6.

For the cubic yardage of excavation that has a high water content, use a 1.8 multiplier. This allows for
excavated material that falls back into excavated site.

7.

Make appropriate adjustments to base work hour units when soil conditions become more densely filled
with boulder material.

8.

All sitework clearing based on onsite disposal (see various categories for allowable distances).

9.

For any activities required which are not included in this section, see Means, Richardson or other recognized

Work hour units include receiving, unloading, retrieval, hauling, rigging to position,
shimming to elevation, leveling, aligning, lubricating, bumping for rotation check and
installing guards.
Work hour units include field-engineering time to establish centerlines and bench marks.
Work hours are applicable for single stage and two stage. For multi-stage horizontal
centrifugal pumps, add 10%.
Work hours are for pump and driver assembled on a common base.
Centrifugal pumps can be split into two main types in process plant service: volute
pumps and turbine pumps. The former are more common (the volute, which is also called
the diffuser, is shaped like a cone. It widens out and converts the velocity imparted to the
liquid by the impeller, to feet of head). Turbine pumps have improved through the
development of the innovative variable vane design that requires fewer moving parts.
Positive displacement pumps can be divided into two major categories: reciprocating
and rotating. Reciprocating positive displacement pumps incorporate a plunger or piston
that displaces, or feeds forward, a given volume of fluid per stroke. These can be
identified in two basic classes: Dynamic pumps impart energy to the liquid in a steady
fashion; Displacement pumps impart energy to the liquid in a pulsating fashion. Metering
pumps are a subgroup of the positive displacement type and should be considered as
precision instruments used to feed accurately a predetermined volume of liquid into a
process or system. Rotary pumps consist of two meshing gears, where fluid is carried
between the gear teeth and displaced when they mesh.
Work hours for Vacuum pumps are based on individual rotary piston, oil-sealed, singlestage mechanical type, the unit most commonly used for high-vacuum work (sometimes
called a cam and piston pump).
API pumps differ from ANSI pumps in the following respects:

API pumps have greater corrosion allowances

API pumps have higher permissible nozzle loads

API pumps have more available stuffing box space

API pumps are furnished with wear rings; not always supplied with ANSI pumps

API pumps are centerline-mounted; ANSI pumps are often foot mounted

API pump bearing housings are generally fitted with higher load capacity
bearings and higher life expectancy end seals
For vibration isolators, add the following:

Roller Conveyors are ideal for conveying open and uneven bottom objects such as skids,
buckets, drums and cans. They can also be used with flat bottom objects. A minimum of
three rollers should always be under the smallest object being conveyed, so that the object
will not tip over or get caught between rollers.
Roller Conveyors are typically installed in a level, horizontal position, with no noticeable
vertical deflection.

PIPING UNIT WORK HOURS


A. GENERAL NOTES
1.

The piping erection work hours in this section may need to be supplemented with the following
categories by means of a percentage adder, where they are deemed applicable:

2.

Unload and store (initial delivery only)


Shoes, Guides & Hangers
- Non-Engineered (base ells, angle, plate, u-bolts, etc.)
- Engineered (spring supports)
Hydrotest/Punchout

Consideration for the following difficulties in the erection of piping systems may require additional
work hours:

Multi-level piperacks
Unusual congestion
High elevation

3.

Work hour units for piping are based on in-place operations, with an adjustment for weld bay
applications. This appears as a note in the applicable sections. For definition purposes, in-place
denotes an activity that takes place at the actual erection location. Weld bay on the other hand,
denotes an activity that takes place in a controlled environment, usually away from the erection
location. The adjustment takes into account the expected improvement in production. The weld bay
adjustment is typically applicable to those projects where the execution philosophy determines that
onsite fabrication is more cost effective than utilizing third-party fabrication facilities. This usually
applies to international projects with remote locations. To determine when this philosophy is
applicable, consult Project Management and appropriate Construction department representative.

4.

When estimating linear feet (LF) of pipe, measurement must be taken through all fittings, flanges,
valves, instruments, specialty items and any other in-line appurtenances.

5.

