1.1

EPC for HAIL & GHASHA Development Project

The Hail & Ghasha Development (HGD) Project is of strategic importance to the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The Project will develop the untapped oil and gas reserves from the highly sour Hail and Ghasha fields. Production is targeted to start by Q4 2027 with sustainable production of 1 BSCFD of raw gas, and max production of 82.5 MSBPD of Oil, 76.3 MSBPD of Condensate, 9000 TPD of Sulphur and 5030 TPD of NGL. In addition, Project will capture 1.52 million tonnes of CO2 per year taking ADNOC’s committed investment for carbon capture capacity.

The Hail and Ghasha fields are situated offshore ABU DHABI about 140 kms away from ABU DHABI mainland in water depths varying from 0 to 15 meters.

The HGD Project comprises the following:

• Artificial Islands Construction;

• Offshore package – EPC 01: Offshore Drilling Centers (DCs), subsea Pipelines, Umbilicals, Power Cable Connections, Seawater Intake Structure, Bridges, Risers, Flare Structure, facilities at Ghasha Offshore Processing Plant (“GOP”);

• Onshore package – EPC 02: Manayif Onshore Processing Plant (“OPP”), Manayif

Utilities, Offsite Pipelines & Tie-ins, Main Control and Other Buildings.

The HGD Project will be executed in a single phase approach. It will start production from three Drilling Centers (Reeah, Jzool & Seebah) in Ghasha Field to GOP and from Gaff Island in Hail field to OPP. Remaining Drilling Centres, gas injection, and other associated facilities will be developed in ‘future’ to sustain production from Hail & Ghasha fields.

Rev. No: 1 Page 58 of 176

After the data collected during the inspection of the structures or components are reviewed, the different categories of maintenance operation should be defined.

Based on the requirements reported in this Specification, the categories of maintenance operations listed in the following items may be performed.

For the purpose of this Specification the different maintenance painting options are identified as follows:

Refurbishment:

i. Spot Repair

ii. Spot Repair and Full Topcoat

Renovation

Renovation and complete recoat

For interpretation of the requirements listed for each maintenance painting option governed by this Specification, the following definitions related to the rust distribution have been used:

Spot rusting: spot rust occurs when the rust formation is concentrated in a few localized areas of the

coated surfaces under examination.

General rusting: general rusting occurs when various size of rust spots is randomly distributed across the

surfaces under examination.

Pin-point rusting: pin-pointing rusting occurs when the rust is distributed across the surfaces under

examination as very small individual spot of rust.

Refurbishment

17.2.1 Spot Repair

The spot repair has to be considered refurbishments operation namely repairs of the existing coating, performed by surface preparation and touch-up of localized areas of deteriorated coating and corrosion.

As guideline the spot repair should be considered if the extension of the spot rusting or deteriorated coating is less than 3% localized or when the general rusting, randomly distributed across the surface, is up to rust grade Ri2 (0.5%) in accordance with ISO 4628-3.

This type of maintenance painting option shall not be selected if the pattern of the rust is pin-point rusting type, distributed across the surface. Any degree of pin-point rusting shall require renovation as described below.

The presence of other defects such as blistering, cracking, flaking and chalking shall be rated respectively according to ISO 4628-2, ISO 4628-4, ISO 4628-5 and ISO 4628-6. The degree of these defects shall be rated in addition to the rust grade and taking into consideration for the selection of the maintenance painting option intended to be performed. As general guide spot repair should be considered as well in the following circumstances:

The zone and / or areas of the structures to be repaired are hidden or in low-visibility area and thus

unimportant to the aesthetics.

Structures are small, not requiring extensive scaffolding or difficult-to-reach areas

AGES-SP-07-004

Rev. No: 1 Page 59 of 176

17.2.2 Spot Repair and Full Topcoat

The spot repair and full topcoat involves spot repairs of deteriorated coating and corroded areas followed by the application of a topcoat over the entire surfaces, including spot repair areas and intact coating areas.

Spot repair and recoating should be considered if the extension of the spot rusting or deteriorated coating is less than 8% localized or when the general rusting, randomly distributed across the surface is greater than Ri2 (0.5%) and up to rust grade Ri4 (8%) in accordance with standard ISO 4628-3.

