2 A brief on description of terms used has been included. It has been noted that experiences
attained are usually not recorded on documents for benefit of incoming young engineers,
to learn from seniors’ experience, resulting adversely on that knowledge requirement,
when these budding engineers depend solely on their respective individuals’ exclusive
learning in field, based on university educational learning, which is not virtually adequate
enough for a fast progress achievement. Therefore, to fulfill such working requirement to
extend all such learned resources to incoming new engineers, this small work in soft /
hard copy is presented to help those, who intend to know in advance about, an overall
perspective of building new facilities or extending existing one to augment for further
development.
3 Information has been given in text form only. No photo or diagram could be
incorporated, for under obligations of contracts, such information should not be revealed
for a definite number of years from contract commencement day to maintain sanctity of
secrecy conduct clause included on various contracts. Only, certain Google Earth images
have been included to assist reader. This work may not provide with in-depth specialized
subjective knowledge, but definitely, illumine with an idea about, how various
engineering procedures move in field, which knowledge cannot be drawn from university
anyway.
4 This book might prove beneficial for those candidates aspiring to become Certified
Professional Engineers within purview of EMF (Engineers Mobility Forum / IPEA,
Bharat / India representation by The Institution of Engineers India). Of course,
contents of book are very boring, but practical in working nature. All contents vary in
nature, including various usual procedures applied on EPC nature of contracts involving
in general, types of Industrial jobs carried out in industry applications. Also, included
certain statements & reporting procedures as well as, contract matters generally, adopted.
It is though uncommon among engineers to keep up / used to reading this type of work,
but, still practically, it is necessary. It has been my try to include all best collections from
my practical experience covering generally, all executive topics for extending assistance
to fellow engineers. It is hoped that reader shall enjoy boring work.
5 I am grateful to Cdr Eng A K Poothia, The Secretary & Director general of The
Institution of Engineers (India) for commending this work & extending most useful
advice for which, attempts were made to incorporate to some extent. Attempts shall
continue to incorporate readers’ suggestions as much as, practically feasible.

General
A Industrial development- Processing Facility formation
(Refer to photos)
1 It is necessary in interest of economical development that industrial project should be
promoted efficiently, for Industry being backbone of a nation, which keeps nation
moving forward. Sooner is industry created, better would be prospects for economy /
nation. Therefore, value engineering should efficiently be applied for product proposed to
be facilitated to enable consumer delivered with most economic & qualitative products.
2 When we talk of industrial development, we target to achieve mega industries for long
term production of intended products that may cost many billions dollars. Its concept,
FEED Front End Engineering Design, design, execution would certainly involve
considerable cost & time. All type of major industries require development in line to
meet public or economy requirement of self nation of inter nations. What class of
industrial should be promoted for modernization depends on various criteria as well as,
development value engineering. Oil & Gas, Power, Water Resources, Nuclear Energy &
many other infrastructures do require promotion, not only for an exclusive sake of
commercial business, but also, for sake of social as well as, economical development &
sustainability.
3 I have tried to include various procedures or steps in common that are required to
promote onshore downstream petrochemical facilities, which are meant for meeting
national & international requirements of natural & processed products. It should be kept
in view that promotion of any / every mega industrial is a national planning job, which
must be based on thoroughly conducted feasibility studies & research conducted during
long many years. Since, promotion of such development effects to some extent,
utilization of natural resources available in earth store that should not be blindly explored,
but, a balance / sustainability must be maintained for future generation to come. It makes
adopted decision be based on certain criteria that available resources may not be
exhausted at fast pace by current generation.
B Policy decision - Authorization -Technology Promotion
1 Government / State should promptly decide about, relevant policy in a positive manner,
for time remains extremely important factor to be worked out properly to get optimum
use of project, provided adequate funds are available within allocation of budget or
institutional financial borrowing should be made.
a Value engineering should be properly studied by concerned experts to reach a conclusion
that proposed product
b product shall be processed imparting no adverse effect to existing environment,
c product shall be most economical in production cost,
d product shall be easy to be transported to consumer market or end user facility,
e product shall be most beneficial to national society from every aspect / view of cost &
economy uplift as well as,
f product shall promote green technology & provide benefits to all people globally in long
run.
2 A right project charter must be constituted at very initial stage of conception for a
permanent reference, including various information such as, aim, target, policy, political
impacts on area & nation, rehabilitation & other possible bad effects, requirement of
additional infrastructures, generation of employment opportunities in both stages of

promotion of project as well as, its operation & maintenance, technology, stakeholders,
current value, earned value, long run value, continuous benefits, expected risks of all
sorts, whether or not, other alternative products could be promoted to achieve better value
engineering.
3 Sustainability development means ‘state of art’ technology that has been developed for
application on projects, which technology does not go against existing requirements &
neither, impacts adversely on availability of natural resources, when future generation
require all such sources. This means that both, current & future generations should enjoy
availability of all natural resources as well as, green technologies, without compromising
with positive effects of nature.
4 Value engineering shall play a significant role to many extents, when use of technologies
promotions is concerned. There could be options as far as, technologies are concerned,
which options based on considered factors & involvement of various aspects would
decide / determine about, which technological application shall deliver better results on
proceeds of product in long term as well as, in short term.
5 Short term facts could be land consideration, design considerations, construction cost
consideration, product environment friendly impacts consideration, transportation cost
consideration, availability of experts & artisans consideration etc. whereas, long term
considerations would be maintenance cost, life of projects or facility, safety risks
involved, public risks involved, future availability of alternate easy & economical
technologies that be currently under research stage.
C Facility requirement
1 Value Engineering effective application, Effective Technology, Product End User
Requirement Necessity, Approval & Financing, International competition, Cost
effectiveness, Safety Health & Environment SHE tenability, Sustainability. Should these
points be met by proposal, project may be given a ‘go ahead’ subject to meeting other
criteria.
2 Once Value Engineering factor has been included into plan consideration with full
integrity & incorporation of provisions in line with national & international policy for
such evolutionary developments, there remains no meaning to delay projects initiation by
its Charter authorization by respective stakeholders.
3 Finances have to be allocated to statutory requirements to give a ‘go ahead’ to various
phases or stages of project development, so that delivery be made in defined time for
follow up operations for consumers’ or end users. Since facilities demand various
disciplines, personnel, materials & equipment with licensed technology, all involved
criteria must be kept in consideration for a final start up.
D Facility Justification & Feasibility
1 Environmental sustainability - Cost viability in long term – Nationally beneficial to add
to economic growth – multipurpose approach & creation of employment, casual as well
as regular. Export potential of product.
2 Processing Technology & availability of raw or natural resource materials.

2 This may also, be used for demanded purpose of intended water line maintenance
discharge from some single loop.
3 At commencement, ditch section is considered shallow, but as it reaches moving within
various catchment areas, ditch section is considerably deepened like a big city drain.
Piping
1 Piping (Refer to photo) of carbon steel or ductile iron or Fiber reinforced plastics family
GRP, ERP, GRE etc. are used depending on requirement & structural adequacy to sustain
various imposable stresses.
2 Stress analysis is carried out for various loops giving location of various supports as well
as, anchoring requirement.
3 Various types of supports are designed for varying diameter of pipes for on ground or
underground or aboveground use.
FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) Pipes
1 RTRP stands for ‘Reinforced Thermosetting Resin Pipe’, a composite material consisting
of a thermosetting polymer, a type of polyester reinforced with glass or other fibers that
provide strength & stiffness to a composite material.
2 Different types of resins used for manufacturing GRP, GRV & GRE pipes are
‘Isophthalic resin’, ‘Vinylester resin’ & ‘Epoxy resin’ respectively, that are selected
according to required intended properties like chemical resistance, temperature resistance
& other mechanical properties.
3 Resins provide thermal & chemical properties such as glass transition temperature,
resistance to heat, chemical resistance etc. required for finished product. Properties of
GRP pipes can be varied by changing ratio of raw materials as well as, winding angle.
4 These pipes consist of three layers adherent to each having different characteristics in
relation to functional requirement.
Liners
1 Inner Liner – Veil (Glass), Resin: CSM (Glass), Resin
2 Structural wall - Roving (Glass), Resin
3 External liner- Veil (Glass), Resin

1 Inner Liner – Veil (Glass), Resin: CSM (Glass), Resin


a Inner Liner layer is chemical resistant due to being in direct contact with fluid &
therefore, responsible to resist chemical corrosion as well as, permeability.
b Internal surface is particularly smooth to reduce fluid head losses & also, opposes growth
of minerals & algae.
c This Liner has two monolithic sub layers. Inner one in contact with fluid is reinforced
with glass veil with resin content 90 %, while outer one reinforced with CSM glass with
resin content 70 % by weight. Standard liner thickness is about 0.5 to 1.5 mm.

2 Structural wall - Roving (Glass), Resin


a Glass Reinforced layers guarantee mechanical resistance of whole pipe against stresses
imposed due to internal & external pressure, external loads as well as, thermal loads.
b For GRP / GRV pipes, this layer is obtained by applying on previous partly cured inner
liner, continuous roving of glass wetted with resin under controlled tension.

An Overview Of Downstream Onshore Processing Trains & Supporting Units / Structures-Edition 2012

c For GRE pipes, structural wall is wound directly on a wet liner.


d This layer can contain aggregates like silica sand, if allowed by specifications, while,
thickness depends on design conditions.

3 External liner- Veil (Glass), Resin


a Topcoat or external liner is an outer layer of pipe consisting of pure resin. UV protectors
may be added, if so required, to protect pipe from effects of solar exposure.
b In case of meeting severe exposure condition like aggressive soils or very corrosive
environment, this external liner can be reinforced with a surfing veil or added with filters
or pigments.
c Fiberglass composites consist of glass fiber reinforcements, thermosetting resins &
additives designed & processed to meet specific functional performance criteria.
4 Amount, type & orientation of glass fibers in pipe provide mechanical strength. C Glass,
E glass & ECR / Advantex glass are used commonly depending on pipe application.
5 Various forms of glass reinforcements are named ‘surface veil’, ‘chopped strand mat’
(CSM), ‘chopped roving’, ‘filament roving’ & ‘woven roving’ (WR).
6 Raw materials like catalyst, accelerators, inhibitors, aggregates & pigments are used
together with resin & glass reinforcements to achieve desired properties of fiber glass
product.
7 Catalyst is an organic compound, which, when added to resin in presence of an
accelerator, determines polymerization reaction at ambient temperature.
8 Accelerator is a chemical compound used together with a catalyst to shorten
polymerization time.
9 Inhibitor is added to resin to reduce reactivity at ambient temperature.
10 There are two manufacturing processes ‘Dual helical filament winding process’ &
another being ‘Continuous winding process’ (Drostholm)
Pipe racks
1 Pipe racks (Refer to photo) are used for required purpose of running piping from one
point to other over ground levels.
2 These are generally constructed of steel structures founding on RCC footings, but RCC
frames structures are also, used.
3 Several km of pipes are run on these racks, supported & anchored to rack structures.
4 These are fully accessible structures for maintenance purpose.
5 Open steel or plastic flooring is provided on decking.
Heat tracing
1 Heat tracing is applied on piping carrying minus degree gas, which may freeze during
flow & block flow within pipes, for protection of which, heat is continuously maintained
on piping to keep carried gas in condensed form.
2 Various loops are provided on piping routes for various purposes.
Pipe supports / sleepers
1 Pipe supports / sleepers are used for purpose of carrying pipes at near ground levels.
2 These are RCC units located at defined spacing.
3 For direct support of pipes, steel structural supports are employed remaining, either
connected or touching pipe by shoes over lengths at various spacing meant for purpose of
sliding also.
4 For deciding locations of such supports & their respective anchorages, stress analysis is
conducted that dictates required spacing, dimensions & pipe structural base design.
5 For a pipe of dia not more than 4 m, not more than 12 m spacing is adopted.
6 For other smaller dia pipes, spacing depends up on standard length of pipes.
7 Pipes that need sliding movement at joints are provided such a base that allows
movement of pipe in direction of its run.
8 For that purpose, PTFE (Poly Tetra Fluro Ethylene) bearings, fixed on steel plates, duly

designed to withstand imposed forces are provided.