For field erection of some materials, a factory representative may be required. If so, this cost must
be added into the estimate. To verify installation requirements, consult Piping lead engineer.

6.

If internal shot-blast cleaning of pipe is required in the field, this cost must be added into the
estimate. This is typically a sub-contract cost.

7.

Work hour units do not include any time for assisting sub-contractors.

8.

There are no specific tables in this section for flanged fitting steel piping systems. Where required,
the appropriate pipe erection work hours (fabricated spools or straight run) should be used with the
appropriate flange rating work hours for bolt-ups.

9.

There are no specific tables in this section for flanged plastic-lined steel piping systems. These are
specially engineered and always unique. To estimate the erection of these systems, use the pipe
erection work hours for fabricated spools and the appropriate flange rating work hours for bolt-ups.
Special supports and hangers are usually required for these applications. To verify fabrication and
installation requirements, consult Piping lead engineer.

PIPING UNIT WORK HOURS


A. GENERAL NOTES cont.
10. There are no specific tables in this section for jacketed piping systems. These are specially
engineered and always unique. The jacketing application is usually for one of two purposes to
keep the medium in the core pipe at a consistent temperature or to act as a double containment
system to control leaks. Temperature control is usually achieved through the use of steam or hot
oil.

If jacketed system is flanged, use pipe erection work hours for fabricated spools at jacket
size and the appropriate flange rating for bolt-ups at the jacket size.
If jacketed system is welded, use pipe erection work hours for fabricated spools at jacket
size and applicable buttweld work hours for core size, wall thickness and metallurgy. Care
should be taken with jacket welding usually a one foot section has been cut out and split
in half to allow access for the core pipe buttweld. After testing of the core pipe is
complete, the jacket pipe must be welded around the circumference at each end and along
the seam on both sides. The estimator must use the Longitudinal Welding work hour units
for these types of welds. To verify fabrication and installation requirements, consult
Piping lead engineer.

11. When erecting cement lined pipe, add 10% to the base work hour units for special handling and
additional weight.
12. For underground pressure piping systems, thrust blocks at each fitting location must be included as
required per client specification.
13. For any excavation, backfill or concrete activities, see appropriate sections:

OLET WELD NOTES


1.

Work hour units include handling of equipment, set-up, operation and disassemble, at erection
site.

2.

Work hour units include layout, cutting and welding.

3.

Work hour units are for Thredolets (threaded branches up to 4), Sockolets (socketweld
branches up to 4), Nipolets (plain-end or threaded-end nipple-type branch up to 2) and
Weldolets (butt weld branches up to 24).

4.

For Elbolets or Latrolets, multiply standard units by 1.5 (Elbolets are outlets on 90 elbows
threaded and socketweld up to 2, butt weld up to 4; Latrolets are 45 branch connections
threaded and socketweld up to 2, butt weld up to 4).

5.

For Sweepolets, multiply standard units by 3.0 (Sweepolets are similar to Weldolets but with
more area replacement - butt weld branches up to 24).

6.

Work hour unit selection should be based on the outlet size and wall thickness except when
the header wall thickness is greater than the outlet wall thickness, in which case the selection
should be based on the outlet size and the header wall thickness.

7.

Work hour units are for welding in-place. For weld bay, multiply standard units by 80%.

4.

Work hour units are provided for each manufacturers most commonly used style, in the size
range available. Other coupling manufacturers include Grayloc and Dur-o-lok. These different
couplings are not interchangeable. Their use is for specific applications that must be
identified. To determine which is applicable, consult Piping lead engineer.

5.

In some instances, Dresser Couplings require the use of a Dresser Joint Harness. These are
steel tie-bolts, diametrically opposite, which extend across the joint from lugs welded to the
pipe on either side of the joint. Joint Harnesses are particularly effective on unanchored bends
subject to pulsating pressures of sharp intensity. To verify installation requirements, consult
Piping lead engineer. The standard unit work hours above do not include the installation of
these and must be added to the estimate.

2.

Work hour units include layout, cutting and deburring, bending, compression joints and
securing tubing to pipeline.

