1.0 SCOPE OF THE SPECIFICATION
1.1 Introduction
1.1.1 This specification covers the minimum requirements for the design, inspection and testing for workshops in
oil fields and associated petrochemical installations.
It does not cover detailed requirements for electrical and instrumentation workshops. Neither does it cover
any aspect of telecomms, electronic, piping fabrication or vehicle workshops. In addition, it does not
provide detailed advice or guidance on any aspect of maintenance engineering itself.
It is not a definitive, technical, contract specification, but is intended to serve as a briefing document for the
Owner and Vendor/Contractor, to set the standards to be implemented for building function, construction
and ease of maintenance. Its scope is limited to functional, planning and construction criteria for the
building envelope and its components.
1.1.2 The intent of the document is:
To provide Owners and Vendor/Contractors with clear design guidelines for the building envelope,
components and finishes and to ensure that these are co-ordinated with the functional needs of mechanical
(air-conditioning, water services and drainage), electrical, telecomms and instrumentation services.
To ensure that submitted designs for workshops shall be appropriate, and that they conform to
recommended good practice with regard to the safety and functional requirements of the industry.
To standardise design, by providing comprehensive recommendations and requirements within a single

document.
To set benchmark standards for both building function and construction, and to provide the framework for
cost-control to be implemented.
To give guidance which takes into account the climatic conditions and general methods of construction
prevailing and which allows the use of construction technology requiring the minimum importation of
overseas building materials and components.
1.1.3 Although electrical, mechanical, instrumentation and safety requirements are discussed in the text,
Vendor/Contractors must also refer to and conform to the requirements of the specialist specifications
covering these matters in detail.
1.1.4 Any items not specifically covered in this specification shall be designed and engineered in accordance
with good engineering practice.
1.1.5 The Vendor/Contractor shall fully comply with the provision laid down in the specification. Any exception
shall be authorised in writing by the Owner.
1.1.6 In the event of conflict between this specification and any applicable codes and standards, the
Vendor/Contractor shall inform the Owner in writing and receive written clarification before proceeding
with the work.
1.1.7 This General Engineering Specification shall form part of the Purchase Order/Contract.

3.2 Accommodation and Location
It is assumed that any central maintenance workshop would be adjacent to a main warehouse facility and
other specialist workshops for electrical instrumentation, electronics, telecomms, vehicle maintenance, etc.
Indicative layouts are contained in Figures 1, 2 & 3 at the end of this document, which show an
arrangement for a steel, portal frame shed housing the main machine shop and general storage area, with
ancillary functions housed in a single storey extension along one side of the main shed. This would be
supplemented by separate, external refuse storage, inflammable goods store and welding shed.
The primary factors affecting the design are:
(a) The arrangements made for vehicle access both within and without the building envelope. This
requires large areas both for vehicle circulation and for external storage and working areas. Some
of these external functions may be combined with the support areas for the central warehouse
facility.
Vehicle access and circulation areas shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the
standards set out in GES Q.06.
(b) The layout of the machine shop and its auxiliary functions, with associated problems of dealing
with heavy floor loads from machine tools and axle/wheel loads from vehicles etc. and allowing
for load handling machinery over the full area of the shop floor.
3.3 Schedule of Accommodation
The schedule set out below, together with the layouts shown, are indicative only. In addition, the machine
shop layout has been based on a typical schedule of machine tools associated with
Rev 0 1999
mechanical maintenance and repair. A document store has been included, to house the substantial quantity
of data manuals, drawings, preventive maintenance records etc. Actual requirements will vary from site to
site according to specific Owner requirements:
3.3.1 Main Accommodation
Machine Shop - 600 m2

Main Office - 18.5 m2
General Storage Area - 150 m2
Document Store - 18.5 m2

Instrumentation Workshop - 37 m2
Tea Room - 18.5 m2
Staff toilets and locker room - 37 m2
Air Compressor room - 9 m2
Cleaner’s Store - 9 m2
3.3.2 Ancillary and External Accommodation
Refuse Store sized to suit

Swarf Storage sized to suit
Inflammable Goods Store sized to suit
External Wash-down area sized to suit
External Welding Shed sized to suit large items and piping
Sand Blasting and Spray Paint Areas - as per Owner requirements.