This type of maintenance shall not be selected if the pattern is of the pin-pointing rusting type distributed across the surface. Any degree of pinpoint rust shall require renovation as described below.

The presence of other defects such as blistering, cracking, flaking and chalking shall be rated respectively according to ISO 4628-2, 4628-4, ISO 4628-5 and ISO 4628-6. The degree of these defects shall be rated in addition to the rust grade and taking into consideration for the selection of the type of maintenance intended to be performed.

This maintenance painting option should often delay the need to remove the complete existing and intact coating. Spot Repair and Full Topcoat may be considered under the following circumstances:

The intact surfaces of the structures and components intended to be recoated can be easily cleaned,

degreased and ready to be top coated.

Adequate evaluation of over coating risk and assessment of the adhesion of the existing coating.

17.2.3 Renovation and Complete Recoat

This type of maintenance shall be performed on the entire surfaces of the components or on extensive localized areas. The renovation operation involves removing the complete existing coating and of all corrosion products followed by the application of the original paint system applied during construction provided by the applicable painting systems listed in this specification.

Renovation should be considered if the extension of the rust areas or deteriorated coating is higher than those described under spot repair and recoating namely spot rusting greater than 8% or general rusting greater than Ri4 (8%) in accordance with ISO 4628-3, including all surfaces affected by pin-pointing rusting type, distributed at any rate across the surface.

As guide, the renovation and complete recoat may be considered as well in the following circumstances:

The overall coating conditions of the structures or components are poor due to the presence of extensive

rusted and damaged areas.

When the remaining life of the structures or component justifies this type of maintenance.

Spot Repair Procedure

After pre-cleaning, small defects in the existing coating system shall be (spot) blast cleaned.

Carbon steel, low-alloy steels and hot dip galvanized steels shall be spot blasted to the visual standard of SSPC- SP 10 / NACE No. 2 at the time of coating. The cleaned defects shall be touched-up to the specified coating thickness. Spot repair shall be considered if the coated area has localized (spot) rusting only and the remaining coating system is sound and adequate. Coating next to the damaged area shall be lightly abraded by sweep blasting achieving a minimum overlap of 2 inch. Alternatively, if abrasive blasting is infeasible, pneumatic power tool cleaning is allowed. However, in these instances, the recommended power tool is the MBX bristle blaster or equivalent and approved by COMPANY. This specially developed surface preparation tool can achieve the required anchor profile and near white cleanliness required of epoxy coatings. If the area of the repair is less than 30 cm² (1 ft²), the surface shall be abraded by using the MBX bristle blaster. All other requirements above apply.

Repairs to coating systems shall be made using the same materials as the base system. If a paint system is repaired with components that are incompatible with the underlying materials, dis-bonding and under corrosion will result. When recoating existing facilities and the information on the original paint system is unknown, determine whether the repair system is compatible with and will adhere to the existing paint system before using the repair system on a large scale. One or more of the following steps may be required:

Request recommendations from the repair system Coating MANUFACTURER and the existing system

Coating MANUFACTURER (if known).

Apply the repair material to a test area and determine compatibility and adhesion. This step is always

recommended. This is particularly important where:

i. A gloss retention coat was used,

ii. The original paint is not readily identifiable,

AGES-SP-07-004

Rev. No: 1 Page 61 of 176

iii. Consider using a universal primer Bargrier coat as an intermediate coat. When repairing a paint system with a polyurethane topcoat, first apply epoxy primers and intermediate paint systems to the repair area(s).

Use sweep blasting, or a similar abrading process, to remove the polyurethane topcoat and roughen the sound coating only in the affected area. Roughening ensures the repair system will adhere to the edges of the polyurethane.

Apply surface tolerant epoxy primer only over polyurethane that has been sweep blasted or abraded. Epoxy material applied over the unprepared polyurethane topcoat will disband and cause coating failure.

Once the surface tolerant epoxy primer has been applied to the repair area and cured, polyurethane may be applied over the epoxy with a minimum of 50 mm (2 in) overlap onto the existing topcoat. Final DFT’s for all coating work shall be documented and shall not be exceeded to 600 microns.

