During the equipment installation phase, how to learn on-site?*

There is so much to learn during the equipment installation phase: knowledge of civil engineering, the internal structure of equipment, pipe installation, standards for on-site pipe layout, as well as aspects related to equipment and pipe accessories.

1. First, become familiar with the process flow and memorize all the technical information. Second, be eager to learn and ask questions; both engineers and workers are teachers from whom we can learn. 2. Learn the relevant standards and consult plenty of materials; it is necessary to review various standards, work instructions, construction plans, etc. Since the standards for industrial pipelines differ from those for ordinary pipelines – such as the standards for toxic fuels in the petrochemical industry – it is required to study each standard individually, using design reference materials. 3. Welding knowledge: As mentioned by other netizens earlier, industrial pipelines require high standards regarding the quality of welding; generally, the proportion of inspections is as high as 20%. Therefore, it is necessary to learn welding knowledge on-site in order to understand what constitutes a qualified weld and what does not. 4. Piping single-line diagrams – I think this is a minor issue, but many technicians don’t know how to draw them; they aren’t sure what should be included in such diagrams. Only by drawing one yourself can you understand what problems exist and what needs to be included. 5. Keep a construction log daily. Plan in advance what you need to do. 6. It is about communication – maintaining good relations with supervisors and clients, as well as with the workers involved in the work. Under no circumstances should outsourced personnel be suppressed. Since the project isn’t done by you alone, it requires the joint efforts of everyone, which means you need to coordinate various resources to put them to use for your purposes. 7. First, master a specialty by taking things step by step. Growth is a process.

The friend on the 3rd floor made a very valid point. As someone who was once new to the client side and as someone who may still be involved in engineering projects, I’d like to offer some additional tips on things to keep in mind for reference: 1. Thoroughly understand process design; if you lack the necessary foundation, take the time to learn it. Make an effort to identify the key points in the construction process and keep track of the details of the installation work. For example, whether the layout of pipes and valves and their installation locations are reasonable, and whether construction is carried out in accordance with standards ； Is there any shoddy workmanship during the civil engineering process? . . 2. Carefully examine the image on the home page, write down the standard number, and look up the specific details. (There are many standards in the sea channel industry; give it a try.) Record the data according to the standards, in line with the construction process. 3. Carry out equipment acceptance work carefully. Create a record, and if necessary, use a camera to take pictures of the internal structure. Conduct surveying and mapping work on some components that may be used in the future. 4. Seek the opinions of front-line operators more often when making decisions. Some changes can be made if necessary. 5. Set aside some time to learn about those devices that you haven’t worked with before or that have undergone changes. For example, if the original design called for a water-cooled air compressor but an air-cooled one was actually purchased, then a forced exhaust fan needs to be considered. 6. Close attention should be paid to the pressing and testing processes, and strict adherence to the regulations is required. Otherwise, the employees will scold you later. 7. Reiterating what was mentioned earlier, as the client party, it is also necessary to develop a good habit of keeping records. It facilitates easy reference and also helps to reasonably avoid post-event liability. 8. If you have the ability and time, you can try to create 3D models of network devices within your management area based on the floor plan. It enables better confirmation of the engineering quantities, which will also be convenient for future use. 9. Do not engage in private “communication” with Party B lightly. 10. Whenever possible, take the opportunity to review more drawings across different specialties, assist senior engineers, and learn more knowledge. 11. Do not issue on-site visas lightly. 12. Seek advice humbly from specialists; the capable individuals from Party B can also become friends, as long as it does not violate any principles.

As the representative of the client, I would like to add the following: 1. Pipelines generally involve water, electricity, steam, compressed air, ventilation, and systems related to environmental protection (in chemical enterprises). 2. It is essential to follow the relevant standards. 3. One must be present during the pressure test. 4. Hidden works must have a clear wiring diagram. 5. The visa must be co-signed (do not take on someone else’s responsibilities)

1. Learn about equipment performance, fault handling, and maintenance methods； 2. Learn equipment installation specifications and acceptance standards ； 3. Learn equipment installation methods and techniques ； 4. Learn piping methods ； 5. Study engineering management.

I’ve learned too much. . . For the installation of equipment and the connection of pipes, it’s mainly important to know what needs to be done; one can also consider why it is done that way

The equipment installation phase is an excellent opportunity to learn; it allows one to observe the structure of towers and reactors, and to study them in conjunction with process flow diagrams and equipment installation drawings. This helps to gain a deeper understanding of the principles behind the production processes of these devices, as well as the flow of materials, which is very useful for starting up the equipment for trial operation and lays a solid foundation for future production and process management.

1. Try every possible way to obtain the equipment’s manuals (I managed to get many manuals during the equipment installation phase). 2. Take time to go to the site and check things out when I’m free. Some equipment rooms are shipped separately and need to be assembled on-site; they can be seen when there’s no work to do. 3. Try to go to the site as often as possible; some equipment cannot be installed, and the manufacturer’s staff will come, so ask them if you have any questions.

During the equipment installation phase, the most important tasks are to monitor the site, coordinate relationships among all parties involved, understand the drawings and design specifications, compare them with relevant standards, and maintain frequent communication with representatives from construction teams, designers, and manufacturers.