9Below pipe support shoe steel portion, a stainless steel plate is provided, so that this plate
slides over PTFE pads.
Anchor sleepers, big sleepers, thrust blocks
1 Anchor sleepers, big sleepers, thrust blocks etc. are employed at various points / locations
depending on stress analysis requirement on en-route pipeline.
2 These are thick & voluminous structures requiring thousand of cum of RCC for an
individual sleeper connecting a group of pipes.
3 On pipe loops, various kinds of stresses from all directions are imposed during operations
or flows, which are to be resisted by these sleepers.
4 At change in directions of pipe routes as well as, at Tee locations etc. big sleepers or

Technical Proposal
1 It is unavoidable in this age of tendering particularly, on various Industrial projects of
international Quality Requirement Assurance nature, that all bids are submitted in two
parts either together or separately, depending upon defined Client’s requirement.
Technical bid is always a lead submission package that is invited to fully &
comprehensively assure whether or not, involved project bidder is capable to execute &
prosecute intended requirements of project smoothly & efficiently keeping within limits
of constraints such as time, quality & cost. In case, submitted technical bid is rejected,
there shall be no further need for involved bidder to propose commercial part of project
bid.
2 Technical bid is a voluminous document containing complete details of bidder’s
intentions to carry out proposed project execution from its commencement to its
completion stage describing in details ways & methods for each & every part of intended
proposed project about, how these requirements shall be handled & whether or not,
bidder is adequately resourceful, technically capable & further scrutinizing all other
aspects done by client & engineer, bid is evaluated.
3 Technical bid should contain fully descriptive & completely integrated infrastructure of
involved bidder in all respects about design & execution philosophies, execution plan,
machinery & manpower proposal, alternative proposal, if so necessary contemplated by
bidder, full design criteria, materials proposed from its authentic source, acceptability of
Third Party Certification, deviation from defined contract & its controls, complete Safety
Programme Detailing & Risk Analysis, Hazard Study, Safety Records, Safety Plans
proposed, evidence of past safety capability records, various well designed formats to be
employed for using in whole duration of project
4 It also, requires descriptive proposals from its Quality Requirement / Assurance & quality
control section providing all necessary formats & detailed methods pertaining to quality
control maintenance including Inspection & test plans, check lists, & all quality
documentation procedures, execution or project construction method statements as well
as, provisions respect proposed independent materials testing laboratory.
5 All procedures pertaining to company documentations shall be included involving
internal documents matrix used & ensuring that documents traceability is / remains
smooth all times to come. Engineering procedures including procurement shall also, be
included within this proposal giving complete feedback on proposed designing system,
software to be used, designer’s potential, complete requirement of job related materials,
job temporary facilities to accommodate proposed manpower etc.
6 Since, required Technical Proposal is based on bid provided FEED documents by client /
company or client / company appointed FEED contractor, whatever contents of required
Technical Proposal be presented should be based on necessary technical directives related
compliance included within bid FEED. Bidder’s base firm proposal should not at all
deviate from bid FEED requirements. Competent bidder is required to endorse submitted
Technical bid stating that given bid is completely based upon provided FEED, which
meets all requirements unconditionally. Its content of certification should be given in
accordance to client format provided.
7 There may be an alternative proposal in addition to bidder’s firm proposal, which could
satisfactorily satisfy all requirements of FEED in addition to making cost saving & time
saving to promoting client according to defined Value engineering consideration that
owner / client could accept, if all proposals comply to provisions included within FEED.
Technical proposal is very comprehensive presentation content wise giving all necessary
information of proposed contract execution involving all aspects, from design to its

related implementation performance & handover stage. No room is allowed for any
commercial reflection within Technical submission. In fact, by making evaluation of this
document’s contents, its thorough consistency & capacity of bidder is measured from all
bids & contracts aspects.
8 Many rounds of Technical submission including Technical meetings are conducted to
scrutinize submission of all included chapters. These chapters should be simple in
presentation style to allow full / complete clear communications from bidder to contract
engineer / client, to facilitate an easy understanding, pertaining to proposed project
execution. All sources of procurable materials, equipment & all other items / components
to be used / organized for all permanent inclusions on project should be enlisted in a
scheduled manner in line with all FEED requirements. Proposed works schedule to meet
bid defined milestones, should be explicitly described convincing everyone concerned
stakeholder on client / company end that bidder approach is feasible to achieve indicated
or defined targets in practical terms, so that commissioning of facility shall be smooth
without causing or leading to any problems.
9 All workforce & staffing levels as well as, management to supervise & direct bid project
should be clearly defined including required CVs of all key levels personnel. These levels
should meet bid defined criteria according to given FEED as well as, bid expected
professional competencies. Design procedures should be clearly defined in a precise
manner including giving all designations of Information Technology to be utilized for bid
project. In brief, all other proposals for bid proposed facilities for all temporary works as
well as, for all permanent works should be included explicitly. It is a long format, but
should be precise & clear point to point involving all requirements / points. Bid client is
never interested in a voluminous documentation for show off purpose, but a precise
contents giving all true & relevant information is always welcome. It should be
remembered that all these proposal documents shall be required for bid actual
demonstration proving required consistency as well as, competency & capacity reflected
on bid proposal. It is better not to propose something, which is not practiced by bidder
otherwise, demonstration could detract bidder. Many cases have been noticed, when after
submission of proposal, comments are received from client / company / engineer asking
for many clarifications, which are difficult to reply positively & satisfactorily. Better, be
straight forward for bid submission.
10 Quality required assurance as well as, Execution statements constitute very important &
significant role for providing value to project technical bid, for which due time &
devotion must be given by proposed bidder. Relevant experts should be engaged for
required detailed inclusions of all necessary information / inclusion within bid documents
for engineer / company / client consideration. Untoward information should preferably be
avoided. Once, project bidder is short listed either by client / company / engineer or by
project establishment of project bid competency, call for its commercial presentation
should be given to bidder. Failing Technical bid, there is no use, if Commercial bid is
submitted even, along with Technical bid complying with FEED requirements.
Contract award
1 Within this procedure, all short listed parties shall be invited to tender for company /
client EPIC bid, who in turn calculate cost of demanded facility on EPIC basis or EPC
lump sum firm price basis for either whole or part of project job in defined fixed time
based on compliance with all FEED documents provided. Complete submission shall
include Technical bid on one part & Commercial bid, on other part. Sufficiency of its
Technical bid part shall decide whether or not, its Commercial bid part should be
considered.
2 After having its Technical bid qualified by project bidder, qualified bidders shall be
notified by engineer / company / client about opening time schedule of its commercial
bids. Then EPIC contract shall be awarded after complete scrutiny of all bid documents,

laboratory- dossiers
1 Term Quality Assurance or Requirement, which includes quality description, quality
compliance requirement, quality control, being significantly important from client /
customer satisfaction viewpoint that must be clearly understood by all participants /
stakeholders on proposed project. Many stakeholders do have an unclear concept
respecting these terms.
2 For information, QR / QA is a principle term, which applies to overall quality system
management, means Total Quality Management, while quality control applies to
particular quality control procedure. For example laboratory testing of material, site
checks, inspection & test plans & so many other technical procedural involvement during
construction operations constitute quality controls. Follow up of defined whole
procedures, as included within approved Quality Plan from project inception to its
handover & discharge that is to be made successfully to client / customer with full
satisfaction is termed Quality Requirement / Assurance.
3 It is understood that compliance with agreed system procedures would certainly deliver
quality product. But, recently, one term entitling Quality Requirement has been on lead
role that demands at every step of quality operations to evidence about, whatever has
been included on project must be required on production evidently, without granting any
concessions. QR / QA involve/s major policy & competency of client / company.

3 This document should be prepared by divisional quality manager / engineer in
conjunction with corporate as well as, project manager / construction manager / project
engineer, after studying all details & specifications relevant to its contract, General
Conditions of contract. Proposed draft should be approved by corporate management &
then by Client. It should be distributed as controlled copy that cannot be altered. Original
master document should be recorded with designated tracing reference as such, with
document controller. In case, any / certain alteration is required, another approval should
be obtained.
4 All relevant supervisory staff must know / understand to a maximum extent possible
about its contents, implications & interpretations regarding various provisions made
within such documents to their respective disciplines & explicitly explained to all
regarding, how these implementation shall be effected on project execution.
5 This document should detail necessary proposed documentations to be made on site in
relevance to specific project. These records should provide guidelines to be generally
used to produce documents namely NCR or Non Conformance Report, ITP or Inspection
& Test Plans, Check Lists etc. Proposed schedule of Method Statements about
construction & all other disciplines should also, be indicatively included. Term ‘Quality
Procedures’ is applied to all such documentations.
6 All foregoing Quality Requirement philosophies do refer to a system of quality
management that does not guarantee in itself, result in quality product. Quality product
depends on value of adhering to degree of compliance of quality testing procedure
applicable to respective product. Quality Control is a subsystem under purview of Quality
Requirement, while it is expected to meet demanded or specified requirements should
quality requirement procedures are fully complied with at every stage of quality system.
7 Quality system applies to all disciplines as well as, sub disciplines on a wider prospective
of Engineering Project Construction & Installation areas applicable on their FEED,
designs philosophies, designs concept, designs detailing, biddings, constructions,

completion & operations as well as, maintenance. For achieving targets on all disciplines
of projects, various procedures to govern quality system work efficiently under agreed
principles are formulated for general as well as, specific applications on respective
discipline or part of it. All such sub disciplines required knowhow of working proposed
systems, respective relevant technologies, engineering, prosecutions & whatever resulting
consequences.
8 Projects main control points or major disciplines names as Time, Cost & Quality are
significant & to an extent, these can be controlled & to that extent, quality requirements
are achieved. Time is 1st factor on top priority & its length is decided keeping in view all
foreseen risks & other factors that can pull time to any / whatever uncontrolled lines.
9 Cost is affected adversely in case, time is not honoured. Time based lost cost cannot be
recovered. Quality requires time for its application & as consequence, it may not be
achieved, when sufficient time is not allowed for its accomplishment. Fixing Time &
Cost remaining unchanged & delaying required activities, quality criteria shall certainly
be adversely affected leading to achievement of substandard product.
10 Basic principles on projects understandingly demand or expect that products should
comply with minimum required or demanded quality standards, while value engineering
expects, product to have quality higher than expected. Quality evaluation more than
defined one is termed value engineered over demanded quality. Every product is
expected to be added with such value engineering amount, which may or may not be
measureable in quality terms.

