Delivery of spools

 The productivity is less specially in the night shift. I have gone through the details of
Khusevera piping. With the contractual delivery dates, we are required to produce 1100 inch
diameter every day. This is bit challenging considering the size of our covered area and
number of resources. But it is not impossible to achieve. With proper execution system, it
can be achieved.

 I see that we are yet to start dispatching spool to site. Many spools completed the
fabrication but not yet painted because the RT is not done. (What about RT in the night
shift). This bunker issues we need to kill immediately. At the peak time when we do 1100
inchdia every day, the number of joint will be in range of 250-300. This will require RT on
24X7 basis to keep the workflow. One Bunker may not be sufficient and we may need to
have two locations. I am yet to understand how the local authorities behave here
(Zonescopr) but this items were very easy in Saudi Arabia. As long the radiation is not going
outside our premises, royal commission has not issue. For the temporary bunker made of
concrete blocks, no permission is required. (Send them pictures). One of options is use srape
containers and fill them with sand and this will create an isolocated area for the RT. These
are piping joints so there is no panoramic exposure here and they can use collimiter to
reduce the radiation disbution in surrondings.

 I have seen the drawings and it is complete precast. But there is another one meter by one
meter individual concrete blocks you can reorganize when we want.

Blasting and Painting

I spoke to the Samer yesterday. What he says that if you are an old company I might more time
but your new and your approval levels are under construction. So that make this more serious.

I proposed him that we do blasting and painting it. Garnet will settle down and no air pollution.
He says that there are some regulations we need to have extraction system in place. Without it
we can not perform blasting even in the enclosed area. I explained that we will do that but
please allow to continue in the meantime. He suggested that we need to come up with firm
dates of our actions and propse with him and his manager. He says that four months his
manager will not accept so it has to be reduced. There are some local company available with
less delivery time.

So we need to finalize it and we need to meet with them.

Manpower Reinforcement

Some areas we need reinforcement. On priority basis, we need one experienced production
engineer at the shop floor. There is one junior engineer Mr. Bhaves but his exposure is very
limited and it may some time for him to develop. There is one good engineer who worked with
me in BIlfal. He was also associated with our shoar facility in the projects. For about one and half
year. We have one massive project of Saudi Aramco fadhli where we needed to supply twelve
units of waste heat boilers package. This package as huge with boiler 100 plus thick with 1300
tubes and one side combustion chamerber and other side superheater and top side steam
drums 70 plus thik. So I put him incharge of this project he did pretty well along with other
team. He has earlier worked with thermax for seven year and LT as well. He is available in India
at present. I request you if can proceed in his case it will be helpful. I will send you his CV.

Along with this, I will also send you two more CV for your review. There is one planning engineer
Pillai and other senior QC aslam. There have good expoures. Pilli worked in Bilfal for five years
and he was the planning engineer for the same project. Aslam has good exposure in thermanx
and two years in Bilfa. Good this with Aslam is that he is practical, he works with production and
at the sime time he makes sure we comply with requirements. I am yet to see that but there we
need strong QC guys in front of Aramco. Other they will bring so may hurdels and we can nto
work. These two have already offer with them from Saudi company. They may opt join us
because of me.

I met with Gafoor & he was concerned about plan versus actual. He requested to increase the
manpower and inch diameter as well. I will visit the Sharjah petrofac office and meet two senior
person. Roman Shah and Jitendra. I want to make sure when I meet them, I have concere steps
of actions which I can present with them.

This is our first project with ADNOC and our entry with them. We must not give them any wrong
impression.
Autospool Plant & welding activities

It is mainly utilized for cutting/beveling and filling. The root pass is carried out manually. I seen
this type of machine prudcing root pass satisfact without any issues.

Another solution is orbital welding machines for small size like 2 and 4 inch.

The welding is root pass is not done by machine.

GMAW welding. Aramco permit use of modified version of GMAW for the root pass. That is
much faster than gtaw. But it requires good welders. The predominant defect in GMAW is lack of
fusion because of its less heat input. This welder has to control other wise it will generate lot of
reapir in RT.

General Issues

We are only qualified upto 35 mm with adnoc and we need to increase it upto 70 mm

In piping fabrications, it is very imperative that we keep synchronize output of different


processes. Cutting/Bevelling, fit-up, welding, ndt and painting. Each of process should be slightly
faster than its successor. This way to ensure that there is always work front available and nobody
remains idle. Morever, there is pressure already. This all starts with maerial issuance.

Overlap in time

We need to prudction about 1000 inch dia every day. This is bit challngeing considering our size.
I did one produject for Aramco gas transporation pipeline. There we had the same target of
1000 inch dia every day. We have achived it. We just need to have proper system set up and it
will move on. Once it is done all will move.
