1. INTRODUCTION
Offshore Construction Specialists (OCS) was formed in 2007 from a core group of marine
construction engineers to provide construction management, engineering and strategic support
equipment services primarily to the offshore oil and gas sector.
Our key personnel come from previous careers at the multinational marine construction company
McDermott working in the marine operations department on projects covering every sphere of the
industry. Our managing and technical director Mr Keith Jackson worked for 17 years in the group
the last 5 years as the marine division manager.
As a matter of policy under Mr Jackson J.Ray McDermott would execute work peripheral to that
being undertaken by the major work vessel (normally executed using third party subcontractors)
using in-house resources. Pipeline pre-commissioning, pre and post trenching, flexible flowline /
umbilical lay are examples of work that was routinely carried out in-house and not subcontracted.
One of the main reasons for doing this was that it prevented the activities of the subcontractor
impinging on the work of the high cost marine spread. The work was always planned with
maximum operational synergy in mind
In JRM large pipeline pre-commissioning projects such as the 650 km West Natuna gas
gathering pipeline network and many other major projects were planned and executed in-house.
OCS has taken the model developed in JRM and applied it to our own activities. Our equipment
is managed and operated by people who come from the same background as the main marine
contractor. We help the marine contractor plan the work such that the pre-commissioning has
the least possible impact on operations. We are proactive in highlighting potential issues and
ensuring both parties win. Our engineering capabilities are very sophisticated and significantly
more advanced than our competitors.
OCS has now completed a range of pre-commissioning projects for many different customers
with great success. OCS has been certified by Nata for pipeline hydrotesting since 2013. The
OCS organisation as a whole has also been qualified to IS0 9001 since 2009.
In 2014 the company purchased premises at 36 Kian Teck Road in the Pioneer district of
Singapore and we have established it as a base for our engineering and subcontract activities.
The office and workshop serve as a base from which to plan and execute projects. The
workshop has a dedicated instrument room where all calibrated instruments are maintained and
the workshop facilities ensure that OCS mechanical equipment can be well serviced and
maintained to high standards. The engineering and construction management group works hand
in hand with the pre-commissioning teams.
Our in-house equipment spread has grown significantly and is described in detail in this
document. OCS is equipped to handle the full range of pre-commissioning activities including
flooding, cleaning, gauging, hydrotesting, dewatering, drying and nitrogen packing. We work with
established and reputable intelligent pig suppliers to complement our service. We have
established long term relationships with key Singapore and overseas vendors.
We employ dedicated career inhouse technicians to operate and maintain our equipment and an
equipment engineer to ensure our equipment is managed and maintained correctly. This enables
OCS to prepare and mobilise efficiently for projects.

OCS is equipped to handle large projects or discrete project elements depending on the specific
needs of the customer.
The company has grown steadily since incorporation and now employs 60 personnel of whom 30
are civil / structural and mechanical engineers working with our pre-commissioning technicians.

OCS is acutely aware of the dangers involved in the marine construction industry in general and in
pipeline pre-commissioning particularly where high pressure water and air and heavy equipment,
chemicals etc combine to create a range of potential hazards if not managed properly.
All OCS activities on specific projects are the subject of hazids and risk assessments to ensure
levels of risk are reduced to as low as reasonably practical (ALARP). These risk assessments
are ideally attended by the main contractor and the ultimate client.
i) All OCS personnel have appropriate Bosiet offshore sea survival training
ii) OCS technicians are Nata qualified and well trained for their specific duties
iii) All OCS equipment is provided with a specific safety passport.
iv) Offshore hazardous areas are barricaded as required and unauthorized personnel are
excluded.
v) All installation aids are properly engineered and subject to structural checks by the OCS
CSE group.
vi) Appropriate Hazchem sheets are posted in areas where chemicals are in use.
PIPELINE PRE-COMMISSIONING
PRE-QUALIFICATION DOCUMENT
OCS prepares project specific engineering and procedures for each job undertaken. What sets
OCS apart from other pre-commissioning contractors is our engineering skills base which means
that all structural, mechanical, hydrodynamic and aerodynamic considerations are addressed in-
house. OCS procedures will address:
Engineering performed is strictly in line with the Client contract specifications and all documents
are submitted for approval by the main Contractor (where applicable) and the ultimate Client /
Operator / Owner as appropriate.
OCS inhouse procurement group has established vendors in Singapore and internationally.
Procurement requirements will vary but the following general categories apply.