Introduction
1 Company / Client believes from its vast experience that one of key foundation blocks for
successful, efficient and cost-effective end product FACILITY is quality of detailed
engineering and design. Therefore, Company / Client places a very high importance on
Contractor’s selection of an internationally recognized Detailed Engineering and Design
Sub-Contractor or “competent in-house” organisation with a proven track record of
undertaking and successfully delivering similar projects in a single location under one
roof. Accordingly, Engineering and Design Subcontractor shall mobilize their team for
Project. Company / Client shall verify this at time of review of CV’s and interviews of
Key Personnel. This shall be one of various key bid evaluation criteria required to be
made as basis for selection of Contractor. CVs shall be reviewed from an overall
qualification viewpoint, which means only academic qualification shall not be an
exclusive basis, but practical specific experience on interdisciplinary spheres, to be
considered for acceptance of competency evaluation respecting all proposed key
personnel, along with their general capabilities including such as, communication skills,
efficiency to carry out jobs in field as well as, in office environment, caliber on project
management & how they would effectively respond client personnel, while prosecuting
project coordination activities. Engineering being considered very significant part on
any / every project management involved throughout life cycle of project, without which,
all other departments of project cannot move. Engineering objective is to provide clear
details in all respects on any / every discipline for any / every part of project, so that
implementation of any / every item is affected, without causing any issue carried out
efficiently. This requires detailing in such a style that no further inquiry should be raised
by site personnel responsible for implementation & simultaneously, details should be

convenient adequately to permit an ease or comfort on build ability or construction


ability. Otherwise, further post construction commencement required resolutions after
details are issued shall consume precious project time on making decisions & resulting in
delay on progress.
2 Contractor shall carry out site surveys to familiarize self with existing installations or
below ground services, if any / whatever pipelines, infrastructures, pipelines corridors
and tie-ins locations. Site survey is also, required to verify proposed pipelines routes and
confirm tie-ins location and configuration etc. and to retrieve necessary information
(data, drawings etc.) All survey records & database shall be verified by conducting full
survey of site to complete requirement of contractor’s scope of works. These actual
surveys shall form basis of actual design to be approved by either engineer or client.
Survey provided with FEED or tender document shall be treated only for guidance.
a It shall be Contractor’s responsibility to ensure that all relevant documentation
and drawings available with Company / Client (at various locations) are retrieved
in a timely manner, so as not to impede progress of detailed Design. All records

Commissioning, Commissioning, Start-Up, Initial Operation and Maintenance and hand-
over of FACILITY. Contractor shall certify, while submitting tender that every criteria
mentioned within FEED documents have been considered, while designing project &
included within bid price. Any / Every deviation should be explicitly detailed. Every /
Any alternative proposal should also, be elaborately detailed for engineer’s or client
consideration. At design stage, contractor shall be bound to apply all FEED requirement
& if possible, upgrade during design processes to avoid design revisions later. These
design processes shall require issue for information designs during processes, while final
drawings would be issued as issued or approved for construction. Design shall include
drawings covering all disciplines / final specification applicable to all disciplines of
project, bill of quantities, if so required or other various categories of documents
whatsoever to be drawn to facilitate design submissions.
4 Contractor shall start from engineering documentation supplied by Company / Client
contained in FEED Design Package and work on further develop design to achieve
Contract objectives and requirement. However, Contractor acknowledges that FEED
Design Package does not define Work in full detail. Contractor shall consider FEED only
as a guidance document for client’s requirement & therefore, fully develop project from
conceptualization to completion accordingly, so that project specifications are
satisfactorily met at end of project execution.
5 Contractor shall ensure maintainability criteria, maintenance philosophy and spare parts
philosophy, which are fully considered in development of detailed design from FEED.
Maintainability shall not be considered up to end of contractual period only, when final
handover is made, but also, should include facility life period maintenance philosophy to
permit optimization of maintenance cost. Designs that require continuous heavy
maintenance costs are not considered good. Designs that can be installed on fast track
basis as well as, that require reasonable regular maintenance costs are considered
suitable. Designs should be based on consideration of sustainable development to a
maximum extent feasible.

General Engineering Requirements


1 Contractor shall prepare all engineering documentation required for Work, documents
listed and produce all or any / whatever other documents necessary for successful
completion of Works. These documents should provide comprehensive engineering
design information pertaining to all disciplines involved on project, such that all relevant
discipline details are indicated self explanatory requiring as minimum attempts as
possible, for further issues to produce works executive details in form of shop & working
drawings, though which may not be completely unavoidable from all working
engineering viewpoints. Design provisions or requirements should be made explicitly
clear in its basics theoretical calculative form, giving adequate details to be well
understood & coordinated properly, all sequential activities for team engineers to co-
relate at various stages & at various offices. Clear details save time & provide efficiency
on performance of execution.

such design documents should be continuously reviewed during issue of drawings for
construction & also, should there require any / whatever change on equipment or vessels
to cover both short lead as well as, long lead items. Has been noticed on major size
projects that real input parameters concerning designs of vessels or equipment is not
made available at initiation of designs stage, which uncomfortable state forces designers
to issue designs based on past equipment data or 90 % probability / possibility, so that
budgeting estimation & other scheduling procedures are kept continuously progressive.
4 Review & update documents for safety, operability, maintainability, reliability and
ensuring their concurrence with environmental regulations and requirements. Foregoing
operations direct to procedures involved to be applied during selection of equipment
necessary for processing. Generally, update in industries do delay selection of such
equipment making, information regarding their safety aspects, operability manners,
reliability response & environment suitability cannot be known, while designing relevant
foundations & process trains design engineering. Absence of such data requires design
team to apply from time to time available update of state of art information from one or
more manufacturer. Many alterations could be made from design initial stage to final
design decision making & in some cases, even foundation may be considerably modified,
after structures are constructed or whole design is revised during construction processes.
This may cause updating register of documents & raising continuous technical &
engineering queries for clarifications during coordination process.
5 Review / update FEED specification and datasheets (as required and prepare additional
documents whenever required), engineering drawings, PFD’s (Process flow diagrams),
P&Ids (Piping & instrumentation diagrams), calculation sheets, engineering material
requisitions, Vendor drawing requirements list & schedule (VDRLS), purchase
requisitions (PR) and amendments as necessary up to 'As built' status. As stated earlier in
foregoing, all such revisions shall be required in line to continuous changes on project
permanent requirements.
6 Prepare Scope of Work and Specifications of Sub-Contracts. Evaluate technical bids
received from Vendors and Subcontractors. Scope of work should be explicit intimating
bidder all works & activities necessary included on project. All design criteria, required
designs, schedules, distribution of responsibilities should be indicated crystal clearly
pertaining to all disciplines. Scope of works description should be well coordinated to
provisions on drawings & specifications. Specifications should include their general &
specific project required descriptions of systems, materials, equipment, instruments,
design parameters, design requirements, investigation reports, investigations to be made,
reference to applicable codes / rules or bye laws, statutory bodies involved, tolerances on
various activities on all disciplines. Evaluation of technical bid should be done
comprehensively ensuring that all provisions required & directed on FEED have been
incorporated in line with proposed systems on all disciplines. All required discipline
plans such as safety, quality, execution etc. have been included with bid. All other
requirements that should be adequate to control project from all project aspects have been
included with technical bid.
7 Review and approval of Vendors data, drawings, other documentation and include /
update Project design drawings (core drawings / specification to be submitted to
Company / Client prior to approval by Contractor. All such documents should be
included as a part of technical bid presentation, so that employer or client is able to know
about, what is being proposed by EPC contractor. Vendors should be from listed schedule
or those, who are well reputed & deliver proprietary material or equipment. All
datasheets giving technical details, designs, installation methods, all required
compliances in line to specifications or industrial standards, performance records &
projections should be included with every proposal.
8 Provide detailed material takeoff and continuous monitoring of material changes for all

included for exhibition purposes.


3 These models should be fabricated in different modes like drawings that mean bird’s eye
view, sections within that & many different views for clarity.

Engineering Design-
1 For EPIC or EPC, design part is a major contribution to successful execution of contract.
Design of whole project components / constituents are demanded to be produced one by
one meeting timely requirement to project plan. Designing team should understand
explicitly contract philosophy & FEED documents, prior to commencing design work.
Complete Project Design Systems should be produced based on FEED & best possible
design alternatives for a minimum cost. Project target to be achieved should be clearly
understood.
2 First & foremost significant part of design process is selection of processing machine /
equipment to be installed as a part of processing trains, which machines may include
horizontal & vertical vessels, vibratory & rotating machines, pumps, oil tanks, gas tanks,
all related control instruments, electrical installations, gas installations, safety
installations, all equipment necessary for complete facility safety & controls, fire fighting
controls etc.
3 Equipment selections may take time & delay whole facility construction therefore,
prompt decisions should be made in this regard. It should be kept in view that foundation
designs pertaining equipment depend on parameters of procurable equipment. Initial
foundations designs may be amended based on final selection for inclusion of equipment.
Related drawings about equipment based on feedback available from FEED should be
schematically produced for considerations of structural design engineers for initial use,
which shall vary, may be to an extent of 10 to 15 % during final stage of designs issue.
All designs should be correlated in sequence, so as not to miss any part of any machine in
train. All designs of equipment to be included other than trains should also, be similarly
produced in a timely manner.
4 All constituent parts or elements of project regarding all engineering disciplines should
be enlisted & a programme charted out to show start & issue dates pertaining to various
design related drawings for review & approval by Clients. Discipline wise engineering
design work should then be entrusted to charge of a disciplinary design engineer. All
design discipline engineers should report to engineering project engineer or Manager as
case may be. Initial drawings after complete checking & review of design calculations
should be properly recorded, approved & issued for Client review & approval.
5 Client should promptly review these drawings & issue consent to facilitate design team to
proceed further for detailed design work.
a Design drawings in general may be classified to following categories
6 Facilities Key plan showing all sections or zones
a Plan showing process & non process area indicating trains, utilities, offsites,
circulation, control as well as, administrative areas.

26 Landscaping giving all soft & hard landscape layouts

Engineering Detailing-
1 After having received preliminary drawings approved by Client, design team should
concentrate to produce all necessary drawings, which should then be submitted along
with building permit application to relevant municipality, if so required.
2 Design engineers should also, commence with detailing of all structural & architectural
elements of included parts of project. All other disciplinary details should also, be taken
up simultaneously. This part always consumes much time & therefore, adequate staffing
should be allowed for details production.
3 These detailing should include sections, various details on plans, details of all elements
necessary for execution or for transmission of information to equip shop floor drawing
engineers for working drawing production. There shall be definitely hundreds of such
details discipline wise. Crosscheck must be applied to all these details, prior to giving a
final approval. Working out of details shall require multiple considerations of thought to
be given for end results of design, so as to make it convenient for ease of construction
execution with application of minimum efforts with keeping cost to a minimum as far as,
practically feasible.
4 Concept of detailing is a cumbersome job requiring competent skill on part of design
engineer, who coordinates mentally all possible operations related to designing &
construction by these details. Details dictate on many outcomes on site & help
construction engineers a lot, if well thought of in advance. Sometimes, good-looking
details are difficult for execution.

Page 47 of 456 suraj_engineer@yahoo.co.uk IEI Certified Professional Engineer Suraj Singh


My Life Truths Volume II
683407261.docx-
An Overview Of Downstream Onshore Processing Trains & Supporting Units / Structures-Edition 2012

5 Details should be as easy as possible to save procurement as well as, execution duration
to minimize cost. It is suggestible that as far as practicable, standard items should be
included in designs for easy procurement. Also, these items are well known to
experienced supervisors involved with construction operations. Typical details
production shall give good results for production purpose. Unnecessary details should be
avoided. Details should be explicit to make engineering coordination easy for easy
references. It has been experienced that multiplicity of documents coordination creates
unnecessary difficulties for execution team, while clashes & absence of necessary details
as well as, so many other factors result in raising of engineering & site technical queries
ETQ & STQ respectively. These queries further augment recording & execution
complicity. Generally it happens due to involvement of many hands as well as, change of
heads on same job. Some competent engineer should concentrate on one activity to reach
it to conclusive decision, so as to be finally sent to drafting section.
6 Also, cross-references on drawings should be properly reflected for there are chances of
missing these. It is also, suggested regarding, what details are required should be planned
in advance of commencing detailing work in the form of a working schedule to keep a
control on quantity of detailing work.