3.4 Notes on Accommodation
3.4.1 Machine Shop
The machine shop is indicated as being divided into six basic areas:
- unloading/inspection/strip-down;
- machine tool area;
- work bench areas;
- holding/despatch;
- heavy Lift Area;
- welding/brazing/forge area.
Nearly all goods entering the machine shops will consist of heavy loads requiring specialist lifting
machinery, either in the form of fork lift trucks and/or overhead travelling cranes and hoists. It is
recommended therefore, that the whole area of the machine shop floor is covered by overhead crane as
shown in Figure 1. Allowance shall also be made for vehicles of up to 15 m length to enter the shop to be
both loaded and unloaded. Allowance shall also be made for dirty goods to be unloaded externally, where
they may be washed down prior to being brought into the workshop.
The circulation pattern is based upon goods being delivered and unloaded adjacent to the main goods
entrance, where they shall be logged and inspected, prior to being allocated to a specific work schedule.
Sufficient space shall be provided for a holding area for goods awaiting work and where machinery may be
stripped down or dismantled.
Rev 0 1999
From the holding area, machinery or components shall be allocated to specific machine tools and/or
workbenches, to be worked on by hand, or to the welding/brazing/forge area. General points to note
include:
(a) Machine tools often weigh several tonnes, and may require separate foundations, structurally
discontinuous from the floor slab. Vendor/Contractors shall confirm any such requirement at design
development stage.
(b) Design proposals shall contain full details of power and other services required for individual machine
tools. These shall include information on space requirements around machines.
(c) Design proposals shall indicate allowances for future planning and include items such as spare ducts
and conduits, which may require to be built into floor slabs.
(d) Maximum use shall be made of blank areas of perimeter wall to accommodate workbenches, storage
racks and utilities, such as compressed air, power and water.
(e) Allowance shall be made for services, components and machine tools, to be clear of contact with lifting
machinery.
(f) Where conditions permit, most welding operations shall be carried out in an external, open-sided shed.
Figure 3 indicates a separate welding shop. However, certain welding operations, for operational and
technical reasons, can only be carried out within a sheltered and properly equipped workshop.
(g) Adequate working space allowances shall be made for workshop equipment and convenient storage for
machine tool components, such as drill bits, cutting tools, saw blades etc., as close to the machines as is
practical. (See 3.4.2 below for machine tool space requirements.)
(h) Welding and brazing gases shall be stored externally.
(i) Where degreasing is carried out using trichloroethylene, or similar solvents, the degreasing tank shall be
placed adjacent to an external wall, and provided with a vent hood. Only solvents sufficient for
immediate use shall be brought into the working area.
(j) Allow for the separate collection of swarf and other waste metals, which are extremely hazardous, both
to men and machines and to vehicle tyres. All machine tools and benches shall be provided with
collection bins.
