Planning & Programming
Our company is totally committed to
the production of quality documentation, meeting all critical
elements and ensuring that the Principals are thoroughly involved in
the design, construction, and final commissioning phases of all
projects.
Our Programming and Planning Guidelines are as follows;
-
Work
Assignment -
Dividing the project into discrete work packages, each with a
nominated reviewer. Matching the work package with individual
personnel with previous experience and capabilities in the required
areas to establish the project engineer.
-
Interfaces
– The drafting staff liaise with the project engineer to establish
drawing issue covention, drawing naming and numbering, CAD file
transmission details and layering techniques.
-
Design
Inputs – The
indentification, documenting and reviewing of the design criteria
and site specific data to establish an agreed basis for each system
with the design engineer, reviewer and principal. Design inputs
include;
-
Performance and
Function requirements
- Client Specific
requirements
-
Regulatory
Authority requirements
- Applicable Codes
and Standards
Physical site data
and constraints
-
Preliminary
Design –
Planning and establishing design requirements, load extremes,
principal circuitry, major plant items and obtaining ‘approval in
principle’ from governing authorities. Specific work items
addressed are as follows;
- Design Assumptions
- Analysis of
alternatives
- Feasibility Studies
- Test Criteria to
evaluate design acceptance
-
Detailed
Design – Documenting
and specifying as follows;
- develop the
preliminary design into a package ready for tender, construction,
supervision, commissioning, and testing that will ensure design
criteria are met.
- Calculating and
analysing all relevant systems to establish sizing of pumps,
boilers, substations, cabling, chillers, cooling towers, etc.
-
Design
Output –
Ensuring that final design documents;
- have undergone
internal review and sign-off proceedures
- Incorporate all
correct client and project information
- Correctly archived
for reference
-
Site
Supervision –
Provide regular site attendance and progressively advise the client
of project progress. Specific activities undertaken are as follows;
- Check correct
materials usage, including brands and models.
- Audit all plant and
equipment, checking on capacities, makes and models, controls,
settings, and supports.
- Check site safety
measures.
- Advise client of
any non-compliances to drawings or specification.
-
Testing
& Commissioning
– Attend site with the contractor to witness and verify the
following;
- Witness the test of
all systems as required by the statutory authorities, relevant
Australian Standards and specification.
- Sign-off the
verification of test witness
- Witness the
undertaking of commissioning of each system and advise the
contractor of best methodology for process.
- Provide operator
training.
- Ensure all systems
are left operable.
