from the Platform crane drop zones, boat landing, Jack-up Rig approach and vessel mooring points. Platform Crane The Platform Crane should be located on the same side as the Boat Landing where supply boats approach during normal transfer operations. Solar Panel Location In order to maximise power generation efficiency, the solar arrays should face the sun radiation on the east and west directions where the sun rises and sets respectively. Cantilevered platforms are generally provided to allow supporting, inspection and periodic cleaning of solar arrays. The location and elevation of the solar arrays must take into account the following: 1) No structures or equipment should protrude and oreate shadow above the solar arrays 50 as to reduce its power generation efficiency. 2) The solar arrays should be located away and well clear from the 180° falling obstacle sector of helicopter approach and departure. Install jon Requirements The Platform orientation should have the provision for a vessel approach to allow installation of major future facilities without posing any significant obstacles from subsea pipelines, flare / vent booms, interconnecting bridges, crane and other sensitive facilities.

Factors dictating the deck elevations include: Lowest Deck The topside structures should be located above the wave zones. Non-cylindrical structural members often pose as a geometrical constraint in setting the Lowest Deck elevation. To optimise the cost topside deck structures, it is normal to provide a 1500mm minimum air gap from the bottom of the lowest deck structure and above the 100-year wave crest. Riser ESDV Elevation The Riser ESDV should be located above the 100-year wave crest and preferably above 1500mm air gap to protect this from forces imposed by the highest wave impact. It is also acceptable to locate the riser ESDV within the air gap provided this is supported to withstand the loads imposed by the 10-year wave. Drain Tank Elevation To allow a gravity collection of effluents from the Platform, the Drain Tank shall be located at the lowest level of the Platform. These should preferably be located above the air gap of 100-year wave crest when it is practical. In most of cases the ional jacket legs and Iifting/ transportation limitations of topside facilities would require these to be located within the highest wave zone. In this case these must be supported to withstand the loads imposed by the 10-year wave crest, Boat Landing Elevation The boat landing structures are normally designed into different stages of elevations. to cater for variations in water levels. Utility Connection at Boat Landing Utility connections at Boat landing Level should be located above the splash zone to protect these from potential corrosion and marine growth.

