GENERAL
The Contractor shall check the functionality of the 3D-CAD features as agreed with the
Owner. The model shall be checked against the latest approved revision of the P&ID and
equipment layout drawings.
Process design data stated in the P&ID shall be checked prior to formal model review.
However if the model review found other more feasible and economical solutions without
jeopardising the design functionality or safety, the Project Manager shall be informed for
further assessment (e.g. HAZOP) of the proposed change(s). If the proposed change is agreed
to be implemented, then the P&ID shall be made consistent with 3D-CAD model.
The review checklists as listed in Appendix III and Appendix IV shall be used for FEED and
detailed engineering stages respectively.
The 3D model review shall be carried out at the 30%, 60% and 90% of 3D model development
during detailed engineering phase. Model review and the stages during FEED phase shall be
agreed in advance by the Owner depending on the size of the project.
All piping systems, equipment and instrumentation that have been checked and accepted at
each review stage shall be marked on the P&ID for tracking purposes.
Any point that has not been accepted shall be tagged and recorded for rectification by the
Contractor and subject to further review during follow-up checks.
When a modification is proposed the review team shall ensure it suits its purpose, not in
conflict with other requirements, practical, safe, in accordance with the P&ID and cost
effective. The team shall consult the appropriate specialists of other disciplines if necessary.
The checklists in Appendix V should be used during the overall 3D model review. However,
Contractor shall note that the checklist is not exhaustive and shall not overrule sound
judgement.
The following disciplines from the Contractor and Owner should be represented during the
formal model review as applicable. The Contractor representatives shall be qualified and
experienced on the respective project for the model review.

valves that need frequent attention (C-1) as per valve criticality
assessment easily accessible?
7 Check for valves in vertical pipes which may accumulate liquid (e.g. water
or condensate).

PTS 12.03.01
Page 34 of 38
8 Check that control valve assemblies are located at ground level or on the

repair? This is required when multiple furnaces are connected to a
common flue gas duct and one of the furnaces is required to continue to
operate.
J VESSELS AND COLUMNS
1 Check for unnecessary dedicated drain piping (e.g. where draining a
vessel or column to grade can be done via existing piping such as drains
of pumps).
2 Check that manholes are within reach of hoisting equipment? Ensure
proper space on platforms for turning the manhole covers and for
entering equipment.
3 Are instrument tappings and local instruments and level glasses readily
accessible? Note that a levelglass on a vessel or column actually may
protrude 500 mm into the platform area and thus form an unacceptable
obstruction.

transmitters, are not obstructing a walkway of a platform around a
column.
5 Has insulation for personnel protection been provided? Check especially
hot vapour and product pipes which can be easily touched from

to.
9 Check that the barometric seals of vacuum equipment are at the specified
height. This also applies for relative elevations of vessels belonging to a
vacuum system.
10 For columns with structured packing, ensure there are utility connection
point nearby the manholes.
K RELIEF SYSTEMS:FLARE AND VENT SYSTEMS
1 Flare pipes shall have no pockets and shall slope continuously to the flare
knock-out drum.
2 If a platform is installed for spading a part of the flare pipe whilst the main
flare pipe is still in use, ensure that there is enough space to do the work.
Check that there is a proper escape way from this platform.
3 Check that inlet pipes to relief valves are provided with drain connection.
4 Check that outlet pipes from relief valves are self-draining into the flare
header. An exception may be made for liquid (e.g. DN 20  DN 25) thermal
relief valves which do not need to be self-draining on both sides if the

PTS 12.03.01
Page 37 of 38
pipes would become too long. Check that connections are made on top
or 45deg perpendicular to the flare header.
5 Ensure that process relief valves and process thermal relief valves are not
routed to grade. They should end in a closed system.
6 Check the accessibility of relief valves sets for maintenance and
inspection. Have relief valves been installed at proper elevations relative
to the flare header? All relief valves should be accessible for removal (by
hoisting equipment if necessary).
7 Is safety/relief valve piping as short as possible when discharging into a
closed system?
8 Check relief valves discharging to atmosphere for safe location and
direction. Ensure that hot equipment is not located below discharge
points to the atmosphere if any hydrocarbons can be released. For a
waste gas seal vessel, pay special attention to this check.
9 Can relief valves be blocked-in and drained?
10 Check relief valve outlet pipe arrangements such that supports can be
provided to cope with reaction forces.
11 Is reactor vent gas safely routed during a regeneration?
12 Is the distance from the flame arrestor to the vent outlet as specified?
13 Ensure that flame arrestors in pipes to the atmosphere can be accessed
for removal and maintenance.
14 Check that the spindles of flare main block valves, if gate valves, are in a
horizontal position. This prevents a blocked flare pipe if the wedge should
fall down.
L OIL MOVEMENTS
1 In addition to the above checkpoints, the following shall apply for oil
movement installations.
2 Has the tankfarm been designed in accordance with the agreed
specifications, inclusive of separation distances and bund holding
capacity?
3 LPG storage: are safety requirements fulfilled, including distances, valves,
piping, pressure relief provisions, and civil aspects?
4 Tank farms: is the layout logical in relation to battery limits, pipe tracks,
blending and loading area?
5 Check that storage tanks are laid out maximum two “tanks-deep” and
that at least 2 sides are accessible for fire fighting. Dead end road in
between tanks are not allowed.
6 Are tanks and bund areas accessible for firefighting equipment?
7 Are tanks draining to an environmentally acceptable system?
8 Storage tanks with a blanketing system: is layout adequate, including its
vapour routing?
9 Check that piping to/from any tank is not routed through another tank’s
bunded area.
10 Vapour recovery systems: consider layout and maintenance aspects.
11 Jetties: are adequate working envelopes provided for hoses and loading
arms and is the width of the jetty sufficient for the required equipment?
12 For tank farms and pipe tracks: can rainwater and spilled oil be drained
adequately?

M ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKS
1 Check if any process liquid drained from equipment can be handled in an
environmentally acceptable manner, in line with general approach of
closed loops for liquid draining or vents. If required install funnels to the
oil collecting system.
2 Check drainage from pump casings and pump strainers.
3 Check drainage from process filters and coalescers.
4 Check drainage from fuel filters of furnaces.
5 Are drains from sample points of plants and storage tanks minimised by,
for example, closed loops?
6 Check drainage from instruments in analyser houses.
7 Check drainage from heat exchangers when opened for bundle cleaning
or repairs. Consider also the effect of liquid spillage when opening both
heads as well as when pulling the bundle.
8 Check drainage of sour or spent seal and lube oils from compressors.
9 Check drainage from pipes at the battery limit prior to spading the unit.
10 Check vent to atmosphere from an analyser house.
11 Check that liquid collected in an open oil are routed into collecting pit for
recovery and treatment.
12 Check that ground water testwell to test for pollution are located at
various locations in the plant.
13 Check where vents of seal chambers of reciprocating compressors are
routed to.
14 Check that unloading and storage of chemicals, additives, caustic,
ammonia etc. can be carried out without environmental impact.
15 Check that the distance around plants is in accordance with any local
regulations, including noise limitations.
