    Section V - Field Issues

    A. Field trip guidelines - By: James O. Pennock

    This discussion is about what to expect when you are asked to go to the field?

    B. Defining Offsite Facilities for Process Plants - Contributed by Jadeep Choudary, Anita R. Legvold and

    James O. Pennock.

    Some have asked questions such as: What is Balance of Plant?; What is Offsites? What is OSBL? and

    What needs to be considered when a project includes Offsites. The purpose of this document is to aid

    in answering this type of question.

    Section - V

    A: Field Trip Guidlines

    By: James O. Pennock

    What is involved when you are asked to go to the field? If you are truly a knowledgeable and

    experienced designer or engineer you are supposed to know the answer to that question. If you are a

    novice, new to the business or if you have never been to a job site you will not know. However, you

    should be smart enough to ask. Yet, we see many cases where people show up at a job site, uninformed

    of what they are supposed to do, and unprepared to do it.

    I remember a case that is a classic. A team of four were selected and sent to a job site. All the members

    had ten plus years of experience so the supervisor made the assumption that they all knew what was

    expected. The individuals involved happened to live in a widely scattered area and were to travel from

    different airports and at different times. This point eventually contributed in part to the problem

    because there was no face to face meeting in the office or at the airport before getting on the plane.

    Friday they were all given (or sent) plane tickets and directions for finding the plant and were to meet at

    the job site on arrival on Monday.

    Three of the four seemed to know what was expected. The forth, a contract employee, new to the

    company, but with more than thirty years of total experience proved to be the exception. This person

  • 8/8/2019 Section v - Field Issues

    2/30

    showed up in dress casual and with nothing in hand. The supervisor, thinking the person had left his

    work clothes in the car or some place close by, told him to change into his field gear and be ready to go

    to work. Change, into what? What field gear? To make a long story short, this person had only

    brought casual clothes and had brought nothing in the way of field gear or tools. He had no work shoes,

    no work clothes, no hard hat, no safety glasses, and no hearing protection. He also had no pencil,

    eraser, sketch paper, no clipboard, and no tape measure. Nothing! When asked why not, the answer

    was that he expected the company or the client to supply everything. As quietly as possible the person

    was told that he was fired and to leave the job site, go get on the plane and go home.

    The situation proved to be an embarrassment to not only the supervisor but also the company. You see

    job sites such as the type we had in this case are tight little communities and you cannot keep secrets

    from people who are in charge. It was not long before the company construction manager and the

    client both knew about the fiasco. Although they agreed with sending the employee away, they were

    not happy with the cost and the effect on the schedule. They expected everyone to show up ready,

    willing and able to work.

    Ready, willing, and able to work means everybody. It means all the members of the team. It includes

    the team leader and each individual engineer or designer. The balance of this article is intended to be a

    guide to any individual who is required to go to a job site to perform work. It is offered to held define

    the major procedural and technical issues related to making the field trip both cost effective and safe.

    When it is recognized that a trip is required, the first thing that is normally done is to define the purpose

    of the trip and obtain all required approvals. This is normally done at the project senior supervisory and

    management levels. We will not dwell on why a field trip is required. What we need to do is insure that

    it is done right.

    The next thing to do is activate the team. Engineers or designers assigned to a field team for routinefieldwork or specific problem solving need to be selected carefully. They should be selected on the basis

    of knowledge and prior experience. They may also need specific skills, or the familiarity with operations,

    maintenance, or construction.

    In order to activate the team the following may be required:

    Names & phone numbers of client site primary & secondary "Key" contacts

    Names of the engineering company primary & secondary contacts

    Name of the person responsible for decision making, time sheet and expense report approval

    Team member names

    Assign someone as the team leader, someone in charge

    Team member release from present assignment (if applicable)

    Travel arrangements (Airline, lodging, ground transportation, meals, etc.)

  • 8/8/2019 Section v - Field Issues

    3/30

    Maps to site location, site logistics, site safety criteria, badges, camera pass and site access

    Charge number for this (Problem/Solution) assignment

    Next, before leaving for the site, there should be a pre-trip meeting of all the team members. The direct

    supervisor who is responsible for the team and the results should conduct this pre-trip meeting. The

    agenda for this meeting should include a review of the purpose of the trip and the expected results.

    Have a plan for everyone and for all the work objectives. Other items that should be covered would

    include the chain of command, the schedule, the cost and expense issues, and an exchange of phone

    numbers for emergency contacts. Review what to do if someone misses the plane, etc.

    On arrival, check in with the key Client contact person and the jobsite construction manager. Safety is

    the first and most important step of the actual site visit. Make sure that every member of the team has

    received the site-specific safety training. Know and understand the emergency warning system and the

    evacuation routes. Identify and agree on a place to meet, if there is a possibility of getting separated.

    Engineers and Designers who visit a Client facility or site are expected to know the type of work they willbe doing when they arrive and should be prepared to take prompt action to address that work. They are

    also expected to have with them the tools and supplies required for their jobs.

