Tutorial: Progress Calculation/Tracking System for Oil and Fuel
Storage Tank Fabrication
If Progress Calculation/Tracking System for Oil
and Fuel Storage Tank Fabrication Works is not
in placed for a specific project or you are drafting
‘a progress tracking system, this tutorial could
help you to complete your work. Scope of work is
the same as described in the earlier post “Oll and
Fuel Storage Tank Construction Project Sample
WBS". We will focus specifically on the
fabrication of an extemal floating type tank with
single deck and internal pontoon. The three main
‘components of progress calculation system are
(1) WBS (work breakdown structure) elements
(2) Work Step
(3) Work Step Weight Factor
Tank WBS element is broken down into fabrication
components which are the deliverable of fabrication
work.
See sample WBS as below.

Plate Fabrication
Fabrication works steps for Bottom & Roof Plate may include as minimum before sent for erection on site
1) Blasting/Primer coating of plates
2) Marking and cutting operation
3) Weld edge finishing/grinding to remove burrs and slag
4) Inspection as per API 650 or specific client requirements.
AAs for progress calculation, "Material Received at Shop" and “Delivery at Site" is added so as to claim the
progress as part of shop fabrication. 5% progress is eamed when material is received at shop as well as once
fabricated materials arrived at site. Sample Work Step and Weight Factor for each fabrication step is defined as
below to illustrate progress calculation. It should be discussed and agreed with Owner/Client before official
progress report is issued.

Fabrication work steps and weight factor for Shell Pates are slighly diferent from Bottom and Roof plate
fabrication as it involves rolling and circular shaping of shell plates, reinforcement pads welding for nozzles and
man ways installation.

3 Points to Understand How WBS and Work Step
Weight Factor Works to Evaluate Overall Physical
Progress
1. Prepare Progress Status by Quantity Sheet
1.1 Populate each component per GA drawing which is inline with WBS, for instance, each fabrication member
of annular plate, sketch plate and rectangular plates are listed to track the overall progress of Tank Bottom
fabrication.Drawing Description Roar

1.2 Record the actual status of fabrication progress. E.g Blasting/Primer Coating Completion Date, Final Shop
Inspection Completion Date, etc. This is to monitor and claim the progress of each fabrication step.

1.3 Fabrication status is calculated based on the quantity of each member, for instance, 450 kg of progress is,
‘earned out of 5320 kg once a bottom plate member delivered at site.Developed by Toolhox4Pianning

2. Prepare Progress Summary by Quantity
Prepare progress summary sheet that includes the total quantity of all members, overall progress of each work
step. e.g 100% progress for a work step “Marking/Cutting/Weld Edge Finishing” is earned when all the members
‘completed on that particular step. 100% progress for delivery at site for Tank Bottom fabrication is earned when
all the tank bottom plates are delivered on site. Remember that progress status is measured in terms of quantity
at this stage.

3. Prepare Physical Progress Status Sheet
Work steps weight factors and man hour weighting are used when physical progress is measured, for instance,
250 man hours is estimated to be spent in order to complete Tank Bottom plate fabrication prior to field
construction on site. Therefore, man hour weighting (W) "0.179" is calculated against overall tank fabrication
works as shown in below figure.
Complete the spreadsheet with Work Steps and Weight Factor for Tank Bottom & Roof Plate Fabrication as
slated above.
‘To find out Individual progress (e.g Tank Bottom Plate),
‘Tank Bottom Plate Fabrication
IB+AZC+A3D+A4E*ASF, “A” is equal to Quantity Progress where linked to“Fab Status by Qty” sheet.
To find out “Overall Percent Complete” when tank bottom fabrication is completed,
Overall Progress = Weighting of Tank Bottom (0.179) x Individual progress of Tank Bottom (100%) = 17.9%
