5. Responsibilities :
Matrix shall arrange all the resources deemed necessary for carrying out the
works related to the piping installation, miscellaneous associated works as per
scope of work defined in sl.no.2. Matrix will also insure that adequate safety
precautions are put in place in order to carry out the job in safe manner.

Construction manager is responsible to execute the job as per M/s ALBA/.

Procedure & and approve method statement.

Supervisor / Foreman:

Ensure the welding equipment, backing oven, quiver are in good condition.
Ensure welding is done as per approved WPS and approved for construction
drawings and is line with ALBA/. . Specification and HSE requirement.
Ensure that spool drawings & weld map are available.
Coordinate with QC personnel to study the cause of any reported weld
defects and arrange to take corrective and preventive action.
Adhere to the ALBA/.HSE requirement.
 QC Inspector:

Carryout the inspection as per inspection and test plan.

Approving / rejecting the item base on inspection.
Submitting the quality record to the Client & getting their approval.
Responsible to keep records of all inspection related activities and material
traceability.
Adhere to the HSE requirements.

in language understandable by worker.
Cross checking certified material devices and equipment are used.
Do weekly, monthly HSE audit.
Ensure appropriate safety measure are taken as per the risk assessment and
controlled documents.
Ensure that all staff adhere to the HSE plan and HSE requirements.

6. Sequence of Work :

6.1 PTW issuance :

Work permit will be issued to carry out the works, along with the permit will be
attached crane certificate (if required), and approved method statement, risk
assessment, approved drawing and permission from relevant stake holder.
6.2 Safety Setup :
Arrange the require safety signs, barricades and other related safety
precautions highlighted in the risk assessment and permit prior to
commencing the work.
The work shall only commence after the job performer has checked and
ensured that all safety precaution and safety requirement are in place.
Ensure employee understand the Hazards and control measure related to
the critical activities e.g. lifting, welding etc.
Ensure personnel stay away from lifting zone and do not enter under the
suspended loads.
Qualified First Aider must be on site and identified by a sticker on his helmet.
Display emergency contact no on site.

6.3 Site Work field Joints :

Prefabricated pipe spools carefully loaded and transported to site. The

transported spool shall be tied down with ample support to prevent any
damage.

NIS prefabrication procedure refer attached Annexure-I.

Upon receiving of the Pipe / spool at site they shall be offloaded and place
either in position on pipe support or placed on ground on the top of wooden
supports. All fanged end or open end shall be cover to prevent any damage
during handling and any sand or debris from entering.

Lifting of the pipe spool shall be done either by Hiab or Suitable Crane. Third
party certified slings & riggers shall be used during the lifting operations. All
lifting tools & tackle shall be inspected & certified by third party and color
coded.

Once the Spool / Pipe lifted into the position the fabricator / pipe fitter shall
ensure that proper alignment is achieved, length of spool are correct as per
 piping lay out and isometric drawing sheet prior to bolting/welding any field
joints.

Welding and grinding of field joint shall be carry out inside a closed habitat
made of fire retardant material. Any live facilities will be cover with the fire
retardant blanket as an additional precaution.

Welding shall be done as per approved procedure, specification and

approved for construction drawings.

Approved welders for specific WPS shall be used for welding.

Welded surface shall be clean and free from grease, oil, paint or other foreign
material which are detrimental to welding.

When the weather does not permit satisfactory workmanship welding shall
not be done, on site in windy condition the pipe end shall be closed to prevent
through draughts during welding. Suitable covering using tarpaulin (fire
retardant) shall be provided. Welding shall not be done when the weld
surface is wet or when the area is exposed to rain and strongly windy
conditions. Preheating to be done properly during cold weather.

6.4 Welding of Pipe Support

As required some structural steel pipe supports are to be welded to the base
plates inserted to the precast foundation. Other pipe support are to weld to
the existing pipe support structural steel racks.

Location to be welded to be cover as required with tarpaulin.

The base plat or support shall be cleaned by grinding to remove any surface
debris or paint.

The support will then be placed in position, aligned and tack welded. One
tack welding is completed, the alignment shall be rechecked and final
welding will be carried out.

Welding shall be done based on approved welding procedure for structural

steel.
6.5 Site Work Valve Installation :
Wherever valve are to be installed the orientation / installation of the valve
handles and flow direction shall be according to the piping layout.

All valves to install will be cross checked according to the mesc number to
ensure that proper valves are installed in proper location.

Valve to be installed in the closed condition except for the ball valves & plug
valves.

New gasket will be installed between valve flange and pipe flange. Final
tightening of all nuts shall be done once proper alignment is achieved.

Bolting of Flange shall be done in cross pattern.

All bolts, gasket and valves shall be properly stored to avoid contamination
with the environment. Valve end will be sealed until installation and gaskets
and bolts shall be kept clean for any debris such as sand.

6.6 Scaffolding :

Scaffolding if required shall be erected by qualified personnel in a safe and

suitable manner.
Scaffolding above 2 m height shall be inspected by a scaffolding inspector
and a scaff-tag shall be signed and provided on the scaffolding near the
ladder. No one shall use the scaffolding without the scaff-tag being
approved.
Scaffolding material to be used shall be in good conditions.
7. QA /QC :

7.1 Weld Identification :

Each weld shall be uniquely identify with joint number and welder number.
After completing the weld welder shall mark with joint no. & welder no. near
the weld using paint or indelible crayon.
After welding each spool the line no. , spool no. etc. shall be marked
/tagged on the spool and stocked over the wooden sleepers or other
suitable material above ground.

7.2 Non Destructive Testing :

Nondestructive testing shall be done as per approved procedure using

approved subcontractor.
The extent of NDT will be in accordance with Project General Specification
for different piping systems. The acceptance criteria shall be in accordance
with ASME B 31.3.
If PWHT is applicable for any piping system, NDT shall be carried out after
completion of PWHT.
Welding record shall be maintained with proper identification of joint, welder
etc. for all joints.
NDT shall be carried out as per approved procedure and the results shall be
recorded properly.
 7.3 Repair Welding :

Any defect which require repair shall be entirely remove to sound metal. Metal
shall be removed 1 both side of the defect without substantial removal of the
base metal.
By grinding the metal shall be removed and grooved shall be smooth without
any undercut. Visual examination and DPT/MPT test shall be done on the
grove.
If repair are done after hydro test /PWHT, the same will be repeated after
repair. Welding repair shall be done only twice. After second repair if the weld
is not acceptable the weld shall be removed, re beveled and re welded.
Same NDT Technique and acceptance criteria for the original weld shall be
done after repair welding.
