Civil Engineer SG.’s Post

While browsing for old photos, this one reminds me of the good old days. Besides troubleshooting, I love to make sketches. Those who has worked with me may notice that I like to make sketches. Though simple, it provides more clarity and avoid confusion. This is one of many sketches I made while working as field engineer to support Construction & Commissioning phase of an EPC project. Working at field during these project stages is honestly the most challenging. You have to constantly adapt to pressure of producing ad hoc unofficial deliverables in a very short period of time (beside troubleshooting, of course!). Rewardingly, you learn and gain so much from this experience as well. Never underestimate your tasks no matter how small they are and trust the process of making yourself better. Charlie Munger used to say this - “Go to bed smarter than when you woke up”. Wise words, indeed.

👷♂️ What Do Field Engineers Really Do? 🔧 Ever wondered what it’s like to be a Field Engineer? Field Engineers are the backbone of construction projects, ensuring that everything runs smoothly on-site. Here's a sneak peek into their key responsibilities: 🔍 Problem Solvers: Field engineers identify and troubleshoot issues in real-time, making sure the project stays on track. 🛠️ Hands-On Expertise: They’re the bridge between the design and the construction teams, ensuring that what’s on paper becomes reality. 📋 Quality Control: From checking measurements to ensuring compliance with safety standards, they keep an eye on every detail. 📊 Coordination & Communication: Field engineers coordinate with various teams, making sure everyone is aligned, and the project meets deadlines. Check out the video for an inside look at a day in the life of a field engineer! 🎥 What part of their role surprises you the most?

Project Engineer

A #handover engineer is a professional who is responsible for the transition of a project or system from one phase or team to another, ensuring that all relevant information, documentation, and processes are effectively transferred and understood. This role is particularly common in fields such as telecommunications, #construction, IT, and #project_management. ### Key Responsibilities: 1. **Documentation:** Collecting and organizing all necessary documentation related to the project, including design specifications, operational procedures, and maintenance manuals. 2. **Training and Support:** Providing training to stakeholders on how to operate the project or system effectively. 3. **Quality Assurance:** Ensuring that the completed work meets the required quality standards and functional requirements before the handover takes place. 4. **Communication:** Acting as a liaison between the outgoing team and the clients to facilitate a smooth transition, addressing any concerns or questions that may arise. 5. **Project Oversight:** Monitoring the progress of the handover process to ensure that it is completed on time and in line with project goals. ### Required Skills: - Strong communication and interpersonal skills - Technical knowledge relevant to the specific project - Organizational and project management skills - Problem-solving capabilities ### Importance: The role of a handover engineer is crucial to minimize downtime, reduce errors, and ensure that the client can continue operations without disruption. Effective handovers can lead to improved efficiency and better project outcomes.

A site inspection is a thorough examination and evaluation of a property or site to identify its condition, potential issues, and compliance with regulations. Here's a comprehensive checklist: *Pre-Inspection* 1. Review project plans and specifications 2. Gather necessary equipment (e.g., measuring tape, safety gear) 3. Coordinate with site personnel and stakeholders *Reporting and Recommendations* 1. Document findings with photos and notes 2. Identify defects, deficiencies, and potential hazards 3. Provide recommendations for repairs, maintenance, or upgrades 4. Estimate costs for necessary work 5. Compile report and present findings to stakeholders *Benefits of Site Inspections* 1. Identifies potential issues before they become major problems 2. Ensures compliance with regulations and standards 3. Helps prevent accidents and injuries 4. Optimizes maintenance and repair schedules 5. Enhances property value and longevity Remember to tailor your inspection checklist to the specific site and project requirements. #project management #project engineer #senior site engineer

COMMISSIONING SYSTEMISATION BASIS. In my Previous Post I have described the importance of systemization. This is continuation of previous post and will outline the process and guidelines for systemization in the execution of pre-commissioning and Commissioning activities for a project. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Systemization involves dividing the facilities and units into systems and subsystems to facilitate construction, pre-commissioning, commissioning, and handover. The purpose is to effectively manage and track progress according to specific activity plans for each system/subsystem. Here's a breakdown of the key points: 1. Purpose of Systemization: Facilitate the execution of pre-commissioning activities. Monitor construction progress. Streamline commissioning and handover processes. 2. Basis of Systemization: Discipline scope divides. Subcontractor scope divides. Construction area boundaries. Major pressure breaks. Vendor scope boundaries. Independently commissionable systems. Specific pre-commissioning activities-based subsystems. 3. Systemization Document Contents: Identification of process and non-process systems/subsystems on P&IDs and discipline layouts. Markings for functionality, discipline scopes, interface fixing, and area-wise scope boundaries. Review by PMC/OWNER representatives with adjustments made if systems are deemed too broad or narrow. 4. Division of Facility Portions: Division into process systems, non-process systems (e.g., electrical buildings/equipment, control rooms/equipment, fire and safety items, civil construction items). Staggered issuance of systems based on the stage of engineering document (IFA or IFC stages). 5. Evaluation and Tracking: Evaluation of each system by the CONTRACTOR to determine if subdivision into subsystems is necessary. Preparation of written descriptions for each subsystem. Tracking completion status of subsystems similar to systems for overall tracking. Review of subsystems by PMC/OWNER operations representative prior to preparation of written description. Overall, the document emphasizes the importance of systematic division and tracking of facility portions to ensure smooth execution of pre-commissioning activities and successful project completion. It also allows for flexibility in adjusting boundaries as needed during the execution phase.
