Mini Project : Jetty Pipeline Repair ( 1 )

General view.

This morning, we had attempted to do the repair works without involving any hotwork activity. There was a little changes to the previous plan, that we need to use an additional temporary support to the work.


Pipe shoe are dislocating.

Pipe shoe are sliding.

The proper location of the pipe shoe.

The temporary support will work as a holding place for the lever block / chain block to hang at. Then, workers will manually operate the equipment so that the pipeline pipe shoe will be suspended above the pipe rack I -beam, and the pipeline will be pulled horizontally.

The temporary support will mainly work as an alternative to the crane.

Pipe shoe badly dislocated, it fell from the hollow member.
  
Putting a stopper to the pipe shoe sides to prevent dislocation.

The hardest thing to liase is the shipment activity. Once there is any shipment activity running, our works will stop immediately. The general rule of a jetty is that, any delay caused will cost money. The amount are even exhilarating up to $USD 20000 or above per hour. So, the company are willing to pay your standby hours rather than paying the whole overated current to the ship authority.