Spot Repair and Full Topcoat Procedure

After the complete initially coated surfaces have been pre-cleaned, defects in the existing coating system shall be (spot) blast cleaned. Carbon steel, low-alloy steels and hot dip galvanized steels shall be spot blasted to the visual standard SSPC-SP 10 / NACE No. 2 at the time of coating. If the remaining part of the existing coating system needs sweep-blasting, fine abrasive shall be used to avoid damage to the coating system. The cleaned defects shall be touched-up with the base layers of the specified coating system. Thereafter a full coat of the initial top layer(s) shall be applied. Refurbishment shall be considered if the whole coated area shows more rusting than described under spot repair. Refurbishment shall not be selected if the rusting pattern is of the pinpointed type. Any degree of pinpoint rusting shall require renovation; see below.

Renovation Procedure

After the complete initially coated surfaces have been pre-cleaned, all surfaces shall be blast cleaned. Carbon steel and low-alloy steels shall be blasted to the visual standard SSPC-SP 10 / NACE No. 2 at the time of coating. After the surface preparation, a completely new coating system shall be applied. Renovation shall be considered if the rusting pattern as described in ISO-4628-3 is pin-pointed over the whole coated area or if the rust grades are higher than those described under refurbishment.

Stainless Steels

Where coating maintenance to stainless steel surfaces is required, the entire surface shall be thoroughly sweep blasted to remove flaking and poorly adherent paint and to provide a surface roughness to any well-adhered paint surfaces. This shall then be followed by the appropriate, compatible maintenance painting system.

SECTION B PART 3 - TECHNICAL REQUIREMENT (INTERNAL COATING OF LINE PIPE FOR NON-CORROSIVE SALES GAS TRANSMISSION)

INTRODUCTION

This section describes the minimum requirements for the internal coating of line pipe for non-corrosive sales gas transmission.

The application of Internal flow coating systems promotes two primary functions:-

Reduced gas friction by provision of a very smooth surface profile.

The inhibiting of Black Powder* formation within the gas pipeline.

The term “Black Powder” is a colour descriptive term used to describe a blackish material (very small, jagged and very hard particles) that can develop within the gas pipelines) due to a reaction of Fe with condensed moisture, containing O2, H2S and CO2) which leads to erosion failures and damage to pipeline operational valves, lowers efficiency of compressors and clogs instruments. This is a world-wide problem that affects most gas Pipeline operators.

The coating may also offer short term corrosion protection during transport and storage, however additional preservation measures may still be required.

It specifies the requirements for coating materials, coating application, inspection and testing and gives procedures for the qualification of coating materials and SUB-CONTRACTORs.

General coating qualification is performed for the purpose of an overall qualification of coating system and SUB- CONTRACTOR but is not necessarily related to a specific project.

With this process, a list of qualified coating systems and SUB-CONTRACTORs is developed, from which the COMPANY may select a coating system and SUB-CONTRACTOR for a specific project. It saves time and avoids re-qualification for similar projects. The general qualification is given independent of line pipe diameter and wall thickness. When required for specific projects, additional testing should be performed on different line pipe diameters and wall thicknesses.

COATING AND SUB-CONTRACTOR QUALIFICATION

General

The coating material shall typically be two-pack epoxy paint. It shall not contain any substances which will be released from the paint film after it has cured and are proven to be detrimental to the operation of the pipeline and the quality of the gas.

Unless otherwise agreed, the coating material shall be qualified in accordance with 28.3 and 28.4 and shall not be changed after qualification.

The MANUFACTURER of the coating material shall provide on request infrared spectrograms of the base component and the curing agent component (see 28.3.8).

In addition, the Coating MANUFACTURER shall provide a product data sheet (see 28.6), a health and safety data sheet and a certificate stating the test results obtained in accordance with 28.3 and 28.4 respectively and, if applicable, deviating test conditions.

AGES-SP-07-004

Rev. No: 1 Page 76 of 176

The Coating MANUFACTURER shall also provide with every batch of the coating material a batch test certificate stating the information as given in 28.8.