3.4.2 Machine tool Space Requirements
Machine tools require adequate working space around them. Design proposals shall give clear
demonstration that this has been incorporated. The following list indicates the space requirements for a
range of typical machine tools:
Machining Centre 6.0 x 4.0 m

Jig Boring & Milling Machine 3.0 x 3.0 m
Turret Drill 2.6 x 3.2 m
Surface Grinding Machine 2.6 x 2.2 m
Capstan Lathe 3.0 x 4.0 m
Bar and Billet Shears 2.5 x 3.0 m
Press Brake 3.0 x 6.0 m
Engraver 2.2 x 3.0 m
Rev 0 1999
Die Sinker 1.8 x 2.2 m

Welding Plant 2.8 x 2.5 m
Tool Grinder 1.1 x 1.2 m
Shaper 1.7 x 2.1 m
Power Hack Saw 4.0 x 1.2 m
Punch Press 1.5 x 1.3 m
Workbench 2.9 x 1.9 m
3.4.3 Cleaner’s Store
Adequate facilities for cleaning the workshop shall be provided. A generous store equipped with a large
sink is necessary for the wide range of cleaning materials and equipment needed. The assumption has been
made for the example shown in Figure 1, that cleaning solvents would be held in the cleaner’s store. For
this reason, the store is shown as having permanent ventilation. In addition, special arrangements need to be
made for waste disposal for oily liquid waste. (See Section 7.2 below)
3.4.4 General Storage
It is assumed that major storage will be provided separately within a central warehouse. The general storage
area therefore, shall contain goods for short-term holding and immediate use. The area allocated in Figure 1
indicates a floor area 20% of the size of the workshop floor, based on the requirement for storing a
proportion of bulky items, as well as smaller components. Goods from the store shall be issued and
allocated on an as-needed basis and shall be subject to strict stock-control procedures. No general access
will normally be allowed to the store from the machine shop floor; rather access shall be controlled from an
issue counter, with a small office being provided, where records may be kept. Additional points to note
include:
(a) There shall be no general storage of flammable goods in the workshop building, except for small
amounts sufficient for the job in hand. Separate external stores shall be provided for flammable and
otherwise hazardous goods such as solvents, oils, acids and gases.
(b) A separate secure storage area shall be provided, where high-value goods, or goods requiring air-
conditioned storage may be needed.
3.4.5 Main Office
The main office shall be provided with a pedestrian entrance, where visitors shall report, before being
allowed into the workshop areas. Sufficient space shall be provided for a workshop supervisor with at least
one clerical assistant, together with associated furniture and files storage. An external, shaded window,
where enquiries may be dealt with shall be provided, as well as a window overlooking the workshop floor.
The latter shall be constructed with safety or wired glass.
3.4.6 Tea Room/Mess Room
Figure 1 indicates a combined tea/staff rest room. No cooking facilities shall be provided.
3.4.7 Staff Toilet and Locker Room
Figure 1 indicates toilet and changing provision. Allowance has been made in the indicative design
example, for changing lockers for approximately 20 staff. A shower installation has been shown, to allow
for the sometimes dirty nature of work necessary to be carried out in the workshop. All supply and waste
pipework is planned to run within a purpose-made duct, which also houses a cleaner’s sink.
Rev 0 1999
3.4.8 Electrical Support Workshop
This areas supplements the heavier work carried out on electro-mechanical components on the shop floor
and is set aside for more delicate work, such as bench testing and calibration. Its function is to offer limited
support services only, and is not intended to replace the services provided by a central electrical workshop.
As such, it is indicated as having been equipped with continuous worktops and storage units around the
room perimeters, with sufficient space for 2 workdesks. It should be noted that a definitive layout of these
areas can only be prepared upon confirmation of the installed plant equipment list. This will enable the
required range of testing equipment to be finalised and the workshop layouts tailored to suit.
3.4.9 Tool and Instrument Air Compressor Room.
Separate compressed air lines shall be provided for pneumatic tools and for instrumentation.
3.4.10 External Storage and Shelters
The following shall be provided:
(a) Flammable/Hazardous Goods Store: This shall be permanently ventilated and positioned
sufficiently distant from the main workshop to present no hazard in the event of fire.
(b) Swarf Storage: Swarf is potentially razor sharp and is inherently hazardous. Storage and disposal
shall be via open steel skip.
(c) Refuse Disposal Store: Provide space for lidded garbage bins. Because of the requirement to
handle waste from the tea room, a stand pipe shall be provided to allow for regular washing down
and disinfecting.
4.0 CIVIL WORKS
4.1 Groundworks
Vendor/Contractors and Designers shall refer to the recommendations and standards set out in GES A.06
for requirements regarding background information on site conditions.
4.1.1 Site Investigation Reports
The extent and type of groundworks and foundation design will vary from site to site and will be dependent
amongst other factors, on the overall structural design of the building. In all cases, a site investigation
report shall be prepared for the Owner’s approval before detailed design development is embarked upon.