8. FABRICATION
Fabrication that will be carried out for specific pre-commissioning projects may include :
PIPELINE PRE-COMMISSIONING
PRE-QUALIFICATION DOCUMENT
The following summarises the major issues that are addressed during planning and execution.
- Onshore to Onshore
- Platform to Platform.
- Platform to Onshore (or reverse)
- Platform to Subsea. (or reverse)
- Subsea to Subsea.
v) Pig launchers and receivers to be designed and fabricated as required compatible with the
pig train to be launched and received. Where pig launching and / or receipt is subsea
measures to be put in place to protect divers. On platforms and onshore personnel safety
to be give the highest priority accounting for proximity to the handling of high volumes of
pressurized water.
vi) Calibrated Instrumentation provided to measure and record pressure and flow during
flooding operations.
vii) Where pipeline installation operations involve subsea tie in connections the pipeline will
need to be flooded to allow diver access to flange connections. In such cases pigging
operations may have to be conducted before and after the connections are made up.
viii) Where the pipelines are constructed from Corrosion Resistant Alloy (CRA) material special
precautions will be required to avoid exposure of the pipeline to raw seawater. This may
involve the use of Gel plugs and other protection measure as discussed and agreed with
the client.
For certain pipelines intelligent pigging may be specified for the pipeline. This can take the form
of:
i) Caliper pigging which measures the internal bore of the pipeline and detects deformities
along the length of the pipelines providing information on the exact linear location and
orientation of the deformity.
ii) MFL pigging which measure the wall thickness of the pipeline with corresponding linear
and orientation data.
PIPELINE PRE-COMMISSIONING
PRE-QUALIFICATION DOCUMENT
This pigging is sometimes specified for new pipelines to establish a baseline from against which
subsequent measurements can be compared. For existing pipelines it is used to assess
damage that may have been sustained and /or the extent of corrosion in the pipe wall.
The intelligent pigs are fitted with batteries which have a finite life and this must be considered
when loading the pigs to ensure the length of the operation from loading to receipt will not exceed
the battery life. This can be a critical consideration when subsea pigging is contemplated.
Intelligent pigs are normally run from platform to platform or platform to shore (or reverse).
Intelligent pigs contain very sensitive instrumentation that is easily damaged so it is important
that all debris is removed from the pipeline. To this end cleaning and gauging pigs are normally
run through the pipeline to ensure the line is clear before the intelligent pig is run.
Constant pig run speed is also critical to the collection of reliable data from intelligent pigging
operations. Surging of the pig should be avoided. To this end constant back pressure needs to
be maintained. For pig propulsion a non compressible medium such as seawater is strongly
preferred as it is far easier to maintain constant back pressure and speed. Propulsion by Air or
Nitrogen should be avoided. Inclusion of the intelligent pig with the pipeline dewatering train
should be avoided if possible as surging of the pigs is hard to control. These issues need to be
discussed in the project planning phase.
OCS does not own intelligent pigs but has agreements with reputable subcontract companies
who provide the specific intelligent pigs and qualified technicians to support the overall pipeline
pre-commissioning operation.
Pipeline hydrotesting is normally carried out after the completion of flooding, cleaning and
gauging activities. Hydrotesting confirms the strength and leak integrity of the pipeline.
The purpose of the pipeline hydrotest is to ensure that the pipeline, as well as all flanged
connections and appurtenances meet or exceed the design specifications. This is done by
introducing a pressure typically 125% of the design operating pressure of the pipeline. The
pressure is introduced by pumping additional water into the pipeline system, and
maintaining the pressure for a minimum of 24 hours, without additional pumping or
unaccountable losses.
When the pigging run has been accepted by the Client, the pig launcher and receiver
assemblies are removed and blind flanges installed. A pumping spread, comprising a high-
pressure pump, chemical injection pump and a flowmeter will be set-up adjacent to the end of
the pipeline. Additional instrumentation for monitoring the test will also be set-up in a sheltered
location nearby. This will normally comprise a dead weight tester, pressure recorders and
gauges, subsea temperature monitors, temperature recorders, etc.
The pressure in the pipeline is raised gradually when all the entrapped air in the pipeline is
purged. Frequent volume and pressure monitoring is done for the first 30% of the pressure
increase to observe for signs of air entrapment. If this is not exceeded, then pumping will
continue, otherwise the pressure will be bled off and further purging done to remove the
entrapped air.
