A copy of this MS must be kept either on site. All personnel must be familiar with this document prior to commencing any work. Any risks identified as part of this MS must have adequate control methods identified prior to commencement of work. This Safe Work Method Statement must be explained to all personnel involved in the work process, prior to commencing work.
2. Scope-
This method statement describes the steps to be followed pipes.
in excavation and
repair of 14” GRE pipelines
This Method Statement generalizes the different recipes prepared specifically for this project. The recipe specifies the minimum laminate thickness, the bonding and the number of layers will be calculated after physical inspection, the resin type will be isophtalic polyester resin (siropol 7440 ) according to specification. All parameters to be considered as per the joint diameter (14”) and the line pressure The laminators should make sure that they are carrying the right recipe related to the joint diameter & line pressure rating.
3. ResponsibilitiesProject Engineer Project Engineer is responsible for assisting Project Manager to control the project and a co-ordination between site and management.
Site Engineer Site Engineer is responsible for executing the job and manpower control according to plan schedule to work and client/customer standard.

PROCEDURE
A. PREPARATIONS
All necessary work permits will be secured from WOQOD Operations prior to start of any activity. Ensure all the workers and staffs that will be involved in the work have undergone WOQOD Safety Awareness Induction given by the Authorized in WOQOD organization prior to work. Ensure all the needed materials, tools and equipment are available and that vehicle(s) to be used on site have been inspected and approved by WOQOD Safety. Install all needed safety barricades and signage. Check for pipes identification code/class etc., and ensure that they are as per approved isometrics.

B. WORK EXECUTION
Mobilization to WOQOD site and arrange laydown area. Site survey and taking dimensions, check the location for the joints, fittings and supports, barricade for excavation,
Excavation, inspection for leak.
Fabrication of GRP 14’’ pipes, fittings and flanges at GRE vendor’s workshop if applicable.
Start site lamination ,spool fabrication and fittings lamination
Reference drawings will be made available on site and planned activities will be discussed and made clear to the understanding of each worker that will be involved in the work. Check the alignment on the new supports, pipe rack and level of pipes. After curing of the laminated joints, carryout barcol test. Back fill of excavation
Pipe Cutting & Lamination Cutting
The old GRE pipeline will be cut by grinder of steel disc, the tip below will be cut in order to remove any likely of water in the pipe, after the water has been removed, the whole pipe fittings will be cut if applicable External Lamination Fit layer
a. Measure and mark the fit layer bond length of 50 mm from the end of each pipe. b. Grind by angle grinder with emery disc the above area to remove the topcoat & surface layer of the pipes until the pipe glass fiber are exposed. The maximum depth of grinding should be within 0.3-1.0mm depth from top layer. c. Clean this area by dry clean cloth or paintbrush and ensure that it is fully dry.Ensure that the gap between the two pipes to be laminated is within the allowable limit of 0-3 mm for diameters up to & including Ø1800 mm. d. Fill the gap, if any, between the two pipes with milled-glass fiber resin putty. Note: The milled-glass fiber resin putty is compatible with desalinated water/ seawater/ hypo chlorite solution. e. Impregnate by lamb wool roller the roughened area with the resin catalyst mixture mentioned in the recipe.

f. Apply woven roving glass 270 using a 50% overlap between each two consecutive windings so that wrapping the full surface will end up with two layers of glass. g. Impregnate by lamb wool roller the above layers with the resin catalyst mixture. h. Use aluminum roller to remove entrapped air and blisters. i. Repeat the above two steps till the required number of layers is applied as specified in the recipe. j. Wait till the lamination is cured under ambient temperature. Once the fit laminate is tack free, it is ready for the main laminate preparations. Main Laminate
a. Measure and mark the bond length as specified in the recipe on each pipe from the middle of the fit layer. b. Grind by angle grinder with emery disc the cured fit laminate and the pipe as per the mark bonding length until the pipe glass fiber are exposed in order to roughen the pipe surface to have good bonding prior to the main laminate. The maximum depth of grinding should be within 0.3-1.0mm depth from top layer. c. Special Note: If ground area is left under dusty weather conditions (with sand) or left exposed for more than one day under any weather condition; it is mandatory to clean the grinded area with a dry clean cloth or paintbrush and ensure that it is fully clean & dry. d.
A proper mixture of resin and catalyst is prepared as per recipe.
e. Impregnate by lamb wool roller the roughened area of the above area with the resin catalyst mixture. f. Apply woven roving glass 270 using 50% overlap between each two consecutive windings so that wrapping the full surface will end up with two layers of glass. g. Impregnate by lamb wool rollers the above layers with the resin catalyst mixture. h. Repeat the above two steps till the required number of layers is applied as specified in the recipe. i. Apply woven roving glass 360 using 50% overlap between each two consecutive windings so that wrapping the full surface will end up with two layers of glass j. Impregnate by lamb wool rollers the above layers with the resin catalyst mixture. k. Repeat the above two steps till the required number of layers is applied as specified in the attached recipe at this stage as “initial winding”. l. Apply the specified number of layers of woven roving 580 and 360 alternatively. Each type of glass should be applied in four consecutive layers before changing to the other type. Every two layers should be impregnated before applying the second two layers of the same type

m. Apply two “sealing layers” of woven roving glass 360
n.
Impregnate by lamb wool roller the above layers with the resin catalyst mixture
o.
Wind 2 layers of top tape glass around the laminate to extract the excess quantity of resin and to provide smooth surface.
p.
The lamination will harden under ambient temperature .Make sure that the joint is undisturbed for a MINIMUM of 12 hours.
q.
Once the curing of the lamination is completed, inspection and the required test of the lamination joint can be carried out as per the Inspection & Test Plan; the laminated joint shall be considered accepted only after passing the hydrostatic test. However, as per document Inspection & Test Plan, FPI Qatar supervisor shall certify at site each joint prior to the hydrostatic test.
Operations will have to pressurize the line after the connection is made complete and quality inspections are done and comments satisfied. Re-check laminated connection after 24 hours the line is put in service.