Limitations generally involve lifting weight and Platform elevation. In setting the Platform elevation ensure these limitations are in compliance with the installation barge requirements. Headroom for Drill g and Workover Operations Sufficient headroom shall be provided above the Wellheads/Christmas trees and conductors for the installation of Blowout Preventer (BOP) during driling and wireline operations. The elevation of the top deck at Wellbay shall be well clear from the bottom of the dril floor of the cantilever Jack-up Rig. Process Requirements The vertical relationships between equipment shail be considered to ensure that Platform Deck heights meet the process requirements such as pump NPSH, gravity flow, sloping lines and no pockets. FACILITIES LAYOUT Segregation of Equipment is inherently safe means of reducing the probability of hazardous events from occurring and if not, preventing initiating event from escalating. As a minimum requirement, units generating ignition sources should be segregated from fuel sources. Greater separation distances between equipment provide greater protection and should be used where space allows. However, the compactness of offshore platform often leads to physical barriers rather than separation distance in order to reduce the escalation of potential events. Hazardous Area The principal aim of Hazardous Area Classification is to avoid ignition of flammable hydrocarbons by minimising the probability of coincidence of a flammable atmosphere and a source of ignition. Hazardous areas are further subdivided into zones progressively decreasing away from the Safe Area based on the degree of pressure and volume of flammable inventories. Classification into zones forms the basis for selection and protection of electrical equipment in the area concerned and for the safe positioning of other potential sources of ignition (e.g. fired heaters, internal combustion engines, etc.) taking into account of the gas releases that can occur in normal operation. It is not the aim of Hazardous Area Classification to guard against the ignition of flammable vapour from releases with a very low probability of occurrence, such as catastrophic failures, though these must be considered during the layout stage. Types of Hazardous Zones are generally classified into: (GE C\Doounents\GE AIS 14\GE ASSSI4 Rev Odo UCN TECHNIP-COFLEXIP ae es GUIDE DOCUMENT Page 16 0161 FOR OFFSHORE PLOT PLAN Zone 0: Where an explosive atmosphere is or likely to be continuously present. Zone 1: Where an explosive atmosphere is likely to be present in normal condition of operation Zone 2: Where an explosive atmosphere is likely to be present in abnormal condition of operation and if it occurs in normal condition it will be short duration only. 614 Wellhead Area The highest pressures encountered on an offshore platform will normally be the wellheads. Uncontrolled flow from the wellheads can be very difficult to contain. Therefore, protection of wellheads shall receive a high degree of protection by: 1) Providing adequate ventilation. The area should be as open as possible with a minimum two sides of the structure open. Grating at wellhead deck should be maximised to the extent possible to aid gas dispersion as well as to prevent mud spillage from flooding the operating area during drilling operations. 2) Locating the wellheads far away from ignition sources, fuel storage, and rotating equipment. 3) Protecting these from dropped objects during drilling and workover operations by providing a plated structural support above the Christmas trees. 4) Locating the conductors preferably within the jackets or outboard the jacket with a provision for a conductor fenders to protect these from the impact of Drilling / Workover Rigs as well as from support vessels approaching the platform. The location and configuration of the Wellhead Area is also influenced by other factors: 1) These are located where adequate structural support can be provided for the conductors, drilling and workover equipment. 2) The wellhead must be accessible by Drilling and Workover Rigs. The drilling rig options shall be considered and evaluated during the early stage of the design. 8) The conductor spacing must be adequate to accommodate the access requirements for the Christmas trees to be used as well as to meet the requirements of the driling program. Typically the drilling rig must be able to reach all the slots without requiring the vessel to move to another location to drill slots located at extreme locations. Removable hatch covers shall provided over well slots for Drilling and Workover operations. (GE C\DocumensiGE AS 141GE A’SE14 Rev O doe LCN TECHNIP-COFLEXIP ao GUIDE DOCUMENT Page 17 0f61 FOR OFFSHORE PLOT PLAN The production and test manifold location shall take into account the required flowline flexibility to compensate the wellhead movement and pipe thermal expansion. 6.1.2 Risers and ESDV Location 1) Riser Location Risers contain the major hydrocarbon inventory in the platform. These can create gas clouds and oil spills of considerable size upon rupture. Locate hydrocarbon risers as far as downwind as possible to: = Take advantage of the prevailing wind to disperse hydrocarbon gases away from the platform. + Take advantage of the prevailing water current to cause oil spills to drift away from the platform. = Naturally keep the risers far away from the Safe Area and known ignition sources. The possibility of damage to the subsea pipeline should be minimised by ensuring these are: = Routed away from the platform crane drop zones so as to keep these away from dropped object during routine transfer operations. * Routed away from boat landing to protect these from supply boat impact upon power loss and should the vessel losses draft on a shallow water. * Routed away from the jack-up rig approach and vessel mooring points to protect from jack-up legs and during drilling, workover and maintenance. Hydrocarbon subsea pipeline shall not be routed close to the Safe Area due to the consequences of considerable gas leaks and pool fires that can occur and cause a life threatening impact to the platform. 2) Riser ESDV's (Emergency Shutdown Valves) Location The Riser ESDV's primarily isolates the pipeline inventory from the topside facilities during emergency. In order to achieve maximum ESDV reliability ensure that: + These are located on an operating level that can easily be accessed at all limes with sufficient area and lifting facilities to allow quick operation, inspection, testing and maintenance. = These are adequately protected from environment by preferably locating these above the 10-year wave crest and within the extent of 1500mm-air gap. This scheme usually leads to higher jacket structure that is prohibitively GE C\Deeuments\GE A259 WIGE ASSIS REVO dee LCN TECHNIP-COFLEXIP oe en GUIDE DOCUMENT Page 180161 FOR OFFSHORE PLOT PLAN expensive. An acceptable alternative is to locate these within the air gap provided these are supported to withstand the loads imposed by the 100- year wave. + These are located below the lowest level of the platform and close to the base of the vertical riser in order to isolate the majority of the pipeline inventory from topside incident. = These are located out of the path of projectiles emitted from an explosion of adjacent equipment. 6.1.3 Launchers and Receivers 1) Launcher and Receiver shall be located in a well ventilated areas with their doors facing outboard of the platform and away from adjacent critical facilities to reduce the possibility of any projectiles from hitting personnel, adjacent ‘equipment and the Safe Area in the event of a closure failure. 2) Lifting facilities should be taken into account with due consideration for space requirement for handling and storage of pigging tools. Horizontal launchers and receivers suitable for intelligent pigging with nominal size 12” and above are generally provided with lifting facilities. 3) The space requirements for pigging operation must be considered such as: * Handling and storage of pigging tools "Riser bends Approximate riser bend radii to allow passage of tools can be taken initially as: Foam Pigs and Spheres- 3D is generally used Intelligent Tools 6D-10D for sizes 4" to 8" 5D for sizes 10’-16" 3D for sizes 18” and above 4) Elevations should be kept to a minimum but of sufficient height to allow inventories to be drained. The bottom of the closure end should be at least 700mm from the deck to facilitate handling of pigging tools. 5) Where launchers and receivers are located adjacent to each other, a minimum clearance of 500mm between should be maintained between valves and flanges to allow adequate access for wrench and bolt tensioners. 6) When bi-directional pigging is required the launchers may require a longer space. GE C\OocumentsGE A259 1AGE AI591¢Rev dec. LCN TECHNIP-COFLEXIP oo fs oS GUIDE DOCUMENT Page t9o161 FOR OFFSHORE PLOT PLAN 7) Spheres may hold up or be destroyed if barred tees are used. The space requirement for sphere tees should be considered when spheres are to be used during pigging operation. 6.1.4 Production Separators Production Separators generally contain high volume hydrocarbon inventories. These should be located away from ignition sources and near the wellheads. These shall be protected from mechanical damage by locating these below the lowest structure to the extent practical. The normal flow pattern is frequently from the wellneads to the separators, so placing the two areas near each other should simplify interconnecting piping. 615 Gas Compressors 1) Gas compressors and its associated facilities such as scrubbers, coolers and 9 represent the highest gas release that create potential hazard due to ignition associated with rotating equipment. Ensure that these are located on a well-ventilated area to allow prevailing wind to disperse hydrocarbon gases away from the area. 2) Compressors having horizontal split casing will require removal of top casing to be removed before the rotor assembly can be lifted. The maintenance envelope requires considerable space taking into account the weight and space requirement for removable spools, top casing and the rotor assembly. 3) Compressors having axial split type will require removal of the rotor assembly without necessarily dismantling removable spools or other piping components. The maintenance envelope requires less space as horizontal split casing type but care must taken so as not to obstruct the rotor withdrawal area. 4) Compressor bearings receive lubricating oil from the lube oil console. These consoles maybe standalone unit or directly mounted on the compressor package. The console is package equipment supplied by the compressor vendor and usually includes oil reservoir, pumps, filters, coolers and controls. The space requirements for maintenance and operation shall be considered taking into account removal of cooler tube bundle, filter withdrawal, and pump maintenance. 5) Adequate access around the compressor is required to ensure that frequently operated valves and monitored instruments are accessible at all times. 6) Compressors require relatively heavy lifts hence permanent lifting facilities is desirable. 7) The knockout drum should be located closed to the compressor to optimise piperuns with due consideration to slope and no pocket requirements. 8) Compressors should preferably be located perpendicular to the piperack. (GE C\Doumans\GE AIS 16\GE ASSIT4 Rev Odo LLCN. TECHNIP-COFLEXIP ae eS 6 GUIDE DOCUMENT Page 200161 FOR OFFSHORE PLOT PLAN Vessels 1) Horizontal vessel handling hydrocarbons shall be oriented such that their heads point toward the open sides of the platform in order to avoid the threat of projectiles impacting adjacent critical facilties following a vessel explosion. 2) The major axes of the horizontal vessels should be along the natural ventilation path to reduce the potential for an explosion overpressure. 3) Manholes and access platforms should preferably be located on the access aisles. 4) Allinstruments, stand pipes, sampling points should be located at one side of a horizontal vessel to facilitate operation and maintenance. 5) A davit usually handles pipit \g component and vessel internals. 6) When arranging common platforms for vessels in-line, allowance shall be provided for differential expansion between vessels. Using hinges and slots in the platforms between vessels is a common practice that introduces the required flexibility. 617 Pumps 1) Pump suction and discharge should face and be located close to the equipment from fluid intake. 2) When locating the pumps, ensure that NPSH requirements are met 3) Where practical horizontal pumps should be grouped with the pump drives lined facing the maintenance aisies so as to facilitate withdrawal pump motor. 4) Specialists select pumps and the Piping Designer has little influence on the basic selection. However the Layout Designer can request preferred orientation for suction/discharge and NPSH limitations during the early stage of the design. 5) Some pumps require seal oil tanks that could take more space than the pump. Ensure that the installation requirements of seal oil tanks are taken into account when establishing the pump spacing. 6) MOL (Main Oil Line) Pumps should be located in well-ventilated area due to the large inventory of high-pressure oil involved and potential hazards associated with rotating equipment. 7) Pumps handling flammable products shall not be located under air coolers, piperacks and vessels. 8) Pumps and driver axis should be oriented perpendicular to piperacks or other equipment to minimise fire exposure in case of a pump seal failure.

