A General Requirements

Lay-Up Procedure or Method Statement shall be project specific and Proect Quality
A1
identified in the Project Quality Plan. Plan

Procedure has identified the conditions as to when is it required to

perform lay-up.
NOTE: Conditions requiring Lay-Up are:
a. Lay-up shall be required for all equipment after hydrostatic SAES-A-007,
A2
test when start-up exceeds 60 days from the introduction Para. 5.2.1
of test fluid.
b. Lay-up for heat exchangers is required when start-up date
exceeds 14 days of commencing hydrostatic test.

SAES-A-007,
A3 Lay-up procedure for Boilers follows the procedure in SAEP-1026.
Para. 5.2.1

The procedure specified the lay-up requirements for Stainless Steel

SAES-A-007,
A4 piping & equipment if the equipment contact time with water will likely
Para. 6.2
exceed 14 days.

B Methods of Lay-Up and their limitations:

For Wet Lay-Up, the system requires to establish and maintain a

SAES-A-007,
B1 minimum residual oxygen scavenger concetration of 20 mg/L in the
Para. 5.2.2.1
water.

For Dry Lay-Up, the system requires to be totally drained of hydro test SAES-A-007,
B2
water. Para. 5.2.3.1

For inert gas lay-up, the hydrostatic test water is displaced with nitrogen
or sweet gas until no water drains out of the system, or, in the case of
long (>20 km) pipelines, displacement of air is by sweeping with inert gas- SAES-A-007,
B3 driven scrapers. Para. 5.2.4.1 &
(NOTE: Opening vents to atmosphere to drain hydrostatic test water out Para. 5.2.4.2
of a system and attempt to replace the air with an inert gas by either
repeated pressuring or sweeping is not acceptable for inert gas lay-up.)

Ambient lay-up shall be used only if all of the following conditions apply:
a. drains are available at all low points to ensure complete removal
of water, SAES-A-007,
B4
b. corrosion allowance has been provided, Para. 5.2.5.1
c. pitting can be tolerated; and
d. particulate rust can be tolerated.

Use of vapor-phase corrosion inhibitors and other lay-up methods are

acceptable with the prior written approval of the Coordinator, Materials SAES-A-007,
B5
Engineering and Corrosion Control Division, Consulting Services Para. 5.2.6
Department.

The procedure stated the method or step by step procedure for

implementation of the Lay-up method to be used in the project.
NOTES:
B6 1. To verify if the appropriate steps are covered by the specific
lay-up procedure, refer to SAIC-A-2018 - Lay-Up Application.
2. SAIC-A-2018 and SATR-A-2009 may be used by the
Contractor as a supplementary Lay-up Procedure.
