With concurrent construction on various projects, does this speed things up or rather delay them? For example, insulation is applied while conducting pressure testing and leak detection; for pipes that already have insulation or those where it’s difficult to detect leaks, the insulation layer has to be removed first, inspection is carried out, and then the insulation is applied again. . .
Weld joints, as well as valve and fitting connections, need to be left unobstructed – how can insulation be applied to them all at once? Under normal circumstances, by planning the sequence of tasks in advance, the schedule can be accelerated.

The pipeline used for pressure testing and leak detection can be insulated, but the welds need to be accessible for easy leak inspection; if cross-construction is not allowed, then the specifications should not be followed. This isn’t about rushing the work; it’s the insulation company that is asking for more payment for the construction work
In principle, insulation cannot be applied without pressure testing; pressure testing checks not only the welds, valves, and fittings but also the pipes themselves
The so-called \"simultaneous construction during project development\" refers to carrying out construction in a coordinated manner, based on a well-planned schedule in advance. Take Wuhan’s Leishenshan and Huoshenshan Hospitals as an example: building a hospital with 1,000 beds for treating infectious diseases would normally take more than a year if construction were carried out step by step. However, through coordinated simultaneous construction, it was possible to complete the build in just 10 days.
That one is rather special; although it addresses the issue of efficiency, it is also necessary to discuss the investment required. ;P
Therefore, it is even more necessary to plan things reasonably, making moderate investments to achieve early benefits.