FOR OFFSHORE PLOT PLAN 9) High-pressure charge pump should be separated from any other major process equipment and other pumps. 6.1.8 Heat Exchangers 1) Heat exchangers should be grouped together wherever possible, 2) The working areas shall be kept clear of any piping and accessories to facilitate removal of tube bundle, channel, shell cover, as well as for maintenance and cleaning. 3) Provide lifting facilities and ensure the tube bundles can be withdrawn easily without posing any hindrance to escape route. 4) Sufficient space shall be kept between adjacent heat exchangers to allow installation of inlet and outlet control valves. 5) Plate type heat exchangers require access for the opening of covers and removal of plates. 6) Provide adequate space around the heat exchangers for the portable pickling and passivation tanks that will be used during routine and turnaround maintenance. 7) Wrench clearance of approximately 500mm should be provided at the ‘exchanger flanges. 6.1.9 Air Coolers 1) In the sitting of air coolers, due consideration shall be taken of the fire hazards associated with the release of flammable fluids that could be in contact from equipment and piping beneath or adjacent to the coolers. As coolers are having the high ability to spread fire, pumps handling flammable products, compressors, sources of fuel, and electrical switchgear shall not be located below air coolers. 2) Valves and flanges should be minimised below the air coolers. 3) The cooler tube bundles are susceptible to mechanical damage hence these shall be afforded with maximum protection from dropped objects y keeping these away from crane dropped zones during routine maintenance, and drilling/workover operations. 4) Air coolers should not be located less than 5000mm from gas compressors and less than 10000mm from fired heaters and generator exhausts. 5) Air coolers should be located downwind of the facilities to take advantage of the prevailing wind to disperse hot air away from operating areas. (GE C\Doounants\GE A259 14\GE ADS914 Rev Odo LCN TECHNIP-COFLEXIP Ge asso GUIDE DOCUMENT Page 220161 FOR OFFSHORE PLOT PLAN 6) Where possible, air coolers should be grouped with a common elevation. Air coolers of different fan intake elevation shall not be located adjacent to one another to avoid hot air recirculation. 7) The height of the fan inlets of forced draft coolers or of the underside of the bundle of induced draft coolers shall be at least one fan diameter above the nearest solid horizontal obstruction to airflow. 8) Where coolers are located above piperacks, the minimum clearance should be at least 2400mm from the top of the pipes with due consideration for the minimum headroom to maintain the motors. 9) Care shall be taken when placing induced draft and forced draft coolers adjacent to each other so as to ensure that personnel maintaining the cooler fans of induced coolers will not be exposed to hot air coming from the forced draft coolers. Locate induced coolers upwind of forced draft coolers to take advantage of the prevailing wind to disperse hot air away from operating area. 10) Provisions for thermal expansion of the tubes shall be taken into account. The tubes must be free to expand independently of the structure. Nozzles between the tube bundles shall be fixed end to minimise thermal expansion stresses. 11) Air coolers are generally located above piperacks to optimise deck space. Supports of the air coolers should preferably coincide with the piperack width to transmit the air cooler loads to the piperack column. 12) A straight tube length of 9200mm or 1200mm is generally preferred. 13) The maximum tube bundle overhang is taken as 1000mm from the cooler column supports. 6.1.10 Flare Knockout Drums Flare Knockout Drums should preferably be located centrally and at the lowest level of the process area to optimise piperuns and allow free draining condensates from flare header back to the drum. Flare knockout Drums are critical equipment during ‘emergency depressurisation that their locations require protection from the hazard from adjacent high pressure/high volume hydrocarbon inventories, ignition sources. and rotating equipment. 6.1.11 Fuel Gas Scrubbers To maintain a dry gas supply, Fuel Gas Scrubbers should be located below the users to allow free draining condensates from the headers back to the scrubber.

