6.3 Plugging

This part does not apply to item subject to cleanliness. If an item is subject to cleanliness requirements it shall be indicated in the Tecnimont Purchase Order or Supply Specification or Material Requisition (please refer to APPENDIX A of this specification).

If not differently specified, nozzles, pipe ends or other openings shall be appropriately plugged.

Flanged nozzles of group of goods I, II and III shall be plugged as it is shown in the drawing here below (rubber plain full gasket + plywood or metallic disc, all closed by a suitable number of bolts).

Openings on goods packed in cases or in crates shall be always plugged by plastic plugs or plywood discs, secured with linen tape.

Pipes end packed in bundles shall be plugged by plastic plugs.

Fitting that are not shipped into cases secured to pallet by strapping shall be wrapped as a whole, by a double polyethylene film coating (0,1 mm min. thick) fixed by tape.

Flanged spools shall be plugged by plastic plugs or, for large diameters, by wooden plugs connected to flanges.

6.4 Seal bag

It consists of a double layer of weldable polyethylene and aluminium-cloth with the possibility of creating a vacuum allowing the material packaged inside to withstand the action of atmospheric agents and of thermal drops.

It is requested to cover sharp edges with soft material to avoid any tearing of seal bag.

It is mandatory to put an amount of dehydrating agents inside the thermo-sealed wrapping (e.g. silica gel bags) sufficient to keep the relative humidity ratio below 50% for the whole envisaged period (1Kg of silica gel or 32 DIN/MIL units or 2 NFH units per 1m3 approximately for 12 months). Antifriction material shall be inserted between the container bottom and the seal bag to prevent wrapping shearing due to the possible friction caused by vibrations during transport.

If a storage period longer than 12 months is envisaged, the thermo-sealed bags shall have to be fitted with a humidity detector (hygrometer) externally visible.

If it is necessary to perforate the seal bag to allow passage of fastening bolts, the bag integrity shall be restored with suitable gaskets.

Type of seal bag, of dehydrating agents and of the anticorrosive plastic films shall be also marked externally to make possible to recognize the type of material used.

Corrosion inhibitor (rust prevention)

TM 077/13E

PAGE 10

OF 40

PS

Unless differently reported in the project specification relevant to storage and preservation the following requirement shall be applied.

Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors (VCI) or Vapor Space Inhibitors (VSI) are generic terms to indicate corrosion preventive products, that contain environmentally safe chemicals.

All metal commodity, equipments and components subjected to corrosion (rust) or that need to be protected from atmosphere shall be processed with a suitable preservation in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications.

Preservation shall be easily applied to all kinds of metal surfaces by a variety of methods and shall coat the surface with a sufficiently thick film to exclude moisture and air. This film shall remain in position for an indefinite period of time and needs to be easily removable.

Preservation himself shall have no corrosive action of any kind on metal.

Following methods apply:

• Wrapping in Vapour Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) wraps (films or emitters) sealing with linen tape. •

Packing in totally closed wooden boxes coated with plastic film or other waterproof preservation impregnated with VCI.

•

For machined part, Vendor’s preservation specification can be applied.

When it is impractical to protect equipment by VCI products, external and internal metal unpainted surfaces that do not require sandblasting and painting on site shall be protected as follow:

•

•

•

External non-painted surfaces, except air cooler finned tubing, including bolting and flange faces, have to be thoroughly cleaned and coated with suitable removable preservation (i.e. Tectyl, Ensis, Fluid) that can prevent corrosion for minimum 12 month.

Exposed shafts and shaft couplings shall be coated with adequate removable preservation (Tectyl or equivalent product) that can prevent corrosion for minimum 12 months and protected with nylon plastic net. Shafts rotation shall be possible.

All the internal parts of rotating equipment (i.e. pumps, steam turbines, centrifugal compressor) shall be protected by suitable oil (Tectyl or VSI) easily removable before start up.

• Oil lubricated pump bearing housings, equipment cases, stuffing boxes and gearboxes shall be filled from 10 to 50% of the internal volume with VSI circulating Oil and then all openings shall be tightly sealed.

Important note:

•

•

Items in leather, mica, rubber, plastic and similar material, have not to be coated with VCI or VSI to avoid damaging.

Austenitic stainless steel equipment or piping, if agreed with Tecnimont, may be protected with a waterproof wrap to prevent any chloride contamination; the wrap has to be chloride free.