Before a coating system may be applied in a production run, the CONTRACTOR shall submit all the data specified in (28.6) and (28.7) and shall ensure that both the coating system and the SUB-CONTRACTOR have been qualified in accordance with the procedures in (28.4) and (0).

Coating Material Qualification

Qualification shall be carried out according to the following procedures:

Where it states Annexure, please refer to Document ISO 1574 for explanation

The CONTRACTOR or the Coating MANUFACTURER shall show that samples of the coating system applied on panels of the specified material have been successfully subjected to the tests as specified in Table 28.4. The tests shall be carried out by an independent and certified test laboratory or, if approved by the COMPANY, by the Coating MANUFACTURER. The COMPANY shall witness the application and the tests.

The number of panels to be tested and the test procedures are also given in Table 28.4.

If agreed by the COMPANY, previous qualification data can be used provided that the referred tests have been carried out using the same coating system and the same coating process as specified in the contract. With the approval of the COMPANY, tests carried out in accordance with other coating standards may be used insofar as their procedures are the same as or more stringent than the procedures in this specification.

Such information shall include full reports on test procedures and results and be signed by the laboratory representatives and certification body.

Where, subsequently, external coatings have to be applied, care shall be taken not to allow the internal coating to be damaged by the elevated temperatures which may occur.

A8.3.4 Basic Identification Colours with Onshore Coding Systems

The basic identification colours only designate broad categories of fluids and it will often be necessary to break these down further depending upon function. For example, the basic identification colour for all oils is brown, but it may be necessary to differentiate between the live crude, stabilized crude, lubrication oil, seal oil etc. In this case the same principles apply, in that the base identification colour will identify the prime nature of the pipe contents and supplementary banding will provide further identification.

The base colour will be applied in two bands 150mm in length applied either side of the colour code indication. The colour code indication will consist of one band 150mm in length or three bands of 50mm in length as shown in Appendix Table 8.16

SAFETY COLOUR CODING AND IDENTIFICATION - OFFSHORE

Offshore has established a background-coding scheme for its offshore and onshore operating facilities. This scheme unifies the finish colour of similar structures or differentiates between groups of operating facilities from another depending upon its field origin. Unlike colour identification of pipework and services as detailed within this Appendix, the following colour coding does not identify a particular service.

In the Appendix Table 9.17 and

Appendix Table 9.18, unless otherwise specified during project stage, the final colours of structures, equipment and machinery surfaces, included or installed on offshore structures are defined.

Colour Coding for Umm Shaif / Lower Zakum / Nasr / Umm Lulu Offshore Structures

The colours specified in Appendix Table 9.17 shall be used as an overall finish of the external surfaces of the relevant plant, pipework or structure offshore.

Colour Identification of Pipework and Services

All known pipework conveying fluids in liquid and / or gaseous states are covered by this Specification. Pipelines in services, which are not covered by this scheme and required to be colour identified, shall refer to the authorised Offshore group to advise appropriate colour identification.

Colour Identification Scheme

The transported fluids in the pipe shall be identified with the basic or with the additional identification colours according respectively to the Appendix Table 9.22 and Appendix Table 9.23.

Commodity having properties in common are grouped under one basic colour e.g. oil, water, gas, chemicals.

Individual characteristics of different services within the common group are distinguished by a secondary colour.

Any pipework originally painted (background colour coded) along its entire length with one of the basic colours, an aluminium contrast band shall be used as an additional outer most colour to distinguish between the decorative colour and the basic colour identification of this particular pipework.

Application of the Pipeline Identification Colours

A9.7.1 Colour Identification Band Lay-Out

The colour identifying all pipeline contents within Offshore facilities are listed in Appendix Table 9.26. The colour coding shall consist of three bands, the outside colour bands shall be the basic identification colour for a particular family of commodity, and the central band shall represent the secondary colour allocated for characterizing further the type of fluid within this major family or group (see Appendix Figure 9.4).

A9.7.2 Contrasting Bands

The protective or background colour code of the pipe shall not account for the basic identification colours. If the decorative colour interacts with the basic colour, a strip of aluminium band (50 mm) wide shall be applied at the outer edges of the basic colours (see Appendix Figure 9.4).

