3.2 Line
Pegging
Geodetic
surveys will be conducted in RTK/OTF mode using the following
parameters:
● basic line

most
10
km
● number of
epochs, at
least

3.3 Quality
Control
The
following procedures will be implemented to for the purpose of quality
control:
GPS
operator will continue profile pegging commenced the previous day by repeating
recording of 2-3 points recorded the previous day.
The
abovementioned repeated points will be compared with initial coordinates
obtained a day before this. Data tables will be recorded on a daily basis for
quality control for the purpose of their submission to Company for review, or
otherwise provided on a regular basis along with line pegging results. Upon
completion of works (project completion) a scheme of repeated points shall be
generated in order to ensure that repetition density was almost the same along
the whole area of works.
Quality
control memos will be prepared for each survey point (e.g. QC1 and QC3) that
have to be submitted to Company for review.
All
equipment (including receivers and data processing software packages) shall be
provided to Company prior to commencement of field works.
Specific
relief points (e.g. xxxxx, power transmission lines, roads, structures
hydrography, pipelines, etc.) will be marked at line pegging. These data shall
be indicated in a traverse sketch.
All line
point offsets from theoretical position shall be agreed with companyman
(supervisor).
Surveyors,
as requested by the Company, shall provide the necessary graphic (schemes,
traverse sketches) and other (e.g. quality control tables) information required
for execution of works and stipulated in the Terms of Reference.
In
addition, the companyman may obtain all the necessary information about the
progress of works, any documentation of survey progress, and
processing.

Pilot Survey Program
It is
planning to conduct a pilot survey for the purpose of selection of optimal
parameters of vibration source. The key criterion of source condition optimality
is preservation of a maximum frequency spectrum and maintenance of the set
record time of 6 s.
Pilot
survey line layout will be agreed with companyman in the field.
The
following tests shall be performed:
For VIBRO
|
●Selection
of excitation frequency

A
detailed pilot survey program will be prepared and approved by companyman in the
field. Pilot surveys the Company will request after completion of the works will
be paid up in accordance with Item d) «Rate of Pilot Survey for
Selection of Survey Parameters», Clause 2 «Payment of Field Works», Appendix 4
«Remuneration».
4.
Survey program
The
survey shall be performed for selection of optimal parameters of vibration
source. The main criterion of optimality of vibration conditions will be
maintaining of maximal frequency spectrum with providing of fixed record size of
6 sec.
The
location of survey profile shall be agreed with the representative of
the Company at the site.
The
following surveys are going to be performed:
For VIBRO
|

|
The more
detailed survey program will be completed and agreed with the representative of
the Company at the site. The survey that will be required by the Company after
the beginning of works shall be paid according to subclause d) “rate for survey
on selection of its parameters and Article 2 “Payment for fieldworks, Attachment
4 Compensation.

If any
channels break out in the process of registering, the work may be continued if
in an active arrangement the number of defect channels do not exceed 1 for 80
active channels. However, such defect channels should be disposed at the
earliest opportunity.
The
representative of the Company should appreciate the signal-noise relation at the
site and may decrease requirements.
6.2.3
Defective routs.
A

value;
|
3.
|
appropriate
apparatus channel is not complied with
specification;
|
4.
|
noise
level is 6 dB higher than noted on the adjacent
traces;
|
5.

In the
case of sudden changes of seismic conditions both depth (zone of fracture,
dipping boundaries, screens as salt domes, etc) and surface (mobility of
weathering zone), which lead to change of seismic field intensively, such cases
are not considered to be defective, if registered as per complying with project
technical requirements, and exciting parameters and registration complied with
Agreement and work order of the representative of the Company.
Such
physical observations worked out in accordance with project requirements may be
picked off at the cost of the Company (at the discretion of the representative
of the Company), if obtained results do not satisfy stated geological tasks.
Decision on pick-off shall be taken with such degree of cooperativeness to
exclude resetting of detector lines required for registration; otherwise the
Contractor may refuse from pick-off.
Should
the representative of the Company take decision of pick-off one or several SP
and quality appears to be the same as defective and deemed to be resulted from
seismic conditions, the Company shall pay for both defective and picked-off SP.
The representative of the Company may not require taking in processing SPs,
which were rejected on whatsoever reasons and shall not be paid by the
Company.

the type of seismic receivers that used in the survey, the representative of the
Company shall provide maximal acceptable difference of level between two seismic
receivers in the group. In any case, to avoid a suppression of high-frequency
component of reflected waves, the difference in level between geophones should

The operators shall notify the representative of the Company about exceeding of
the noise level.
Presence