3.

A common system will consist of one or more bare tubing tracers placed parallel to the line
being protected. The tubing is kept in close contact with the pipeline by wiring or banding so
that good heat transfer is achieved. Maximum heat transfer is achieved by bonding the tubing
to the pipeline by means of heat transfer cement. To verify installation requirements, consult
Piping lead engineer.

The total linear footage of tubing required per pipeline is equal to the linear footage of pipe
(as measured through all fittings, flanges, valves, instruments, specialty items and any other
in-line appurtenances) plus the equivalent tubing length for each valve associated with the
pipeline. This requirement is due to the valve being wrapped or coiled to ensure complete
protection. Tubing unions are used in the tubing run at the valve flanges to allow for valve
removal or replacement. The following table provides the approximate tubing length in feet
for valves by size, based on an industry standard from a major manufacturer:

The number of tracers required is determined by the combination of steam pressure, desired
process temperature and diameter of the pipeline. When this information is available, refer to
the project specific standard for the exact tracer quantity. The following table may be used as
a generic go-by when the available steam pressure and/or desired process temperature is not
known:

The tracer quantity is a critical component of the steam tracing system cost because for each
tracer there is a branch connection from a steam supply header or manifold that includes a
valve, steam trap and strainer. This cost can be quite significant based on the overall number
of tracers required. The branch connection on the condensate return manifold or header is
only a valve, but this cost can become significant also.

6.

Due to maintaining the required process temperature and because of heat loss, the maximum
tracer length is typically 200 feet. For example, a 500 foot long pipeline, single traced, would
require three tracers (500 + 200 = 2.5 = 3). Each tracer is separately connected to a supply and
return manifold or header.

7.

A separate branch off of a steam supply manifold or header supplies each tracer. Initially, hot
steam is dry but as it cools, it becomes wet or forms condensate. This condensate can be
removed by trapping it to a drain system or to an individual branch on a condensate return
manifold or header. Pre-insulated tubing or jumpers are used between the bare tubing
tracers and both supply and return manifolds or headers.

8.

Due to temperature limitations, copper tubing is typically used up to 400 F and stainless steel
tubing used for higher temperatures. The following table provides the temperatures for
various steam pressure systems:
Steam system
50#
75#
100#

338

406

If any equipment and/or instruments require steam tracing, the required footage and tracer
count must be quantified and added into the piping account.

10. The steam-traced line is typically insulated to further improve and maintain the heating
capability of the tubing tracer. The terminations at each end of the jumpers (supply from
steam manifold branch to tracer inlet & return from tracer outlet to condensate manifold
branch) should be accounted for and included in the Insulation account.
11. Other types of tracing systems in the piping account include hot oil, glycol and brine. Electric
tracing required for piping systems is included in the Electrical account.
12. For an all-inclusive work hour unit consisting of tubing (both bare and pre-insulated) and
tubing fittings, for either copper or stainless steel material, inclusive of handling, bending,
cutting and deburring, compression joints and securing to pipeline, use 0.40 WHs/LF.
13. For any activities which are not included in this section, see Means, Richardson, or other
recognized estimating publications.

5.

Cast Iron Soil Pipe is classified into two major types hub & spigot and hubless (No Hub).
Hubless cast iron soil pipe is made in only one class or thickness, ranging in size from 1
to 10. Hub & Spigot cast iron soil pipe is available in two classes or thicknesses Service
(SV) and Extra Heavy (XH), ranging in size from 2 to 15. Because the additional wall
thickness is added to the outside diameter of the Extra Heavy (XH), it and the Service (SV)
pipe have different O.D.s and are not readily interchangeable. The Hubless and Service
(SV) pipe weigh about the same. The pipe weight per LF above is Service (SV)/No-Hub.

Copper Pipe is available in seven types, according to ASTM standards: K, L, M, DWV


(Drain, Waste and Vent), Medical Gas, ACR (Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Field
Services) and G (Natural Gas and Propane Fuel Distribution). Each type represents a series
of sizes with different wall thicknesses. Type K has thicker walls than Type L, and Type L
walls are thicker than Type M, for any given diameter. The pipe weight per LF above is
Type K. Types K, L and M are available in diameters up through 12.

