1. Handling of tubulars
1.1 Slinging of Tubulars
Key elements and practices for the safe operation of slinging tubulars or tubular bundles are
described in this section.
1.2 Handling
• Only tubulars of the same diameter or size and about the same length should be bundledtogether
• The number of tubes in each bundle should be such that the middle tubes are gripped and will not slip out of the bundle. Whenever practicable tubulars over 5.5” in diameter should be bundled in ‘odd’ numbers
• Tubulars should always be slung with two slings, each of the same length and of the same SWL
• Slings should be placed positioned at equaldistance (approximately 25% of total length) from the ends of the load. They should be double wrapped and choked around the tubular either when using steel slings or nylon webbing
• The sling should be of sufficient length to ensure that the choke is on the sling body, never on the sling splice, fittings, tag, eye or at the base of the sling eye or fitting
• Excessive long tubular bundles may have a tag line attached. This shall be subject to a JHA
• Care should be taken on removing slings due to stowage movement
• Whilst loading, consideration should be given to the installation discharging sequence
• Ensure thread protectors and endcaps are securely fastened
• Due care and attention should be taken when loading tubulars to avoid damage to slings
• Slings shall not cross under the load to avoid damage to the sling
• Prior to making any lifts, the release of rigging should be considered. Precautions are
required to prevent personnel from being trapped between tubulars during release of rigging