AGES-SP-07-004

Rev. No: 1 Page 134 of 176

A9.7.3 Surface Preparation

Prior to the application of the colour identification bands, directional flow arrows, contrasting band and line numbers, all surfaces shall be degreased, high pressure fresh water washed and allowed to dry. If required the relevant surfaces, prior to the application of the colour identification bands may be slightly abraded using fine emery paper.

A9.7.4 Marking Lines in Close Proximity

In instances where a run of multiple lines exist e.g. pipe racks or major pipe supports, the colour identification, flow direction arrows and line numbers shall be positioned directly in line with one another on individual pipes and shall be easily visible.

A9.7.5 Safety Related Pipework

Pipework related to safety, such as fire protection, firewater, foam piping, etc. when specified for colour coding should be entirely coated from origin to all extremities in Poppy Red (04 E 53).

Materials

The application of the colour identification shall be employed using approved Polyurethane paint applied over a contrasting high build undercoat matching British colour BS 4800. The former materials shall be chosen from COMPANY Approved Paint products.

A9.8.1 Location of Colour identification

Colour coding should be applied to the pipe as follows:

On all sides of and adjacent to valves, and other important fittings.

Where pipes enter and emerge from walls, roads and walkway overpasses.

Upstream and downstream lines from vessels, tanks, compressors, pumps and other major equipment.

At uniform intervals not exceeding 20m along horizontal or vertical section of pipework.

AGES-SP-07-004

Rev. No: 1 Page 135 of 176

Additional Details for Colour Identification of Pipe Works

A9.9.1 Direction of Flow

The flow direction shall be shown on all pipelines in conjunction with the colour identification. This shall be indicated by an arrow stencilled on the line. The base of the arrow should be situated 400 mm away from the colour identification and in the most visible position (see Appendix Figure 9.4).

All markers should be positioned such that they are visibly pleasing.

A9.9.2 Line Number

All lines 2” NPS and larger shall be marked / identified with the line number by stencilling. Line number shall be applied at the start and end of the line (minimum requirement) and at intervals not exceeding 20m along horizontal or vertical section of pipework (see Appendix Figure 9.4).

Work Identification Number (WIN)

All equipment vessels, tanks, rotating machinery and any other plant equipment, which is assigned a WIN/UTC number must show this number stencilled, in the most visible position.

Size of Lettering and Numerals

Lettering and numeral height shall be equivalent to half pipe diameter with a minimum of 2” and a maximum of 6”.

Colour Coding of Storage Tanks Exterior and Components

Offshore has established a background coding scheme for its offshore and onshore operating facilities. This scheme unifies the finish colour of similar structures or differentiate between a group of operating facilities from another depending upon its field origin. Unlike colour identification of pipework and services as detailed in this Appendix of this of this Specification, the following colour coding does not identify a particular service.

In Appendix Table 9.25, unless otherwise specified during project stage and submitted to the COMPANY for approval, are defined the final colours of storage and process tanks exterior included or installed on onshore structures related to the field of origin.

The CONTRACTOR should refer to SSPC-TR 3 / NACE 6A192 - “Dehumidification and Temperature Control during Surface Preparation, Application, and Curing for Coatings / Linings of Steel Tanks, Vessels, and Other Enclosed Areas” for guidance.

The air temperature, relative humidity, dew point and steel temperature are to be recorded hourly throughout the duration of the work through a computerized system as well as verified manually.

A detailed method statement on how the CONTRACTOR proposes to maintain the environmental conditions throughout the duration of the work is to be submitted.

AGES-SP-07-004

Rev. No: 1 Page 170 of 176

Suitable enclosed changing areas shall be provided for personnel to change PPE prior to entering the tank through an air lock.

Entrance and exit of personnel to the tank must be controlled to reduce possible contamination.

All ducting to be sealed at manholes and no manhole shall be left open to the atmosphere. The roof shall be sealed and shaded from direct sunlight. Additionally, tarpaulin shall be used to seal the area between the roof edge and the shell to prevent contamination from falling onto the tank shell and bottom.

