EPC Project Management

EPC stands for Engineering, Procurement, Construction and is a prominent form of contracting agreement in the construction industry. The engineering and construction contractor will carry out the detailed engineering design of the project, procure all the equipment and materials necessary, and then construct to deliver a functioning facility or asset to their clients. Companies that deliver EPC Projects are commonly referred to as EPC Contractors. The EPC phase of the project is also known as the Execution phase which normally follows what is know as a FEED or Front End Engineering Design phase. The FEED is a basic engineering design used as the basis for the EPC phase. The FEED can be divided into separate packages covering different portions of the project. The FEED packages are used as the basis for bidding on when the client offers the EPC work to the market. Under an EPC contract, the contractor designs the installation, procures the necessary materials and builds the project, either directly or by of the work.

In some cases, the contractor carries the project risk for schedule as well as budget in return for a fixed price, called lump sum LSTK depending on the agreed scope of work. EPCM stands for Engineering, Procurement, Construction Management. This type of contract is different to an EPC Contract in that the Contractor is not directly involved in the construction but is responsible for administering the Construction Contracts. EPCI stands for Engineering Procurement Construction and Installation which is a common form of contracting arrangement in the Offshore Construction Industry. As opposed to an EPC contract, the offshore facility or vessel that is constructed has to be transported and installed at the project location. EPIC stands for Engineering Procurement Installation Commissioning is typically a Lump Sum Turn Key (LSTK) type Contract integrating the responsibility going from the conception to the final acceptance of one or more elements of a production system. It can be awarded for all, or part, of a field development.

Engineering work flow concept is required to be fully understand for someone who involved in the EPC Planning and Activity Sequencing. This concept is applied when the EPC level 4 schedule is developed. The process of engineering work to produce the required deliverables depends on not only within the functional discipline itself but also among the process, mechanical and piping engineering functions. Engineering in EPC project is the task of translating a set of functional requirement into a full set of drawings and specifications depicting every detail of a facility, Engineering involves varieties of specialties, which include : • Process •Civil and Structure •Mechanical •Piping •Electrical •Instrumentation •General Engineering •Safety

Engineering Work Flow

There are many interdependencies between engineering documents. For instance piping routing drawings are issued after the process diagram Is defined. Most of the documents will usually issued several times, at different stages to for review as well as to incorporate the comments. Typically a document is first issued for Internal Review (IFR) of the other disciplines, then to client for comment (IFC), it will be returned to be incorporated with the client comments and issue for Approval (IFA), then for construction (IFC) and last once everything is confirmed and will Approve for Construction (AFC)

14

Page 15: Epc project interdepency and Work Flow- promo

The entire strategy is dependent on Engineering and Procurement providing their deliverables to meet Path of Construction. Contractor mobilizes based on Engineering forecast of IFC EWPs (Engineering Work Packages).

Reference Document Instrument specification, piping specification, calculation, vendor catalogue

Once the data sheet completed, it is attached to requisition which to be sent to vendors. Vendors will offer their quotation with various model and manufacturer among the offers. Having been considered its technical and commercial aspects, the instrument is purchased. Following the purchase order, vendor will submit supporting document and drawing. Based on vendor data, instrument data sheet may be updated to accommodate details to make the data sheet “as-built”.

Work front Concept

48

Page 49: Epc project interdepency and Work Flow- promo

Work Front

Engineering progress is commonly measured by assigning a weight, usually the required number of required manhours, to each task/deliverable. Once the task is performed/ the deliverable is issued, the corresponding manhours are earned. The earned progress divided by the total number of manhours gives the % progress. As each engineering task/deliverable is scheduled at certain dates, it is possible to anticipate the progress that should be earned at a given date. It is the planned progress. At regular period, usually on a monthly basis, the actual progress of each activity/deliverable is measured against the planned progress. An actual progress less than the planned progress might show a lack of resources and a need for increased mobilization to get back on plan, following a (re-)forecast progress curve. Although such progress measure is commonly used, it could be deceiving. It indeed reflects rather well the progress of engineering on its own but not how well is engineering supporting the Project schedule. Let’s consider that engineering must issue 2 material requisitions, an urgent one for a Long Lead Item and another one which is required later on. Engineering will earn progress whatever requisition it issues, even if putting the Project in delay by issuing the non urgent requisition first. One sees that the above measure of progress alone is insufficient. It must be complemented by monitoring that important Milestones are met. These Milestones are first of all, the ones associated with the issue of the Requisition for the equipment. Long lead items have naturally to be purchased early. All equipment and packages also need to be purchased as early as their technical definition allows. Indeed, engineering development is highly dependent on information from vendors. The sooner the purchase orders are placed the sooner the vendor information will be available. Next come the Milestones associated with Bulk Material Procurement to support construction, such as the Piping MTO and the Structural Steel MTO (for an off-shore Project).

