2.1.4 Communications Procedures


Communications between TCC and Owner may be in the following forms:
 Meetings All meetings between Owner and TCC will be attended by TCC
and Owner project managers.

Proposal for Engineering Design and Construction Service of AHG ASU Project in YANBU, KSA

CHINA TIANCHEN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING CORPORATION
Address: No. 521, Jingjin Road, Tianjin, China

 Letters / faxes Letters and faxes shall be addressed to / from the


Owner and TCC project managers and will be numbered sequentially by
the source organization. The secretary of the receiving organization will
confirm that a complete sequence of numbers has been received.
 E-mails In order to promote effective working relationships,
E-mails of a wholly administrative or technical clarification nature may be
sent by senior TCC project team personnel directly to the required
recipient. However, all such E-mails must be copied to the TCC and Owner
project managers.
 Transmittals All drawings, documents and specifications issued
from TCC must be sent under cover of a formal transmittal listing all the
documents, their status and the action to be taken by the recipient.
Transmittals will be numbered sequentially.
 Verbal Again in order to promote good working
relationships, telephone and face to face communications between TCC
and Owner personnel will be encouraged. However, any significant issues
arising out of these discussions must be confirmed in writing, since verbal
agreements will have no standing.
2.1.5 Project Schedule Control
(1) General
The key Milestones shall be identified and achieved by both parties.
TCC will use the P3 or Microsoft Project system as the planning and progress
control tool for the Project. This software provides the simulation and Critical Path
Method (CPM) features required for effective project control, and can be integrated
with the work management and cost control system.
Three levels of planning will be utilized for project:
 Level 1: Mile Stone Schedule
 Level 2: Project Master Schedule
 Level 3: Task / Activity Schedule
The level 1 Schedule will be utilized for overall project management reporting to
Owner and TCC management and will show the major milestones and rolled-up
summary activities for Engineering, Procurement and Construction activities.
The level 2 Project Master Schedule covers the overall project from detail, engineer
and procurement through to mechanical completion and acceptance. It details

Proposal for Engineering Design and Construction Service of AHG ASU Project in YANBU, KSA
5
CHINA TIANCHEN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING CORPORATION
Address: No. 521, Jingjin Road, Tianjin, China

major activities, grouped by discipline or account code within a defined area. It is


the basis for all other detailed schedules and is utilized project monitoring and
reporting.
Level 3 Task / Activity Schedules include detailed planning and control schedules,
including:
 Detailed bar charts for critical or complex activities
 sub-contract status reports
 Document registers
 Task lists
 Construction Progress charts
 Etc.
The Critical Path Method (CPM) will be used to control the project. TCC’s
Engineering, Procurement and Construction management teams will also use a
weekly “look ahead” scheduling system. This system tracks daily work activities
and feeds essential data into the master CPM schedule for periodic update.
Actual progress of all design procurement and construction activities will be plotted
against the project schedule so variances are promptly noted and corrective
measures can be implemented. Critical Path Methodology (CPM) will be employed
to track those items that have the greatest affect on project completion. By
focusing on critical activities the potential for delay interruption or ineffective
coordination between contractor workforces at the job-site is significantly reduced.
S-curves of planned, actual and forecast progress will be prepared for engineering,
procurement and construction activities and summarized for the overall project.
(2) Engineering
Based on the Overall Master Schedule the Detailed Engineering Schedule will be
developed by TCC’s Engineering Group. The detailed schedule will be in the form
of Deliverables Schedules indicating planned, forecast and actual issue dates for
engineering drawings, specifications and documentation. Each deliverable or
group of deliverables will be assigned a weighting based on the man hours
required to carry out the task, together with percentage progress milestones for
intermediate issues stages in order to allow engineering progress to be measured
and reported on an earned value basis. TCC will update the Deliverables
Schedules on a weekly basis to enable actual progress to be determined.
(3) Sub-Contracts

Proposal for Engineering Design and Construction Service of AHG ASU Project in YANBU, KSA
6
CHINA TIANCHEN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING CORPORATION
Address: No. 521, Jingjin Road, Tianjin, China