Design Schedules-
1 Major items schedules respecting all disciplines should also, be included within detailed
designs to guide construction team for placing various Material Take Off MTO after due
verification. After producing all necessary detailed documents, a guiding bill of quantity
BOQ should be prepared for whole project to assist construction team to place various
order after due verification of quantities as well as, applicable specifications & codes.
2 No limit governs quantification of production of schedules, for it depends on discipline as
well as, size of project. There may be hundreds of such schedules for some project, while
some project may have only a few. But quality schedules help placement of procurement
orders.
3 Scheduling is no easy job. It requires complete knowhow of item under consideration. It
also, requires complete coordination within all relevant drawings & technical documents
to reach final take off quantities & applicability of specifications & drawings as well as,
specialist specifications produced by manufacturers. Scheduler has to go through all these
procedures immersing fully for all related items.
Submissions-
1 All aforesaid project documents, which may include all design drawings, detailed
drawings, schedules, project specifications designed by specialist engineers should be
registered properly according to agreed system of documentation & thereafter, be
submitted under cover of a transmission sheet to approving authority engineer for
technical approval in form of IFC Issue for Construction.
2 It is not essential that documents should be approved in first submission. Comments
received back from engineer should be incorporated on revised documents & resubmitted
keeping process continued, until documents are approved for construction.
3 After approval for construction status, document should be copied in required numbers as
agreed within documentation procedures duly sealed on document & circulated to
concerned parties. Copies should also, be transmitted to engineer for site use.
Shop drawings
1 All details as explained above cannot be practically produced within these documents.
Depending upon various factors related to available material, details provided on
approved drawings / trade practice & further minute technicalities involved for
production operations, it shall be essential to produce some more documents to be used
by shop floor engineer.
2 These documents shall be worked out from coordination among all such gathered

information solving probable clashes & giving a final shape for production or execution
on site.
3 These documents should also, be passed through approval procedures & IFC document
should be issued to site for construction.
4 There shall be hundreds & may be thousands such documents necessary to be produced
from time to time of site requirement. These can be entitled shop drawings.
Working drawings-
1 Even after availability of all approved documents, there shall be required some more
drawings to be used by supervisors on site as well as, in workshop.
2 These drawings should support with further details of sequence of works in form of real
fabrication & execution at shop floor or on site.
3 These drawings should be well drawn clearly, so that supervisors do not require further
assistance to get job done without further details.
4 These drawings should also, be approved, but all drawings do not require approval.
5 In some case based on contract drawings & shop drawings, further details are worked out
which are consistent with approved drawings, may be used directly virtually off record.
6 Otherwise, these drawings should also, be approved by engineer in which case, proper
documentation is necessary followed by issuing procedures as explained earlier.
Technical Queries-
1 A technical query is raised, when some discrepancy is discovered pertaining to any /
whatever design item not correlating or corresponding between architectural & structural
or any / whatever other discipline drawing details.
2 For resolution of correct detail, discrepancies are raised in form of a technical questions
format giving full details regarding discrepancy & if possible, a solution should be
proposed or clarification sought or understanding for confirmation made.
3 This document is originated by relevant engineer, checked by technical or engineering
section & authorized by site management for transmission to engineer for response.
Engineer scrutinizes questions & writes back answers for execution on site & recorded as
‘red line mark up’.
4 There may be engineering queries ETQ or site technical queries STQ or SC site
clarification, depending on mode of format adopted on project.
5 ETQ is generally used by engineering working team only, whilst STQ is used for site
execution purpose.
Site works queries-
1 During carrying out works on site, dictated by site conditions & to comply with
specifications & design criteria, it usually happens that suitable adjustments have to be
made to design details on safer consideration.
2 Such situation requires an agreement between Contractor & engineer on site, which
should be recorded on STQ for confirmation.
Types of Working / Practical Queries for Coordination Purposes
1 Proposals for technical resolutions-
a Other than aforesaid queries, there shall be many instances, when alternative
detailed proposal are to be worked out for site requirement to meet design criteria
& practicalities, proposals for such problems are made for engineer’s approval.
b Full details in form of sketches are prepared & put in form of STQs or directly in
form of sketches as working drawing as convenient.
c All virtual disciplinary clashes on site due to unforeseen conditions may be
resolved on site & recorded as technical resolution in same manner.
2 Documentation appraisals-
a At time of contract execution as well as, during whole currency of contract,
Contractor shall from time to time receive thousands of documents in form of
contract documents, post contract documents etc. which should be appraised

should have on his tips on database any / every required document located
immediately.
c Arrangements should be such that documents for a particular element on job
should be proficiently filtered out for better control. Project in charge should
ensure that all required documents according to register as well as, fulfilling
practical needs of project for construction have been issued by designers.
3 Construction ability checks-
a Issued / approved for construction documents pertaining to all disciplines must be
checked sequence wise as well as, discipline wise to make sure that these contain
well coordinated information necessary for 100 % construction of relevant portion
or element. Project engineer should immediately notify any / every missing
information to be provided proficiently. Any / whatever clashes observed should
be recorded on ETQ or RTQ be raised for a possible resolution, without accepting
any delay to execution. Approval about queries procedure should be perused
personally in some urgent cases & resolution communicated to supervisor
concerned for onsite implementation, prior to mistaken work is carried out.
4 Inference of technical documents-
a Inference of technical documents is no easier an activity. Only a competent
project engineer or an experienced discipline engineer should be entrusted job to
explore any / every missing information as well as, to know, whether or not
issued documents are giving adequate information for purpose of full construction
or yet, technical queries are necessary to be raised. This activity requires total
concentration to study contents of design & their respective coordination &
mutual interfaces. It depends on volume of documents about, what duration is
required for complete understanding of technicalities involved on design. Study &
review should not be confined to design drawings only, but detailed specifications
should also, be included, so that complete project requirement is properly
integrated for physical execution.
5 Engineering meetings
a Meetings for engineering discipline form extremely significant portion of
contract. Actually this activity commences at tender negotiation time, when
technical proposal is submitted. Hundreds of clarification related questions are
raised by Client on contents of technicalities offered by Contractor as well as,
those at pre bid stage, as replied by Client based on Contractor queries. For a
collection of important queries, technical meeting is conducted to resolve issues in
hand directly between two parties.
b During contract stage, when design is submitted, meetings are conducted for
every discipline for providing a satisfactory response on design questions,
clarifications & software related issues or formal presentation of PDS project
document system. During this stage, meetings shall be very long, but impart
efficiency for decision-making & save time for approvals.
6 During construction stage, regularly programmed meetings are conducted for engineering
difficulties or other matter related therewith, which require urgent attention. These
meetings more or less form part of regular progress meetings, until lot of queries have
been accumulated necessitating separate meeting. Day to day meetings should be
conducted on site between area engineers of two parties to resolve matters subject to
approval of field engineering manager of Client.
7 Engineering meetings cannot be confined to aforesaid instances, but according to job
requirement, these have to be conducted at any / every level of supervision to expedite

site works progress. These meetings also, involve contribution from quality assurance &
control engineering section on site for urgent decisions & acceptable to construction
department.
8 Construction Method statements
a During construction phases, activity wise construction method statements are
required to be issued to supervisors on site to adhere to statements for smooth
carrying out of activity concerned.
9 These statements should be approved by Client, prior to commencement of relevant
activity. Method statement should be prepared by project or discipline engineer or quality
engineer or office engineer, depending on availability on site. This document should
contain full information regarding activity under consideration, which gives about, how
required sequence & technicalities shall be carried out & about how inspection should be
conducted based on requirement of Inspection & Test Plans / quality check list as well as,
conduct of necessary testing & laboratory involvement from time to time.
10 All disciplines require method statements. These should therefore, be prepared in
advance, checked & approved by site manager for further transmission to Client for final
approval as IFC or AFC & circulated to site as professional documents.
11 No limit governs method statements numbers. Agreement has to be made between Client
& Contractor on requirements.
12 For reference to reader, a number of method statements have been appended only for
knowledge exchange. These are based on practical experience & are used on projects.
Please use them for guidance only & create your own statements for particular
requirement. But basics of methods writing can be advised herein. Just think of what is
solution of particular construction operation.
13 Contemplate on what involved minor activities are. What are sequences & materials to be
used for temporary as well as, permanent inclusions? What are other requirements for
accomplishment of operation from inception of activity to final outcome? After having
considered all these, make a sequence thinking that you are available on works &
carrying out activity. How activity should be sequenced one after other & write statement
lines & then recompile to a comprehensive statement?
14 There shall be a long list of method statements or procedures from different engineering
disciplines.
15 For example, site preparation, camp construction, temporary facilities establishments,
earthworks, excavations, blinding concrete, formworks, reinforcement fabrication,
reinforcement assembly or placement, concreting, finishes activities, complete HVAC
system, electrical system, loss prevention system, specialist gas fire suppression system,
aluminum works, cladding works, structural steel erection at low as well as high levels,
road works, paving, piping both below & above ground, pre-commissioning,
commissioning, performance, maintenance, quality testing & many more.
16 It is not practically possible to produce all methods in one go, but quiet in advance of
relevant activity allowing time for approval. Statement should be prepared & submitted
for approval. Basics of activity should be conferred with relevant supervisors & quality
personnel & then finalized to specifications & design requirements. Document should
form an integrated approach for job as professional.

Chapter 4
Construction & Controls-
1 Construction & controls are very interrelated sections for successful completion of any /
every project. Design may be done over safe or optimum, but real construction involves

Page 51 of 456 suraj_engineer@yahoo.co.uk IEI Certified Professional Engineer Suraj Singh


My Life Truths Volume II
683407261.docx-
An Overview Of Downstream Onshore Processing Trains & Supporting Units / Structures-Edition 2012

actual expenses, contract time & reputation. It should be motto of any / every
organization to apply good controls on every project to keep on line with programme /
planning, an actual part of controls. Control includes, progress, cost, time, budget, quality
requirement / assurance & engineering & safety.
2 These are all integrated divisions, which should move in unison to achieve project target.
A well-designed project could be jeopardized during construction phase from budget
viewpoint should it not be given due controls applications properly.
Schedules- Programming
1 Programming schedules indicating by GNAT bars or by CPM or PERT various graphical
representations respecting the overall & detailed plans for the time, activities, milestones,
manpower requirement, machinery requirement, cost flow & all other requirement &
running reviews of all these during the whole currency of the project from real progress,
lost time recoveries as well as look ahead projections. These documents are produced
involving all sections working for the project & reports are inter considered by all
departments.
2 Planning engineers or the project control engineers work for such activities dedicated on
the project & report from day to day & time to time basis. The planning activities
commence from the day of commencement to the final completion & documents are
produced from level 1 to may be level 5 depending on the project or the contract
specification requirement. Generally primavera or MS project software are used for the
professional documentation for planning purpose.
3 During tender stage also programming documentation giving complete details &
milestones, manpower, machines, cash flow etc are given for the inclusion with the
Technical Proposal, which is considered as one of the competencies of the proposal. In
case the details do not give full information about the proposed methods of execution for
which it forms a part, the proposal may be liable for rejection.
Mobilization-
1 Very first step to get into stage of physical establishment for construction. Site is
formally taken over & all transfer stations are established using available satellite
records. Surveying department commences its works for establishment objectives.
Approvals are obtained from authorities concerned & from engineer / Client.
2 Applications are made for record drawings from statutory services authorities, if so
required. Applications are also, made to operating authorities for issue of all record
drawings, if so required for permits. Permit to work PTW is required, prior to
commencement of any / every excavation in hot & cold work areas. No excavation is
allowed in projects, until these permits are obtained. For application of work to start
permit, documentation is carried out giving details about applied work, official award
letter, availability of safety officers, full time supervisor, method statement etc. & then
application is considered for sanction.
3 Fencing is erected & establishment of temporary camp / offices are affected according to
engineer approved plans & method statement.
a All arrangements for required accommodation for personnel, sanitary facilities,
water supply for drinking as well as, for washing purpose, electrical & air
conditioning, fire fighting, access to camp, security, messing, sewage treatment
plant, leisure areas, common rooms, sports courts, parking, swimming pool, local
shops etc. as required by contract & temporary facilities that Contractor or
engineer deem necessary should be provided.
4 Similarly, site offices establishment should also, be constructed according to site
establishment approved plans & Permit to Work obtained before commencing for site
establishment offices. All provisions of utilities should be made according to contract,
engineer & Contractor requirement.
5 Site offices should start functioning on or before appointed date according to programme

