⏹ The History of the Commissioning ✅ The commissioning process originates from the shipbuilding industry. A commissioned ship is a ship that is completed and ready to sail. Before the ship can receive this title, it must pass a series of tests. The equipment on the ship must be thoroughly tested, problems must be identified and solved, and it must be ensured that the crew is trained in the operation and maintenance of the ship. This approach has been adopted by the construction industry, and the terminology "Building Commissioning Process" has been used since the 1980s. ✅ The Commissioning Process is a quality orientated process to document and test that the project systems fulfill the owner requirements.

Underground pipeline safety during deeper excavations demands meticulous planning. As a Project Manager overseeing site inspections at, implementing stepped excavation techniques with shoring boxes is pivotal. This approach involves creating a series of horizontal steps to prevent soil collapse and maintain stability. Through my experience, prioritizing proper installation and regular checks of shoring boxes has been integral in safeguarding against potential hazards in deeper excavations. Continuous training, real-time monitoring, and collaboration with engineering experts contribute to a robust safety management system, ensuring the well-being of personnel and the integrity of underground pipelines. #vivekinfrastructures #larsenandtoubro #subcontractors #safety

Overcame pipeline challenges? When it’s 70 degrees sunny and flat anybody can put pipe in the ground. Why, even engineers can build it for those circumstances. 😉 What do you do when you have weather challenges, that impact excavation, that impact the whole job? Planned Ahead: Anticipated obstacles, assessed conditions. Prioritized Safety: Ensured safety gear, mitigated risks. Adapted: Stayed flexible, developed alternative strategies. Communicated Effectively: Maintained clear communication, collaborated. With both the company, inspection and employees. Ensured Quality is Upheld high standards, conducted inspections. Continuously Learning: Stayed updated, focused on skill development. Successfully navigated pipeline construction and welding challenges. Perseverance and teamwork are key! #Construction #Teamwork #shancollc #professional #safety

The industry we work in can be a very dangerous one, which is what makes site safety so incredibly important. Overlooking even the smallest safety detail can lead to disaster, so it's crucial to follow any rules and regulations set out.

You cannot verify the underground for your lifting structure before starting the project. Showstopper? Navigating the challenge of verifying the underground conditions for lifting structures prior to project commencement poses a common question, particularly in flare tip handling initiatives and various other projects. The inaccessibility of the flare tip access platform complicates matters, with inspections revealing deterioration whose severity remains uncertain. How does one effectively manage the risk of unforeseen events during execution?   1.     Experience-Driven Feasibility Assessment: Evaluate feasibility based on past experiences and formulate a conceptual lift method.   2.     Conservative Engineering Approach: Adopt a conservative stance in your engineering, particularly concerning load introduction and foundation conditions.   3.     Thorough Risk Assessment (HAZID): Conduct a comprehensive Hazard Identification (HAZID) during the engineering and preparation phase, aiming to mitigate potential risks.   4.     Management of Change Procedure: In the event of unexpected occurrences during execution, employ a Management of Change procedure. Having an experienced, qualified, and competent contractor on board is crucial for swift and effective responses to last-minute changes.   5.     Acknowledging 'Rest Risk': Recognize that some lifts may prove impossible within project parameters. Ensure a robust contract that allows for the suspension of works in such cases.   In lifting projects, particularly during stages 3 and 4, asset owners benefit significantly from experienced contractors. These professionals, having encountered and mitigated challenges in the past, bring invaluable insights. Moreover, an adept contractor with strong engineering capabilities adds another layer of assurance for seamless project execution, providing both on-site competency and robust engineering support. “The Power of Preparation” Am I missing something?

Safety Compliance Services are Critical in Construction The construction industry is prone to workplace accidents and fatalities. It is widely regarded as one of the most dangerous fields, as many workers are exposed to dangers regularly. According to OSHA data, there were 1,008 construction worker fatalities in 2020. Many of these unfortunate deaths are triggered by construction’s “Fatal Four.” However, proper safety and compliance services can help ensure better safety standards. Read on to learn about the fatal four of construction and relevant consideration and precautions: http://ow.ly/ukHX50Ng0L3 #SafetyComplianceServices #Construction #DCSRescue Evans Industrial, Inc.

A very long time ago as a young engineer I kept a daily site diary. I thought I was ahead of the game with record keeping…. I recorded which subcontractors were on site that day, what interesting plant & equipment was in operation and what the weather was doing. Now, having seen lots of delay claims I would add to the list! ✅What the programme planned activities were for the week. ✅What activities we actually did and in what quantity. ✅Reasons we didn’t achieve planned progress. ✅How did I notify any delays. ✅ A referenced list of daily photographs for each activity.

In my experience project critical path method float is not necessary and it makes the whole plan too squishy. It gives a lever to play games with and distracts from the heart of the project, which is production. When I asked a very senior planner for a top tier operator what the critical path of an LNG project was he looked at me and said when you are in the ground it’s civil, then it moves to steel, mechanical and pipe through to E&I and commissioning. These trades ramp up, hold a peak, and ramp back down. There is no float there. Add float into this and you throw in a layer of confusion that can derail the entire focus based on the agenda of the one producing the float. Pipe fabrication might not be critical but not because it has float. It’s because the fabricator has a proven track record of welding 200 diameter inches a day and your production requires 100 a day. If they are only averaging 75 you have a problem. But a problem that, if you are reporting correctly, you will discover sooner rather than later and know the specifics of what you need to do to fix it. Production, not float. 

Have you questioned how offshore projects are executed? Well!! You can enjoy the video attached to have an idea. Yet, keep in mind that it is not as simple as you think! It requires a tremendous effort in engineering and extensive follow up in fabrication. It does not stop at that It requires a precise coordination for offshore installation in terms of different types of barges( Heavy lifting barge, material barge, supply barge, etc.) There are a lot more to explain, but enjoy the short tune of the video.