The CONTRACTOR should refer to SSPC-Guide 12 to determine the quantity and quality of lighting that is conducive to achieving quality surface preparation, coating application, inspection and accident prevention. All lighting shall conform to COMPANY Safety Regulations.

Degree of Cleanliness and Surface Profile

Surface preparation to Sa 3 with a surface profile of 75 - 100 microns

Open Blasting

Blasting shall start on nozzles, pipes, shell, around the legs and the annular plate by means of open blasting. Appropriately sized abrasives shall be used. Following the completion of the open blasting, spent abrasives shall be removed and the roof underside blown down with compressed air to remove residual dust; this should be followed by a complete vacuum cleaning of the tank floor using industrial vacuum cleaners.

Vacuum Blasting

Following the completion of all open blasting of the shell and associated components, the floor shall be blasted using fully enclosed shot blasting machines (vacuum blasting - dust free blasting). In order to reduce the possibility of contamination by using hydraulically powered machines electrically powered machines are to be used. A full Risk Assessment covering the use of electrically powered blasting machines must be submitted by the CONTRACTOR.

A mixture of a steel grit and shot shall be utilized to produce the desired angular surface profile. Vacuum blasting shall only commence following the completion of the open blasting.

All abrasive material used for both open and vacuum blasting shall meet the requirements of this specification.

Priming (in case of Dehumidification Failure)

In case of dehumidification failure and before rust blooming occurs, all abrasive blasted surfaces (open and vacuum) are to be immediately coated with an approved holding primer. The holding primer shall be spray applied at a thickness not to exceed 30 µm. If the holding primer is applied to a thickness that visibly masks the anchor pattern, it shall be removed by abrasive blast cleaning and reapplied.

Hand Lay-up Application

Only COMPANY approved GFRE systems applied by approved application CONTRACTORs shall be considered for this work. Primers, caulking / coving materials, laminating resin, and topcoats shall be supplied by one Lining MANUFACTURER.

Once the entire leg landing plates have been treated as described in this specification clause 8.9.8 below, the laminate for shell and floor can be laid.

The glass fibre hand lay-up application to the floor may start only after the following progress has been achieved:

AGES-SP-07-004

Rev. No: 1 Page 171 of 176

All open blasting / lining / painting / inspection of the shell and nozzles is completed.

Minimum 50% of the floor vacuum blasted.

Minimum 20% of the landing legs laminated plates are in place.

Landing Legs Reinforcing Plates

A number of pre-cut plates (striker plates) shall be cut to size (a nominal diameter of approximately 1” less than the in-situ plate). The edges of the pre-cut plates shall be ground smooth and abrasive blast the plates to Sa 3 with a surface profile of 75-100 microns.

The plates shall be prepared in the following manner:

Apply the approved catalysed epoxy resin to plate and lay-in the approved glass reinforcing mat.

Apply further catalysed epoxy resin.

Consolidate with a metal washer roller.

Lay in a second layer of the glass reinforcing mat. The whole to be consolidated with a metal washer

roller to ensure that no air is trapped within the mat.

Apply the gel coat in the approved manner. The plates are then left allowed to attain full cure. Once cured,

the edges are to be trimmed.

Support the weight of the roof around each leg in turn following this procedure:

For roof legs - remove leg completely, for landing pads, and bleeder vents raise leg / pad a minimum of

25 mm.

Using solvent soaked rags, clean away any sludge trapped directly under the leg, if any. Allow to dry.

Abrasive blast, using a vacuum system, to Sa 3.

Prepare epoxy mortar compound and apply to the welds of the in-situ plates under each leg forming a

fillet, allow to cure.

Apply catalysed epoxy resin to the in-situ plate and consolidate two layers of 450 gm/square meter mat into the resin. The resin and mat must overlay the edges of the epoxy mortar fillet of the in-situ plate by at least 150 mm.

Insert the pre-prepared GFRE coated plate (striker plates), cured laminated side up, under the leg, ensuring the plate is centred.

Allow the leg to gently settle on the plate, this will force the plate into the wet glass fibre reinforced epoxy

system.

