5.1 The following CCC site personnel shall be involved as responsible for the equipment
erection.
Rigging Superintendant
Equipment Supervisor
QC Engineer
QC Equipment Inspector
Surveyor
5.2 Section Engineer is over all responsible for monitoring equipment erection operation
in accordance with the procedures, specification and construction drawing.
5.3 QC Inspectors in conjunction with the QC Engineer are responsible for the inspection
in accordance with specification and procedure of the equipment erection and the
compilation of equipment reports and records as per required ITP.
5.4 The equipment supervisor shall be responsible for the safe operation and quality of
work and shall ensure that the procedures are adhered to and that technical standard
are maintained.
5.5 The rigging superintendent is responsible for all rigging operation that includes off
loading, transporting, and erection and for the selection of proper crane capacity and

5.6 The surveyor is responsible for checking elevations and verticality as per construction
drawing.
6.0 PROCEDURE
6.1.1 All equipment received at site shall be inspected in accordance with vendors
instruction for site storage, installation and preservation.
6.1.2 Equipment shall be off loaded from trailer using the vendor recommended
lifting point and approved techniques.
6.1.3 All loose items that are not required for immediate installation shall be suitably
identified and retained in the stores.
6.1.4 Protective covers on all equipments shall be removed if they appear damage
and equipment inspected before replacing the cover, if any damage has
occurred, Discrepancy report shall be issued with photograph showing
damages as necessary and recorded.
DOC NO: MS-834-164
6.2.1 Equipment shall be unpacked in presence of JGC field Engineer and vendor
supervisor. All spare parts and tools shall be unpacked clearly marked with
equipment numbers and stored in the warehouse. Fragile parts such as level
oiler, capillary tubes, small piping shall be removed from the equipment after
match marked and stored. The parts shall be clearly identified by the tags with
equipment number.
6.2.2 All machined surfaces shall be checked and applied with rust-preventatives.
6.2.3 The equipment should not be placed directly on the earth, wooden blocks to
be used in horizontal position.
6.2.4 All couplings shall be uncoupled and coupling elements shall be clearly
marked with equipment numbers matching the shaft hub and stored in the
warehouse while applying corrosion inhibitor and densso tape.
6.2.5 After checking the equipment and confirming that there are no discrepancies,
equipment shall be stored or delivered to installation site as and when
required.
6.2.6 Bottom of the base plate shall be cleaned or wiped by suitable means of
desiccant to remove mud oil or grease before installation.
6.3.2 Chipping of foundation will be carried out for setting of pad plates for the jack
screws as per the elevation given by M.H.I drawing and after setting to correct
elevation it will be grouted.
6.3.3 After the above activities are completed equipment will be set on foundation
and preliminary alignment will take place like leveling of the base plate using
a straight edge and precision level which will satisfied the following condition:
6.3.3.1 A axial direction level on the both sides of the bearing pedestals shall
be within tolerance of 0.2mm/m.
6.3.3.2 A axial direction level on the exhaust side journal shall be within a
tolerance of 0.2mm/m etc.
DOC NO: MS-834-164
6.3.4 When the leveling and centering of the base plate have been completed all
foundation bolts shall be precisely tightened other wise if tighten too strongly
the level and centering might be disturbed the above measuring points for the
leveling and centering should be retain for future reference then the
compressor should be released for grouting.
6.3.6 During the alignment work the distance between shafts will be measured
often and checked within a tolerance of 0.5mm if it exceeds the limitation will
be made by moving the compressor.
6.3.7 While the shaft distance is measured each shaft should be moved towards
the active side thurst bearing in order to put it at the expecting operating
position.
6.3.8 Regular preservation will be carried out as per below mentioned sequence:
the shaft of compressor shall be rotated biweekly and recorded in the
equipment preservation and maintain log summary (attached) spare rotating
elements shall be stored indoors and per the manufactures recommendation.
After installation the above compressor will be protected as follows:
6.3.8.2 Cover on the suction and discharge nozzle it shall be remain in place
until hydrostatic testing and flushing of connecting piping is
completed blinds are to have tabs, which clearly identify the blinds in
the line activity # 4.
6.3.8.3 Space heater connection will be applied to electrical motor which has
a space heater to prevent accumulation of moisture whether in
storage area or at final installation. The electrical motors shall be
checked for insulation resistance before operation.
6.4.1 For compressor after Hydrotest activity completed and reinstatement of all
piping spools. The parallelism of flanges discharge and suction shall be
checked with equipment nozzles.
6.4.2 Final alignment using dial indicators by reverse alignment method or face rim
method will be used. Coupling shall not be installed until after the no load test
for the drivers is completed.
6.4.3 Oiler cans and all lubrication system shall be checked to assure, no leak on all
tubing.
6.4.4 All coupling guards should be in place to prevent any accident with the
running parts.
6.4.5 All equipment shall be barricaded and provided with warning signs, when its
energized.

7.0 SAFETY
7.1 Job safety analysis attached.
7.3 Work at height full body harness shall be used with 100%Tie off.
7.4 Make sure access completely safe on scaffolding with green tag.
7.5 All warning signs shall be fixed in proper location to ensure personnel safety.
7.8 MSD sheets for chemicals used will be available and persons performing work