    Standard safety clothing and personal protective equipment (PPE) Requirements:

    - Hard hat

    - Goggles or safety glasses w/ permanent side shields (no contact lenses and no removable side shields)

    - Work shoes (check, some job sites require steel toed work boots)

    - Gloves

    - Ear protection

    - Respirator with Cartridges (When required)

    - NOMEX or Equivalent flame retarding outer wear (This is sometimes optional depending on the client

    or type of plant)

    Basic tools:

    - Pencils and markers, a clip board, straightedge

    - Sketch paper and Isometric forms

    - 25 ft. Tape measure

    Alternate tools that may be helpful

  • 8/8/2019 Section v - Field Issues

    4/30

    - String line, Plumb Bob, and String Level (Used for measurements)

    - Stopwatch (Used for checking frequency of events)

    - Medical type Stethoscope (Used for listening for unusual noises inside of pipes)

    - Camera (Requires Client approval and pass)

    The team should not expect to borrow any tools or supplies from the Client. If a new requirement for

    tools or supplies is identified, after arrival at the site, the team should arrange to rent or purchase the

    item and turn in the cost on an expense report. An exception may be made if the required item is

    unusual and or very costly and the client has the item available.

    Once in the field and trained in the site safety criteria, the team is ready to go to work. Everyone should

    go about the work in a prompt and professional manner. Where possible, fieldwork should be done by

    two person teams. The people on each team should check each others work as the work progresses.

    They should review their list of activities and tasks as they proceed. Review the trip plan. Its better to

    get too much information thus insuring you do not miss something. Remember that this job site may be

    thousands of miles from your home office. A return trip for one missed item could be very costly.

    Check in with the home office daily or per previous instructions. Let the home office supervisor know

    the progress of the planned work and ask if there are any new requirements. Proceed through the list

    of all planned trip requirements. Perform all activities and tasks. Do no return from the job site until all

    planned items are complete (unless directed otherwise). It is also recommended that you check in with

    the site construction manager on a daily basis. There may be additional project needs that have come

    up. There may also be a change in some critical site condition that could effect the team safety. When

    leaving the job site you should check out with the construction manager and your client host.

    Upon return to the office, there should be a debriefing meeting. The responsible supervisor, the project

    engineer (or manager) and all team members should attend. Review the purpose of the trip, the results.

    Review the trip plan. Did you accomplish everything that was required? If not, why not? Were there

    any problems? Were they solved and what were the solutions? Are there any lessons to be learned

    from this trip? Is another trip required? If so why? And when will the next trip be required?

    Every field trip should be planned and executed in a proper and cost effective manner. If so, then the

    project will benefit. The individuals on the team also benefit. They gain value and a reputation for

    being an experienced and effective candidate for future fieldwork. Good luck and have a safe and

    successful trip.

    Section - V

    B: Defining Offsite Facilities for Process Plants

    Contributors (In alphabetical order):

    Introduction

    Some have asked questions such as: "What is Balance of Plant?"; "What is Offsites?" What is OSBL?" and

    "What needs to be considered when a project includes Offsites."

    The term Offsites is a general term and does not mean the same for every project or every plant. A

    project may include extensive tankage for feed storage along with tankage for in-process product,

    intermediate product, run-down tankage, slops and finished product tankage. Another project may

    include none of this because they already exist. The point here is just because you are told that the

    project includes "Offsites" you need to ask a lot of questions to determine exactly what they mean and

    what will be required.

    The purpose of this document is to aid in answering this type of question. This document will not tell

    you how to design the Offsites or design any of the individual sub-items or equipment found on this list.

    That design guidance should properly be left up to you, your supervisors and your management. I do

    however intend to start a listing of major elements along with some minor key issues that should be

    considered.

    I invite others to submit their own thoughts and comments to add to and improve this list.

    1, Definitions

    Offsite -- In a process plant (Refinery, Chemical, Petrochemical, Power, etc.), any supporting facility that

    is not a direct part of the primary or secondary process reaction train or utility block. Offsites are also

    called OSBL.

    Onsite - Any single or collection of inter-related and inter-connected process equipment that performs

    an integrated process function. Typically any Onsite Unit could be made to function independently of

    another Onsite Unit. Onsite Units are also called ISBL.

    Utility Block - A single or multiple grouping of facilities that generate the support services required by

    the Onsite Process units to function. This normally includes: Steam Generation, Plant Air, Instrument Air,

    Decimalized Water, Plant Water, etc.

    Balance of Plant - This is another term for Offsites and/or anything else other than the Onsite Units or

    the Utility Block.

    Battery Limit -- Line used on a plot plan to determine the outside limit of a unit. The Battery Limit line is

    usually established early in the project and documented on all discipline documents such as Plot Plans,

    Site Plans, Drawing Indexes, etc... (1)

    Property Line -- A Property Line is the recorded boundary of a plot of land. (2) Defines the separation

    between what is recognized legally as Owner's land and non-Owner's or other land.

    On Property -- All land and or water inside the Property line shown on the property map or deed.

    Off Property - Off property is any land (or water) outside of the Property line shown on the property

    map or deed.

  • 8/8/2019 Section v - Field Issues

    7/30

    Right of Way (ROW) -- Any land (On Property or Off Property) set aside and designated for a specific use

    or purpose. A Right-of-Way within a piece of property may also be designated for use by someone other

    than the property owner.

    Setback or Setback Line -- A line established by law, deed restriction, or custom, fixing the minimum

    distance from the property line of the exterior face of buildings, walls and any other construction form; sstreet, road, or highway right-of-way line (3). Setback is a clear area normally at the boundary of a piece

    of property with conditions and restrictions for building or use.

    Easements -- A vested or acquired right to use land other than as a tenant, for a specific purpose; such

    right being held by someone other than the owner who holds the title to the land (2). An easement is

    typically a strip of land within which overhead power lines or underground pipes are run.