PIPELINE PRE-COMMISSIONING
PRE-QUALIFICATION DOCUMENT
Stabilization hold points are normally observed at 75% of test pressure, and thence at
100%. The test period will begin when the pressure in the pipeline stabilizes over a
reasonable length of time. When the test is deemed to begin, new charts will be placed in all
the recording instruments. Any pressure loss will need to be correlated to temperature
fluctuations. When the Client is satisfied that the test is acceptable, after holding for a
period of 24 hours or more, then the pressure can be bled off gradually.
Care must be taken when preparing the hydrotest to ensure that all the pipeline
components are rated to or above the test pressure. This may be a problem when hydrotest
limits extend to process pipe work on topside decks or refinery equipment onshore.
Some of the key points to consider when running the hydrotesting operation are:
Bulk dewatering involves the running of pigs equipped with sealing discs with compressed
air to remove the majority of the water in the pipeline. Further runs with polyurethane foam
pigs will then continue to swab and remove free water from the pipeline. This process also
further cleans the internal walls of the pipeline. Strict criteria may exist governing the internal
cleanliness of the pipeline that may require the running of many such swabbing pigs.
Dewatering shall not commence until the acceptance criteria for the hydrotest have been met and
approved by the client.
Typically a pipeline will be gauged and dewatered with a pig train consisting of 3 bi-directional
dewatering pigs.The pigs will be launched and propelled at an approximate speed of between
0.5m/s to 1.5m/s by dry air until the pigs are received at the receiver.
Ideally a pig indicator is installed on the receivers, to give confirmation that pigs have arrived. If
they are not, the indication of pigs arrival will be an increase in back pressure as the pigs reach
the receiver, and decrease in back pressure when all the pig has arrived. A second check is the
confirmation of volume of air injected into the pipeline.
PIPELINE PRE-COMMISSIONING
PRE-QUALIFICATION DOCUMENT
In the event that it is unsure if the pig is has arrived in the receiver, an additional 10% of fill
volume shall be injected. Once the pig train is received the pipeline will be depressurised to
ambient, and the pig train will be recovered one by one from the receiver. On acceptance of the
pigs condition, all the logs, chart and gauging plates shall to be signed by the parties.
The final stage of dewatering of the pipeline typically utilises a pig train consisting of 2-3 Long
Run Heavy Duty (LRHD) final dewatering and swabbing pigs. As an example, a final dewatering
pig train configuration may consist of the following:
The concept of air drying of a pipeline is based around the principle that a continuous supply of
heated air from an air compressor, provides heat energy which is absorbed by residual water in
the pipeline, which speeds evaporation. The water vapor is transported by the flowing air out of
the pig receiver at the other end of the pipeline.
A hygrometer setup at the receiver will indicate completion of the drying process when the outlet
air dew point reduces significantly from its starting value. During the pipeline drying process, the
air will be close to saturation at the prevalent ambient temperature. When the pipeline is dry, the
dew point will reduce towards that of the feed air from the compressor.
In the field, typically pipelines shall be air dried using the same air drier spread used during
swabbing operation. The air drying operation commences with 1 line volume after the last foam
swabbing pig is removed from receiver. Air is blown continuously until the client specified dew
point is reached at the receiver end.
Vacuum drying is a method where the pipeline is completely sealed and then a single port is
connected to high power vacuum system, which extracts air from the pipeline. Over a period of
time, the humidity level in the outlet will reduce rapidly as a stable vacuum level is formed. There
will be a period where the dewpoint level stabilizes as residual liquid water is evaporated and
extracted. When all the water has been removed, the dewpoint will drop again and this signals
the end of the vacuum purge process. The hygrometer mounted in the vacuum inlet will give
determination of the end point.
PIPELINE PRE-COMMISSIONING
PRE-QUALIFICATION DOCUMENT
4) Soak Test
5) Stabilisation
As advance preparation for the pipeline drying operation, temporary piping and fittings shall be
fabricated for connecting the pipeline end to the Vacuum Equipment.
Prior to commencing the vacuum drying operations on the pipeline section, it is necessary to
ensure that all temporary pipe work and all the flange joints are vacuum tight (no leaks under
vacuum).
The typical sequence of steps followed during vacuum drying process follows:
• The pipeline section valve will be closed and the system pressure from the vacuum
pumps to the main pipeline valve will be pulled down
• When the pipeline section target pressure has been reached the vacuum pumps will be
shut down, the system will be allowed to stabilise. Upon completion of stabilisation the
pressure will be monitored and logged at 10 minute intervals for a period of 1 hour. If
there is no considerable leak in the temporary piping connections the in leak check is
accepted if not the connections has to be rechecked properly and corrected to be leak
proof.