6.

The selection of solder depends primarily on the operating pressure and temperature of the
system. The 50-50 tin-lead solder is suitable for moderate pressures and temperatures. For
higher pressures, or where greater joint strength is required, 95-5 tin-antimony solder can
be used. For continuous operation at temperatures exceeding 250F or where the highest
joint strength is required, brazing filler metals should be used.

7.

High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Pipe is available in various Standard Dimension Ratio
(SDR) classifications. Each SDR has its own pressure rating identification. The SDR system
is a specific ratio of the nominal outside diameter to the minimum specified wall thickness.
The nine basic classifications are SDR 7 (265 psi); SDR 9 (200 psi); SDR 11 (160 psi);
SDR 13.5 (130 psi); SDR 15.5 (110 psi); SDR 17 (100 psi); SDR 21 (80 psi); SDR 26 (65
psi); and SDR 32.5 (50 psi). Each classification represents a series of sizes with different
wall thicknesses. SDR 7 has thicker walls than SDR 9, SDR 9 walls are thicker than SDR
11, and so on, for any given diameter. The pipe weight per LF above is SDR 17.

identification. The SDR system is a specific ratio of the nominal outside diameter to the
minimum specified wall thickness. The two classifications are SDR 11 (160 psi) and SDR
32.5 (50 psi). Each classification represents a series of sizes with different wall thicknesses.
SDR 11 has thicker walls than SDR 32.5, for any given diameter. The pipe weight per LF
above is SDR 11.

8.

Poly VinyliDene Fluoride (PVDF), more commonly referred to as KYNAR, is a strong,


tough and abrasive resistant fluorocarbon material. Its recommended temperature range is
-40 to 320 F. Its weight per LF can vary higher than polypropylene but the work hour
units above will apply to this material also.

Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) Pipe is characterized by high physical properties and resistance
to corrosion and chemical attack by acids, alkalis, salt solutions and many other chemicals.
It is attacked, however, by polar solvents such as ketones, some chlorinated hydrocarbons
and aromatics. The maximum service temperature is 140 F and is available in either
schedule 40 or 80. Each classification represents a series of sizes with different wall
thicknesses. The pipe weight per LF above is S/80.

Shell: greatest circumference times straight length or height
Elliptical heads (noncircular most common is a 2:1 ratio): greatest diameter squared
(squaring provides coverage for the elliptical shape)
Hemispherical heads (circular): diameter squared times pi (3.1416), then divide by two
11. For removal of paint coatings, multiply the appropriate work hour unit above times 3.0. Disposal of
material generated during the removal process is not included.

INSULATION NOTES
1.

All work hour units include unload, storage and handling to erection site.

2.

All work hour units are based on in-place work from Grade to 20'. For elevated work, add the
following to the above work hour units:
Over 20' to 50'
Over 50' to 100'
Over 100'

20%
35%
50%

3.

Applications below minus 150 degrees F are termed cryogenic; those above 1500 degrees F are
termed refractory; these categories are not included in these work hour units.

4.

The use of insulation materials to absorb noise emitted from piping and equipment is classified as
noise abatement; this application is not included in these work hour units.

5.

Insulation thickness for all materials are available in increments. The use of whole sizes for
HOT and half sizes for COLD was done intentionally to emphasize the differences between their
respective applications. For any thickness required that is not listed, simply use the midpoint
between the lower and higher thickness columns.

6.

For all types of HOT Pipe insulation (Glass Fiber, Mineral Wool and Calcium Silicate), the work
hour units are based on the following erection method:
Pipe cover is secured with 16-gage wire on 9-inch centers. Weatherproof jacket with moisture
barrier is secured with wide by 0.015 inch thick SS bands and seals on 9-inch centers.

7.

