Equipment Condition:
TWPS packed out and container (flat rack) closed
GENERAL
This work package provides instructions for setting up the container (flat rack), and off-loading equipment
and components for operation at a deployed site. Before performing setup and off-loading procedures,
the site and its terrain must be evaluated and the component locations and layout established as
described in WP 0004.
Depending on the operating configuration and the existing or expected environmental conditions at the
deployment site, many packed-out components may not be used. For example, none of the components
of the Cold Weather Kit will be needed unless freezing conditions are expected. However, most of the
unused components must still be off-loaded so they are not in the way during operation. Only the
following items should be left on the skid:
Ocean Intake Structure System (OISS) wellpoint assemblies, riser assemblies, and hoses (stored
on top of the skid frame)
Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (NBC) tank
OISS tee assembly, ice intake strainer, adaptor A11, ice auger and handle, and operator station
entry overhead support beam (stored under the high pressure pumps)
RO element pusher (strapped to the vertical pipe to the left of the MF filters)
Bisulfite and citric acid chemical buckets (stored in the equipment area)
Operator's tool kit
Before starting off-load, select an area at the deployment site for storing the unused components so they
are readily available, if needed, and are all together to reduce the chance of items being lost. The area
should be nearby but out of the way so it doesn't interfere with operation or personnel and vehicle traffic.
If possible, the unused items should be stored in a tent or covered with a tarp so they are protected.
