The Contractor must furnish and install all protective measures in accordance with SFLC Std Spec 0000, paragraph 3.3.3 (Vessel component, space, and equipment protection). 3.1.3.1 Protection of fine surfaces. The Contractor must protect all fine surfaces in accordance with SFLC Std. Spec 5000. 3.1.3.2 Hydraulic system contamination protection. The Contractor must maintain existing hydraulic cleanliness in accordance with SFLC Std. Spec 5000. 3.1.3.3 Maintain the strictest standards of cleanliness in accordance with MIL-STD-419 while hydraulic system is open. Work on the steering hydraulics is not permitted while any blasting, grinding, welding, etc. is being performed in, or adjacent to, the steering gear space. 3.1.3.4 Hatch opening must be covered and roped off to prevent a falling hazard to personnel when not in use. NOTE Plastic bags may be used only when arrangement or configuration prevents the use of the other sealing methods specified above. 3.1.4 Interferences. The Contractor must handle all interferences in accordance with SFLC Std Spec 0000, paragraph 3.3.5 (Interferences). Known interferences include, but are not limited to the following: Access plate (BERP) located above the port and starboard steering actuator. Piping Electrical wires Padeye plate covers Rudder support covers Hydraulic Oil (approx. 560 gals.) Overhead Ventilation Ducts Insulation Pipe hangers/brackets NOTE Coast Guard personnel will operate all shipboard machinery and equipment. 3.2 Operational test, initial. Prior to commencement of work, the Contractor must, under the direction of the OEM Tech Rep, witness Coast Guard personnel perform an initial operational test of all items or shipboard devices to be disturbed, used, repaired, or altered, to demonstrate existing operational condition. Perform the following inspections. Use Data sheet No. 1 (section 4 of this WI) to record results for Starboard actuator only. Submit a CFR. 3.2.1 Verify that all rudder angle indicators (manual indicator on actuator, MCMS indicator, local indicator, and remote indicators on bridge) must be within a 2-degree tolerance throughout range of motion. WARNING Special care should be taken not to hold the rudder hard over for more than a few seconds at a time to avoid overheating the system. 3.2.2 Starboard Steering Gear: In the presence of the Coast Guard inspector, place the 1A HPU online, with the controller set to - REMOTE, cycle the rudder from Zero to Port (hard-over), from Port to Starboard (hard-over), from Starboard to Port (hard-over) and from Port to Zero. On the Port to Starboard and Starboard to Port transitions, record the time from 30 degrees on one side to 30 degrees on the other side (speed should be 3 degrees/second or 20 (+/-1) seconds total). With the rudder at Zero degrees and the HPU running, inspect all hoses, fittings and seals for leakage. 3.2.3 Set the steering controller to - LOCAL. Using the pushbuttons operators on the pump, cycle the rudder from Zero to 15 degrees Port, from 15 degrees Port to 15 degrees Starboard and from 15 degrees Starboard to Zero. It is not necessary to record times on this evolution - this portion of the test only demonstrates that local control can be achieved. Record the result as SAT or UNSAT. 3.2.4 Switch to 1B HPU and perform the same tests to complete the Starboard Steering Gear System test. Note The Cutter is currently outfitted with recessed padeyes as located on CG Drawings 750-WMSL_100_44 and 750-WMSL-243-003 and are in place in the hull above each propeller and rudder. Padeye numbers are 22, 23, 24, and 25 as identified on Coast Guard Drawing 750-WMSL-243-003. Access covers for the recessed padeyes are not required to be reinstalled. Each rudder weighs approximately 12,000 lbs. 3.3 Rudder support. The Contractor must ensure the rudder has been supported in place to allow repairs of the steering actuator assembly. Coast Guard Divers will remove metal plate covers to access the recessed padeyes above each rudder. The Contractor must pull test all existing recessed padeyes to 150% of their maximum expected working load for 10 minutes. In no case may a padeye's - expected working load (a) exceed the tabulated maximum working load for the padeye's size or (b) exceed the structure's (that padeye is attached to) ability to carry the load. At conclusion of the pull test, visually inspect each padeye for damage. NOTE The centerline of the rudder post is located forward of Frame 96, above the stern gate utility room and forward of an inaccessible void. If additional padeyes are necessary, it may be necessary to clean and gas free these spaces. 3.4 Hydraulic reservoir inspection. The Contractor must take oil samples for testing of existing oil from each reservoir and send out for analysis. Label and retain one extra oil sample from each system for back-up testing if necessary. Drain all 2135 TH hydraulic oil from the HPU actuators and reservoirs (approximately 550 gallons total), and dispose of in accordance with all state, local and federal regulations. Provide CFR with test results. For steering gear hydraulic system details, see Coast Guard Drawings 750-WMSL-556-004 and 750-WMSL-556-022. 3.4.1 Remove access covers from reservoirs and storage tanks. Take samples of any heavy sludge or particulate matter in the tanks. Remove all sludge and debris and wipe down with lint free rags. If any metallic debris (metal filings, shavings, babbitt) is present, notify the Coast Guard Inspector immediately. 3.4.2 When all tanks are thoroughly clean, and just prior to closure ensure all foreign objects have been removed (e.g. rags, caps, towels, plugs). Contractor must present these areas to the Coast Guard Inspector, then close in the presence of the Coast guard inspector. Install new gaskets. 3.5 Steering actuator disassembly and inspection. The Contractor must, under the direction of or performed by the OEM Tech Rep support, overhaul the Starboard steering actuators in accordance with OEM procedures. Rudder foundation, rudder stock, and rudder support system are shown on CG Dwgs 750-WMSL-561-001 and 750-WMSL-562-003. At a minimum, the Contractor must renew the following parts: Piston Seals HP Seals and Backing Strips LP Seals Bearing Shells O-rings 3.5.1 Collect and dispose of all drained fluids in accordance with all federal, state, and local regulations. 3.5.2 Prior to disassembly, wipe down the exterior of the actuator assembly and the general area near the actuator to remove dirt and contaminants. Maintain a clean environment when working around open hydraulic equipment. 3.5.3 Actuator internal inspection. Inspect the interior of the actuators (including, but not limited to, the piston, piston dividers, upper and lower housings, hydraulic coupling, rotor, and rudder stock) for any indications of wear or damage. Submit a CFR documenting the existing condition of the actuators. 3.5.4 During final installation of the actuator, ensure the rudder and rudder stool are aligned, and the actuator and helm are set at 0 degrees. WARNING Foreign materials present a high risk of severe damage to steering gear system. Extra precautions are required to ensure cleanliness of the hydraulic system. Note Suction strainers are located inside the service tanks. 3.6 Filters and strainers, renew. The Contractor must renew the return, charge, and servo filters on each of the Starboard HPU's. Close up filter housings and torque fasteners in accordance with Chapter 5.3 of CG Tech Pub 7182A. Renew the suction strainers and reservoir filter breather on each HPU. 3.7 Manifold and valve inspection and testing. The Contractor must clean, inspect and test the hydraulic manifold and valves (i.e. control, relief, and locking valves) for the starboard system. Clean and visually inspect all parts for defects, deterioration, dirt, scale, rust, grease, and foreign material. Submit a CFR. NOTE Hydraulic hoses life is 12 years 3.8 Hose inspection. The Contractor must visually inspect the condition of all flexible hoses identified in Tables 1 and 2 and submit a CFR with the following information.
