and marked up, they were transported by cargo barge to the laybarge. Using cranes, measured pipes were offloaded in small batches of 15-20 pipes to a pipe holding area on the main deck of the laybarge. Here, an OMS inspector noted down the pipe numbers of the stack, creating a visual representation of the physical position, number and end designator of the pipes and whether any were ‘anode’ pipes.
Measure, mark and fit-up Using SmartFit, the pipes were then sequenced to obtain best fit-up. Te pipes were then numbered for the riggers. Te riggers then loaded the sorted pipes in the correct sequence to the pipe bevelling inbound rack. After bevelling, OMS inspectors
marked up the pipes with rotation and

project managed the complete pipe measurement, mark up and fit-up process, both onshore and offshore. After the pipes were measured onshore
datum marks. Te spacer crew were then able to correctly align these rotation marks, which minimised the HiLo. Tis ensured that the project HiLo specification was met and that welding problems were avoided prior to the firing line. ●