Their location and occupancy shall therefore ensure that these are protected from fires, explosions, noise, unpleasant odours, and shall be located in an area so designed to provide Personnel a sense of safety and remoteness from operations. Because Living Quarters are potential source of ignition, these shall be isolated from fuel sources to the greatest extent practical. The firewall maybe an integral part of the Living Quarters. In this case, windows facing the process area shall be eliminated and other openings should be minimised.

It is a safe area that provides safety to personnel who may seek refuge and allow them to be accounted for, monitor and assess hazard and allow a decision to be made to evacuate the Platform. Access doors and escape routes shalll be located away from potential hazard to allow personnel to reach the Temporary Refuge safely. On normally manned Platforms, the Living Quarters may provide location for a Temporary Refuge. Helideck (Refer to Section 5 for orientation and location) 1) Do not use handrails at landing areas, as these are potential obstacles. In lieu of the handrails, provide safety nets around the helideck for personnel protection. 2) There should be minimum two access points to the helideck. The arrangements should be optimised to ensure that: * Personnel will be able to escape upwind of the landing area in the event of accident at helideck level = Embarking and disembarking passengers will not be required to pass around the helicopter tail rotor. 3) Ensure that the foam monitors will not cause injury to escaping personnel when these are in operation during emergeney situation. Control Room Control Rooms are permanently manned. As their operation are strictly for authorised personnel only, the access corridors shall be arranged to ensure that personnel will pass through the Control Room to access other rooms. Control Rooms should be located near the bridge landing and at least at most accessible deck to allow a quick response and evacuation during emergency. Instrument/Technical Rooms Instrument/Technical Rooms are not permanently manned with limited occupancy for authorised personnel performing controlled activities.

These should be located upwind of the Platform and segregated from hazardous areas to ensure a reliable power source during emergency. All equipment associated with emergency power (generator, switchboard, batteries, rectifiers, inverters, etc.) shall be located in non-hazardous areas with adequate protection against fire and explosion. Other layout consideration include: 1) Diesel Storage Tanks Diesel Storage Tanks in the Safe Area shall be limited to Day Tanks contained in the equipment base of the Diesel Generators. Bulk Storage Tanks shall not be located at the Safe Area. 2) Battery Rooms Battery rooms are sometimes classified because of hydrogen evolution from the batteries. These can be unclassified provided that the enclosure is adequately ventilated with a provision for a vent outside the enclosure. 3) Transformers Locate transformers in a well-ventilated area. Workshops Workshops are not permanently manned and generally house equipment that is potential ignition sources and where hot work normally takes place. These shall be located outside the hazardous area, pressurised or purged with air from a Sate Area. Workshops should preferably be located where these are readily accessible by Platform Crane or other handling devices. Store Rooms Store Rooms are not permanently manned and generally contains flammable materials such as paint should be located outside the outer edge of the deck away from the Safe Area and most likely escape routes. Offices Offices are permanently manned that may include personnel who are not aware of the specific danger of an installation containing hydrocarbons.

Laboratories Laboratories shall be located away from Control Room due to the potential of possible toxic gas from samplers. Laboratories could be located at hazardous provided the air intake of the HVAC system is at a safe area. Firewater Pumps The Firewater Pumps shall be independently driven units located in non-hazardous area and shall be protected from adjacent fire hazards to ensure firewater supply during fire emergency. The arrangement shall ensure that a single fire or explosion can not impair their capacity to meet firewater demand. The acceptable arrangements are: 1) Two Pumps located remote from each other This is normally the preferred arrangement as it naturally separates the pumps from exposure to a single fire or explosion. 2) Two Pumps located close to each other ‘Two pumps are located close to each other and separated by a firewall to avoid the potential for a single fire or explosion that could render both pumps inoperable. This alternative arrangement should only be considered when remote location is not practical Air Compressors Air compressors support critical instruments, emergency shutdown valves, and emergency depressurisation valves. The loss of instrument air pressure would generally lead to shutdown and depressurisation. It is essential that air compressors be located in a well-protected area.

HVAC Heating, Ventilating and Air-conditioning (HVAC) forms part of the essential safety services of the Platform and complements area classification requirements associated with electrical equipment. HVAC systems are provided to: 1) Prevent ingress of potentially explosive/toxic gas mixtures into non-hazardous area such as Living Quarters, electrical rooms, instrument technical rooms, 2) Provide comfort, health and welfare in manned areas and appropriate operating environment in other enclosures. HVAC facilities require considerable space. It is essential to integrate the space requirements for ductworks, air Handling Units (AHU's), Air Intakes, Filters and other auxiliary equipment into the overall Platform layout during the early stages of design. Machinery and equipment for this service are usually arranged in a separate area. Interconnecting Piping To ensure the integrity of the Safe Area, hydrocarbon bearing lines shall not be routed across or in the vicinity of the Living Quarters, Control Rooms Electrical Rooms, Instrument/Technical Rooms, HVAC and other critical services. Where a bridge landing is located at the vicinity of the Safe Area, welded joints should be considered in lieu of flanged joints. Bridges Bridges between Platforms constitute interconnecting piping and serve as a primary means of evacuation and shall therefore not to be exposed to high hazards by: 1) Locating risers and hydrocarbon bearing equipment away from the bridge. 2) Keeping these away from crane operating area. 3) Minimising flanges, valves, and connections on lines handling hydrocarbons. 4) Not considering these as a permanent or temporary storage area during routine and non-routine operations. 5) Not locating facilities particularly workshops and electrical substations. The only exception is the fire monitors located strategically along the bridge. 6) By providing adequate headroom for the supply boat to pass under the bridge when required.