The site investigation shall demonstrate the suitability of the proposed site for the construction of civil
engineering and building works. It shall examine all the parameters which may influence the design of the
building and the security of neighbouring land and property. All site investigation reports shall include an
appraisal of the following:
(a) site access;
(b) levels;
(c) drainage and sewage;
(d) ground bearing capacity;

Rev 0 1999
(e) the presence of buried services;
(f) adjacent buildings;
(g) overhead powerlines and other features.
Foundation design shall conform to the guidelines set out in GES Q.03. Particular care shall also be taken
to ascertain the degree of sulphates and other aggressive salts in the ground. As a general rule, allowance
shall be made for sulphate resisting cement to be used in all below ground construction.
4.1.2 General
(a) Ground floor levels shall be raised to minimum 450 mm above the general external ground in
order to help cut down the entry into the building, of wind-borne sand and dust, and to protect the
building during heavy storms, which are liable to cause local or flash flooding. Local surface
conditions shall be investigated, to ensure an adequate run off of water during the brief, but
intense periods of rainfall.
4.2 Concrete Work
Attention is drawn to the importance of adhering to good concrete practice in the prevailing climatic
conditions. Vendor/Contractors shall conform to the recommendations and standards set out in GES Q.03
and GES Q.04, particularly with reference to hot weather concreting.
4.3 External Walling
4.3.1 Thermal Efficiency
It has been assumed for the purposes of this specification, that the most readily available and economic
material for external walling, will be rendered concrete blockwork. Designs incorporating blockwork shall
conform to the recommendations set out in GES Q.05. Owner approval however, shall be sought, whatever
material is proposed.
Workshops designed with uninsulated single-skin blockwork walls will not be accepted. External block
walling shall be insulated, of cavity construction, incorporating insulation, or faced with insulated cladding.
Whatever the construction of external walling, designs shall incorporate external shading such as roof
overhangs or other features to reduce the degree of direct exposure to sunlight.
4.4 Structural Framing
The most economic form of structure for workshops will be obtained by the use of steel portal frames. The
example illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 assumes the use of a portal frame spanning 15 m and clad with
insulated, corrugated metal sheet. Allowance shall be made for a clear working height of not less than 5 m
beneath the travelling crane covering the full workshop area.
4.5 Roofing and Side Cladding
The main shed roof shall be pitched at no less than 8o angle and be clad with corrugated metal sheet with
internal lining. The roof and side cladding shall be insulated, preferably with 100 mm thickness of inert
material, such as fibre glass or mineral fibre quilting, or equivalent, approved, pre-insulated sandwich panel
system. Because of the intermittent but dramatic incidence of rainfall, eaves gutters shall be avoided.
Instead, roofs shall oversail the wall, or if available, curved profile sheeting shall be used at eaves, to
facilitate rainwater disposal and to reduce the requirement for maintenance and inspection of gutters.
Rev 0 1999
Severe seasonal condensation occurs on metal cladding sheets. Designs shall therefore incorporate details
around door openings, which allow for adequate run-off of water.
4.6 Ground Floor Slabs (Workshop & Storage Areas)
By their nature and function, workshops will be housed in large-area buildings, which will be therefore
prone to thermal and other movement. Vendor/Contractors shall therefore demonstrate that design
proposals cater for this. In large area concrete floors, the proper functioning of the floor slab and its
wearing surface in the main shed will be critical to the successful functioning of the building itself.
Vendor/Contractors must note for instance, that machine tools in some instances weigh several tonnes and
may therefore require separate foundations. Some comments are given below of the methodology which is
recommended for the design and construction of large area concrete floors. Vendor/Contractors shall follow
the recommendations set out in the British Cement Association booklet, 'Concrete Ground Floors', or
equivalent, owner approved method. Confirmation of the proposed methodology of concrete floor
construction shall be given by Vendor/Contractors at the design development stage. Floor loading capacity
shall be capable of resisting the axle loads of the heaviest trucks having access to the building.
