Note: The purpose of this document is to help ensure that during the build up of the Level 1, Level 2 or the Level 3
schedule that the planner uses the following guidelines to help ensure that the key logic ties are not missed. The
logic ties shown below by no means provide an exhaustive list. The planner is expected to use the standard
engineering logic diagrams, procurement, s/c and construction fragnets to develop these schedules.
Use this document to identify any deviations in your specific schedule and then discuss/resolve them with your
group and Functional Planning
Engineering
Project Engineering IFA PFD'S before IFR P&ID's and IFD PFD's before IFA P&ID's
IFR MSG's before IFA P&ID's
Start of Detailed Engineering to 1st IFD Issue of P&ID's = 6+ months
IFD P&ID Issue = Level 2 calcs complete + Major Eq awarded + 30% model review complete;
Last P&ID IFD to Last P&ID IFC = 5+ Months
PD&P Critical VP's before 50% Model Review; Code 2 VP's before IFC P&ID's & 90% Model Review
Note: Code 2 VP's may be required for key equipment pieces before 50% model review (Project decision)
1st 50% Model Review = 1st IFD issue of P&ID'S + 2 weeks (minimum)
1st 90% Model Review = 1st IFC issue of P&ID's + 2 weeks (minimum)
1st Iso = 1st 90% model+2 weeks (minimum)
Guideline : A/G Iso duration (for each process unit & utility block - start with assumption of Isos
averaging roughly 200/week for LNG facility; 500/week for refinery;
Pipe Specialty Items - Add appropriate activities for Specialty Data Sheet Preparation - Start tied to
IFD issue of P&ID's + 1 Week
CSA
Geo Tech Report Start of Geotech investigation to draft report - 4months + 2 months for final report; total 6 months.
Foundations 1st IFC Foundation = Area Equipment Location plan (IFC) & Area 50% model Review
= Stress Loads from PDP; + VP's for Anchor Bolt Locations + weight, overturning moment info
Overall One Line Diag (IFD) = IFD Electrical Load List + 2 Weeks &
= IFD P&ID's + 2 Weeks
Power Transformer D/S IFA 4wks after Overall One Line Diag. IFA
MRQ 4wks from Xfmr D/S IFA
Controls Systems 1st Location plan IFC= 1st 90% Model+ 4 weeks
Last location plan IFC= last 90% + 4 weeks
Wiring Loop Diagrams=DCS FAT Complete+1 Month (minimum)
Procurement
Piling Procurement Piling MRQ = Final Geotech Report + Pile Capacity Dwgs + IFD quality MTO's
Pipe Fab 1st release for Fab of spools = 1st ISO IFC
1st Start of Spool Fab = IFC Iso's + Material @ Fab shop + 1 Month
1st delivery of spools = either IFC Iso's + 5 Months or Material to Fab Shop + 5 Months (whichever is later)
Final delivery of spools = last ISO IFC + 6mnths
Note: Shorter lead times for fab and delivery will require analysis
Construction:
Piling Piling start = 1 Month after piles IFC + 3 months after start of site prep (min)
Pile Fab = 2 months before piling start for concrete piling; for steel piling procure as pipe & follow std procurement cycle
Piling contract BEA = 3 months before pile fab
Camp Construction Carry out craft bed requirement to provide camp build up schedule
Develop EPC schedule as part of Early Works (This activity may lie on the critical path)
Concrete Start = Later of 3mnths after 1st Concrete IFC (duration 18mnths) or w/UG Pipe
= + Rebar detailing drawings; + anchor bolt availability; + batch plant with mix design
U/G Pipe Start 2 weeks after U/G IFC; + U/G Pipe fab & delivery
Allow 12 to 14 months for the U/G program for 24-30 month construction program.
Steel Allow 5+ months from IFC drawing issue; 1+ months from material delivery; 3+ months from start of 1st concrete;
Start Later of 5mnths after 1st IFC or 4 mnths after 1st Concrete (duration 18 mnths)
Resolve fireprooging sequence (i.e. before installation or after installation)
Mech. Eqpt. Start Set Mech. Eqpt. - 4 months after 1st Concrete
Finish 6 months after last major eqpt. Delivery on site.
A/G Pipe Area wise activity -Start to start with either rack erection or eq installation activity - minimum 2 month lag
after roughly 70% of pipe for the area is delivered;
Control Room Ensure Control Room HVAC and Raised floors are ready before DCS is delivered to the site.
=+ ensure power and fiber optic backbone are available
Heavy Lift Start is dependant on a firm plan for the delivery of first and last heavy lift equipment delivery
And availability of the Heavy Haul Road, and Heavy Lift cranes and multiaxle transport vehicles
Finish is Delivery of Last Heavy Lift equipment +2 weeks (minimum)
Field Erected Tanks Start is 4 mnths after 1st Conc. (duration 11mnths)
Lube Oil Flushing Show appropriate duration for oil flushing, + temp power
Precommissioning Plan on using temp power to do precommissioning for low voltage loads
For Medium and High Voltage loads - will require permanent power
Pre-commissioning Utilities = Permanent Power + 2mnths
Energization=Utilities pre-commissioning + 2 months
Steam Blows/Chemical Cleaning
Identify whether these activities will be done before system T/O or after System T/O then add these activities accordingly
