7. Packing instruction

No.: Description: Sketch:

A-01 When systems are assembled H-Profiles must be placed on a flat surface with a distance of 7m to 9m in between the two outermost profiles.

It is important to place the middle H-Profile with equal distance to the outermost profiles.

Global Gravity recommend system assembled on a standard TubeLock® assembly frame (see assembly frame manual)

A-02 Silver and Black Lifting Poles must be installed in the H-profile. A set is to be installed in every H-Profile (3 x sliver and 3 x black)

The lifting Poles are lowered down into the H-Profile and locked by turning half a rotation.

See A-03 on more information on where sliver and black are placed




A-03 To determine which lifting pole is to be installed (Silver or Black) always remember left is black and right is sliver. This is in relation to the joint ends and is always the correct Lifting pole if you look from the joint ends.

A-04 The bottom H-Profiles should always be in the activated position to ensure bolts can be installed.

Activated position is done by sliding the sleeve as indicated (2 holes for each H-Profile – Total 6 pcs.) The next layer of H-Profiles should always be installed in the default position until bolts are installed. See A-06 for reference

ACTIVATED POSITION DEFAULT POSITION

Sliver Black

Black Silver

Silver black




A-05 Tubulars must be placed correctly on

the TubeLock® H-Profile

Note: The ends of the tubing must extend equally at the two outermost H-profiles ends to ensure equal weight distribution for a level lift.

A-06 3 TubeLock profiles must be installed on the top of the tubulars making sure the H-profile is located correctly.

Note: The orange Handles are designed for lifting by hand only. The Tubelock H-Profiles weigh from 14kgs to 15kgs Note: Two persons are required to handle H-profiles across Tubulars.

Note




A-07 6 bolts must be installed to complete the first layer. And must be tightened with a tension of 150Nm. After the bolts are installed correctly, the H-profiles should be set to the activated position. Now the first layer is complete.

Note! The bolts must be tensioned to 150 Nm with a torque wrench.

A-08 Next layer of tubular can now be laid out according to A-05 etc. (in case it is a multi-layer configuration)




A-09 Anchor lock key

1) Install the anchor lock key through the keyhole

2) a/ Turn the anchor lock 90° b/ Slide it down all way in the slotted hole.

3) Push the safety retaining pin through the hole in the anchor lock key and into the hole in the TubeLock profile. The safety retaining pin is held in place by an O-ring

4) The lifting pole is now locked.

TIP!

If there are problems with locking the key, the assembly bolts can be loosened or alternatively, the key can be activated before tightening the bolts.

Remember it is important that all bolts are tightened according to item A-07 after assembly

8. Slings


B-01 When attaching the slings:

Always use the most outer lifting Poles.

Ensure the shackles are locked, and split pins secured.

Note! Always mount the shackle so the nut and safety split pin are facing inwards. This is to avoid snagging

Note: split pins are not reusable

B-02 A two-part crane pennant must be used when lifting

Note! Min. sling angle is 60˚.

Min.

60˚




B-03 Arranging slings during stacking.

1. The slings must be positioned to the same direction (as shown in sketch).

2. The next system can be stacked with the slings located to the opposite direction (as shown on sketch).

3. The next system can be stacked with the slings located to the same direction as the first system (as shown on sketch) i.e. sling direction alternating from left to right per stack layer.

8. Stacking


C-01 Every H-Profile will have a sticker named stacking. The sticker shows the maximum stacking height “H” for stand alone and supported systems. It also specify the maximum weight in tons. The sticker show data from systems with 3 and 4 frames. Note: If weight of tubular is unknown, each TubeLock® system is calculated as 6.0 ton (MT).

C-02 All systems are approved for a stacking height of 4 meters if supported and a height of 2.5 meters stand alone. The idividual stacking height per system is listed in the datasheet for the particular system. The maximum weight for stacks of systems with 3 frames is 50 tons and 60 tons for stacks of systems with 4 frames if they are supported. Tubelock Systems are approved for stand alone and supported stacking heights, however if the facility vessel or yard have odther stricter requirements, follow these. For more information on stacking height of the individual systems check the specifik datasheet.



