site for all substances used on the job. CONTRACTOR shall maintain correct
labels on containers and make MSDS available to anyone who may come in
contact with the substances.
CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for proper disposal of painting, thinning and
cleaning supplies, as well as disposal of all consumables, in accordance with the
relevant legislation.
All installation and inspection of field joint coatings will be carried out in strict
accordance with HES Procedures, Safety Policies, and Local Government
Regulations.
Correct safety PPE such as gloves, goggles, hard hat, etc. shall be worn at all
times during pipe handling and coating operations.
All CONTRACTOR personnel engaged in coating operation and inspection shall
comply with the instructions given during the safety induction. In addition, all
personnel will be required to attend daily Tool Box Meeting in order to increase
safety awareness of personnel.
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all materials that are being used during

required, the first aid and emergency procedure, if any, recommended by the
MANUFACTURER shall be followed.
2.1
Support for Corrosion Resistant Alloy (CRA) Piping

Galvanic corrosion occurs in marine atmosphere when stainless steel/duplex and
carbon steel are in contact. Crevice corrosion occurs in interstices where water
and chlorides are trapped (clamps, supports, laying areas).

In order to avoid these corrosion features, requirements of the COMPANY general

specification DEP 30.48.00.31-Gen, ref [1] shall be applied for the corrosion
protection of the CRA piping at carbon steel support location.
3.0 ACCEPTED BRAND

Only specified coating systems from the coating system data sheets detailed in
COMPANY specification DEP 30.48.00.31-Gen, ref [1] shall be used, unless
alternates are reviewed by CONTRACTOR and COMPANY duly notified in writing.
The CONTRACTOR shall only use paints which comply with International
Standards, COMPANY specification and Nigerian laws for air pollution.
The latest issue of the paint MANUFACTURERs product data sheets, application
instructions and Material Safety data sheets shall be available at the painting site
and complied with during painting operations.
3.1
Painting Qualification Test

Prior to mobilization and commencement of all projects painting operation, the
painting qualification test will be carried out which will include surface preparation,
mixing, application and inspection. This will be done in the presence of designated
COMPANY representative on site.
All surface preparation and painting test will be made under simulated site
condition if done in the workshop environment. All inspection such as visual

Mixing of Coatings of Different MANUFACTURERS

Each multicoat system shall use materials from a single MANUFACTURER unless
approved by COMPANY in writing. Offsite equipment MANUFACTURERs may
choose any one of the accepted brands for a coating system. In the prime
CONTRACTOR's fabrication yards and offshore, only one MANUFACTURER shall
be used for each coating system.
4.0 PAINTING LOCATIONS

CONTRACTOR should keep in mind that the Topsides facilities will be located
offshore Nigeria in a rather corrosive environment. The paint application shall be
carried out in a controlled environment to avoid pollution of the prepared surface
and of the paint film during its application and its curing.
Therefore, the conditions of application of the relevant paint systems specified in
COMPANY specification DEP 30.48.00.31-Gen, ref [1] shall be followed in order to
ensure a high durability of the paints systems. Any deviation or change in any
system or application shall be approved in writing by COMPANY.

Inorganic zinc primers may be used as preconstruction primers but weld bevels must be free of
all primer before welding. This can be accomplished by masking prior to coating or by grinding
or sandblasting before welding. The coating-free area shall extend a minimum of 2 inches from
the weld bevel.
Non organic zinc preconstruction primers shall be removed by blasting to bare metal prior to
application of the required paint system.
VENDOR shall not apply successive coating over any non organic zinc preconstruction
primers in order to avoid undermining the protection provided by inorganic zinc primers.
Weld-Through Primers
5.2
Weld-through primers shall not be used unless welding qualification tests show no detrimental
effects, such as unacceptable porosity or mechanical properties. The use of weld-through
primers must be approved by COMPANY in writing prior to their use. If the primers are
accepted, inspection for weld bevel cleanliness shall be performed on all production work prior
to priming.
Paint Free Surfaces
5.3
The following surfaces shall not be painted unless otherwise specified:
Galvanized steel gratings (except if used on flours of escape ways)

Stainless steel
Monel
Copper alloys
Plastic and plastic coating materials (GRP, GRE, FRP, PVC or similar) provided
their
resistance to
UV has been demonstrated and colour coding is not necessary.
Aluminum weather jacketing of insulation.

Abrasives shall be free of dust, dirt and other foreign matter and shall be kept dry.
Prior to the start of blasting, an appropriate blast air pressure with abrasive and mesh size to
attain the specified anchor pattern.
After blasting and immediately before spraying, dust and loose residues shall be removed by
brushing, blowing off with clean dry air or vacuum cleaning
Blasting shall be performed in dry weather. Dry blast cleaning operations shall not be conducted
on surfaces exposed to rain, water spray or any other moisture.
Weld areas shall be ground, chipped or wire brushed as necessary prior to blasting to remove
rust, residual flux and weld spatter.
Steel surface slivers, laminations, laps, scabs or seams exposed by blasting shall be reported to
COMPANY, investigated, and repaired on any portion of the steel to be painted using rules from
the applicable code for repairs prior to coating. Repaired areas shall be re-blasted prior to
coating.
Prior to abrasive blasting, valves, sight glasses, name tags, machinery, electrical fixtures, etc.,
subject to damage from either the blast or from the abrasive material shall be protected. When
possible, nametags shall be installed after painting is complete. If it is not possible to coat under
tags, their edges shall be sealed with silicone to prevent moisture accumulation.
Cadmium-plated, electroplated, metallized or other specially coated items shall not be blasted
unless otherwise directed by COMPANY.
Blasting shall be accomplished so that previously painted surfaces are not contaminated by
abrasive or blast wastes.
Blast cleaned surfaces shall be inspected for proper cleaning prior to painting SSPC-VIS 1, ref
[34] shall be used as a visual standard for confirming the degree of surface cleanliness.
The anchor profile shall be verified in accordance with ASTM D4417 method C, ref [35] using
either course or extra-course replica tape or a spring loaded micrometer.

Galvanized and Aluminium Surfaces
All galvanized and aluminum surfaces specified to be painted shall be pretreated with an acid
wash base.
Galvanized surfaces which require painting shall be brush blasted (SSPC-SP7) with fine grit or
sand with lower nozzle pressure prior to painting.
Galvanized pieces, such as gratings, which will be installed over steel surfaces to be painted
that will interfere with painting, shall not be installed prior to painting the underlying steel. If the
galvanized pieces must be installed before final painting, they shall first be wash-primed and
coated with the same intermediate coating as the underlying steel. In all cases, the underlying
steel shall be abrasive blasted and primed with the intermediate coating prior to installing
galvanized pieces over the steel.

any risk of damages/pollution generated by his and/or subcontracted acts from
time of reception to time of commissioning.
10.2 Storage of Stainless steel Topsides items

particular type of coating. The repair technique for coatings with DFT below that
specified shall depend upon the state of cure of the coating. Coatings that have
exceeded the minimum recoat interval and have not exceeded the maximum
recoat interval may be cleaned, as required, and overcoated with the same
material. Coatings that have exceeded the maximum recoat interval shall be
repaired using approved procedures and MANUFACTURERs/ SUPPLIERs
recommendations.