4.6.1 Subgrade and Sub-base
The performance of a floor slab depends very much upon the uniformity of support from the underlying
materials. Fill shall be inert, graded granular material, thoroughly compacted in 150 mm layers.
Compaction should be carried out with a vibrating roller.
4.6.2 Bay Layout
With the exceptional ambient temperature ranges encountered, concrete floors shall be subdivided into
smaller areas for successful construction. This is necessary in order:
(a) To control tensile stresses due primarily to moisture and thermal contraction of the slab during the
curing process, and thus to limit random cracking.
(b) For practical reasons during construction, to meet the daily capability of the plant and labour
employed.
Floors should be constructed using the long-strip technique, whereby alternative strips of concrete are laid
continuously for the full length of the building, or up to a main movement joint, or to an end-of-day
construction joint. Infill strips are placed several days later, when the adjacent concrete has hardened
sufficiently not to be damaged by the action of the compacting beams. A strip width of 4.5 m has been
found to be the most practical, as it facilitates the placing and accurate finishing of the concrete and the size
of beam is easily handled by two men. This width also conveniently accepts standard sizes of fabric
reinforcement without cutting.
4.6.3 Joints
The concrete strips shall be divided into bays by means of induced joints, either by sawing shallow grooves
in the surface after the concrete has hardened, or by inserting proprietary crack-inducing strips into the
concrete while it is still plastic.
Joints are also required around column bases. These should be 20 mm wide and formed from compressible
filler board, sealed with a proprietary sealant.
For detailed technical requirements regarding structural movement joints, refer to GES Q.04.
Rev 0 1999
4.7 Floor Finish (Workshop & Storage Areas)
The most practical floor finish and the most economic to achieve will consist of Grade 30 (minimum)
concrete, finished as a wearing surface by trowelling, preferably with a power float, or grinding. While
some dusting of the surface may occur, this can be reduced or eliminated with surface-sealing treatments.
This will also increase chemical resistance. A minimum cement content of 325 kg/m3 is essential for good
wear resistance. Abrasives to prior owner approval may be added, to give non-slip qualities.
5.0 COMPONENTS
5.1 Load Bearing Materials
Structural load bearing materials shall be reinforced concrete, loadbearing concrete block (where available)
or steel fully protected from fire. No material will be accepted, which supports combustion.
5.2 Flat Roofing
In designs which incorporate flat roofing, waterproofing shall consist of bitumen-based felts, asphalt or
similar material. Proposals for flat roof specifications shall demonstrate that requirements are clearly set out
regarding watertightness, drainage, thermal and sound insulation, fire precautions, maintenance and repair.
In all cases, proposals for flat roof waterproofing shall also include the following:
Because of the prevailing intense solar radiation, flat roofs shall be of the ‘inverted’ type whereby loose-
laid rigid insulation boards are placed over the waterproof membrane. Boards shall be ballasted with gravel
and/or paving flags. This will ensure that membranes are protected both from deterioration arising from
exposure to ultraviolet light, and from roof traffic.
All roofs shall be insulated with minimum 50 mm thickness of extruded, expanded polystyrene boards or
similar Owner approved. Polystyrene bead board is not acceptable.
Waterproofing shall be fully protected at upstands from direct sunlight by means of reflective gravel and
flashings.
Rainfall can often be infrequent but violent. Designs shall allow for 75 mm per hour precipitation. Parapet
walls shall always have sufficient openings to ensure that roofs do not flood as a result of blockage to piped
outlets.
Design proposals shall always include details of roof entries for piped services, demonstrating that adequate
waterproofing is allowed for.
Roof access doors shall always have thresholds a minimum of 150 mm above the finished roof level, ie
with allowance for the thickness of screeds, insulation and ballast.