Combined changes in direction should generally be made from 90° elbows. Generally differential elevations are based on two 90° elbows of the largest line and where minimum difference in elevation is necessary a combination of 90° and 45° may be used. Large diameter lines that may require flat turns should be located at the edge of the piperack. 4) The heaviest lines should be located near the columns in order to minimise bending moment and yield a light piperack structure. The process lines are placed next to heavy lines. 5) Hot lines, cold lines and other lines requiring expansion loops should be grouped together located at the sides of the piperack to allow room for expansion loops, with the largest line or line having the highest thermal expansion located at the outermost side of the piperack. . 6) Piperacks should be routed as low as practical to facilitate inspection. 7) Flare header and the firewater ring main should be routed at extreme position and away from process area to minimise their exposure to fire hazards. 8) Hydrocarbon bearing lines should be routed away from GRE lines due to the potential of possible ignition from the static electricity (generated from GRE lines). 9) Stainless stee! and galvanised pipes shall not be routed together to minimise the risk of metal embrittlement. 10) Piperacks having two or more layers should be arranged as follows: * Process lines should be located at lowest level facilitate periodic inspection. * The flare header should be located at lowest level and away as far away from process area and surrounding structure affords maximum protection to the pipework to reduce the possibility of damage from fire, explosion or other occurrences.

Electrical and instrument cable trays should preferably be routed remote from each other or with at least 300mm- separation distance. During the design-planning phase, the main cable trays shall be coordinated and integrated to the overall piperack layout. Future Extensions The layout should take into account the installation of future facilities considering the following: 1) Barge and crane access. 2) To maximise hot work to be carried in the vicinity of live equipment, future facilities should preferably be located upwind of hydrocarbon facilities. This ‘scheme would prevent the prevailing from directing hydrocarbon gas leaks from then existing facilities towards the hot work at the new area. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE A large number of potential incidents in a Platform occur as a result of operator error ‘or during maintenance activities. The root cause of these incidents can normally be traced back to missed opportunities or oversights during the design phase where the potential exists to make the operator-and-maintainer-friendly and tolerant, thus reducing the probability of incidents from occurring. Human interaction with the Platform during operation and maintenance shall always be considered in the Platform layout. Simplicity of Layout The potential for errors during operations and maintenance is greatly reduced with a simple equipment arrangement whose function, status, controls and interconnections are transparent to all. To increase the degree of inherent safety, ensure that the layout is presented in a clear and concise manner by: 1) Minimising confusion during operation and maintenance by arranging the equipment in a logical sequence as the process flow to simplify operation and optimise piperuns. Logical tagging of identical equipment should also be adopted. For example, a set of three identical pumps (2 planned and 1 future) should be located in a common area with tags P-100A/B/C. (GE C\DoeuensiGE AIS 141GE ANSIT4 Rev D doe LCN TECHNIP-COFLEXIP a GUIDE DOCUMENT Page 2061 FOR OFFSHORE PLOT PLAN : 73 734 2) Grouping equipment of the same service that shares common utility and maintenance requirements together in order to reduce the degree of piping interconnections, as well as to minimise hydrocarbon inventories as a result of optimum piperuns. Crossovers between sections of the Platform can cause confusion during operation and maintenance and tends to increase the complexity of control and shutdown logic 3) Maintaining identical or symmetrical arrangements of equipment so as to simplify operation and maintenance as well as to reduce the cost of equipment, design, construction, hook-up and commissioning, Human Factors Despite significant progress in technology and Regulatory pressures to improve designs so as to reduce accidents, the proportion of incidents and near misses due to "Human Errors” has not significantly decreased. Experiences demonstrate that human error is the main factor in the occurrence of accidents. Human Factor separate study that must be incorporated at the early stage of the design. Access and Clearance ‘Adequate space between equipment and piping components is an important factor in promoting a safe operation and maintenance of the Platform. However, factors such as space requirement, Platform size, water depth, lifting weighttransportation limitations and investment’ required normally leads to compact arrangement of facilities. Operational Access Operational access is the space required between components to permit walking, operation of valves, viewing of instruments, climbing stairs and ladders, and safe egress from the area during emergency. Maintenance Access Maintenance access is the space required to service equipment in-place or to remove the unit or components for offsite repair Accessibility Levels Accessibility identifies the effort required for a healthy human being to reach devices such as an instrument, measuring element, instrument process connection, instrument utility connection, block valve or sampling point for the purpose of operational attention or regular maintenance. It includes the ability to reach such a GEC \DoeumensiGE ADS) VGE AISST4 Rev Odo LCN TECHNIP-COFLEXIP Pee re oa GUIDE DOCUMENT Page 33.0161 FOR OFFSHORE PLOT PLAN device with all tools required to perform operational attention or maintenance. Accessibilty levels are defined as follows: 1) Permanent Accessibilty ‘A device is considered permanently accessible if it is located not more than 500mm horizontally away from and not more than 1700mm vertically above Platform Deck, access platforms or walkways, if no obstructions are in place and if such locations can be safely reached from those levels during plant operation. 2) Limited Accessibilty ‘A device has a limited accessibility if it is located not more than 1000mm horizontally away from and at a height between 1700mm and 4000mm above Platform Deck, access platform or walkways. If no obstructions are in place and if such locations can be safely reached during plant operation by means of a mobile platform or ladder. 3) Poor Accessibility A device has a poor accessibility if it is located more than 4000mm above Platform Deck, access platforms or walkways or at any other location that can only be safely reached during plant operation by installing temporary facilities such as scaffolding. A device is also considered to have a poor accessibility if it can only be reached after removal or disassembly of other devices or components, such as thermal insulation or equipment noise hoods. 4) Inaccessibility A device is considered inaccessible if it cannot be safely reached during plant operation for the purpose of operational attention and maintenance. 7.3.4 Location and Accessibility Apart from the requirements for specific types of components and instruments as given in the relevant sections, field-mounted instruments shall be installed considering the following aspects: 1) On-line instruments are to be mounted on or instrument process connections. the direct vicinity of the 2) The location shall guarantee a good representative measurement of the process condition. 3) Limited accessibility is acceptable for indicating instruments, provided that they could be properly read from a permanently accessible location. (GE CADocumentsiGE AIS9 TAGE ASS14 Rev doo LCN TECHNIP-COFLEXIP Pe eS ae A353 GUIDE DOCUMENT Page 34 0f61 FOR OFFSHORE PLOT PLAN 73.5 4) Instruments shall not be subjected to excessive vibration (e.g. on suction or ischarge lines of pumps or compressors, etc.) or to mechanical stresses, and are not to be exposed to temperatures that will influence the measurement. 5) Heavy equipment such as control valves and inline flow meters of 4” NPS and larger and all positive displacement meters and turbine meters should be accessible by mobile hoisting equipment. Where this is not possible, permanent-hoisting facilities should be considered. 6) Instruments and their impulse lines shall be surrounded by sufficient free space to allow rodding-out of process connections and the removal of: = Bolts, nuts and gaskets, etc; * Covers and enclosures; * Orifice plates from the orifice flanges; + Removable parts from in-line flow meters; = Internals from the control valve; + Displacers from the displacer chambers; + Thermometer elements from the thermowells. Permanent and easy access for maintenance purposes used to be the dominant factor in selecting the physical location of plant mounted instruments. This resulted in long impulse lines and additional ladders/plattorms. Space Sharing and Platform Volume The design objective in Platform design is economy in the use of space and Platform volume. Providing space around individual equipment would generally imply an increase in the allocated space. Space sharing is an effective solution to meet the usual Platform design limitations and arrive with a reasonable access. This can be achieved by: 1) Grouping of Equipment Maintain identical or symmetrical arrangement of equipment to allow a common access between adjacent equipment. Group equipment that shares common maintenance requirements (for example, handling of launcher/receiver tools and withdrawal of heat exchanger tube bundle).