• Upon completion of the temporary piping system in leak checks, the main pipeline section
valve shall be opened. The vacuum pumps shall be brought on line (slowly) and the
vacuum drying of the pipeline section shall commence.
• The pressure in the pipeline section shall be reduced to the Saturation Vapour Pressure
(SVP), which upon achieving this pressure the water in the pipeline section will start to
boil off.
• When all free water in the pipeline section has boiled off, the pressure will start to fall at
an accelerated rate, during which stage the absorbed water in the pipe wall will be pulled
out.
• The pipeline section pressure will then be pulled down to the Partial Vapour Pressure
corresponding to the client specified dew point ( e.g. 4.015 mbar for ‐5°C Dew point).
• Once the pipeline has been drawn down to the required pressure, the “soak test” shall
commence. The vacuum plant will be isolated from the pipeline by closing all isolation
valves in the system, and the pressure will now be monitored for a duration as specified
by the client. .
• During pipeline isolation, a stabilisation period should be allowed, for both pressure and
dew point to reach a state of equilibrium. The pressure and dew point would be monitored
over a sufficiently long period, dependent on the pipeline’s length and the environmental
conditions, so that if any remaining water evolves, an increase in pressure, and to a
lesser extent dew point would occur.
• The soak test will only be deemed acceptable if over the 12 hour period, the pressure
measured remains on, or less than 4.015 mbar, taking into consideration any in‐leaks
calculated during the pipeline in‐leak test.
Upon acceptance of the dryness of the pipeline section the remote location will be
isolated and the pipeline pressure reduced to PVP pressure (4.015 mbar or ‐5o C Dew
point). Upon completion of vacuum drying the pipeline will be isolated and left under
vacuum ready for nitrogen packing.
PIPELINE PRE-COMMISSIONING
PRE-QUALIFICATION DOCUMENT
As part of the preparation for the Nitrogen Packing process, once the equipment has been
set‐up, it shall be function tested in order to ensure that no damage has occurred during
transportation to site. All temporary hoses, pipe work, fittings and valves shall be tested to the
maximum operating pressure of the units.
The Nitrogen is brought to site as a liquid, contained in a cryogenic tank. During pumping
operations the liquid is pumped through a vaporizer unit where it converts to a gas, and then
through the temporary discharge line into the pipeline. Pumping rates and pressures are variable
to suit the operation required. Nitrogen Gas shall be injected into the pipeline to break the
vacuum and line shall be pressurised to 2 Barg.
Nitrogen with the following typical characteristics will be pumped in to the pipeline:
Vacuum Hoses shall be disconnected and suitably rated blind flanges shall be installed.
Delivery hoses from the vaporiser shall be connected to the 2" connection available on the blind
flange installed at the end of Pipeline.
1) Open valve on the nitrogen tank allowing liquid nitrogen into the nitrogen vaporizer,
maintain the liquid nitrogen tank pressure between 3 to 5 Bar.
2) Commence flow of liquid nitrogen from the storage tank through the nitrogen vaporiser.
As the liquid turns to gas in the vaporizer commence flow to the pipeline.
3) Nitrogen injection will begin slowly and build to an expected pumping rate of approx. 1000
Cu. Mtrs/Hr.
4) Continue to flow nitrogen gas into the pipeline, change liquid tank as and when
necessary.
5) Purging will continue until pressure in the pipeline reaches to 2barg. Upon receiving
confirmation the required pressure has been achieved, the pumping shall be ceased.
6) Pressure will be monitored and recoded by pressure chart recorder. On completion of
nitrogen purging, readings shall be taken for every 2hrs interval of Pipeline pressure and
temperature up to 24hrs.

PIPELINE PRE-COMMISSIONING PROJECTS
Continuously monitor pressure and chart recorder, and duration of pig run, to check for
when bulk dewatering pigs are home. Once the pig gets closer to the receiver end the
2. 12
pressure will increase and the colour of water will change to a dirty black mix, along with a
bit of air. The pig signal will indicate arrival of the pigs.
Upon receipt and inspection of the bulk dewatering pigs at the receiver end, the following
2. 13 logs shall be finalised and signed off by all parties: Dewatering log, Gauge plates report,
Pressure Chart, Acceptance Dewatering Certificate, Daily report.