of mobilization. It should be kept in view that some agreed percentage of payment should
be released, when mobilization is completed & work can be commenced with.
6 Mobilization also, includes deployment of required manpower, machinery & supervisory,
construction, safety, planning & engineering as well as, administration staff, without
permitting any loss of time. This deployment shall accelerate procedure on
commencement of job in beginning, by which action time may be gained to keep in line
with approved programmes.
7 Smart & efficient project managers & engineers understand this aspect very well & keep
very proficient at this stage as additional efforts are required to commence with project.
Running project may not be that difficult to push, but starting & streamlining all
departments related operations demand efficiency & hard work.
8 Site offices require full fledged modern computerized facilities for conducting fast
interaction & communication, intranet, internet, telecommunication, conferencing,
sanitary, water supply, drinking water dispensers, refreshments, electrical supply, standby
generator, heat, ventilation & air conditioning, first aid, ambulance, doctor for immediate
attention with nurse, assistants & a well established site clinic.
9 Site offices require fully established stores, warehousing, mechanical & auto maintenance
& repair workshops, vehicular & equipment parking areas, labour temporary shelters for
lunch & tea etc. as well as, for rest pauses considered necessary under safety management
for prevention of heat stroke & environment attack during hot working hours.
Materials-
1 Without arranging materials in time, no project can be completed in time. This is an only
item that may delay completion of project due to possible non delivery in time. Material
constitutes more than 60 t0 70 % budget for contract & every prudent Contractor should
intend to make as much saving as is possible out from this element of expenditure,
simultaneously keeping in line with quality requirement assurance & control procedures.
2 Every purchase department manager & owner of company performs its best to procure
acceptable material within reasonable & minimum cost, making trial & again from a
number of interested vendors both before & after award of a contract. There may be some
delay to decide pertaining to from which vendor or supplier materials would be procured.
This is also, expected in a similar fashion from prospective sub Contractors.
3 But relevant purchase managers should not endeavor to spend unnecessary redundant
time on this activity, but make a decision in time to get to site approved materials in
planned time including all FAT as well as, SAT & performance tests complied with.
4 Material approvals is a tedious & time consuming exercise, which must be given due
consideration & optimum time management for a possible successful completion of
contract. It has to be remembered that missing approval, no purchase order can be
released by procurement manager or project engineer / manager. It should also, be taken
note of that there are hundreds of required permanent inclusion able materials, respecting
which approvals shall have to be obtained. Every submission required full manufacturer’s
information, engineers specifications as well as, conventional practice demand / updated
standards & these should also, be covered within budget cost, otherwise escalation shall
result in as an impact should delay is allowed further resulting in delay on completion,
consequently, contractually leading to imposition of liquidated damages LD on contract.
5 Actually, it is suggested that major homework should have been carried out at tendering
time itself to avoid such delays of course, market may fluctuate, but there shall remain
room for negotiations with vendors or suppliers.
Manpower- Workforce
1 Significant is this element in absence of which nothing is practically feasible for working.
Difficulty is to be faced, when well trained workforce is not available in time from
expected source. Contractor shall try to deploy manpower / workforce costing within job
budget. There shall occur be so many problems for deploying them & providing

Page 53 of 456 suraj_engineer@yahoo.co.uk IEI Certified Professional Engineer Suraj Singh


My Life Truths Volume II
683407261.docx-
An Overview Of Downstream Onshore Processing Trains & Supporting Units / Structures-Edition 2012

demanded facilities on contract. Human resources department should be efficient to deal


with this matter, so that particular delay is avoided due to non-availability of required
planned manpower / workforce.
2 Workforce shall be time wise required respecting all disciplines & be kept on mobilizing
in & demobilizing out according to project requirement. Similarly staff shall also, be
mobilized & demobilized according to contract requirement. On considerable big size
projects, mobilization & demobilization programmes are prepared & approved by
engineer / Client to ascertain that job commences in time & after demobilization,
progress is not affected adversely. In fact, only after approval from Client is obtained,
any / required demobilization can be effected though approval shall not be withheld
unreasonably. Control of manpower / workforce constitutes in itself a separate mini
discipline involving complete procedures from making requirement, forming recruitment
strategy, approving strategy, using agencies & then interviews, short listing of selections
& appointment on contract followed by mobilization to job site. This is a long running
process, which must be preplanned to avoid any / whatever expected conflict with site
requirement.
Equipment-
1 Equipment necessary for inclusion on project permanently requires considerable input
from Authorization, FEED stages to performance stage. Technology decision for project
dictates model & types of equipment to be installed for facility. Elaborate & descriptive
detailing is extremely necessary during designing, approval & procurement stages.
Equipment installed must satisfy design requirement, failing which facility shall be
jeopardized of required performance giving any / every possible halt to processing &
Client or operation authority, who shall place / impose designer or EPIC Contractor liable
to compensate all damages incurred to it by faulty commissioned equipment.
2 Equipment remains always too expensive requiring making competent decisions for
permanent inclusion as well as, for election of vendor. Decision pertaining model dictates
foundation designs. This need should also, be kept in view, while working on designs to
avoid delay on account of providing input to civil design team.
3 Frequent amendments / modifications have been experienced on major projects during
day of concreting or one or two days before. This type of bad practice should preferably
be avoided. If possible, certain decisions could be taken at FEED stage & EPIC
Contractor be directed to comply with vendor of equipment based on Novation of item
related manufacturing & supply services order.
Procurement-
1 Procurement means to supply to site all materials & equipment, which process
commences from requirement scheduling, vendor selection, quotation invitations, short
listing quotations, conducting specifications matches, ensure financial viability, ensure
approvability, make sure warranties applications & then final decisions based on
quotation that fits within budget & items be best for optimum performance according to
requirements of contract.
2 Every company has established its own procedures meeting guidelines of international
quality procedures ISO 9001 according to which, full corporate management is involved
for procurement management practically effected by procurement manager / engineer of
corporate part of company management. This department involves itself for complete
operations front estimations of items quantities through relevant delivery to site & taking
up issues to insurances in case of transportation damage.
3 During tender stage itself, expected items are invited for quotations for specialized &
important disciplines with negotiations done. Later on, subject to condition that work is
awarded to, further procedure continues, whereby final & confirmed quantities are
worked out based on engineer’s approval of proposed material or machine, which
approval proposal or submittal is separately applied to engineer or representative, prior to

Page 54 of 456 suraj_engineer@yahoo.co.uk IEI Certified Professional Engineer Suraj Singh


My Life Truths Volume II
683407261.docx-
An Overview Of Downstream Onshore Processing Trains & Supporting Units / Structures-Edition 2012

placement of procurement order. This is very time consuming process as submission,


comments, rejection, incorporation of comments, re approval etc. all are involved.
Process involved initially complete package submission meeting defined documentation
procedures. A competent & experienced engineer should be involved to carry out all
these procedures for technicalities are to be resolved during entire exercise. Study
pertaining to each & every requirement should be conducted by relevant disciplinary
engineer & quotations accordingly should be invited. Based on received quotations &
financial factors, further scrutiny of quotations regarding conformance to demanded
specifications & project design criteria are done. Then a comparative statement is
prepared giving full technical as well as, financial status with feasibility of timely
manufacture / delivery & financial matters such as, demand of letter of credits or other
financial support etc. All are reflected to be examined by management for making a
decision promptly.
4 Once decision is made in favour of one of suppliers, further submission procedures
should be started to obtain engineer & Client’s approval, since procurement order cannot
be placed, without obtaining Client’s or engineer’s approval.
5 After having obtained engineer’s approval, requirement is processed for placing a
procurement order by management & all accounting procedures effected / delivery
schedule confirmed. That schedule should also, be agreed by the engineer & adherence to
agreed dates have to be adhered, until unforeseen circumstances irrelevant to general
circumstances play any / required role.
6 Delivery should be made smoothly all in good condition to site & site manager should
arrange complete required examination by its team as well as, approval of delivery by
engineer concerned, so that delivered material or equipment is included for the part
percentage secured advanced payment as agreed on planning schedule.

Physical Construction-Contract management


Construction Project Management-Physical construction
1 After having mobilization been completed, it is time for commencement of permanent
works, for which actual contract is meant for. It is definite that civil construction takes
lead generally on all projects. This requires availability of all ‘approved for construction’
drawings circulated under control to relevant supervisors / engineers for purpose to
correctly prosecute works according to contract requirement. Sooner initiation of
commencement of permanent works is affected, better prospective remains to save time
and money on project construction.
2 Every site manager / project manager should endeavour project construction plans with
support of schedule engineer to keep at least in line with approved programme at least, if
not advanced one. For this attainment, all necessary resources availability should be
properly coordinated. For EPIC case, all design matters should also, be properly
coordinated to keep in line to facilitate easy construction. There may be certain case,
when due to some unavoidable circumstances, some portion of contract cannot be
prosecuted, project manager should immediately find an alternative portion to replace
prosecution, so as to keep an equivalent proportion of progress intact. Civil engineering
part of contract is never that easy for it requires basic works on site involving trades
persons / semi & unskilled workforce along with materials in site. Relevant engineers
supporting on site should be well experienced & proactive to take up responsibility for
results orientation. A well coordinated approach is always necessary, for there could be
many instances requiring on making site decision to resolve technicalities that must be
immediately effected of course, meeting requirement & properly recorded as a part of
field office engineering.
3 Physical construction requires a concentrated as well as, diverse attention of quality
assurance & control section or department on site. There should be caused no delay on