The procedure for progress measurement for sub-contracts is essentially the same
as for procurement in the pre-award phase.
(4) Construction
The Overall Master Schedule for Construction activities will be updated prior to
mobilization to site using the latest estimate, sub-contractor schedules, material
control chart, drawings and other available engineering data. It is reviewed and
approved by the Project Manager, the Construction Manager and Owner
representative prior to the start of field construction activities.
Following award of the sub-contract, the contractor will be required to prepare a
detailed schedule for their scope of work for review and approval by TCC. This will
include detailed bar charts, S-curves, manpower histograms, progress charts and
daily schedules.
 Progress Chart
A progress chart consisting of data tables and a progress graph, segregated by
summary level accounts will be developed as construction proceeds.
TCC will report progress achievement information on the summary progress
report. From this information, planned, forecast and actual progress is
calculated, tabulated on the progress data chart, and plotted on a progress
graph. This information will be available to Owner.
 Daily Scheduling
Since the master schedule usually is not in enough detail to provide a daily
work plan, a detailed construction schedule is prepared and updated in the
field, adopting the logic and order of precedence for construction activities from
the master schedule.
The detailed schedule is designed to interface with a variety of commercially
available scheduling programs. By downloading the construction activities from
the master schedule, any level of detail required for efficient project control can
be displayed such as drawing numbers, equipment item numbers, work area
locations, crew information, etc.
This system provides a stand-alone construction schedule, with subsequent
capability for the generation of daily or weekly look-ahead schedules. Since
logic connections are not required, the program allows input of start and finish
dates with comments directly from the Construction Manager’s work plan. The
program’s database structure is listed below.

 Remarks / Comments
A look-ahead schedule is prepared on a periodic basis, usually weekly, always
projecting forward to the next upcoming time period.
Weekly field scheduling review meeting(s) are normally held at job-site. The
meetings can be held more frequently if project requirements dictate. Attendees
usually include representatives from engineering, purchasing and material control,
field supervision, and any subcontractor representatives.
At the meeting the current period’s schedule is discussed and the previous week’s
schedule reviewed. Comments and decisions made at the meeting are
incorporated into the schedule update for the period. The look-ahead schedule is
incorporated as part of the weekly report.
2.1.6 Change Control
Design change control procedure will be used as change control.
2.1.7 Document Control
Document control procedure is utilized for document control.
2.1.8 Project Reporting
Scheduling, Controlling and Reporting procedure will be executed in the project.
2.1.9 Finance and Accounting
The project controls system can provide commitment-based accounting. For
example, as soon as any purchase order is written for the project, the commitment
to spend is recorded tracked back to the relevant line item category in the project
construction plan. The commitment record is updated each week so that the status
of expenditures is always known and they can be tracked and compared

Knowledge gained through previous activities, resource studies, engineering
studies, and other relevant project evaluations will provide the basis for periodic
assessment of the potential magnitude and likelihood of the occurrence of identified
hazards.
Hazard assessments will be conducted using the Risk Assessment Matrix (RAM) to
determine the level of risks, which can be summarized as:
 Intolerable
 Incorporate risk reduction measures
 Improve through HSE MS procedures
Using the RAM, the worst case consequences of each identified hazard will be
assessed and a rank assigned. Effects are characterized as representing high,
medium, or low risk or severity of consequences.

4.8.2 Hazard and Effects Management Process (HEMP)


HEMP is the primary tool used to identify hazards and classify their effects when
released. The risk classification is then used to prioritise resource allocation to
prevent the release of the hazard or mitigate its potential consequences. The HEMP
process may guide the development of JHAs, Procedures, Special Training or other
control measures.
This will be detailed in the TCC Site Risk Management procedure.

