Episode 22 : PROJECT EXECUTION
Component Assembly
•Transportation of component
•Installation of components at plant sitePolice approval
•Large components – used suitable cranes, usually are leased/rent– electronically controllable by remote control
•Medium/Smaller components– hoists or fork‐lifts are used– are ordered to the building site at an early stage and intermediately
stored there.
‐If possible, at the same time, during the assembly of main components, the assembly of medium/smaller components will begin.‐Subcontractor is required to provide suitable packaging or tarpaulin cover(cover for vessel opening such as nozzle, by means of plastic caps)

PIPE ASSEMBLY
•Begin after the installation of the essential components has been completed.• Depend on several factors. Example:
Case of metal pipe, welding work is required.• The non‐destructive testing also need
to consider.
Prefabricated piping
Two possibilities in the fabrication of the piping.
Site‐run piping
PREFABRICATED PIPING
Requires a good and detail piping planning.• Pipe routes are prefabricated on the pipe supplier’s premises.
• Delivered to the building site in the form of a conglomerate of pipe formations.
Advantages‐ Has a time advantages.‐ During prefabricated phase,
construction and component assembly can be excluded.
‐ Building site activities are less.
Disadvantages‐ The collisions and alterations are
considerable (cause extra cost needed).‐ Rubber lined pipe systems must
prefabricated (time effort involved).
SITE‐RUN PIPING
•With the aid of the piping and instrumentation flow charts the piping routes are planned and dimensioned.
•Planning effort – lower and CAD systems ‐ no need
• Probability of collisions –lower
• Planning the piping routes no‐•The piping documentation has to be integrated or prepared on ‐ site during the
construction phase
• Disadvantage ‐ not suitable at high temperature.
• Advantage ‐ small nominal widths do not require stress calculation.
• fixed flanges• rotatable flanges• screwed connections• glued joints• welding joints
• other fittings
FITTING AND CONNECTIONS

ASSEMBLY E/MC TECHNOLOGYUsually assembly of electrotechnical equipment is independently from the plant
erection because of the control cabinets are accommodated in separated rooms.
More difficult is the installation of measuring instruments and cabling. Since a large part of measuring instruments is integrated in the pipes, the assembly occurs within the framework of the piping and fitting assembly.
Cabling will begins with so‐called “cable
reels”. Cable Reels:
Where cable laid from control station to the individual consumer or measuring points in the cable trays.
The cable reel requires an external temperature of more than 5°C. If the external temperatures are lower, there will be the risk that either the cables break or the cable trays will be deformed due to the embrittlement of the cable insulation.
The cable reel can be passed through before the assembly of the actual consumer.
The cable connecting plans generated both from the piping plans and from the piping and instrumentation diagrams that shows the position of the consumer or connecting points in the plant.
In the majority of cases, cables are laid in protective conduits as soon as they leave the cable trays.
Finally the cables are connected to the terminal boxes of the motor.
Usually the cable connection work requires separate scaffolds. Moreover, the concurrent assembly of components and cable reels bears the risk of damaging the newly laid cables. This applies especially to the insulation work to be done.
It is advisable to carry out the cable reel work only after the completion of theassembly.
The usual time pressure, however, does not allow for such a procedure.

•Insulation work start after assembly of the piping.•The insulation consist of mineral wool layer.•For longer vertical pieces, dual grip rings used which hold the insulation wool to protected against slipping.•Finally,
insulation caps or moulted partsmounted after pressure and leakage tests.

Presentation Scope
Plant Marking
10
1) Marking of the operating resources2) Pipeline marking3) Cable marking4) Safety marking5) Other markings (at sole discretion of customer)
Marking of the operating resources may be designed as engraved labels or profile rails with individual letters being inserted.
Fixing of the labels occurs by means of clamps, rivet joints, cable ties etc
For the pipes, marked are done with banderols either directly glued on to the pipes or on to the insulation
Colour of the banderol represent media carried by the pipeline
Comprises the marking of hazardous material according to the Ordinance on Hazardous Substances.– hazardous substances symbols in yellow/black (skull for
toxic media, etched hand for acids etc.).– instruction signs in blue/white (eye protection,
breathingprotection, ear protection)

Safety Marking
Commissioning
12
The commissioning coincides with the residual work ofthe assembly
The person mainly responsible ~ commissioning manager C.M should be able to use their considerable experience
gained in other projects. It also is subjected to a time schedule that should be adhered
to. Depends on the philosophy of the plant manufacturer. The considerations regarding commissioning of a
plant should already be integrated in the beginnings of the plant engineering.
Furthermore, the optimum implementation of the commissioning activities requires competent commissioning management .
After all, insights gained in the commissioning process should be absolutely documented to draw advantages for future projects.
Cleaning
13
• After completion of the assembly work the preliminary cleaning of the building site and the plant has to be carried out. The inside cleaning of the plant is considerably more difficult.
• The containers and apparatus have to be cleaned from inside and then the piping will be purged.
• In order to protect sensitive plant components, in particular pumps, measuring instruments and control valves, during the flushing process it is advisable to shut them off by means of blanks.
a) Sensitive measuring instruments can be removed. The orifices are to be closed by blind flanges or caps.
b) For control valves, flushing inserts can be ordered and installed.
c) Pumps can be protected by installing blanks on the suction and pressure side.
After completion of the assembly work the preliminary cleaning of the building site and the plant has to be carried out. The inside cleaning of the plant is considerably more difficult.
There is the alternative to protect sensitive plant parts through the installation of so – called start - up strainers or flushing sieves.
Usually, it is flushed from the pumps in the direction of the vessels or apparatuses.
In order to enable the removal of coarse impurities, interval flushing is advantageous. The flushing conduit will be opened and kept open for a determined interval and will finally be closed again. This procedure can be repeated several times.

Cleaning
- Generally limited to the assembled pipes.1) The system is filled and then evacuated at the highest point.2) Pressure test appliedand time-related pressure drop will be recorded.3) Visual test of all connecting points also carried out.4) Eliminate leakages and finally discharge water from the pipes.
Functional Test- The individual aggregates and measuring points are tested for their correct function- Examples of functional test applied
1) Pump2) Fixtures and fittings3) Apparatus – agitators, centrifuges and etc.4) Black boxes – self contained and operative small plants5) Measuring instruments
15
Pressure Test
System Test- Carry out after functional test on each individual aggregates
and measuring points- The controls of the main system will be tested whether the
entire system function work properly or not.
Cold and Warm CommissioningCold Commissioning After inspection of all system controls Liquid processing plant first filled with water up
to control levels Individual system controls are activated Flow-through and level controls can be tested and
optimized Timing elements have to be optimized
16