49

Page 50: Epc project interdepency and Work Flow- promo

Work Front

Then come the Milestones associated with Construction. These are the IFC Plot Plan, a pre-requisite to start any site work, and the IFC P&IDs, a pre-requisite to the issue of Piping isometrics. The 50% IFC Piping isometric milestone comes next, which typically falls half way through the Project, as ensuing works, such as pre-fab and erection have a rather incompressible duration, due to site constraints (capacity of pre-fab shop, space constraints for erection limiting the progress). Even if engineering deliveries are in sequence, the above engineering progress measure might still be deceiving, as it will only reflect the amount of engineering work completed and not the workfront made available to construction. Let’s consider for instance that two foundations are to be cast. The first one is a very large foundation and the second one a small one. Issuing the drawing of either the large or small foundation will earn engineering the same progress, although it will open quite a different workfront to Construction. One sees the necessity to measure the issued Workfront. In the case of foundations, for instance, this will be done by monitoring the cumulative quantity of concrete (m3) of all issued IFC foundation drawings. Producing an S curve, such as the one shown in next slide, showing both planned and actually issued quantities will give a true picture of how well engineering is supporting civil works. One will similarly monitor, for an On-Shore project, the cumulative quantity of steel (tons) of issued IFC Structural drawings. The cumulative tons (or dia inch) of IFC issued Piping isometrics will show the available piping workfront. Such progress curves, showing the actual versus planned available workfronts are instrumental to monitor engineering progress, identify shortage and take corrective actions (increase mobilisation). It is not perfect however and can still be deceiving, in case of out-of-sequence issues: engineering may have issued drawings representing significant quantities, but that does not generate construction workfront as such works can not be performed at this time (due to lack of access or pre-requisite for another work to be completed before, for instance).

What Makes Forecasting is a Challenge

Challenges

EWP process has many steps to get to IFC

The rules of credit (if they exist) are either not known or not utilized.

EWP development held back by outside influence (e.g., Systems, Vendor Data or Owner Decisions)

Construction mobilizes resources based on forecast completions of EWP IFC

Engineering forced to release partial EWPs or releases EWPs out of sequence or EWPs with HOLDS

EWP releases continue to slip but construction is now mobilized

Sample Pipeline Construction Project WBS for Refinery/Chemical Plant

Sample WBS for piping construction project for a refinery or chemical plant may be organized as the following. It is worth to be organized by location wise (i.e. platform and pipe rack, platform and equipment around piping) prior to “Phase” WBS. Timely completion of piping construction is not only depending on timely receiving of engineering drawings and materials from Owner/EPC contractor but timely availability of the infrastructure should also be addressed. Sometime it refers to work front availability. Developing WBS is mainly depending on the project scope. It should be defined according to the project specific as every project is different, for instance, “Demolishing” WBS may also be added under “Phase” level priority to “Installation” WBS if your project scope involved a considerable amount of piping demolishing scope. “Above Ground” and “Under Ground” WBS can be left in case no underground piping work is included in the project. (1) Level 1: Plant Unit, e.g. Utility Unit, Ethylene Theatre Unit, etc. (2) Level 2: Area within a Unit, for instance, Area ABC, Area XYZ. Area demarcation is marked for a group of process piping on above ground and underground. (3) Level 3: Height. This is to segregate pipe work on the above ground and underground. (4) Level 4: Location where pipeline is run, for instance, piping on and around pipe rack, equipment and equipment platform. (5) Level 5: Phase, e.g. Fabrication, Installation (field erection, NDT) and pre-commissioning (hydro testing, air flushing, chemical cleaning etc.) Note : “Common” WBS name refers to common location where interconnecting piping is running between the pipe rack and equipment or equipment platform. Having a clear definition of what is and what is not meant by “Common” is important

Page 74: Epc project interdepency and Work Flow- promo

Piping Tie-in Process

Normally, piping tie-in installation scope is involved in revamp project only. The progress tracking system for tie-in work includes Tie-in Tracker Sheet and Progress tracking sheet. Tie-in numbers against the Isometric drawings and work packages are listed in the tracker sheet. The tie-in type (Bolt-up, cut and weld, hot tap, cold tap and threaded are typical tie-in types in process industry), project area or system name and installed dates are also included in the tracker sheet. To develop Progress Tracking Sheet for overall Isometric drawings, the following work steps and weight factor percentages are utilized. 1. Preparation ( Scaffold erection if required/remove insulation if required) -20% 2. Tie-in work (Bolt up/cut & weld/hot tap/cold tap/threaded) -70% 3. Inspection (Sign QC document, example : flange make up check list) -10% The Progress Tracking System for Pipeline Erection Work Developing procedure of progress tracking system for pipeline erection work is the same as piping fabrication work except work steps and weight factor percentages. To do that, replace the following work steps and weight factor percentages with the existing ones and rearrange the formulae. 1. Material at Erection area - 5% 2. Piping Laying -20% 3. Preparation(align/tack weld) -20% 4. Full Welding Execution - 40% 5. Non Destructive Examination - 5% 6. Pipe Support Erection -15% 7. Final Inspection - 5%