Utilise Use Mezzanine platforms as much as possible to make most effective use of Platform volume. 736 Provisions for Routine Operations The requirement for access around equipment as well as the overall facilities shall be considered carefully during the early stage of the design taking into account the following factors: 1) Access arrangements for all regular operations should be straightforward and simple. These points should preferably be accessible and visible from deck levels or aisles, preferably without the aid of auxiliary platforms or ladders. 2) Permanently installed auxiliary platforms and ladders should be considered if operating areas are above the deck levels. 3) Equipment that requires attention on less regular basis need not be provided with permanent platforms or ladders unless emergency access is a requirement. 4) Provisions should be provided for all routine operations that will involve handling and storage of materials. 5) Instruments and operational checkpoints should be positioned so as to allow access from deck levels or permanent platforms or ladders. 6) Equipment parts, instruments, valve handwheels, and piping shall not protrude into the access ways. 7) Provisions should be made to prevent contact with hot and cold surfaces.

Space should be provided for the laydown of equipment during maintenance particularly for large items such as turbine rotors, compressors, and heat exchanger tube bundles. 738 Access Platforms Ladders and Stairs Access platforms, stairways and vertical ladders shall be provided as a means of access/egress to all operating and maintenance levels in the platform. The arrangement of access platforms must allow supervisory rounds at various levels without requiring excessive climbing up and down. Other access considerations include: 1) Access Platforms Elevated access platforms should only be provided where operating areas are not accessible from Platform deck levels. 2) Stairs Stairways serve as a means of access/egress between Platform deck levels, main-operational levels, and to interconnect primary escape routes. Stairs should only be used in elevated platforms if: + The frequency of use is daily + Materials, tools, or other equipment must be carried for operation and maintenance like taking of samples and tank gauging. ‘= There is a potential for exposure to injurious chemicals or materials.

FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM at Passive Fire Protection Passive Fire Protection performs its function without relying on activation. The primary function of passive protection is to retard the rate of temperature increase of vital equipment and/or supporting steel structures to allow continuous operation and prevents failure during emergency. It gives protection only for a limited time and is only effective adequate Active Fire Protection and fire-fighting capabilities can be deployed before the system loses its protective properties. Passive Fire Protection is normally applied to: 1) Prevent escalation of fire due to progressive release of inventories by separating the fire risk areas if necessary by protection of critical facilities such as separators, risers and topsides ESDV's. 2) Minimise damage by protecting critical structural members essential to the support of Temporary Refuge and evacuation routes. 3) Protect personnel in the Temporary Refuge until safe evacuation Examples of passive fire protection includes: 1) Fire/Blast Wall The compactness of Offshore Platforms generally leads to a Fire/Blast wall to segregate the Safe Area from Hazardous area. 2) Firewalls * All external boundaries of the Temporary Refuge are generally rated as H120, * Electrical Rooms, Generator Rooms, Workshops, are generally rated as A60. * HVAC are generally rated as H. 82 Active Fire Protection Active Fire Protection is a dormant system that requires to be activated in order to perform its function. These include deluge systems, sprinklers, monitors, hydrants, hose reels, foam injection. Active Fire Protection is needed to extinguish a fire situation and to cool a load bearing structures and critical equipment that may be exposed to radiant heat.

The piping layout must ensure the integrity firewater ring main by: + Providing access to sectioning valves + Routing this away from dropped object + Routing this away as far away from process area and surrounding structure affords maximum protection to the pipework to reduce the possibility of damage from fire, explosion or other occurrences. Deluge Valves Locate deluge valves adjacent to escape routes and outside the protected area to allow easy operation by evacuating personnel. Fire Monitors The goal of the Fire Monitor is to provide a reliable means for personnel to supplement deluge and sprinkler system by directing water at specific areas. Monitors are oscillated or operated automatically and may be required at strategic locations and utilised for the application of water or foam. The location of monitors must ensure so as not to impede escape routes, away from radiant heat, and it is a hazard to personnel when it is operated. The isolation valve must be located local to the monitor to facilitate maintenance. Fire Hydrants The goal of Fire Hydrants is similar to Fire Monitor and these are operated through manually deployed water discharge equipment. Hydrants are often located along access routes with their cabinets mounted adjacent to the hydrants to store hose, couplings and branch pipes. The isolation valve shall be located local to the monitor to facilitate maintenance.

