Dive Control The Vertech containerised Dive Control unit provides a complete solution to managing every aspect for the ongoing dive operation.

1 Dive Control The Vertech containerised Dive Control unit provides a complete solution to managing every aspect for the ongoing dive operation. The dive control is split into two sections allowing for separate working areas for the dive supervisor and the inspection coordinator/engineer. The dive control room is fitted with a Nitrox dive control panel, full duplex (round-robin) communications unit, diver depth data logging system, digital video recording blackbox unit, video correction equipment and associated system safety equipment that complies (and exceeds) the requirements from IMCA DO23. The inspection control room is fitted with inspection level digital video recording systems, video overlay equipment, a communications station to the inspection diver and room for task specific inspection equipment integration. The unit is extremely portable and can be rapidly mobilised as it has all equipment fitted within a standard 20 DNV offshore container and all service connectors fitted to a penetrator panel in the container wall.

2 DIVE PANEL: The panel allows the diving supervisor to individually control the primary, secondary and therapeutic gas supplies to each diver and to individually monitor the exact depth and dive time of the divers. The panel is equipped as follows: 3 x Surface mount depth gauges, Mirror band with dual scale (0 100msw and 0-330fsw) 0.25% accurate across full scale. The divers umbilical connect to a penetration plate for quick mobilization and demobilization. The Divers Gas supply is 6 JIC and 4 JIC for Pneumo supply. Each Diver has the following supplies: Primary Nitrox supply Back up Nitrox supply Back up 21/79 Nitrox supply Safety valves are fitted to the Pneumo gas supply for protection of the Divers Gauge. Divers Breathing gauge is supplied on the divers manifold downstream of the valve and isolated by a dedicated valve. ANALYSIS: There are 3 oxygen analysers fitted for the dive panel (one per diver). The analyser take off is from the divers supply gas. The feed comes from the downstream feed to the diver. The analyser is fitted with high and low alarms. There is also an ambient control room analyser is set to pick up any low oxygen or high oxygen concentrations. DECK & VESSEL COMMUNICATIONS: Deck communications are from a 4 channel base station with remote outstations located around the dive system (mounted in the machinery space, Main LARS control, Standby LARS control and decompression chamber control). In addition this unit can be setup for separate dedicated links to the Bridge, ROV control room and crane operator. DIVER COMMUNICATIONS: Diver communications is via a digitally controlled analogue communications unit. This unit is setup for superior powered analogue communications from custom microphones fitted to the divers helmet. The unit also has full duplex selectable communications links allowing divers to communicate with each other during dives while still keeping the supervisor in control of all ongoing communications. In addition the unit has a dedicated outstation for connecting in the inspection coordinator to facilitate communication and recording required for inspection tasks. EMERGENCY BREATHING APPARATUS: The control room is fitted with an emergency breathing apparatus set mounted within a dedicated storage unit. The set is a self-contained unit with a pressurised gas cylinder for clean air supply. The set is fitted with a link to the diver communications unit. DIMENSIONS: Length: 6.06m Height: 2.44m Width: 2.44m Tare Weight: 8Te Max Weight: 20Te ACCESS: The container is fitted with 2 personal access doors complete with windows and locking mechanisms. The personnel access doors are located along one of the long sides (direct access into the dive control area) and on the short side (access adjacent to the inspection area).the container double doors provide access to the standby diver and umbilical storage area. GAS PIPEWORK: Gas pipework is made from Tungum tubing and is piped directly to the penetration plate and connected to standard JIC end fittings. All pipework and fittings are cleaned to a high standard required for Nitrox use. VIDEO DISPLAY & RECORDING SYSTEM: The Diver video display and recording system includes a 19 Rack mounted Blackbox DVR Recorder, topside light and camera controllers, video Quad display, Video Isolation transformers, Video and audio distribution amplifiers and display monitors. There is a second DVR located within the inspection control office and provides a means of recording inspection quality level video.

Deck Decompression Chamber The Vertech containerised Deck Decompression Chamber (DDC) unit provides a means of supporting emergency and/or surface decompression for offshore surface supplied diving

3 Deck Decompression Chamber The Vertech containerised Deck Decompression Chamber (DDC) unit provides a means of supporting emergency and/or surface decompression for offshore surface supplied diving operations in a compact and efficient package. This is achieved by combining the decompression chamber hull, its control system, emergency gas storage and support equipment into a single containerised unit. The unit chamber hull and viewports have been designed and built in accordance with ASME VIII, ASME PVHO & Lloyds Register PD5500 (as applicable). The system fit out has be completed to a high standard and far exceeds the requirements of the IMCA D023 - DESIGN for Surface Orientated (Air) Diving Systems. The unit is extremely portable and can be rapidly mobilised as it has all equipment fitted within a standard 20' DNV A60 offshore unit. The unit has been designed to keep all critical systems operational in the event of a fire or gas shutdown scenario.

The panel is fitted with 2 supplies (main & emergency) for blow down to each lock. In addition the panel is fitted for control of supply for the BIBs system to each lock and pipework for gas analysis. MONITORING: The control panel is fitted with 2x display monitors for viewing the chamber internal. The main lock is fitted with an internal camera and the entry lock is fitted with a camera mounted over the viewport. EMERGENCY BREATHING APPARATUS: The control room is fitted with an emergency breathing apparatus set mounted within a dedicated storage unit. The set is a self-contained unit with a pressurised gas cylinder for clean air supply. The set is fitted with a link to the diver communications unit. 16-CYLINDER GAS BANK: A 16-cylinder (50 litre) 200 Bar gas bank is fitted for emergency pressurisation of the DDC. The gas bank is split into two independent 8-cylinder supplies ensuring that there is a main and back up emergency source for the DDC.

The analyser is selectable between the main lock, entry lock and BIBs supply There is also an ambient control room analyser is set to pick up any low oxygen or high oxygen concentrations within the control room. CONTAINER STRUCTURE: The container is a DNV2.7-1 certified structure and lifting equipment. The container is insulated on all sides and is fitted with an internal bulkhead separation just inside the container double doors. ACCESS: The container is fitted with an external access door to the chamber control area. The door is located on the opposite end to the container double door and is f i tted wi th a window. In addition there is a man access door in the container door bulkhead for access down the side of the chamber. The chamber access doorway is fitted in the bulkhead and all chamber doors are 700mm diameter, nonlocking doors with securing points for the open position. CONTAINER DETAILS: Length: 6.06m Height: 2.44m Width: 2.44m Tare Weight: 11Te Max Gross Weight: 20Te AIR CONDITIONING/ HEATING: The air-conditioner is of the split-unit type with the evaporator situated internally and the condensing coil situated externally of the insulated environment. The air conditioner unit is suitable for heating and cooling and has a variable speed control. Permanently mounted in an enclosure that will protect the external compressor and condensing coil. Refrigerant piping will link the compressor to the internal evaporator. POWER: The main power supply to the container is through a sealed penetration system and fed directly into the main ExD distribution and control enclosure (440VAC or 380VAC). Incoming Power Transformers reduce 440V/380V to 220VAC/110VAC for control room use which is then fur ther reduced and converted to 12/24VDC for chamber internal use. All consumers are fed from double-pole isolating circuit breakers. All multi-purpose appliance outlets (plugs) are protected by 30mA residual current circuit breakers.