Upon completion and acceptance of bulk dewatering operation, the final dewatering and
3. 1 swabbing operation shall commence. Ideally this is continued using the same launcher as
for the bulk dewatering, which is the basis of this sequence.
3. 2 Setup air compressor along with dryer (to produce superdry air at -10deg C dew point).
Confirm air hose connected and secured to launcher head. Open the launcher door and
3. 3
load the first foam swabbing pig into the launcher
3. 4 Start the air compressor and engage at a pumping pressure of around 3 barg
3. 5 Pig Launcher Valves to be operated so as to launch swabbing pig #1
Blow and air volume approximately equivalent to 100m of linear pipe volume for a spacer
3. 6
volume.
Once the spacer value has been pumped, close the isolatation valve at dryer and
depressurise the pipeline at the launcher to 0barg. Open pig launcher door and load in
3. 7
foam swabbing pig #2. Close pig launcher door and start air compressor. Open/close pig
launcher valves in suitable sequence to launch swabbing pig #2 into the pipeline.
Blow and air volume approximately equivalent to 100m of linear pipe volume for a spacer
3. 8
volume.
Once the spacer value has been pumped, close the isolatation valve at dryer and
depressurise the pipeline at the launcher to 0barg. Open pig launcher door and load in
3. 9
foam swabbing pig #3. Close pig launcher door and start air compressor. Open/close pig
launcher valves in suitable sequence to launch swabbing pig #3 into the pipeline.
Blow and air volume approximately equivalent to entire linear pipe volume of pipeline to
3. 10
ensure 3rd and final swabbing pig is delivered to the receiver.
Indication of pigs arrival will be an increase in back pressure as the pigs arrive into the
3. 11 temporary receivers. If not clear indication is observed, continue to pump an additional
10% air volume.
If the pipeline still discharges lot of water, then recover the foam pigs and repeat the
3. 12
above operation.
The pigs will then be recovered from the temporary receiver and inspected for any
damage. On acceptance of the pig’s condition, the following logs and records shall be
3. 13
signed by all parties: 1) Final dewatering and swabbing log, 2) Pressure chart, 3)
Acceptance Final Dewatering Certificate, 4) Daily report.
PIPELINE PRE-COMMISSIONING PROJECTS
Monitor pipeline pressure through vacuum spread manifold instruments. Once free water
2. 6 vapor in pipeline has been boiled off and removed, pressure will fall at an increasing rate.
Continue to run the vacuum pumps to the pull down to partial vapour pressure (PVP)
Once PVP is reached throughout the line, isolate the vacuum sealed pipeline, locking the
2. 7
line in. Monitor for a 12 hour soak test, ensuring pressure remains below PVP.
2. 8 Upon acceptance, isolate the pipeline for nitrogen purge/packing.
PIPELINE PRE-COMMISSIONING PROJECTS
Commence flow of liquid nitrogen from the storage tank through the nitrogen
2. 3
vaporiser. As the liquid turns to gas in the vaporizer commence flow to the pipeline.
Nitrogen injection will begin slowly and build to an expected pumping rate of 1000 Cu.
2. 4
Mtrs/Hr.
Continue to flow nitrogen gas into the pipeline, change liquid tank as and when
2. 5
necessary.
During nitrogen packing, the following reading shall be noted at every 30 min: 1)
2. 6 Pipeline pressure bar ( launcher & receiver if possible), 2) Ambient Temperature Deg
C
Purging will continue until pressure in the pipeline reaches to 2barg. An oxygen
2. 7 content reading shall be taken from the test blinds at other end of the pipeline. The
oxygen level of the pipeline at discharge end shall be 2% or below.
Upon receiving confirmation the required pressure has been achieved, the pumping
2. 8 shall be ceased. Notify the client that purging is complete and packing has
commenced.
2. 9 Pressure will be monitored and recoded by pressure chart recorder.
On completion of nitrogen purging, readings shall be taken for every 2hrs interval of
2. 10
Pipeline pressure and temperature up to 24hrs.
On completion of Nitrogen packing all valves will be closed and all components will
2. 11
remain under positive N2 pressure until ready for permanent operation.
2. 12 Obtain client sign off and acceptance of N2 packed pipeline
On completion and acceptance of the nitrogen packing operation, all logs shall be
signed off follows as below and the pipeline will be handed back to the operator for
2. 13
gas up operation. 1) Nitrogen packing log, 2) Acceptance Dew Point Certificate, 3)
Acceptance Nitrogen Packing Certificate, 4) Daily site report
