The work of equipment engineers in chemical plant construction projects

2009-02-10View Original

Thread Content

In the construction of chemical plants, especially in the construction management departments, there are equipment engineers, instrumentation engineers, electrical engineers, process engineers, civil engineering engineers, etc. What tasks does an equipment engineer need to carry out? In particular, what are the main tasks of the owner’s equipment staff at the construction site? What information needs to be understood during the preliminary preparation stage? What necessary knowledge needs to be mastered? Everyone is welcome to join the discussion! ! This post was last edited by laiqi on 2009-2-10 18:59]

The explanation on the second floor is quite detailed; it actually covers the responsibilities of equipment engineers. Generally, every company has relevant documents that outline these duties. (In the case of a small company, you’ll have to do everything yourself – there’s no need to divide tasks among different people.)

Additional details: 1. Be familiar with the process flow diagrams and P&ID diagrams of production facilities. 2. Assist the construction team in handling the necessary procedures for the installation of special equipment such as boilers and pressure vessels. 3. Help supervisors complete the registration procedures for special equipment such as boilers, pressure vessels, and pressure pipelines, either before they are put into use or within 30 days after their deployment. 4. Collect and manage the factory documentation, operation and maintenance manuals, as well as other technical information related to various devices in the facility.

You’ve explained things in great detail, and your English is so good too. Are you maybe a equipment engineer at a foreign company? To be honest, our project is under construction, and what was said upstairs covers everything; in short, it’s just a matter of choosing the right equipment

Purpose/Role: To support and carry out engineering or engineering management tasks related to a project. Provide support regarding project scheduling and quality control, as well as assist in estimating resource needs. Develop and optimize processes, mechanical designs, and equipment layouts to meet client requirements. Coordinate with other teams, the client, and oversee the detailed engineering work carried out by local design firms.

Primary Responsibilities and Duties: Carry out independent design work for chemical equipment, including FEED, BED, or DED studies (as required) for plants or facilities. Prepare or review design criteria and relevant control documents based on the project execution plan before any engineering or design activities begin. Supervise the fabrication of chemical equipment or manage site operations when necessary (for PMC or EPCm projects). Provide technical guidance and oversee the design teams at CDI in order to achieve project objectives in terms of profitability, quality, safety, and schedule (for PMC or EPCm projects). Offer technical support such as drafting schematics, estimating man-hours, or quantifying work volume (as required). Carry out all work in accordance with the company’s procedures, specifications, standards, and any project-specific guidelines; comply with project instructions and company safety protocols. Arrange for the preparation of design deliverables such as data sheets, engineering drawings, schedules, and diagrams to facilitate procurement, supply, fabrication, installation, and construction. Prepare/review MRs and TBA documents, and attend vendor technical clarification meetings when needed. Provide technical assistance to the project construction team as required (e.g., evaluating subcontractors, defining scope of work, creating construction schematics, etc.). Provide input to the Project Manager E&P regarding identification of changes in the scope of work and preparation of related change orders. Maintain good communication with other teams. Keep a positive relationship with the client. Coordinate with local authorities and provide support regarding permits where necessary.
