this is my first time having this project and what are things to consider for this conversion?
 
Do a very, very, very good structural survey and plan analysis before starting. It may be cheaper to build new.
 
What is the split hopper barge like? Does it have bottom doors for unloading? Could you give us more details about the current barge and what the converted barge should be like? There are several variations of split hopper barges, so the final configuration you want completely changes the necessary structure and significantly alters the loading conditions, stability, and buoyancy, which must be studied and ensured.

I'll get back to you with this after I know the much details of the project
 
The project seems very interesting and I think I could, and would like to, help.
Would appreciate the help. Is there any way that I could contact you personally?
