MAXIMUM PERIOD IN COMPRESSED AIR ‘The maximum time in compressed air will be the time stated as the longest exposure time in the tables for the particular working pressure (ie French Tables). Repetitive compression (ie within 12hrs ofthe previous compression) will not be planned when either compression is to a pressure greater than 2.1 bar or the total time under pressure, including decompression times, will be greater than six hours. ‘Where Repetitive compressions are undertaken in any 12-hour period the working times will be combined at the maximum pressure to determine the decompression.

The compressors must be sized such that the maximum anticipated airflow required by the TBM can be covered by a single compressor running ‘continuously and the second compressor cycling. The degree to which the second compressor is ‘cycling Is to be recorded and ifthe charge time is greater than 6mins the CAOS is to be informed and actions taken as per section 9.3 above, Inthe event of a power failure the air supply to the TBM must be guaranteed. This is achieved by having three diesel power generators, The generators are sized such that only two are required to run to provide adequate power. Ifone of the generators fails the back up (third) generator will be started, ‘The complete compressed air system, including dryer, fiter and supply line to the TBM will be
