 Overview
Kreuz Subsea was the subcontractor for the diving activities for
Zawtika Project Phase 1A. The scope includes installation of 18
diameter rigid spool and 2 joints of dry hyperbaric welding for
28 diameter spool.

The 18 and 28 spools were prefabricated onshore in

Myanmar and transported to site using a materials barge. The
18 closing spools were fabricated and hydrotested after the
metrology had been done.

The hyperbaric welding for 28 Spool was performed at 138m

water depth inside the special enclosure structure called
Welding Habitat. Two (2) Pipe Handling Frames were also
utilized to align the 28 Spool to the Riser and Pipeline.

Detailed scope of work

1. Stinger Checks and other air diving support for 28 Pipeline
Installation
2. Two (2) joints of Hyperbaric Welding on the 28" Diameter
Spool connecting between Riser at ZPQ Platform and
Pipeline at 138m water depth
3. Installation of four (4) nos. of 18 Diameter Spools
connecting between Riser at ZPQ Platform and Pipeline at
138m water depth
4. Install six (6) nos. of Flange Protector on the 18 Diameter
spools
5. Removal of three (3) Riser Supports
6. Installation of seven (7) nos. of 28 Spool Bend Protection
7. Abandon Pipeline Recovery and Concrete Mattress
Installation

In order to ensure the safety, quality, and efficiency of the work,

all Diver-Welders hired by Kreuz Subsea had to be qualified at
the National Hyperbaric Center in Aberdeen, Scotland prior to
Installation Vessel: mobilization.