5.3 Doors and Windows - General
Doors to staff accommodation shall be of robust construction and minimum 1 hour fire resistance
classification, where they are positioned along the party wall between the main storage shed and the
ancillary accommodation. All doors shall be fitted with kicking plates to give protection from mechanical
damage. Windows and external doors shall be fitted with seals and brushes to reduce the ingress of
windborne sand and dust. Windows shall preferably be constructed from anodised aluminium frames. All
opening windows shall be fitted with integral but easily replaceable flyscreens. Refer to GES B.07 for
further details.
Rev 0 1999
5.3.1 Glazing
Glazing shall generally be kept to the minimum to reduce solar heat gain, confined to those walls facing
away from direct sunlight, or protected by shading. Windows shall be confined to side walls. High-level
glazing shall be provided in preference to rooflights. All glazing shall be protected from the sun by shading.
Design proposals for glazing, especially high-level glazing, shall indicate opening controls, which do not
interfere with equipment along the side walls of the workshop.
5.3.2 Industrial Doors
These may be rolling shutters, folding or sectional doors. Choice criteria shall be based on requirements of
security, the ability when closed, to exclude dust and sand, to withstand day-to-day wear and tear and the
swift replacement of damaged or worn parts. Care shall be taken to ensure that doors are sized to give
adequate clearance from handling equipment. Where motorised doors are specified, these shall always be
capable of being used manually. All large doors shall be fitted with integral wicket doors for personnel
access.
5.3.3 External Doors and Windows: Frames.
External door and window frames may be timber, with glazed viewing panels, or alternative glazed
aluminium frames. All windows and external doors shall be fully fitted with effective brushes and seals to
ensure weathertighness and prevent the ingress of airborne dust and to ensure adequate noise insulation.
5.4 Access and Security
Various levels of security and selective access may be required. Owner requirements shall be confirmed at
the initial design stages. In all cases external doors shall open outwards and be fitted with automatic door
closers.
5.5 Ironmongery
Requirements for ironmongery will vary, but Owner guidance shall be sought for master key and suiting
requirements.
5.5.1 Ironmongery Checklist
Prior to submittal for Owner approval, Vendor/Contractors are advised to prepare and submit ironmongery
schedules, which conform to the following checklist:
- quality required;
- principal finish of proposed ironmongery;
- means of escape;
- safety;
- security;
- key cabinets.
5.6 Joinery
All timber, whether it is used as a finishing material or for general carcassing, shall be properly treated
against insect and fungal attack.
Rev 0 1999
6.0 FINISHES
6.1 Ceilings
Where suspended ceilings are not required, then non-dusting paint finishes shall be specified. Most forms
of proprietary suspended acoustic tile ceilings will be acceptable, provided that the tiles are of the non-
dusting type and they conform with fire-resistance requirements.
6.2 Walls
Internal walls shall be finished with washable emulsion or semi-gloss paint on plaster, except for areas such
as toilets, tea rooms and changing rooms, which shall be covered with glazed ceramic tiles to door height.
6.3 Floors
The primary criteria for floor finishes to non-workshop areas are durability and ease of maintenance and
cleaning. The most readily available material for stores, offices and corridors will be terrazzo tiles for both
floors and skirting. Other suitable materials shall include PVC sheet and tiles. Polished or otherwise
potentially slippery floor finishes shall be avoided. Toilets, cleaner’s room and pantry floors shall be non-
slip vitreous quarry tiles. Where budgets allow, external hardstandings and walkways shall be paved with
precast, interlocking concrete paving blocks.
6.4 Pest Control
The design of field workshops shall incorporate features which shall minimise the entry of cockroaches,
flies and rodents into the building.
6.4.1 Cockroaches, Black Beatles and Crickets
Passage from room to room or floor to floor along pipe-runs, ducts and chases shall be prevented by
suitable sealing. The use of intermediate lengths of ducts and chases shall provide easy inspection.
6.4.2 Flies
Well fitted screens shall be provided for windows and ventilators.
6.4.3 Rodents
(a) Service Pipes and Installation Pipes - Wherever pipes and cables pass through a wall, they shall be
carried in sleeves and the space between the pipe and sleeve shall be effectively sealed.