For all types of COLD Pipe insulation (Cellular Glass and Polyurethane), the work hour units are
based on the following erection method:
Joints are buttered with joint sealer. Pipe cover is secured with fiberglass tape on piping 4
inches OD (Outside Diameter) and smaller spaced on 9-inch centers. On piping above 4 inches
OD, use wide by 0.015 inch thick SS bands and seals spaced on 9-inch centers. Vapor
barrier mastic (3/16 Total Wet Film) reinforced with polyester fabric. Weatherproof jacket
with moisture barrier is secured with wide by 0.015 inch thick SS bands and seals on 9inch centers.

8.

For all types of HOT Equipment insulation (Glass Fiber, Mineral Wool and Calcium Silicate), the
work hour units are based on the following erection method:
Shell cover (blanket or block) is applied with staggered joint arrangement. Top and bottom
edges are securely tied over support rings with wire on 12-inch centers. Vertical and horizontal
seams are laced together by interlocking the wire mesh and with wire ties where necessary.
The insulation is secured in place with bands spaced on 12-inch centers.
Head cover is shaped so that all sections closely fit the contour of the head and are laced
together with wire, or are secured with bands on 12-inch centers at tangent line. Exposed head
cover is secured with bands attached to a round steel rod, with a floating ring on the top
and a circumferential band at the tangent line of the vessel head. Unexposed head cover is
secured with wire to insulation supports provided by the vessel manufacturer.
Weatherproof jacket on vertical equipment is supported on S-clips spaced on 4-foot centers.
The jacketing for vertical and horizontal equipment is secured with bands spaced on 12-inch
centers with one band at each circumferential lap. On vertical equipment, band loops are
included on each band to prevent vertical movement. Weatherproof jacket on exposed vessel
heads is a flat metal sheet cut into pie pieces and secured with screws on 3-inch centers.

9.

For all types of COLD Equipment insulation (Cellular Glass and Polyurethane), the work hour
units are based on the following erection method:
Shell cover (block) is applied with staggered joint arrangement. Joints are buttered with joint
sealer. In double layer applications, the inner layer is applied without joint sealer. Each layer is
secured with bands on 12-inch centers. Outer layer joints are offset from inner layer joints.
Vapor barrier is outer layer only. Joints are sealed with a foil-to-mylar 3-inch wide strip
applied over the vapor barrier. Contraction joints are included as 1 wide, packed with 2 of
fiberglass blanket material, on 12-foot maximum centers.
Head cover is shaped so that all sections closely fit the contour of the head. Joints are buttered
with joint sealer. In double layer applications, the inner layer is applied without joint sealer. .
Exposed head cover is secured with bands attached to a round steel rod, with a floating ring
on the top and a circumferential band at the tangent line of the vessel head. Unexposed head
cover is secured with wire to insulation supports provided by the vessel manufacturer.
Weatherproof jacket on vertical equipment is supported on S-clips spaced on 4-foot centers.

DEMOLITION UNIT WORK HOURS


CAUTION! - This section should be used as a general guideline when developing work hours for a
demolition scope of work. Typically, it is more accurate to develop demolition hours from a crew
basis methodology, due to the potential volume fluctuations in any given category. Thus, the use of
the units below could over- or under-exaggerate the true effort required. Also, the categories below
represent only those areas in which there has been sufficient Fluor Daniel history to support their
inclusion in this manual. For any activities not listed below, consult the appropriate erection work