My Life Truths Volume II
683407261.docx-

this account for approvals & constant inspection attendance must be ensured whenever
necessary on particularly a fast track project.
4 Every activity is inspected according to Inspection & Test Plans ITPs based on a
checklist CL & percentage witness etc. Hold points should be released, when activity is
on that status. Most jobs are based on concreting constituting very important component
element of contract & quality requirement assurance should take proper attention for this
onsite operation. It should also, be noted that whilst, civil engineering activities are
prosecuted on site, simultaneously, offsite on a foreign station or in a foreign land, other
discipline activities for example production of equipment, pre engineered parts of
structure & other procurable items might be under manufacture, demanding factory
testing according to procedures approved. QR / QA & QC should take into consideration
of proper inspection attendance there as well under supervision or surveillance or witness
of engineer or experts for acceptance of factory products as ‘level 1’ & completion of
parts in factory or manufacturing place as ‘level 2’ inspection, prior to equipment is
shipped to site location. It is no use should equipment be rejected after delivery on site.
Contract management
1 It is very wide term on Industrial contracts. Basically it is main contract that requires
well-established professional management, but also, covers various subcontracts as well
as, services contracts. Requirement of complete knowledge of relevant laws, procedures
& coordination correspondence are extremely significant for performance of Contract
management. It is not just one discipline, but from beginning of project & until post
completion, Contract management shall be required to be applied & represented on site as
well as, in home office for resolutions of many complexities. This term also, covers a
wide part of documentations to be prepared for forming future arbitration basis as well as,
proceeding.
2 It may involve costing effects, claims, extras, extension of time claims, additional
contractual obligations, contractual correspondences & many more legal affairs, requiring
resolutions on contract or subcontracts as well as, services part of low tier vendors. This
term is very complex as its proper implementation necessitates contracts manager to
know & properly understand engineering, construction, co-ordinations & relevant
contractual & general laws applications on contracts.
Construction project management
1 Project site manager or construction manager or if project engineer be authorized for this
responsibility, got very leading & significant obligation to dispose off on a daily &
hourly basis.
2 What goes on site is direct responsibility for accountability.
3 Daily, weekly, monthly programmes as well as, all disciplines coordination being must
for speeding up of operations. Then also, it involves duty to arrange & coordinate
materials as well as, other resources to be utilized on project.
4 Attendance on engineering, construction, safety & other meeting is a must.
5 Outcome of construction depends on efforts of construction team.
6 Coordination with all team members as well as, team members of engineer Client is a
must.
7 Co-ordinations with all sections of site teams & home office teams as well as,
procurement are very significant activities.
8 Authorizations of letters & correspondences produced by contract as well as, other
departments for project remain also, one of duties.
9 Reporting all functions to Client as well as, to home office & resolutions of all possible
solutions is also, one of responsibilities.
10 Authority has been invested with him to allow resources promotions & imparting training
for personnel of all categories as on job training. Job requires very dynamic & passionate

3 Base plate drawing


a This drawing shall show all dimensions and details of base plate, including anchor
bolts, which be taken into account in design of concrete foundation. When need
for a slight adjustment of anchor bolts during erection is expected, this shall be
indicated on drawing. Scale for details shall be kept at least 1:10. For small and
simple structures, this drawing may be combined with general arrangement
drawing.

b Scale of drawings- Drawings shall be made to an appropriate scale.
5 Bills of material
a Bills of material shall show weights of all large members from viewpoint of
transportation and erection at site as well as, total weight of structure.
Steel structures
1 Structural steel design shall be carried out in accordance with relevant project, general
specifications and international codes. Plastic design method in AISC Manual shall not
be used in steel design. Steel structures shall be designed for loads and load combinations
allowed In this specification. Normally, only pinned column bases shall be used in design
of steel structures. Use of fixed base plates for certain type of pipe racks and buildings
may be necessary, because of deflection considerations. Where headroom, access or
equipment arrangement permit, wind and other lateral loads on a steel structure shall
preferably be transferred to foundations through vertical X-bracing or K-bracing included
on transverse and longitudinal column lines of structure.
2 As a second choice, wind and other lateral loads on a structure should be transferred to
foundations through moment resistant frames in one direction and vertical X-braced or
K-braced frames in other direction. Structures that resist lateral load with rigid frame
systems in two directions should be avoided. Method of bracing selected for a structure
should generally be used throughout structure. Compression bracing for steel structures
shall normally be designed with wide flange and structural tee shapes. For tension
bracing, single angle or structural tees may be used. Double angle bracing, because of
maintenance difficulties shall not be permitted for either compression or tension
locations. When using structural tees in compression, design shall include bending
induced by eccentrically loaded connections. Braces for structures subject to vibration
from equipment shall be designed as compression members. Horizontal bracing shall be
provided in plane of a floor, platform or walkway, when necessary to resist lateral loads
or to increase lateral stiffness of unit.
3 Floor grating shall not be allowed to resist lateral loads in diaphragm action, without
having been investigated. In a floor system, beam compression flanges should be
considered to be fully braced, when a concrete slab is cast to match bottom face of
compression flanges on both sides or when chequered plate is bolted or welded to
compression flanges or when grating or metal deck is welded to compression flanges.
Grating shall normally be either clipped or bolted and therefore, should not be considered
as adequate compression flange bracing. In such cases, additional vertical and / or
horizontal bracing in floor system shall be provided. Bar joist floor and roof systems are
generally considered to be too light for heavy industrial plant work. However, when
approved by Designer, bar joist systems may be used on a project.
4 Steel Structures shall be designed, so that surfaces of all parts should be readily
accessible for inspection, cleaning and painting. Pockets for depressions, which would
hold water shall be provided drain holes or otherwise protected.
5 Connections for steel structures shall conform to following requirements:
a Shop connections may be bolted or welded. Field connections shall normally be

My Life Truths Volume II
683407261.docx-

bolted, however, when approved by Designer, welded field connections may be


used. Bolted connections for primary members shall utilize high strength bolts
conforming to ASTM A325 or A490. A minimum of 2 M20 bolts shall be used
for all connections.
6 These connections shall be designed as bearing type. Those connections subject to
vibration or stress reversal shall be bearing type. Loads for bearing type connections shall
be based on threads excluded from shear plane. Turn of nut method or load indicator
washers shall be used for tightening all connections. Bolted connections for secondary
members (e.g. purlins, girts, stair framing etc.) shall be made with A307 bolts with
appropriate finish. Connections will normally be designed by Supplier and checked by
Designer in accordance with project construction specifications and loads shown on
drawings. Moment connections and special connections, however shall be worked by
Designer duly shown on engineering drawings.
7 Moment connections can be bolted or welded type, depending on type of structure and
situation. Designer shall determine type of connection to be used for each structure. All
shear connections shall be designed and detailed by Supplier and checked by Designer.
Reactions shall be shown on engineering drawings or per calculation note provided by
Designer. Plant area shall have primary structural connections continuously seal welded,
except high strength bolted field connections. Primary structural connections include
horizontal and vertical vessel supports, beams and columns on major pipe racks,
inaccessible maintenance areas etc.
8 Forces in truss members and all main bracing shall be shown on engineering drawings
with plus signs indicating tension and minus signs indicating compression or per the
calculation note provided by Designer. Minimum thickness of any / every structural steel
plate or bar shall be 10 mm. Gusset plates shall not be thinner than members to be
connected and shall have a thickness of at least 10 mm. Welded steel grating for platform
covering shall be 30 mm x 6 mm bearing bars at 30 mm on center. Cross bars shall be
twisted square 6 mm on each side and spaced not over 100 mm center to center, hot dip
galvanized in accordance with ASTM A123 and A143 for corrosive environment. E70xx
welding electrodes shall be specified for all shop and field welding of structural steel. All
welds shall be continuous. All bracing shall be arranged to minimize torsion and where
practicable, be arranged concentrically about resultant line of force.
9 Connections wherever possible shall be arranged, so that their respective centroid lies on
resultant of forces those members intend to resist. When condition cannot be achieved,
members and connections shall be designed to resist any local bending due to eccentricity
of force. In practice, it is noticed that corroded steel plates and bolts limit expected
movement, which may result in additional stresses. Designer should consider this point to
include sequential additional stresses in their respective design consideration. Steel
structures supporting equipment shall be fireproofed, where required by risk & safety
analysis.
Reinforced concrete structures and foundations
1 Cast in place or in situ concrete structures shall be designed in accordance with ACI 318,
except as indicated otherwise in this specification.
2 Cast in place or in situ concrete structures shall be designed for loads and load
combinations required according to codes & description elsewhere in project documents.
Working strength or limit state of serviceability design methods shall be used for
structural design of concrete members, unless otherwise indicated. Load combinations
and load factors for all concrete design shall be adopted in accordance with ACI 318.
Design and details of Cast in place concrete structures shall consider monolithic nature of
hardened concrete.
3 Construction joints in a concrete structure shall be located, so as to least impair integrity
and unity of structure. Construction joints in beams at column or pedestal faces should be

avoided. Designer / Contractor Site Management shall approve location of all


construction joints on site agreement. Moving concentrated loads on elevated concrete
beams and slabs shall be treated in accordance with applicable recommendations of
referenced AASHTO specifications.
4 Slabs at grade for buildings and process areas shall be designed in accordance with
publications ‘Concrete pavements for heavy storage areas’
5 Underground structures such as basements, rectangular tanks, sumps, and pits shall be
designed in accordance with latest referenced PCA bulletins and / or BS8007. Design of
such structures shall include effects of ground water pressures and buoyancy. A
minimum factor of safety of 1.1 for buoyancy shall be used ignoring soil cohesion.
Concrete process treatment structures shall be designed in accordance with ACI 350 R.
For all liquid retaining structures, special precautions shall be taken for water tightness.
6 All joints shall be fully detailed by Designer. A corrosion allowance of 3 mm shall be
required for all anchor bolts. Bolts shall be hot dip galvanized in accordance with ASTM
A123 and A143. Foundation design in addition to above applicable criteria shall meet
following requirements:
7 Foundations shall be designed in accordance with project geotechnical soils report.
Foundations for structures shall be sized and stability determinations made using service
loads only. Load factors shall not be included in these design operations. Unless there is a
conflict with project soils report, individual foundations shall normally be used for major
equipment. If combined foundations are appropriate, centroid of bearing area should
coincide with resultant of applied operating load, excluding live load.
8 All foundations shall be placed on sealed blinding concrete on firm, undisturbed soil.
Some seal slabs, however, may be placed on well compacted earth fill, if approved by
Designer. In such cases, engineering drawings shall specify kind of fill material and
degree of compaction required for fill material. Spread footings, combined footings and
mats should be designed assuming linear soil pressure distribution.
9 Where rigidity of foundation is questionable, an analysis considering interaction between
flexibility of foundation and subgrade soil reaction should be considered. For mats
particularly, this method of analysis may be in order. ACI 336.2 R contains suggested
design procedures. Foundations shall be proportioned, so as to minimize general and
differential settlements. In order to reduce overturning moment on individual footings of
buildings and process structures, transfer of column base shears into concrete grade slab
should be considered. Frictional resistance provided by grade slab shall equal at least
1.15 times applied column base shears.
10 For design purposes, a coefficient of friction of 0.2 may be assumed between concrete
slab and membrane. If this design approach is used, grade slab thickness and joint details
shall be properly designed. Where seasonal changes in soil moisture content occur
extremely, special details may be required to minimize foundation movements. Control
of foundation movements is especially critical for masonry structures. Designer shall
determine design parameters to control such movements.
11 Stability ratio SR based on service loads for isolated spread footings shall not be less than
1.5 when determined as follows:
a SR = D (P) / 2M = D / 2e Where: D = Diameter or width of footing, P =
Minimum gravity load at bottom of footing (exclude equipment and live loads,
include buoyancy), M = Maximum overturning moment at bottom of footing, e =
Eccentricity = M / P
12 Uplift factor of safety based on service loads shall not be less than 1.25. This factor of
safety must be maintained when 70 percent of dead load is combined with no reduction
of wind load for uplift.
13 Stability ratio SR based on service loads for buildings, process structures and other
framed structures shall not be less than 1.5, when determined as follows.