C-03 Boat Stacking: The maximum stacking height on vessel is 2,000 mm. Lashing is recommended in harsh weather conditions Stability against tipping: the maximum angle is 25°



9. Lashing


D-01 When lashing TubeLock® systems Never do the following:

• Lashing around any of the TubeLock® components( only lash over pipes)

• Don’t attach anything other than sling shackels to lifting poles

• Lashing around Lifting poles(Lash over the pipes)

Always lash over pipes

10. Placing on the drilling rig


E-01 Side view:

Stacking of TubeLock® system seen from the side.

The principle is to offset each system. (Position of Poles)

Once placed the first layer, the next layer must be offset to the side and hereafter back again.

Remove slings sets, if the systems are placed ready for running

E-02 Top view:

When placing the systems on the rig.

Systems must be placed as shown on sketch, to be able to roll tubulars from system to system

IMPORTANT! See explanation of detail A – E-03 & E-04




E-03 Systems must be placed with 40mm between the lifting Poles and the next pipe.

This distance makes it possible for free movement of lifting Poles when unpacking and to ensure that the system can be stacked with the earlier explained method.

E-04 It’s important to place the first layer of systems correctly.

It is recommended using the TubeLock® C-Spacer to insure the right placing. (C-Spacer to be placed on top the lifting Poles and will always hang on top of the frame. It will not be affected by the deck height)

Note:

It is necessary to remove slings when placing the C-Spacer

40mm

E-05 Once the systems are set according to above recommendations.

A. Remove sling and shackles. B. Loosen all bolts and remove

them and store in the boxes provided to eliminate any Potential Dropped Objects

C. Remove anchor lock keys and store in the boxes provided to eliminate any Potential Dropped Objects.

D. Remove TubeLock® profiles.

How to remove anchor lock keys

1. Anchor lock key is locked 2. Lift up safety retaining pin 3. Lift the anchor lock key and

turn it 90° (a then b) 4. Remove anchor lock key

Note: Once Offshore: Slings are to be removed from each layer, before next layer is installed

E-06 The illustration shows how tubulars can be rolled from one system to another, after middle lifting poles are removed.



10. Packing configuration – Empty spaces

There must always be at least one pipe at each side of the frame, per layer, in the position closest to lifting Poles. Tubulars A & B must be of full length, and clamped by the frames at each end. The requirements for placements of tubulars in combination with empty spaces is requested to all sizes and systems.

11. Packing configuration – Different tubular length

Placement of tubulars Tubular A & B must be full length, and clamped by the frame at both ends. There must be as a minimum, of one tubular on each side per layer, in the position closest to Lifting Pole. (See page 25) Securing of short tubulars in TubeLock® systems Extra frames must be placed where it is necessary to stabilize shorter tubulars (Frame: 2, 4). The weight of additional frames and pipes, must be placed even on both sides of centerline. To insure weight is evenly distributed Lifting Poles must be installed in the orginal frames (Frame: 1, 3, 5), but can be omitted in extra frames (Frame: 2, 4). For further informations of special configurations, please contact Global Gravity for advice.

12. Forklift truck loading

Global Gravity recommends the use of clamps when handling loos pipes and packed systems


F-01

Drive the forklift truck into possition with equal distance to

tubular ends

F-02 Drive the forks under the TubeLock® system lifting directly

on the pipes

If clamps are used they must be open in this possition

= =



F-03 Whe the forklift truck is in position the clamps can be

lowered to lock the system in place.

F-04 Lift the system with the forklift.

Now the system is ready to be transportet



13. Truck Loading


G-01 When loading systems on a truck it is important to maintain balance. This is done by loading one system on one side then shifting to the opposite side. (As shown on the pictures) This is done to prevent the truck from tipping and to maintain balance and safety. Note: When stacking systems look at chapter 8 for more information When all systems are loaded on the truck secure with safety straps.
