E & I Estimation Guide Line

1 DOCUMENT PURPOSE

The purpose of this document is to detail how CONTRACTOR estimates the Man-
hours for Electrical and Instrumentation disciplines.

It describes:
 The activities used on the job card
 The basis used for Man-hours estimating
 The coefficients used in time estimating

2 BASSIS OF TIME ESTIMATE

For electrical and instrument activities, the norms to be used for offshore
installation come from different estimator’s manual from John S. Page:
 Estimator's electrical manhour manual
 Estimator's piping manhour manual (for instruments installation)
 Cost Estimating Manual for Pipelines & Marine Structures

We also consider some norms from document issued by Company for EPC4A project
(e.g. for cable pulling): “EPC4A HUC Estimating Methodology Rev 0”.
Any “grey areas” should be covered by supplementary norms but can also be
estimate by preparator based on experience or realistic assumptions.
The productivity factor is to be considered as 1 for E&I work.
For demolition, we will use 50% of installation norms (cf. EPC4A HUC Estimating
Methodology Rev 0).

3 LIST OF PRODUCTIVE PERSONNEL

The teams performing E&I Job cards will be made of the following productive
personnel:
 Instrument Technician
 Tubing Fitter
 Electrician
 E&I Helper

Assumptions:
 Riggers will assist us for pulling of cable from cable-reel whenever
necessary.
 Electrical pulling team shall be crew sized (x) by preparator considering
various parameters like length to be pulled, type and section of cables and
simple or complex layout.

For OCIP project, electrical pulling Team could rose up to 10 personnel, with
minima 4 personnel.
We assume Electrical Team 2 will handle pulling of standard cable (i.e. section
below 3Cx2 AWG), length to be pulled below 50 foot and simple layout.
We assume Electrical Team 2 will carry out demolition of tubing, trays and cable

4.4 GENERAL ASSUMPTIONS FOR ELECTRICAL AND INSTRUMENT JOB

CARD PREPARATION
For installation of E&I cables, consider 1 tie-rap every 0.85 foot (4 tie-raps per
meter). This will help us to estimates average quantity of tie-rap necessary.
Consider 4 cables per cable-grouping.
For installation of Instrument tubing, consider 1 gang-clamp or yoke-clamp
every 2 foot.
For installation of Instrument tubing in tray, consider 1 stainless steel tie-rap,
uncoated, every 2 foot.