a
SR = Resisting Moment / Overturning Moment, Where Resisting Moment =
Moment due to dead load of foundation and structure include buoyancy,
Overturning Moment = Moment due to lateral loads
14 Overturning and resisting moments shall be computed about most critical axis of rotation
of foundation block at soil / concrete interface. There may be more than one axis of
rotation.
a Stability ratio SR of retaining walls based on service loads shall not be less than
following.
15 For sustained loading:
a SR = Resisting Moment / Overturning Moment
b = 3.5 for cohesive soils
c = 2.0 for cohesionless material
16 For sustained loading combined with temporary loading:
a SR = Resisting Moment / Overturning Moment
b = 2.0 for cohesive soils
c = 1.5 for cohesionless material
d Where:
17 Resisting Moment = Moment due to dead load of wall and soil overburden include
buoyancy
18 Overturning Moment= Moment due to lateral loads
19 Resisting moment and overturning moment shall be taken about toe of retaining wall and
bottom of footing. For all service load conditions, sliding resistance of foundations
especially retaining walls shall at least be equal to 1.5 times applied lateral loads. Sliding
resistance shall be developed by, either friction between footing and membrane or by
passive resistance of shear keys extending below bottom of footing in case of retaining
walls.
20 In cases, where sliding resistance is developed by a combination of friction and passive
resistance, it is recommended that a minimum factor of safety 2.0 shall be provided.
Stability calculations shall include weight of foundation concrete and soil immediately
above footings. Effects of buoyancy on concrete and soil weights shall be considered.
Passive earth pressures shall not be included in stability calculations, except in design of
retaining walls with keys. In this case, only that pressure acting on key face shall be
considered. Foundation bottom level shall be defined taking into consideration
geotechnical soil report and other factors to be clearly noted on drawings. Keep standard
bottom of footing elevations, where possible. Consideration shall be given to
interferences with underground soil systems.
General
1 Region has been defined as being in an Ultra Hot Climate together with extremely heavy
concentration of chlorides in both ground and atmosphere together with high humidity
that result in rapid degradation of Reinforced Concrete structures. Degradation of
concrete is principally caused by reinforcement corrosion due to ingress of chlorides
and other aggressive salts, consequential increased volume of rust produced
commonly breaks off cover on reinforcement. Failure of R.C member then becomes
imminent. Degradation of concrete arises also, from use of salt contaminated
materials.
2 Durability and quality of concrete itself is of paramount importance. Factors to increase
durability, while designing shall be considered in concrete such as thermal insulation
coating measures as recommended in “CIRIA Guide to Concrete in Gulf Region”.
Quality of concrete is achieved by good engineering and detailing proper materials and
proportioning good construction techniques and concrete curing. One of main
characteristics influencing durability of concrete is its permeability to ingress of
chlorides, water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, windblown chloride contaminated dust

of concrete section.
2 Maximum spacing of reinforcement shall be 150 mm in any / every direction.
a Use fabric reinforcement where possible (‘nested’ where necessary) as this gives
better crack control.
b Do not bunch reinforcement or use in vertical or horizontal pairs.
c Reinforcement shall be adequately detailed to eliminate congested areas i.e. laps
to be staggered.
3 Place reinforcement nearest to surface, where it is greatest restrained length, which means
horizontal wall reinforcement shall be on outside of vertical reinforcement.
4 Ensure additional diagonal reinforcement is placed at each reentrant opening to prevent
cracks emanating from corners.

Vibration
Superstructure Vibration
1 Primary source of vibration in superstructures is harmonic unbalanced forces generated
by rotating or reciprocating equipment. Final design should be such that vibrations shall
be neither intolerable nor troublesome to personnel and not cause damage to machine or
structure or adjacent foundations, structures or services.
2 As a general rule, none of natural frequencies of structure should be within a band of
operating frequency of supported machinery. Band recommended to be avoided is 1.414
above operating frequency and 0.707 below operating frequency. To find structural
natural frequencies, a computer analysis shall be required.
3 All natural frequencies below 2 times operating frequency for reciprocating equipment
and below 1.5 times operating frequency for rotating equipment shall be calculated.
4 It shall be demonstrated that amplitudes at natural frequencies should be between 0.35
and 1.5 times operating frequency are within allowable values, even assuming that, due to
differences between actual structure and assumed model, resonance does occur. In this
case a reasonable amount of damping should be estimated.

model analysis has been conducted, a harmonic response analysis shall be performed.
Response analysis shall indicate anticipated amplitudes of vibration, velocity, and

a Maximum allowable values stated by manufacturer of equipment.

An Overview Of Downstream Onshore Processing Trains & Supporting Units / Structures-Edition 2012

b
Dynamic amplitude of any / every part of foundation including any / every
reciprocating compressor shall be less than 80 µm single amplitude (80 x 10^-
3mm).
c Effective velocity is defined as square root of average of square of velocity,
velocity being a function of time. In case of a pure sinusoidal function, effective
velocity is 0.71 times peak value of velocity.
d Depth of a steel beam supporting large open floor areas free of partitions or other
sources of damping should not be less than 1/20 of span to minimize perceptible
transient vibration due to pedestrian traffic.
8 Foundation Vibration
a The Designer shall determine which vibrating equipment is to be analyzed by
dynamic analysis.
Dynamic Analysis
1 For foundations for reciprocating machinery, centrifugal machinery and centrifugal
pumps 750 kW or over, a three dimensional dynamic analysis must be performed.
Foundation vibration generally involves a grade foundation designed to support one or
more reciprocating or rotating machines.
2 Generally same considerations for superstructure vibration also, apply to foundation
vibration.
3 Primary differences being that these foundations are often rigid blocks and that soil
behavior along with foundation must be considered. Rigid foundations supporting only
one major machine can readily be analyzed using hand calculations and concept of elastic
half space theory. For flexible foundations or foundations with many machines, a
computer analysis should be utilized along with concept of elastic half space theory.
Designer shall prepare an instruction for foundation vibration analysis, which contains
current state of art approaches, soil information, machine information, dynamic analysis
aids, published response criteria, example solutions and a comprehensive list of
references.
4 Dynamic amplitudes of any / every part of foundation including any / every reciprocating
compressor shall be less than 80 µm (80 x 10^-3 mm) single amplitude.
a For dynamic analysis, exciting forces shall be taken as maximum values that
according to Manufacturer of equipment suggestion / information shall occur
during lifetime of equipment. When exciting force is not given by Manufacturer,
it shall be determined from
b Q(kN) = [Rotor Speed (rpm)/6000] x Rotor Weight (kN)
5 Dynamic calculations shall be based on a mechanical model, wherein weights and
elasticity of both structure as well as, foundation and weight of equipment to be
represented in an appropriate way.
6 All natural frequencies below 2 times operating frequency for reciprocating equipment
and below 1.5 times operating frequency for rotating equipment shall be calculated.
7 It shall be demonstrated that amplitude of natural frequencies remains between 0.35 and
1.5 times operating frequency are within allowable values, even assuming that, due to
differences between actual structure and assumed model, resonance does occur. In this
case, a reasonable amount of damping should be estimated.
8 Natural frequency of supporting structure shall not coincide with any resonant frequency
of equipment.
9 Static deformation for rotating equipment foundations shall be calculated and shown to
be within limits stated by Manufacturer of equipment. Calculations shall include, but not
be limited to following causes of deformation.
10 Shrinkage and creep of concrete.
a Temperature effects caused by radiation and convection of heat or cold, generated
by machinery, piping and ducting.

HRW Hydraulic Study Notes Conclusions
Contractor shall consider HRW studies conclusions as given below.
1 This Technical Note has described a design review and a computational fluid dynamic
model study of proposed Plant CCWS pumping stations
2 Study has considered most recent estimates of design flow rates, comprising -------m3 /
hr from Pumping Station ------- m3 / hr from Pumping Station and ------------ m3 / hr
from Pumping Station .
3 Design flow conditions at entrance / inlet to pumping station
4 Water levels at pumping station entrance and approach flow patterns considered in
analysis took account of flow into Pumping Station. Minimum water level of -0.95m
NHD corresponds to a head loss of only 0.07m in channel. Approach flow patterns are
direct and well behaved.
5 Review of layout in relation to design guidelines etc.
6 Typical maximum approach flow velocities to bar screens are considered to be within
acceptable limits in relation to potential turbulence levels at bar screens.
7 In worst case (i.e for PH-) at maximum flow, velocity in double entry channels at drum

My Life Truths Volume II
683407261.docx-
An Overview Of Downstream Onshore Processing Trains & Supporting Units / Structures-Edition 2012

screens shall be typically 0.86m / s. This is a little high relative to HR Wallingford's


experience of other installations and it would be appropriate to confirm with relevant
screen vendors that a maximum approach velocity of some 0.8-0.9m / s is acceptable in
channels approaching drum screens.
8 In worst case, when one screen train is out of service, maximum velocity leaving screen
units shall be approximately 0.8m / s. This is considered a little high in relation to size of
fore bay area, as confirmed by CFD model. Flow modification measures e.g. Baffles or
columns are likely to be required in fore bay to ensure satisfactory flow patterns under
adverse combinations of screens and pumps in operation.
Submergence of pumps
1 Available submergence and proposed elevation for pump bay invert (-9.50m NHD) are
considered satisfactory in relation to required submergence conditions for minimization
of free surface vortices.
Overall dimensions and internal structures
1 Proposed overall layout and dimensions for screen chambers is considered satisfactory
for FEED. It would be recommended, however, that required width of each screen
chamber element should be subject to further review / detailed design during EPC -
following identification of actual screen vendor and actual screen dimensions.
2 In case of PH#, initially designed pump chamber width of 5.0m is smaller than standard
guidelines would suggest. Preliminary enquiries with pump manufacturers have indicated
that a pump chamber width of 5m would be acceptable even based upon a bell mouth
diameter of 2.7m. Taking this into account, proposed 5m width for each pump chamber is
considered satisfactory for FEED. It would be recommended, however, that required
width of each pump bay should be subject to further review / detailed design during EPC
- following final confirmation of actual pump vendor and actual bell mouth diameters.
3 Initial Design for pump bays provides for a “standardized” pump bay length of 10m,
which is satisfactory with respect to pumps for PH and PH, but short relative to standard
guidelines in case of PH#.
4 Proposed “standardized” distance from rear wall of a pump bay to pump centre line of
2.2m is in accordance with standard guidelines.
5 In general terms, splitter / benching, corner fillets and curtain wall arrangements are
considered appropriate vortex suppression devices / methods. On basis of "standard best
practice", it is considered that these features should be included in pump bays, as they
shall help serve to inhibit severe surface and sub surface vortex formations.
6 Free passage of air must be allowed at top of pump bays and other semi enclosed areas of
pumping stations.
7 Roof slab is expected to be clear of water surface, even for extreme water level / wave
conditions notwithstanding possible transient water levels in Intake Channel that might
result from pump startup or trip scenarios.
8 Possible improvements identified for testing in CFD model resulted from short pump
chambers in PH and restricted distance between drum screen chambers and pump
chambers.
Computational fluid dynamics CFD model tests
1 Simulations have been undertaken for a variety of operational conditions in planned Plant
CCWS pumping station.
2 Calculated water level at entrance to pumping station takes account of flow into Phase I
pumping station PH and intake channel model demonstrated well behaved approach flow
to PH and PH. Therefore, although pumping station computational model does not
explicitly simulate PH, simulations take account of effect of flow into PH.
3 With original design and under adverse combinations of pumps and screens in operation,
significant oblique flow with local velocities approaching 1m / s was observed in pump
fore bays. Flow in pump chambers under these conditions was asymmetric, locally

My Life Truths Volume II
683407261.docx-
An Overview Of Downstream Onshore Processing Trains & Supporting Units / Structures-Edition 2012

approaching 0.8m / s and there was rotation at pumps.


