1. TUK (SG) presented the summary of the Survey Report presentation as attached. TUK (SG) reflected that the objective of survey was to assess and document the layout and dimensions of the ships, to assess the material condition of the principle areas/system to be reworked and/or replaced. The Survey Team comprised representatives from TUK, Thales Germany, Sperry Marine, Rolls Royce MTU and Marsun.

2. TUK (SG) demonstrated the nature of information gathered from the Survey including dimension, photographs, ships data including drawings, and a demonstration of captured 360° Video footage.

3. As a result of the Survey TUK (SG) reflected that TUK had already started to use the information and dimensions obtained to develop initial design concepts. A scale concept of the CIC was presented. RTN raised a concern that the CIC seating positions faced “AFT” not “FWD”. TUK (SG) reflected that the layout of the CIC would have to face AFT as there was not sufficient space on the FWD wall of the CIC to locate the consoles due to the presence of the door.
RTN later agreed that the CIC Consoles could be installed facing AFT.

4. In summarising the findings of the Survey, TUK (SG) reflected on a number of recommendations for consideration by the RTN associated with the:
- Decompression (Hyperbaric) Chamber
- Communication System
- MCS/RCS
TUK
5. Decompression (Hyperbaric) Chamber.
TUK (SG) reflected that communications with the manufacturer of the Chamber following the survey highlighted that the Chamber was not “self-contained” as was the understanding during the survey. The communications reflect that the chamber would need:
- Chiller Unit (Advance Cool Technology Co.Ltd, Model AX 1.2A (Air Cool).
- Air Compressor (Bauer Kompressoren Mariner 320E)
- 16 off Air & Oxygen Bottles mounted in Bottle Rack (2 off).
- Electrical Supplies (220VDC & 24VDC tbc).
- Water Supply (for Chiller).
TUK (SG) reflected this was not within current scope of activities for the Bang Rachan Project. ACTION: TUK to write to RTN to formally request the technical details of the Decompression Chamber.

6. Decompression (Hyperbaric) Chamber.
The RTN stated that the (GFE supplied) Decompression Chamber will be installed (temporarily) for the pre-upgrade signature ranging, however TUS (DE) stated that this would not be the ‘as built’ baseline to be measured. Discussions concluded with the requirement to conduct two rangings pre-upgrade with and without the Decompression Camber installed and potentially again pre-sailing.
It was subsequently agreed that the “Baseline” for the Signature performance would be the Pre and post ranging runs which

RECORD OF MEETING
did not include the Chamber. The pre and post ranging runs with the Chambers on board would be for RTN information purposes.
ACTION: RTN to review and confirm acceptance of proposed location for Chamber foundations by August 2016. Any changes in location by the RTN will be advised by the end of August 2016. No response will be considered as confirmation of acceptance.
7. Communication System.
The Site Survey identified a number of points that are outside the current scope of work these are:
- 13 legacy Voice Terminals are to be replaced as part of the contracted scope of work. As a result of CONOPs discussions/understanding with the RTN on board the recommendation is to install an additional 10 Receptacle Units.
- Recommendation to include the replacement of the legacy 28VDC Power Supply for the retained IFF System in the scope of the Communication Rack upgrade.
- Recommended to include 2 new power amplifiers t support the legacy retained Horn Loudspeakers.
- Clarification required on the integration of the GFE Crypto, contracted scope of work includes integration however during the survey it was indicated it was to remain stand alone.
RTN reflected they would be providing as GFE a Public Address system, details of this would be provided on request by TUK.
Following discussion TUK agreed to produce and submit a system proposal reflecting the additional items and recommendation of the Survey. Following agreement of the system proposal, TUK and the RTN will consider and agree how any changes to scope may be agreed.
ACTION: TUK to request details of PA system from RTN. ACTION: TUK to produce and provide a revised system proposal for the communications system reflecting RTN additional requirements, RTN proposed PA System and recommendations of the Survey Report.

8. MCS/RCS
The Site Survey Report identified equipment essential to the correct operation of the new MCS/RCS systems. The correct operation of this equipment could not be confirmed and through visual inspection highlighted that their condition was questionable. This equipment is not in scope for this program but the performance of the proposed MCS/RCS system could be adversely affected if they are found to be non-functional at the time of installation/upgrade. RTN reflected as