These are operating with a lower flowrates that can be deployed more quickly than the fire hydrants. Consequently hose reels are used only in Safe Areas and in some cases in helideck and process areas where they deliver foam to back up monitors. AFFF System AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam) are used where foam is capable of extinguishing liquid fires. These are skid-mounted, consisting of premix foam tanks proportioner with controls interfaced with fire and gas panels. Individual deluge valves are provided for each area to be protected. Twin Agent Units Twin Agent Units are used where large scale of spill ol fire is expected. These are skid-mounted equipped with AFFF and compatible dry chemical agent and discharge hose reel. Potable Fire Extinguishers Portable Fire Extinguishers are strategically located around the Platform for first aid fire fighting purpose on small fires. Wherever possible their locations are coordinated along with the positions of hose reels, and along escape routes. Space margins should be taken into account to accommodate portable extinguishers along operating areas, enclosures and escape routes. PLATFORM EVACUATION Personnel shalll be provided with adequate facilities to evacuate the platform during emergency. In principle three methods of evacuation from Offshore Platform are generally provided: Primary Method The preferred primary method of evacuation is a Bridge Link to an adjacent platform where helicopter is a normal method of transport to/from the Platform with which personnel is familiar with.

For this reason, the Lifeboat (TEMPSC) is used as a means of early evacuation on almost all manned Platforms. 2) Lifeboat Location Lifeboat or TEMPSC (Totally Enclosed Motor Propelled Survival Craft) shall be located away from hazardous areas and within the firewall and adjacent to Muster Areas. These should be located at the lowest level of the Platform reasonably practical taking into consideration other constraints such as + Environmental Considerations Prevailing wind and water current shall not direct lifeboats towards the jacket structure. + Launching Orientation Where practical, the launching orientation should be away from the platform. When two or more lifeboats are required, the location shall ensure that lifeboats do not cross each other's path when launched. + Obstacles Launching of Lifeboats shall not be restricted by structures (such as bridge, boat landing) supply boats and support vessels approaching or mooring in the vicinity of the platform. Lifeboats normally require certification every 12 months. As these are generally equipped with davits and lifting hooks, additional lifting facility need not be considered in the design. 93 Tertiary Method Methods of rapid evacuation from the platform should be provided to allow for incidents, whose severity and speed are such that an orderly, controlled evacuation could not take place. A tertiary method of evacuation shall be provided to permit direct access to the sea. 1) Liferatts Davit launched Liferafts shall be provided with sufficient capacity to accommodate 100% of personnel on board. Securing arrangements for Liferafts shall facilitate rapid deployment and these are located close to means of direct escape to sea so that escaping personnel enter the sea for as short as time as possible. By implication, Liferafts should not be located adjacent to Lifeboat.

Actual numbers of Lifebuoys is visible from any point on the outside walkway of the Platform. Escape Routes The layout shall take into account of access requirements in an emergency in addition to the provision for normal operations. Escape routes shall be provided on the Platform to and from enclosed and open areas whether or not these are regularly manned. These shall not be obstructed by equipment, access hatches, laydown areas, structures and should be designed such that their integrity is ensured by position rather than protection. Primary Escape Routes Primary Escape Routes are generally located at the periphery of the platform that will direct personnel from working areas to Temporary Refuge or to the point of evacuation. A clear width of 1200mm and 2200mm headroom is typically maintained to permit the passage of personnel bearing injured personnel. Wider escape routes (1500mm wide) are required where more than 50 personnel are present such as accommodation areas. Secondary Escape Routes Secondary Escape Routes are generally located at working areas that will direct personnel to Primary Escape Routes. A clear width of 1000mm and 2200mm. headroom is typically maintained where escape in one direction is required. Emergency Exits and Perimeter Walkways ‘A minimum of two separate and remote exits shall be provided to enclosed or open areas. Where practical, escape routes should form as a ring external to the perimeter of an enclosed area. Similarly, continuous perimeter walkways should be provided at each major operating deck levels to enable choice of route. Arrangement Escape routes should be direct as possible with minimum changes in direction, comprising only walkways and stairs. Escape routes should direct personnel away from smoke or fire and should physically be separated from: (GE CADcounenes\GE A359 16\GE AS5914 Rev O doo LCN TECHNIP=COFLEXIP Document Type sue Rev eee GE A330 140 GUIDE DOCUMENT Page 43 of 61 FOR OFFSHORE PLOT PLAN 9.4.5 9.4.6 9.4.7 9.4.8 9.4.9 9.4.10 1) Hazardous vents 2) Hazardous chemicals 3) Laydown areas 4) Hatches 5) Explosion panels Use of Normal Access As a general principle, escape routes available to personnel should be the same routes they would use during normal access to the areas because during times of increased stress, personnel will incline towards familiar patterns of behaviour. Stairway Landing Stairway landing leading to the primary escape route is typically 1200mm-1500mm_ wide and 2200mm long to permit the handling of stretcher cases bearing injured personnel during emergency. Protection Escape routes leading to the Temporary Refuge may require protection from direct exposure from intense heat coming from fire or flare radiation passive or active means of personnel protection and generally provided such as water curtains, heat shield and fire/explosion shield. Doors Hinged doors from enclosed area shall open outwards in the direction of escape routes and should open into the non-hazardous area if these are used as a normal access adjacent to hazardous areas. Dead End Spaces Additional exit will normally be required at operating areas exceeding 5m long. Material Handling Routes Where applicable, escape routes should be separated from material handling routes like monorail access. GE C'DoounemsiGE A269 AGE AI5914 Rev G02.