4 Revisions to the design have been proposed, in which columns are introduced at the
entrance to pump chambers to dissipate asymmetric jets. Further simulations have been
carried out to show effects on flow patterns. These show significantly improved flow
patterns in pump chambers, but there is scope for further improvement in fore bays.
5 CFD model studies indicate that overall pumping station dimensions are adequate,
subject to provision of dissipating structures described above and optimized during EPC.
Physical model study
1 To confirm and extend conclusions of CFD model study, it is recommended that a
physical model study be carried out during EPC phase. This would enable final
optimization of internal layout and confirmation of satisfactory performance under final
design operating conditions. For Physical modeling scope of work Refer to Appendix-

4 There are nowadays several methods given in industrial safety as well as, loss prevention
methods for disaster management to prevent such mishaps.
5 Present scope of this book does not allow that to elaborate, but informatively included.
Let us divide whole plant industrial area into various zones depending on defined &
expected risks. Process area, non process areas, explosive zone, secured zone,
administrative zone & environment unsafe zone etc.
Process area
1 Process area can be confined to real train’s zone, which is a pure chemical product
engineering portion comprising of all vessels involving oil & its storage.
2 This is only major potential source leading plant to major fire as well as, explosion
hazards.
3 All equipments must be made fireproof to certain extent possible. Building contained in
such zone must be made blast resistant.
4 All arrangements of fire suppression must be made. Proper arrangements must be made
for all personnel to use safety devices of all kinds, depending on nature of hazard, so that
all users wear preventive dressing / equipment.
Hot as well as cold
1 Hot as well as cold works areas are defined explicitly for purpose of preventive
adaptation as well as, for issuing permits to work within & without plant for engineering
construction works in future.
2 Safe procedure must be defined for such activities.
3 No work should be allowed, without granting such permits.
4 Lost gases or other products or bye products have potential to spread into environment air
consequently, transferring fire possibility a detailed study of that should be made to find a
resolution to adopt for suppression measures.
Non process areas
1 Non process areas should be located distant enough, say anything far up to 700 m from
real trains, so as effects are not relocated to this zone that requires only blast resilience
structures.
2 Accordingly, fire suppression & blast control provisions be applied to constructions as
well as, precautionary measures be defined for personnel.
3 Circulatory areas should be defined in between process & non process areas that cannot
be definitely delineated, but shall carry piping, traffic, roads & many other components
of plant.
4 Accordingly, provisions should be given for disaster management. Most important aspect
is control from fire everywhere for which, regular mockups should be conducted.
5 Assembly points should be clearly defined at various location that allow following fire
alarm to assemble & await further directions from wardens. Immediate medical
attendants & ambulance should be installed.
6 Piping routes must be defined respective corridors with proper fire protection & guards.
No unauthorized person should be allowed within these corridors.
Storage area
1 Storage area particularly of oil raw material must be provided full protection from firing
& explosion viewpoint.
2 This is actually a very high potential source of fire & can cause heavy losses to industry
as well as, to humans.
3 In case of fire disaster, adequately effective arrangements must be available fully all
times to vacate personnel as soon as, possible from assembly points & further off plant to
safer locations.
4 All classes of fire suppression arrangement must be kept fully functional at relevant
hazard locations clearly defined to personnel involved & competent fire fighting team
made available.

process requirements.
3 Equipment arrangement and distances between fire hazardous equipment shall be set, so
that in event of a fire, possibilities for escalation are minimized, however, within an
operational complex, it is not always feasible to achieve complete separation of
equipment. Consequently, additional precautionary measures for fire protection shall be
evaluated and submitted for Company approval.
4 This applies particularly to those areas, where a chimney effect may occur. For example,
a minor fire at a pump may affect overhead equipment, causing fire to rapidly develop.
Also, updraft associated with air cooled heat exchangers may cause fire to spread. Design
of firefighting system shall be based on assumption that no firefighting equipment and no
manpower / workforce for fighting fires from outside plant shall be available in case of a
fire.
5 A fire within plant shall be controlled or extinguished by plant fire brigade, using plant
fire engines and plant firefighting equipment and devices. Philosophy for designing fire
protection facilities is to utilize automatic systems and mobile equipment, which require a
minimum number of fire fighters.
6 Access shall be provided for firefighting particularly for equipment handling flammable
liquefied gases or flammable products at or above auto ignition temperature and seal /
luboil units of rotating equipment. Some equipment shall be protected with water spray
systems to remain in operation, until fire brigade arrives to determine appropriate method
of extinguishing attack. Quantity of water required for fire protection shall be based on
that is required to control and possibly extinguish one major fire situation at a time under
following conditions: Operation of deluge systems in zone on fire or at least 1 monitor,
Operation of deluge systems of 2 adjacent zones, if or at least 2 monitors and 2 hydrants
or 2 monitors.
7 Note: For large complex units quantity of water required for fire protection shall be based
on Fire Hazard Analysis study and QRA, which would determine “worst case scenario”.
8 Detection systems shall be installed in all relevant areas process units and buildings to
detect fire, smoke and gas. These shall where required, activate fire protection systems or
raise an alarm for action to be taken.
9 Manual call point systems of 'break glass' type shall also, be installed throughout plant in
selected positions to raise an alarm. Indication panels shall be provided in control room
and fire station to enable operators to take appropriate action and to indicate, if a fire
protection system has been activated. Audible alarms and beacons shall be installed in
process units, which would automatically actuate on leakage of gas or on outbreak of a
fire. Cables for ESD solenoid valves shall be fireproofed and preferably laid in separate
trays.
10 Passive fire protection shall be installed wherever needed on steel supports, towers,
vessels, heaters and other process equipment, when subjected to severe temperature
generated by a liquid hydrocarbon or gas fire.
11 Positive pressure shall be maintained in substations and a fire protection clean agent
system installed to protect equipment against damage due to fire. Television cameras
with monitoring systems shall be installed to overlook general plant areas enabling
operators to take appropriate action, when fire, smoke or gas is detected. Around
hydrocarbon production facilities, zones or spaces shall be defined, in which a gas cloud
with gas concentration likely to be above lower flammability limit LFL be present, when
a major gas or vapor leakage occurs. These zones are called Restricted Zones.
12 Restricted zones concept shall be used to define preventive ignition measures to be taken
into account for items of equipment located inside a restricted zone e.g. shutting down
specified electrical equipment in explosive atmospheres. Hose boxes and fire points
containing portable firefighting equipment to be located at strategic points adjacent to
hazardous areas.

Dust and Emissions


1 Most prevalent construction emission is fugitive dust, however, emissions of Carbon
mono oxide “CO” and related exhaust gases are likely to emerge from diesel generators
as well as, from activities such as onsite painting, refueling of equipment, application of
adhesives, waterproofing chemicals and incomplete combustion of fuel in construction
equipment.
2 Note that none of planned activities shall cause release of H2S gas.
3 Dust and Emissions occurrence must be controlled during construction to an acceptable
level by following controllable suggestions:
a Avoid unnecessary idling of vehicles and machinery.
b Fuel, paint and chemical containers should be kept sealed, when not directly in use.
c All vehicles and Construction Plant should be properly maintained to minimise excessive
exhaust emission.
d Where possible, engines shall be located away from work areas.
e Should problems arise, for example, defective equipment, which results in generation of
fumes, gases or odours onsite, operators would be instructed through respective SHE /
HSE Awareness Training to shut down and notify supervisors to facilitate appropriate
mitigation response.
f Dust be controlled as far as is practicable.
4 Control measures can significantly help minimise dust in most cases, apart from in case
of sand storms.
5 If a severe sand storm occurs, Site Manager should decide, if work requires to shut down.
6 After storm, roads should be cleaned. Fugitive dust emissions should be minimised by
implementing following controls:
a Water spraying.
b This shall be conducted at a frequency to keep surfaces moist.
c Treated wastewater or ground water shall be used for this purpose.
d All concerned persons shall be required to fully cover with sheeting or spray water on
open bodied trucks hauling sand, gravel or soil between onsite and offsite areas.
7 Any / Every transgressions should be immediately brought to attention of hauler
concerned by Site SHE / HSE Manager.
8 Failure to comply with this requirement shall result in offender being prevented from
accessing site.
9 If sandblasting operations are required, these operations should be located and scheduled,
so as to minimise noise and dusting effects on adjacent work areas.
10 Excavation faces not being worked should, if required, be moistened.
11 Deliveries of finely ground materials should be in bag form or stockpiled in specified
locations, where material can be suitably covered.
12 Minimum drop heights shall be used during material transfer.
13 Roads around site particularly at site entrance shall be monitored on a regular basis.
14 These shall be kept as clear from dust and dirt as is practicable.
15 Should it found to be necessary, road in vicinity of site entrance shall also, be swept.
16 Construction personnel shall be required to enter site over prepared surfaces and parked
in designated lots.
17 Should problem areas arise, which result in excessive dust generation onsite, workers
should be instructed through SHE / HSE Awareness Training to notify respective
supervisor to facilitate appropriate response.

Dear Reader,
This is a part Volume namely Volume II of My Life Truths
1 Thanks indeed for taking interest in reading above work intended to provide projects
practical information exchange to those, who aspire to develop their professional skills to
a level, making themselves more useful in professional fields fitting conveniently within
industry environment, by getting fast opportunity for learning professional aspects to
some extent.
2 Purpose of above work is to bring to young engineers, projections of necessary
operations & activities conducted by various professionals on industrial projects.
3 I am basically a civil engineer by formal education experienced on reinforced concrete
buildings & similar heavy structures in general.
4 It is certainly a fact that during earning experience in profession, one does not confine to
one’s discipline only, for multidiscipline projects are involved in profession & by virtue
of interface exposures, professional is forced to grasp some knowledge of other
disciplines, otherwise problem solving shall be near impossible.
5 This envisages every practicing engineer to accept criteria that hesitation to interact with
relative disciplines should be discarded by being ready to adapt that with full
involvement.
6 This kind of approach & conduct shall provide multi facet of coordinated knowhow
through discussions, meetings, report preparations, statement preparations, exposure to
datasheets, reading design basis, FEED documents, contract conditions etc.
7 It is also, suggested that should someone of you have certain descriptive experience on
some projects, must share that experience by documentation on web or otherwise for
transferring learning to juniors.
8 World has been changing & developing extremely, fast in science and technology forcing
us to accept facts as well as, update or face obsolete status.
9 University knowledge helps confined to understanding engineering & technology
principles, without exposing to world of real applications.
10 Students should not expect also, that type of knowledge to be imparted with by
professional teachers of engineering universities, who in fact unfortunately, have never
been exposed to virtues of profession.
11 I have seen many managers on projects who had no engineering formal degrees, but
occupied senior managers positions in particular from western nations, with having
considerable exposure & grasp as well as, capability of application in fields successfully.
12 I have done some other works on writing as follows

Civil Engineering Buildings Practice published in 1996 by CBS publishers 11 Darya Ganj,
New Delhi 110002, India
1 This book contains various aspects of building engineering from site management

viewpoint, contract administration viewpoint, design philosophy & general engineering


in field as well as, in design office
RCCBDS 2003
1 Buildings design application software based on Kani’s Rotation Contribution Method
giving calculations on excel format.
2 This application covers scope of RCC frames from 1 bay 1 storey to 5 bays 8 storey by
using links, interlinks, hyperlinks etc
3 Further volume RCCBDS 2004 & 2005 were also, commenced, but could not be
completed due to reason that engineering community did not take any interest in Kani’s
Rotation Contribution methods, however applications shall be continued later, when I
have free time in future.
Home Plans
1 I also, had worked on a volume of civil engineering home plans in decade nineties, but
unfortunately, that is still in cold box, without having affected any formal publication.
2 Also, I conceived a township project schematically in nineties that could not take off due
to lack of provision of financing by promoter.
3 In addition to aforesaid, many other useful files are available on web for practical
purposes.
4 I have also, personal interest in using date of birth numbers interpretations, using spiritual
movements within body that work is available on web, though it is not relevant to
engineering. Only educated persons can understand philosophy of this subject.
5 By this note, I conclude.
Regards & Thanks once again for your valuable time as well as, interest shown.
Hope work has been useful to you. Please write suggestions.