FINAL PHASES OF CONSTRUCTION


The intent of this section is to provide the estimator with generic guidelines for the final phases of the
construction work under a contract. It covers mechanical completion, turnover, commissioning,
startup, performance testing and final acceptance.
I. OVERVIEW
SCOPE
There is a typical breakdown of the division of responsibilities between Fluor and the Client for
operations during these final phases of the construction work. This section does not contain all items
required to perform field checkout, and is not intended for such use. Where Fluor is the Managing
Contractor, a further breakdown may be needed. Requirements in these final phases vary widely from
contract to contract and specific contractual provisions have precedence over material herein. The
Project Manager and the Construction Manager must be familiar with the requirements in their
particular contract related to these final phases and plan and prepare for their execution well in advance
of the completion of construction. The Proposal Manager must see that the scope of work and the
estimate both cover these final phases of the work, when applicable, and are consistent with one
another.
DEFINITIONS
Mechanical Completion generally means that the facility (plant, unit, system of any part thereof) has
been erected in accordance with drawings, specifications, applicable codes and regulations, including
all tests and checks necessary to permit commencement of commission and startup operations by the
Client.
Turnover is the process of transferring principal responsibility of the plant, unit, or any part thereof,
from Fluor to the Client. This activity generally involves formal transfer of care, custody and control to
the Client.
Commissioning consists of activities associated with the operation of items of equipment or facilities in
preparation for plant startup and introduction of feed stock. These activities are the Clients
responsibility unless the contract specifically provides otherwise. Note that the word commissioning
in electrical contracts has a different context. It means all work necessary to energize the equipment,
normally performed by Fluor (or subcontractor) prior to turnover to the Client.
Startup commences when steps are taken to introduce feed stocks and bring the unit/plant to operating
pressure and temperature. It is complete when the unit/facility is operating at design capacity and
producing to specifications as determined by performance testing. Startup activities are the Clients
responsibility unless the contract specifically provides otherwise.
Performance Tests are limited periods of operation of a facility/unit to demonstrate that it will produce
product of the quality and quantity guaranteed by Fluor or a Licensor.
Final Acceptance is the documentation that the work under the contract has been completed and is
accepted by the Client.

FINAL PHASES OF CONSTRUCTION


I. OVERVIEW cont.
MECHANICAL COMPLETION
Mechanical completion is generally declared at the stage of the work where the construction crew has
essentially completed the installation and a shift in primary emphasis and responsibility from Fluor
Daniel to the Client is desired and agreed upon by the parties. Incomplete work and deficiencies, if any,
will be identified with the declaration of mechanical completion. Any completed unit or definable
entity may be agreed to be mechanically complete independently of the status of the remainder of the
work. Prior to mechanical completion any commissioning/startup activities must be subordinated to the
work of construction. After mechanical completion, the commissioning/startup operations will have
priority over the construction work and the latter must necessarily be limited.
It is a requisite to mechanical completion that all equipment, piping, instrumentation and electrical
systems be installed. It is desirable that all specification required adjustments and tests for which the
construction crew is responsible be completed prior to declaring mechanical completion. For electrical
systems, all tests, relay setting and checkouts must be completed prior to energization. However, some
activities require that equipment be hot, energized, or actually running, so it is usual to retain a small
crew of millwrights, electricians and others to accomplish that work after mechanical completion under
the supervision of the Client during the commissioning or startup phase. Usually, mechanical
completion is agreed upon while there is still some insulation and painting to be done, the area must still
undergo final cleanup, scaffolding and temporary structures must be removed, and the construction
crew and equipment must be demobilized.
The mechanical checkout is conducted by the construction group and usually verified by members of
the Client team. It should include a review of reports of tests conducted by the construction group and
subcontractors such as pressure tests, electrical measurements, loop checks, and rotational direction
checks to assure that all items have been covered. Detailed inspection tours should be made to
determine that: features affected by flow direction (such as meters) are properly oriented; facilities for
by-passing, blocking and blinding are properly located; temporary blinds and other provisions required
only for testing have been removed; and any other mechanical condition which may delay or complicate
the startup has been properly accommodated. For some contracts, a licensor may be involved in
checkout.
Fluor Daniel process and instrumentation personnel conduct the final P&ID check sometimes with
members of the Client startup crew. It is a line-by-line, feature-by-feature check of the installation
against the mechanical flow sheets and thoroughness is essential to minimize commissioning and
startup difficulties and delays. It must be conducted prior to mechanical completion so the construction
crew may correct any discrepancies uncovered.
It is generally advantageous that mechanical completion be agreed upon as early as practical, but it is a
definite disadvantage to have any appreciable construction personnel finishing up construction work
during commissioning or startup operations. The Project and Construction Managers must consider
both factors before requesting or agreeing to a declaration of mechanical completion.
Notice of mechanical completion is usually formal notice to the Client that commissioning operations
can commence.