6.5.1 Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) Products

VCI papers (*)

VCI Vapor Seal is a Kraft paper that is coated with a rust inhibiting chemical. It is supplied in rolls, sheets and strips. It offers excellent protection for up to two years if applied correctly.

VCI papers give off invisible vapor that prevents oxygen in moisture from combining with iron to form rust. Materials protected with these papers shall be stored in dry, cool or shaded area. Packages may be opened briefly for inspection without loss of protection, but they shall be immediately resealed after the check.

VCI emitters (*)

VCI Emitters are sponges that have been treated with Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor. Generally they have an adhesive backing for attachment to the surface to be protected. These emitters are convenient and are an acceptable alternative to porous pouches of VCI.

PS

COLL

VCI powder

VCI is a powder and is used to protect exposed metal surfaces; excellent protection is given to ferrous metals, most nonferrous metals and non-metallic materials.

VCI reaches the metal surfaces in the vapor phase and is absorbed on the metal to form an invisible film which prevents corrosion. VCI assures constant protection for as long as two years.

VCI can be applied dry by use of suitable guns or other devices. Application must be executed in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.

(*) Consider to position VCI like in the nodes of a three-dimensional net, each 50 cm (estimated operation area of each VCI product), to fill the entire volume of packing.

6.5.2 Vapor Space Inhibiting (VSI) circulating oil

VSI circulating oil contains an oil soluble, volatile anti-rust compound. This corrosion inhibitor evaporates to form a preventive barrier towards the oxygen that is present in the moisture and in the atmosphere. VSI oil is available in several viscosity grades and is suitable to protect hydraulic components, turbines and lubricating systems.

6.6

Impact, tilt, temperature, humidity indicators and recorders

Vendor shall provide packages with suitable impact, tilt, temperature, humidity indicators if deemed necessary and in any case when marking includes symbols showing certain applicable precautions (please refer to APPENDIX B of this specification). If indicators are put inside packages or not visible, then marking shall include warning that device is present inside. In particular conditions, if deemed necessary by Vendor or required by Tecnimont, recorders shall be used instead of indicators.

PS

The above “Storage class” (A, B, C, D or E) shall be indicated in the packing list (subject to TECNIMONT comments) and in the marking too.

If required by TECNIMONT, the upper corners of the packages shall be marked by an identification coloured strip (to be defined) that is executed with indelible paint.

“PERISHABLE GOODS” has to be included in the marking if packages include perishables material.

If dehydrating agents are used, type, quantity, and location shall be marked.

If inert gases are used, gas type, pressure and precautions of use shall be indicated, warning labels “DEPRESSURIZE BEFORE OPENING” shall be applied on each opening.

10. STOWAGE

Goods shall be ALWAYS secured to the package to avoid dangerous falls or shifts during lifting and transport operations. In case of transport in containers, the package shall be secured towards the container.

When possible, the material has to be directly secured to the bottom by bolts, tie-rods, clamps or other suitable fasteners. Holders or fasteners to the walls shan’t bear static loads (i.e. loads that are present when the package is motionless); if necessary, they can be prepared to contribute to bear dynamic loads (i.e. loads generated by lifting and transport operations).

It is recommended to place heaviest parts on the bottom to increase the package stability.

Small parts will be pre-packed in wooden small-sized cases placed in the main package.

In case of transport by containers, loading, securing and roof tarpaulin handling, for OT containers only, are included into VENDORS scope of works.

11. PHYTOSANITARY MEASURES

When requested by Project Specifications or by Local Regulations of the shipment destination country, all wooden package shall be prepared in accordance with ISPM15 (International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures): all woods have to be fumigated or heat treated and then marked with the official stamp or brand, internationally recognized, to attest phytosanitary status.

The certification marking has to be visible on at least three sides of the package.

Marking for wood fumigated

Marking for wood heat treated

Expiration of wood treatment, if any, shall be clearly indicated.

Fumigation of single full containers is allowed (certificate must be provided).

In case the packing does not match with local regulations, costs due to inadequate or not in compliance with the above will be at VENDOR charges.

13.2.6.1 Bottom

The bottom consists of wooden adjoining boards that are fixed transversally to two or more longitudinal underlying beams.

Some transversal or longitudinal underbeams are positioned under the longitudinal beams and they are nailed to them. The underbeams raise the bottom from the floor, so they allow the passage and the positioning of lifting ropes or forks.