5.5 STATEMENT OF METHODOLOGY OF CHEMICAL CLEANING

The oil avoidance pipeline such as oxygen pipeline and its other components must
be subject to degreasing prior to system test.
5.5.1 Requirement to cleaning agent
Determine the type of cleaning agent according to integrated condition of plant
process characteristics, cleaning volume, type of cleaning, pipe diameter, pipe
fitting process, etc. The principle is as follows:
1) For scrubbing method: Carbon tetrachloride or PCE
2) For soaking method: Carbon tetrachloride or PCE
3) For circulation cleaning: Carbon tetrachloride
5.5.2 Construction procedure
In principle, carry out the chemical cleaning upon process system (except for large
diameter pipe that is subject to scrubbing cleaning along with the prefabrication), in
the following procedure:
1. preparation of technology, machinery and chemicals, → 2. pipeline interim hand
over after erection, → 3. dismantling parts to be cleaned, → 4. cleaning
classification, → 5. scrubbing cleaning of large diameter pipe spool or vessel, → 6.
equipment attachment, E/I parts soaking, → 7. mini diameter pipeline circulation
cleaning, → 8. nitrogen purging of the cleaning parts, → 9. cleaning part ultraviolet
inspection , → 10. wrapping cleaning parts by plastic sheet for installation, → 11.
reinstalling the dismantled parts, → 12. system pneumatic test
5.5.3 Cleaning classification and key points
1) The prefabricated pipe spool more than DN100 shall be manually scrubbed.
a) The prefabricated and erected pipe spool shall be dismantled for cleaning. The
equipment shall be scrubbed after installation. The instrument shall be scrubbed
prior to installation.
b) Contain the cleaning chemicals in plastic basin or barrel, scrub the internal surface
of pipeline, equipment and instrument with brush, grease free clothe or silk clothe,
long pipe spool may be scrubbed by come-and-go pulling the rag bound with clean
wire (galvanized wire)
c) The cleaned parts shall be placed in clean area and exposed to natural air drying.
d) The cleaned parts shall be subject to degreasing quality inspection with black light
lamp. The acceptable one shall be sealed on the opening with clean plastic sheet.
After cleaning, all the nozzles of equipment must be sealed with plastic sheet for
installation.

2) The valves and accessories shall be cleaned by soaking method.


a) The valve shall be broken down for degreasing cleaning.
b) The above parts shall be primarily degreasing cleaned by 55℃~80℃ mixture of
metal detergent and water, and flushed to clean by clear water, then blown by
purging air for further cleaning.
c) Put certain dosage of solvent into the plastic basin, place the valve parts into the
solvent for soaking for 30 minutes, turn over the soaked parts at any time for good
degreasing effect.
d) The un-broken down instrument parts or mini equipment shall be filled with mixture
of water and metal detergent for cleaning prior to solvent cleaning, flush them to
clean with clear water and blown with purging air, then, fill in the cleaning solvent.
e) For the filling-in soaking, maintain 30 minutes soaking duration and blow parts to
dry by purging air after spilling out the solvent and subject parts to quality inspection
with black light lamp.
f) The acceptable cleaned parts shall be wrapped with plastic sheet and try to re-
assemble the broken down parts as practical as possible.
3) Mini type pipeline cleaning procedure
a) The process pipeline smaller than DN15 could be degreased by air compression
circulating method on site.
b) This type of pipeline is better cleaned as material prior to prefabrication and
erection, or, the erected pipeline can be cleaned in such way that, connecting the
pipeline to solvent tank through hose connected to both ends of the pipe for site
cleaning. Manufacture the solvent pressure tank with surplus DN150~300 stainless
steel, connect the hose with the site air compressor or plant existing instrument air,
fill cleaning solvent to the tank to its 2/3 voltage. Degrease the pipe by pressurizing
the tank by air with 0.3~0.5MPa to have the solvent spraying inside the pipe through
the hose. The other end of the cleaned pipe is connected to the solvent barrel (or
basin) for recovery.
c) After cleaning the pipe end shall be sealed with plastic sheet for erection.
5.5.4 Quality standard
5.5.4.1 Cleaning quality inspection standard
1) Irradiate the degreased part surface with wave length 3200~3800 Å ultraviolet(black
light) and observe with eyes, the result free of fluorescent indication is regarded
acceptable.
2) When ultraviolet inspection is not suitable, scrub the cleaned part surface with clean
white filter paper, free of grease and dirt is acceptable.

3) When the above mentioned methods are not practical, sample the solvent having
been subjected to parts cleaning for grease analysis, the result that grease content
in the sample is less than 350mg/l is acceptable.
5.5.4.2 Pipeline restoration after cleaning:
1) While pipeline restoration, ensure the on line valve, special part and medium in
same flow direction, the valve operation position shall comply with design
requirement.
2) The pipe supports and hangers, instrument temperature and pressure detecting
elements, fasteners, and sealing elements shall be completely restored in required
system tightness condition without any omit.
5.5.5 Finished product protection
1) No matter what type of cleaning method adopted, performance of pipeline
dismantling or connecting temporary circulation cleaning hose shall not change the
original shape of the pipeline.
2) Temperature and pressure detecting elements, instrument and instrument control
valve on the pipeline must be dismantled and restored by instrument workers.
3) The dismantled parts of the pipeline, no matter to be cleaned or not, shall be in
proper custody for avoidance of damage, loss or contamination.
4) After pipeline cleaning, the pipeline parts shall be duly and cleanly restored; the
parts or openings that are not to be restored on that day must be wrapped or sealed