I. OVERVIEW cont.
TURNOVER
Turnover is the sequence of events leading to transfer of principal responsibility for a unit or system
from the construction crew to a Client commissioning or startup crew. It is the demarcation between
the construction phase and commissioning/startup operations. Under many contracts, this is the point at
which transfer of care, custody and control is made to the Client. Transfer of care, custody and control
of work done by subcontractors must be done as specified in the subcontract terms.
Even when the commissioning/startup is done by Fluor personnel, there should be a formal transfer and
acceptance of responsibility at this point. Insurance coverage may be altered at this point and certain
payments may also be dependent thereon. The Project Manager must see that any such matters related
to this point of progress are properly administered.
COMMISSIONING
The commissioning phase of the work generally commences shortly before plant mechanical
completion and terminated prior to the introduction of feed stock. It may include final checkout and
cleanup, run-ins, charging of catalysts, flushing, purging, and energizing systems.
Crews for commissioning operations may consist entirely of Fluor personnel, entirely of Clients
personnel, or a mixture of the two. General responsibility for this phase of the work will be established
by the contract, but it is most important that the make-up of the crews for each activity be established
early and that responsibilities for specific functions be agreed upon and established.
Flushing of the process equipment and piping with oil (water or other liquids in Chemical plants), and
blowing out of air and steam lines to remove dirt, welding slag and other construction debris will reduce
startup difficulties. The run-in of mechanical equipment, whether conducted by Fluor or Client crews,
is an important prelude to startup. The manufacturers recommendations should be closely followed
and all possible adjustments of alarms, controls and auxiliary equipment should be made during the runins.
STARTUP
Startup commences when steps are taken to introduce feed stocks and to bring the system/unit/plant to
operating pressure and temperature. It is complete when the unit/plant is operating at design capacity
and producing to specifications as determined by performance testing. These operations are the
responsibility of and accomplished under the direction of the Client.
Thorough planning and preparation are essential to a successful startup. Preparations should include a
review of prior documentation to insure that mechanical and flowsheet checkout occurred prior to
mechanical completion, that the equipment and piping has been thoroughly flushed, and that the
commissioning phase is complete.
With thorough preparations having been made, the introduction of feed stocks, lighting-off of fires, and
initiation of circulation can proceed. The Operating Manuals of the process designer and of vendors
afford detailed instructions for each step of the startup, and the startup crew must become intimately
familiar with them well in advance and during dry-runs and run-ins. The startup should proceed in
orderly steps and with deliberate speed, with all feasible checking between each step.

I. OVERVIEW cont.
PERFORMANCE TESTS
Performance test are usually run after the completion of startup operations and conducted by the
Clients production crew with Fluor and any involved Licensor being represented. Performance tests
may not be required under all contracts.
Performance tests, when required, are prerequisites to final acceptance, and often to final payments to
Fluor. Frequently, there is little or no incentive for the Client to expedite performance test runs and the
Project Manager must be diligent in his efforts to get them successfully completed.
It is necessary to take confirming data during the tests. Critical instruments should be calibrated
immediately prior to the test run. There should be prior agreement on what data will be determined and
reported, as well as the condition under which the test will be conducted. The methods of taking and
analyzing samples often prove critical to the success of a test run. The means of calculating and
evaluating results should also be agreed upon in advance.

FINAL ACCEPTANCE
Final Acceptance usually is initiated by a Project Manager prepared Notice of Completion letter to the
Client stating that Fluors work has been completed and requesting acceptance thereof.
Portions of the work may be subject to individual letters of acceptance if the Client wishes to take
control of them in advance of overall completion. A formal acceptance of the overall work should be
requested even if piece-meal acceptance of the many elements of work has been exercised. Fluor
acceptance of (sub) contractors work shall be as prescribed by the (sub) contract terms.
Final acceptance may be in order after mechanical completion, after initial operations, or only after
completion of performance testing. In any case the Project Manager must prepare the letter requesting
acceptance promptly when it is in order, and he must follow-up until the Clients acceptance is
received.