The bottom is normally strengthened by two transversal head-beams that are fixed on the boarding by nailing - for thickness up to 6 cm or by bolting (for higher thickness).

The load distributors are other further possible components of transversal strengthening for the bottom. They are used to strengthen the case bottom where the two lifting points are situated or to subdivide the load on the longitudinal beams.

The minimum sections of the bottom components are written in the following tables. They are valid as measures of reference with the following specifications:

•

•

•

the number of the bottom beams is defined on the basis of a maximum centre distance of 100 cm;

beams of a smaller dimensional category can be used for the packing of skid, that is plants, machineries etc. that have a self-load-bearing structure;

the section of the possible load distributors shall be calculated on the basis of the stress that is generated in the bottom during the lifting operations;

13.2.6.2 Side Walls and Cover

The walls (sides and heads) and the cover consist of an internal frame and an external panel. The wall frame is made up of horizontal crossbeams and vertical struts; the cover frame is made up of longitudinal crossbeams and transversal cut-down sizes.

When a Wooden Board Case is selected, or anyway over 30’000 kg, the wall and cover shall be formed by wooden adjoining boards (see the figure); the beams shall be minimum 12 cm width.

For all type of cases, covers and walls shall be waterproofed: the cover by a polyethylene film (minimum thickness 0,5 mm) and the walls by a polyethylene film (minimum thickness 0,1 mm). These films shall be installed between the external panel and the internal frame. In addition a polyethylene film, with minimum thickness 1 mm, shall be applied above the cover.

The bottom shall permit and facilitate the drainage of possible condensation or liquids.

From 1000 kg weight, cases shall have an auxiliary frame, installed in the sidewalls. It consists of an upper horizontal crossbeam and of vertical struts. The scope is to reinforce the walls in order to improve stackability of cases.

The minimum sections of the wall and cover components and the minimum number of horizontal crossbeams are written in the following tables.

The saddles are shaped structures, normally concave, made of wood or steel and secured to the equipments to be packed.

The saddles are suitable to pack self-supporting equipments (but supplied without instrumentation or insulation installed)

The minimum indicative length of the saddles shall be at least the same as the external diameter of the equipment to facilitate the anchorage between the saddles and the equipment itself.

The width of the saddles is suggested by the following table; as a rule the baseboards are built with the same length and width as the plates to which they are fixed.

The depth of the cradle shall be at least equal to 15% of equipment diameter. For example, for the equipment is 2 m diameter, the depth of the cradle shall be at least 30 cm.

The ground elevation reached by an equipment placed on saddles shall be as minimum as possible in order not to compromise the strength of the saddles and the passage of the lifting ropes (unless it is used another kind of lifting, for example by lifting plugs).

Number of saddles to be prepared (2, 3 or more) is defined on the basis of the technical information of the manufacturer and depends on the equipment weight, rigidity and to the method of transport planned, in order to allow a correct distribution of the weight on the load plane.

The combination of the length and width measures, the number of the saddles or of the baseboards and the total weight (equipment + saddles) shall generate a bearing load not over 10.000 kg/m². For example 2 saddles of 200 x 50 cm are suitable to support a total weight not over 20.000 kg (2 x 0,5 x 2 x 10.000).

The saddles are built in a single beam wood piece or by superimposing more beams in crossed layers; in the second case the beams that go from the base to the lowest point of the cradle shall be made in a piece only in order not to compromise the strength of the cradles.

The saddles shall be firmly anchored to the equipment, alternatively by:

• •

steel rope, of suitable section, covered by a protective rubber sheath;

steel hoop, of suitable section (min. 50 x 3 mm), by putting a protective strip between the hoop and the equipment.

It is also possible to use metallic saddles that shall be completed with rubber strips placed between the saddles and the equipment or wooden baseboards fixed to the saddle base plates by bolts or passing thread bars.

13.5.4.2 Saddle on Slide

Saddle on slide shall be used for loading into box containers. The saddles are connected to each other by longitudinal boards. The slides facilitate the packages loading/downloading in/from box containers.

For this type of packing the slide shall be made in one piece only with a bevel on the extremity to facilitate package slipping on container floor.

13.5.4.3 Double Saddle

Double saddle shall be used for Bituminized pipes and pipe-lines in general above 14” diameter a straw mattress - or a similar product - shall be placed between the support cradles and the pipe (see the figure).
