Procedure
1 Manufacture the casings according the production drawings.
Alter the drawings and the design as required to fit the vessel and the chosen
installation principle.
2 Install the casings under the hull in either the blister, the gondola or into the hull.
Designing, manufacturing and mounting the
steel conduits
Steel conduits are used to protect the SBP 29 cables. They should be filled with water
up to the waterline.
Prerequisites
You must be equipped with a standard set of tools. This tool set must comprise the
normal tools for mechanical tasks. This includes different screwdriver types, pliers,
adjustable spanners, etc. Each tool must be provided in various sizes. We recommend
that all tools are demagnetized to protect your equipment. The following specific tools
and items are required for this task:
• All relevant vessel and SBP 29 drawings must be available.
• All relevant work instructions, procedures and standards must be available.
• All relevant drawings have been approved by the classification society.
• The physical location of the SBP 29 has been determined.
• The installation method has been determined.
• The installation angles of the SBP 29 have been defined.
• All relevant personnel (naval architects, designers, skilled shipyard workers) and
tools must be available.
Observe the relevant rules and regulations related to welding. The quality of the welding
is critical to the safety of the vessel. Welding must only be done by a certified welder.
The final installation welds must be approved by the vessel’s national registry, the
corresponding maritime authority and/or classification society.
Context
The transducer cables connect through the vessel’s hull using steel conduits. The
conduits are welded to the hull. The top of each conduit must be closed and sealed to
preserve the watertightness. This can be done with a "Bratberger", "Roxtec" or a similar
sort of sealing device.
The installation of the conduits must be properly planned. All plans and drawings must
be approved by the classification authority. This is always the yard’s responsibility.
