- Fabrication new U-Spool (welding) (backhoe dredger, swamp backhoe, etc)
- Fabrication west/east gooseneck (optional to - Installation Cofferdam (west/east point)
be fabricated onshore/offshore) – using sheet pile / sand bags, etc (optional)
- Fab. end flange for new spool & gooseneck - Develops access channel for new U-Spool (TBA
(optional) during Pre-Lay Survey)
- Hydrotest on fabricated new U-Spool (option)

Transportation to Offshore
- West/East Gooseneck (optional to be To be coordinated with all
Launching new U-Spool Coordinated Pipeline De-
fabricated on derrick barge) construction preparation
- Install floaters & wire on new U-Spool pressurized/shutdown
- Material for Tie-In Spool (west/east)
- A-Frame (if any offshore lifting required - Install stability guide on new U-Spool
for tie-in) - Side-boom/Backhoe required
Pipeline De-Gassing / N2
Purging
Towing to offshore

Offshore Fabrication Floaters installation on Required special equipment

- Welding West/East Gooseneck to new OLD U-Spool for underwater BT installation
U-Spool (optional using Flange)

Cutting Process
- West/East Point for future tie-in on the
Using WELDING/Flange
existing mainline/OLD U-Spool
Using WELDING/Flange TIE-IN (west point) – Lift & Lower
TIE-IN (west point) – Cofferdam
- Lifting on WEST line & new U-Spool Drag / Lift the OLD U-Spool
end (west side) – check integrity Remove OLD U-Spool using AHT/Derrick Barge
- Lowering new U-Spool in new Trench
- 1st Metrology and Fit-up (TBA)
- 1st Metrology and Fit-up new U-Spool
- Welding west point (tie-in spool will be
end to west/east point Alternative required)
- Welding west point (tie-in spool will be

- Connecting Flange (optional tie-in)
- Connecting Flange (optional tie-in)

In case tie-in using Flange is applied, lifting

and lowering works to be minimized.

TIE-IN (east point) – Cofferdam

- 2 Metrology and Fit-up new U-Spool
end to east point only
- Welding east point (tie-in spool will be
required) inside Cofferdam
- Connecting Flange (optional tie-in)
TIE-IN (east point) – Lift & Lower
- Lifting on EAST line & new U-Spool
(east side) – check integrity
