Offshore Engineering

1. Flute System for SAIPEM 7000

Customer: De Pretto Industrie (Italy)

The JLT system of the SAIPEM 7000 has been equipped with a new Flute system for South

Stream Project. This device is being used during the lay operations: its main task is to avoid

any pipe over bend and kink effect at the JLT exit that could damage permanently the

pipeline. The system must be able to permit to operate the pipe during accidental

conditions (e.g. flooded pipe, abandon and recovery). The South Stream Flute system is

composed by six rollers levels numbered from R1 to FL4 respectively from the top to the

bottom level and by a steel rollers system at bottom level. Each roller level shall be able to

sustain the pipe load without damaging the pipe coating due to an excess of contact

stress. Our company has been in charge of designing the roller system.

2. Suction Unit

Customer: SAIPEM (Italy)

The Project: EPC2/EPC3 project intends to trench and backfill several sea lines in the Caspian Sea.

The Caspian Sea is in particular very shallow: water mean sea level (MSL) reaches the max depth of

about 4 m at more than 80 km from the shore. Additionally, this area is affected by storm surges

and can be reached by narrow barges. The method used consists first in the laying of pipelines

then post trenching and simultaneously back filling. The cut and dredged soil is collected by the

post trenching equipment and conveyed behind along the support barge to the back filling unit.

This latter unit will position the reclaimed soil back on the sea bottom to restore original seabed

level. Both post trenching and back filling equipment are hosted in the same barge namely post

trenching & back filling barge. Between the trenching vehicles and the back filling unit, operates

Suction Unit.

The Machine: Suction Unit is a subsea machine which aim is to remove the material of the seabed

dug up by the Trenching Sled (TRS). The vehicle slides along the pipeline towed by the barge. It

activates small trenching units and suction pumps in emergency conditions namely whenever the

trench depth does not comply with the prescribed value either due to accidental landslide or

following trench bed flatness out of range.

3. IHPU

Customer: Power Hydraulik (Italy)

The Machine: The IHPU is a subsea hydraulic power skid which operates rigidly connected

underneath a ROV. The main function of the IHPU is to provide hydraulic power in order to

control subsea tooling.

The IHPU has been designed as a part of the Main Repair Contractor Services system to

ensure a prompt intervention to repair the North Stream Pipelines in case of damage. The

two 48” North Stream pipelines are defined as the offshore system which exports the gas

from Portovaya Bay, near Vyborg, North of St. Petersburg (Russia), crossing the Gulf of

Finland and the Baltic Sea, up to a landfall area in Greifswald (Germany).

Fazzini Meccanica designed IHPU for Subsea Well Response Project, a non-profit joint

initiative of nine major oil and gas companies, aiming to develop solutions to respond

quickly and efficiently to future subsea well-control accidents. A part of SWRP is the OIS.

The Offset Installation System (OIS) is a tool designed to install a capping stack on a

blowout well without requiring direct vertical access. The OIS utilizes a large subsea

buoyant carrier structure to install the pre-designed capping stack over the blowout well.

During offshore operations the carrier functions are powered and controlled by means of

2 off ROVs. Each ROV has installed underneath an IHPU that is used as an electro-

hydraulic interface between ROV and Carrier.

4. Manipulator SAIPEM 7000 467

Customer: SAIPEM (Italy)

The FJC Handling System is composed by three manipulation arms mechanically mating

the clamps installed at the base of the J-Lay tower of the S7000 vessel. Its task is to provide

the positioning of three clamps onto the pipe joint to provide all the operatione necessary

to complete the joint manufacturing.

Each coating process consists of three working phases, performed respectively by each

clamp in the FJC plant:

• Blasting: to sandblast the bare pipe in a way to prepare metal surface for the

following coating material deposit

• Heat & Coat: to provide the heating and to properly apply the FBE anticorrosion

coating layer

• Injection molding: to apply the polypropylene layer and restore the pipe coating

on the joint

Each arm is mounted on a vertical rail able to support and move the arm and the clamp

along the vertical direction (parallel to the pipe axis). The manipulator system alternatively

moves the clamps from the resting position to the pipe to perform their tasks. The weights

of the three clamps vary from 2 to 3 tons each and the positioning precision required is +/-

5mm.

The Automatic shredding Plant was delivered in Pratola Serra Fiat Auto plant. A belt

conveyor, a 37 Kw shredder with pressing unit to avoid material stops in the feeling hopper

a storage silo and an automatic unloading device, makes it up. The machines are fully

automatic and computer controlled. The 37 Kw shredder has two counter rotating shafts

with an automatic motor load control to protect mechanical and electric parts. For safety

the loading place is continuously controlled to avoid that materials different from paper

and cartons are fed. The working area is protected with lexan foils and inspection doors

are protected with interlocking devices At storage silo full the shredder stops and the

system is ready for unloading. Sensors are fitted to avoid that the silo is emptied with no

container at the outlet. At machine stopped the inlet door is automatically closed.

3. Shredder-Mixer for organic waste fraction

Client: Gorssimex (Lebanon)

The MSC 12-18 is a high speed shredder designed to tear organic wastes bags, reduce size

and mix the waste. It is composed by a large feed hopper a shredding unit and an outlet

conveyor. The hopper provides to receive the waste and to feed the shredder. It is made

up by a chain conveyor covered with rubber belt with variable speed. The shredding unit

is composed by an high speed rotor with oscillating knives installed into an heavy built

shredding chamber and moved by an electric motor with belt transmission. At the outlet a

sieve provide to re-circulate the oversize material. The sieve can be easily removed or

changed. The shredding effect can be enhanced through a “” that can be easily

adjusted at the desired position. The motor is protected by sensors that temporarily stop

the feed in case of overload.

The shredding chamber is shaped to ease re-circulating effect without eject material from

inlet opening. Oscillating knives are built in high resistance steel hardox 400.

Great attention has been dedicated to feed conveyor construction. Oversized chains

connected with heavy C profiles provide to assure great load capabilities and long

working life. The rubber belt that covers the conveying surface is oil and cut proof. The

side boards are provided with rubber tapes at the bottom to avoid material drop. These

tapes are easily adjustable and replaceable. The machine is easy and quick to install and

does not require special foundation works.

Battery Manufacturing Equipment

1. Double Side Pasting Machine

Client: Sovema (Italy)

This pasting machine is a real innovation in the sector because it pastes the grids on both

sides in one operation, and for that reason it has been patented by the constructor. The

project realization has been a great challenge because Fazzini Meccanica has been in

charge of the design of the machine and the prototype development working directly

with proper technicians in the customer production facility.

Technical characteristics: The machine pastes on both sides lead alloy grids up to 4 mm

thick. Two belts are fitted on the machine. The first polyester belt introduces the grids

under the hopper, the second, with very hard structure, is fitted in the finishing section to

assure a perfect calibration of the product. A couple of motorized rollers are fitted in the

central zone to ensure the paste delivery in the lower part of the plates.

A 7.5 Kw motor with inverter is fitted to move both the belts and the feeder. The new

conception hopper is divided in two parts, in the first the paste delivery is done, in the

second the excess paste is taken away and there is the thickness calibration of the plate.

The hopper hoisting is assured by a pneumatic cylinder. The finishing rubber rollers are

fitted with water nozzles that are fed with a solenoid valve. Once the machine is stopped

the water delivery is also closed. A sensor stops the machine if there are not grids in the

feeder or if there is a double grid in the feeder. The belt change is very easy and quick

and there is centralized greasing unit.