Fit a split protective PVC / steel cover of adequate dimension over the reinforcing plate to protect the

GFRP, and then make good any damaged surfaces.

After curing, the edge between the pre-prepared plated and the in-situ plate is to be filled with an epoxy

mortar.

When applying the GFRE treatment to the remainder of the tank floor the resin and glass mat

reinforcement shall overlap the new base plates by 10 cm minimum all around.

The above work may be carried out on a limited number of legs simultaneously, but the CONTRACTORs shall not attempt to jack up or remove the load from adjacent supports without the prior knowledge and consent of

AGES-SP-07-004

Rev. No: 1 Page 172 of 176

COMPANY’s representative. The CONTRACTORs shall provide jacks and packing of the temporary support of roof legs.

When laminate and epoxy mortar fillet have cured, protect with polyethylene sheet held in place with mastic tape.

Epoxy Mortar / Caulking

After abrasive blasting, prepare epoxy mortar as per Lining MANUFACTURER / SUPPLIER instructions and apply to all floor and shell welds, forming a smooth fillet between plates, leaving no step or ledge. This is completed to ensure the GFRE does not encounter rough edges and minimizes the risk of entrapped air.

All welds, plate laps, reinforcing plates, roof support plates, rivets, holes and corrosion pits are to be caulked, to a clean smooth finish, with the epoxy mortar.

At least (4) four DFT readings per square meter shall be taken and recorded to verify the applied thickness.

Measurement for conformance to a thickness specification.

AGES-SP-07-004

Rev. No: 1 Page 175 of 176

Measure twenty (20) separate spot measurements (average of 4 readings per spot of 4-cm diameter) spaced evenly over an area of 20 square meters. This area corresponds to the surface area of one complete floor plate, which can be considered the unit area for the subject application.

The average of the twenty (20) spot measurements for each full plate shall not be less than the minimum specified thickness. No more than two single spot measurements (the average of 4 readings at each spot) in any unit area shall be less than 20% of the specified minimum; this value is defined as the critical dry film thickness.

The critical dry film thickness of the main laminate system is 2,000 microns, beyond which repair work shall be considered.

The critical dry film thickness of the complete laminate system (i.e. the main laminate and gel coat) is 2,240 microns, beyond which repair work shall be considered.

Holiday Detection

The main laminate system shall be holiday tested using high voltage spark tester at 6 KV. However, the

completed laminate system shall be holiday detected at 10 KV.

Any spot which fail the high voltage spark test at the prescribed voltage shall be repaired and re-tested

at the same voltage.

A14.13.1 Pull-off and Hardness Tests

COMPANY shall retain the right to request and or conduct, destructive adhesion testing as and where it is considered necessary. The values obtained from the test shall in no case be lower than the values obtained during the pre-qualification test carried out by COMPANY. A minimum value of 5.0 N/mm2 would be acceptable.

Bargcol Hardness test shall be carried out on the test plates as per ASTM D2583.

DESCRIPTION:

Reference is made to the comment received by COMPANY to project document no. 1-CF0000-25- SPE-0702-00 Rev. B1, that considers fluorocarbon coating not recommended for offshore and sour service environment, (see extract here below):

CONTRACTOR proposes the alternative use of Xylar 1 or 2 (Ceramic Primer) as base coat followed by Xylan 1070 as topcoat for Operating Temperature from Ambient up to 463°C, with the following thicknesses:

A. The Ceramic Primer (Base Coat - Xylar 1 or 2 they are in essence the same product) shall

be applied to a dry film thickness (DFT) of 15 to 25 microns,

B. The Finish Coat, Xylan-1070 (used as Topcoat) shall be applied to a DFT of 15 to 25

microns.

Total Dry Film Thickness (DFT) shall be between 30 and 50 microns.

This this regard, CONTRACTOR would like to highlight that Xylar 1 and 2 provide corrosion protection even at high temperature, while Xylan 1 or 2 will protect the fasteners from corrosion at temperatures higher than 200°C.

Same approach has been followed by CONTRACTOR for previous Project done for ADNOC, i.e. Shah Gas Project.

COMPANY is kindly requested to confirm its concurrency with CONTRACTOR proposal.
