EPCPROMAN for Integrated Piping Management System for the project JI-2033 Salalah LPG of Oman Gas Company

PARASCADD proposed their product EPCPROMAN for Integrated Piping Management System.

For successful execution PARASCADD team took following steps

• Identifying Project Tasks
• Team Selection
• Right Tasks to Right Manpower
• Inputs Gathering
• Defining Procedures
• Team Coordination
• Report Formatting
• Monitoring Production
• Reporting On Time
• Revision Control
• 3D Progress Monitoring
• Fulfill QA\QC Requirement
• Material Control
• Document Control
• Test Pack Control

The key factor that impress the client in our SLPG project is 3D progress monitoring. The client always wants to look real progress at the site through 3D visualization. We implemented this in our project as per the requirement and succeeded as well. Every week we shared and presented the 3D Model progress to the management team and they were very happy about that.

In this manner PARASCADD complete the project scope for the project JI-2033 Salalah LPG.

Identifying Project Tasks:
The first most important thing to start the project is to identify the project tasks at various levels in the project. Each project may have a different type of tasks which needs to be identified at the initial stage of the project. In our SLPG project, we identified and noted all the tasks before starting the project execution. It has to be differentiated and to be listed as per the below category.

• PCPL HO Tasks
• PETROFAC HO Tasks
• FABRICATION SHOP Tasks
• ERECTION SITE Tasks

Selection Of Team:
Team selection is very important for a project to be successful. Team selection is always a responsibility task for the team lead who is going to control the team for more than two years. In our case we have chosen the best team from our organization hence we got better outputs and results.

Right Tasks To Right Manpower:
After selecting the team members, it is time to assign the identified project tasks to team members based on their capability.

Each team member may have different skills in executing the project. It is very very important to assign or allocate the “Right Task To Right Manpower” to execute the project perfectly.

Gathering Inputs:
Our next step is gathering inputs from the client. Input collection is the most important thing which has to be in a correct system format. As per our project creation and project outputs, list out the required inputs and collect them at the correct time. Inputs collection task also be the project lead responsibility who should know the project outputs and about project deliveries.

Defining Procedures:
Each project we have to create the procedures for each task or process to execute the project.
The procedures need to be approved by our client which are the only documents or proofs from our client to executing the project on their known workflow. Major procedures are:

• Spooling Procedure
• Revision Control Procedure
• Fabrication Procedure
• Test Pack Control Procedure

Team Coordination:
Always need to give more priority to build a good team. Each member of the team should know about the objectives and results. They need to understand their tasks and complete the tasks with the help of other team members who are having control of other linked tasks. For example, all the shop activities need to be updated on time to commence the site activities at the site. So each team members have to coordinate with others without any hesitation and complete the allocated tasks on time. Team leads always needs to consider the comments or valuable points of their team members who are having much experience in their tasks. Team lead needs to involve the full team always to achieve the effective output.

Report Formatting:
This is the most important thing in the project execution to satisfy the client’s expectations. All the outputs and reports are the only required data from us to share with the client on their required formats. Report formats need to be finalized based on their requirement at the initial level of the project. Reports formatting may vary based on the project. We need to categorize the reports as below:

• Look Ahead Report
• Weekly Progress Report
• Fabrication Forecast Report
• Erection Forecast Report
• Test Pack Summary Report
• Shortage Report
• NDT Coverages

Production Progress Monitoring:
The major responsibility of the project lead is to monitor the project progress at various levels of the project. The target of each task needs to be set high to complete the project on time. In our project, the major productions were spooling outputs and progress data entry. Both progress status we updated daily to the client without fail. So time and production rate is a very important factor to complete the tasks and projects on time.

Reporting on Time:
Once the project runs on peak time, client management always looking for good results through the reports. Each day is a challenging day to fulfill the client’s requirements through different reports. In the SLPG project each day we faced a lot of challenges to finalizing the report in Client HO as well as on-site and we have achieved the challenges with good reports. On-time report to the project management team is the team lead responsibility to collect the data from
the team members and submit to the management in their required format.

Revision Control:
Revision control is one of the most important factors to complete the project successfully and happened in SLPG. We controlled the revision very well. If the revision is under our control then no need to worry about the project. It is the responsibility of all team members whoever involved in the project has to be very careful about the revisions from top to bottom i.e from spooling and till testpack. We controlled the revisions at the initial level with the involvement of the client as well. They have released the revision control log on every week to identify the upcoming revisions which help us to hold the ISOs and release the SWN and HRN.

3D Progress Monitoring:
The key factor to impress the client in our SLPG project was 3D progress monitoring. The client always wants to look real progress at the site through 3D visualization. We implemented this in our SLPG as per the client requirement and succeeded as well. Every week we shared and presented the 3D Model progress to the client management team and they were very happy about that.

Fulfill the QA/QC Requirement:
In the oil and gas sector project execution time, we need to give more importance to the QA/QC department team to ensure that the project is running under quality delivery. In the SLPG project, most of the outputs from the system are for only to the QA/QC department. The interaction with QA/QC team should be started from the initial level of the project. Also, we need to finalize their output reports at the initial level of the project. Major Reports Deliveries of

QA/QC in SLPG:

• NDT Coverages
• Penalty Logs
• Repair Logs
• Test Pack History Sheet
• Welder Coverages

Material Control:
This is one of the interesting parts of the project where all the management team involved in the deliveries of materials. In the SLPG project, we controlled the material very well from the initial level of the project and appreciated it by the client project manager. Also, we faced a lot of challenges in this part. In SLPG we had two fabricators and three site contractors and we are the only responsible team that can shift the materials from the site to shop and shop to the site. And based on the project priority we blocked the material and issued the job cards to all subcontractors at the correct time. Also, we involved in shortage quantity identification and found a better substitution for the shortages. We issued shortage reports weekly once to all management teams to ensure that the shortage materials are under ordering and delivering.
Also, we monitored the test pack wise MTO and shortage analysis to ensure that the test pack can be tested on time without material shortage.

Document Control:
The documents control section is the interesting one which plays a major role in all project. We have to control and monitor all the document transmittal transmission daily. The documents like drawings, job cards, and other reports have to be transmitted through document transmittal. We need to give full control of all project documents to the document controller. Always give priority to the revision management documents which control the project. Also, ensure that all the job cards and SWN/HRN transmitted to client DC on time.

Test Pack Control:
In our SLPG project, the Test Pack monitoring and control was fully monitored and controlled through our system and used mostly by construction and QA/QC team. We involved more in the test package section to control that all the packages are ready for testing and reinstatement.

For this section, always we need to interact with the engineering team for package finalization and construction team for testing execution. As per our output report and confirmation only, the construction team goes for testing execution. This section is a very interesting section where we can see all the project teams involved with us to get the results. Also, test package wise MTO and shortage data needs to be shared frequently to analyze the testing planning and execution.

Test pack history sheets are the final output delivery from our system. Once testing completed as per the client requirement, the project outputs from the system has been completed successfully.