There shall be sufficient free floor area at each muster location to accommodate one full lifeboat complement of 0.56 m* per person, with an additional allowance for stretchers and breathing apparatus if required. The number of areas may correspond with the number of lifeboat. A minimum requirement is to provide Muster Areas for each of the Lifeboat required in evacuating the full personnel on board. The limited space at unmanned Platform generally leads to a Muster Area located at hazardous area. Breathing Air System Permanently manned Platforms laden with H2S are generally provided with emergency Breathing Apparatus to protect personnel where an emission of toxic gas may occur. Breathing Apparatus are located at Living Quarters, Lifeboat Muster ‘Areas, and Liferafts station with facilities for off-take from Cascade Breathing Air System. Air reservoirs are provided for all personnel with adequate space at off-take stations to ensure that no congestion during will occur during emergency. MATERIAL HANDLING A separate Material Handling Study shall be performed at the early stage of the design to determine the transfer materials to be maintained and define the handling facilities required for the safe operation and maintenance of the Platform. Maintenance and Handling Requirements Handling requirements and principles are typically developed based on preventive maintenance strategy with minor repairs and inspection being carried out as far as. possible while facilities is operating Installation or removal of major equipment or facilities will not be performed during routine Platform maintenance activities. These are normally performed during major Platform shutdown and their removal or installation would require planning and subject to special construction techniques that are beyond the scope of Material Handling Study. Dropped Object Studies will be performed under a separate review and report. GE C\DocumentsGE A959 141GE AI5914 Rev Odec.

Where direct lift access from the platform cranes is not available, lifting devices such as monorails, lifting lugs, chain hoists, and davits should be provided where applicable. Provision should also be made for these ‘components to be transferred to a laydown area where these can be lifted by the platform cranes. Platform Crane The Platform Crane will generally support normal transfer operations from/to supply boat and Platform transfer operations. Monorails and Trolley Hoists Monorails should used to lift materials and where horizontal movement is required to transfer these to another location such as laydown areas, stores and workshops. These are installed along with trolley hoists fitted with safety device against wheel failure. Where loads exceed 2 Tons, the use of monorail to transfer material is desirable, GE CADocumensIGE AIS TAGE ADSSTA Rev Ode WEN TECHNIP-COFLEXIP eeceee ae) re |G) GUIDE DOCUMENT Page 46 0161 FOR OFFSHORE PLOT PLAN 10.3.3 10.3.4 10.3.5 10.3.6 10.3.7 Trolleys Trolleys with inflatable wheels that can spread over grated decks should generally be used to transfer materials around the Platform where materials are 0.5 Ton and below. These are suitable of being pulled or pushed manually and able to be steered around corners. Trolleys are equipped with steering at both axles with fail- safe brakes and these are used in association with lifting devices as these capable of lifting materials. Approximate size and weight: 1200mm L x 900mm W x 270mm, H (excluding pushbar) and weighing 32 kg. Pallet Trucks Pallet Trucks should generally be used over plated deck to transfer materials around the platform for loads ranging from 0.5-2 Tons. Like Trolleys, these are suitable of being pulled or pushed manually and able to be steered around comers. Pallet Trucks are equipped with steering at both axles with fail-safe brakes. Unlike Trolleys these are capable of lifting and lowering materials that can be controlled through its hydraulic handle or tugbar. Approximate size and weight: 1600mm L x 600mm W x 80mm H (excluding tugbar) and weighing 80 kg. Chain Hoists and Lifting Lugs Manually operated chain hoists should be used to lift materials up to maximum capacity of 5 tons. These are to be used in combination of either pre-installed or temporary lifting lugs. Pre-installed fing lugs are provided above rotating equipment, critical spares and other selected materials. Chain hoists are generally lightweight that a 5Ton capacity (approximate weight = 41kg) can be handled manually. Tentative locations of pre-installed lifting lugs can only be finalised once the materials or equipment to be lifted are in-place. Adjustable Girder Clamps Adjustable girder clamps should be used in combination with chain hoists where pre-installed lifting lugs are not practical. Davits In view of the risks involved in lifting transfer materials above process equipment during normal operation, davits are usually used to handle large size relief valve, other components and equipment internals on elevated platforms of equipment. A clear lifting access shall be provided with a provision for a laydown area at Platform deck level for further transport by handling devices. Davits are also used over hatches or elevated working areas where other lifting devices are not practical to use.

The proper operation of these devices requires temporary padeyes located on columns, walls, or floors where cables could be attached. “Elephant Cranes” Manually operated hydraulic “elephant” cranes should be used to lift materials over plated areas. The combination of lifting and lowering movements gives a high flexibility of handling materials up to maximum capacity of 1 Ton. These are used in association with trolleys, as these are not recommended for horizontal transportation of materials. Temporary Frames Temporary Frames are lightweight bolted construction complete with trolley hoist that can easily be assembled and dismantled with a provision for height adjustment, Temporary frames should be used for the smaller, lighter items that may require handling that were not specifically itemised in the handling procedures. Plated Pallet Truck Access Plated Platform deck has the benefit to accommodate pallet truck for easy transfer of materials in the Platform. In view of the risks associated with explosion overpressure, deck grating is generally preferred as opposed to deck plating in order to aid dispersion of hydrocarbon gases. As a minimum, plated decks for pallet truck access are should be provided to facilitate handling and transfer of materials. Ramps Ramps should be provided where trolleys/pallet trucks pass across bunded areas. Workshops and Stores Workshops and stores should be located at an easily accessible location, preferably within the reach of the Platform crane as these are the center of all routine maintenance activities. Supply Boats The supply boats will normally carry workover materials and logistics supplies. For a manned Platform, ensure the facility has provision for a supply boat berthing facility, GE CADooumentsiGE AI59 HAGE AS6S14 RevOdoe.
