Engineering, Procurement and Construction are highly correlated and set precedence against each other. They are very interdependent and these dependencies become increasingly critical as the phases are overlapped. In this module we share the interdependence of Engineering - Procurement and the influence in Construction. Here we touch a bit on work front monitoring and work face planning.

Integrating BIM and LEAN for Project Delivery - Construction of a Major Hospi...CCT International
Webinar presented by Mr. Zuhair Haddad, CCT's Chairman for the Lean Construction Institute on 1 September 2016.
Hospitals are ecosystems of diverse functions: laboratories, imaging units, ERs, surgery and operating rooms, inpatient quarters, etc. This makes building them one of the most complex tasks, specifically room completion systems as each set of rooms have their own furnishing and finishing requirements. This entails the existence of several number of trades, where coordination grows exponentially in importance. King Hussein Cancer Center in Jordan is a prime example with fast track requirements (3 years delivery) which increase the complexity further.
Join in this webinar Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC), a leading global construction contractor who will share the above case study where BIM, advanced work packaging and Lean were implemented in an integrated approach to manage the finishing activities for the hospital. The presenter will share some of key drivers for the success of this implementation:
• BIM authoring requirements to suit project controls
• Leveraging BIM to manage schedule, cost, sub-contractors, and material delivery.
• Installation Work Packages (IWPs) creation
• IWPs management using Lean approach
• Collaboration using BIM to support Lean processes
• Lessons learned.
About the Presenter:

Many projects experience failures that result in poor project delivery performance or process capacity/reliability degradations after commissioning
Many studies have shown that 60% to 95% of equipment life cycle costs (TLCC) are a result of decisions made (in CAPEX) prior to handover/start-up and transfer to owners (maintenance or operations) in OPEX
Wouldn’t it make common sense to manage the risk of CAPEX project failures in advance and address equipment life cycle decisions in (CAPEX) rather than after commission handover phase (OPEX)?
Shouldn't owners "invest" in project success "insurance" to help ensure that these multi-billion dollar projects are delivered as they were intended?
Most employees are usually under stress for a period of time before becoming burnt out. While stress and burnout are connected, they aren’t exactly the same thing. Stress is often short-term while burnout takes place over an extended period of time. This means that too much workplace stress can lead to burnout.

The measured mile/baseline method has been widely accepted to quantify labor
productivity loss, but it has not been successfully used in engineering productivity because of the
challenges in engineering productivity measurement and the determination of productivity
benchmark. This paper presents a series of procedures based on the measured mile/baseline
method to quantify engineering productivity loss from a project specific perspective. A case study
on the piping discipline in a large scale process plant project is used to illustrate the calculation.
The paper also includes a proposed approach, the two mile method, to quantify engineering
productivity loss using data for similar work, but different complexity.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

7. EPC Project Management
EPC stands for Engineering, Procurement, Construction and
is a prominent form of contracting agreement in the
construction industry.
The engineering and construction contractor will carry out
the detailed engineering design of the project, procure all
the equipment and materials necessary, and then construct
to deliver a functioning facility or asset to their clients.
Companies that deliver EPC Projects are commonly referred
to as EPC Contractors.
The EPC phase of the project is also known as the Execution
phase which normally follows what is know as a FEED or
Front End Engineering Design phase. The FEED is a basic
engineering design used as the basis for the EPC phase.
The FEED can be divided into separate packages covering
different portions of the project. The FEED packages are
used as the basis for bidding on when the client offers the
EPC work to the market.
Under an EPC contract, the contractor designs the
installation, procures the necessary materials and builds the
project, either directly or by of the work.
In some cases, the contractor carries the project risk for
schedule as well as budget in return for a fixed price,
called lump sum LSTK depending on the agreed scope of
work.
EPCM stands for Engineering, Procurement, Construction
Management. This type of contract is different to an EPC
Contract in that the Contractor is not directly involved in
the construction but is responsible for administering the
Construction Contracts.
EPCI stands for Engineering Procurement Construction
and Installation which is a common form of contracting
arrangement in the Offshore Construction Industry. As
opposed to an EPC contract, the offshore facility or vessel
that is constructed has to be transported and installed at
the project location.
EPIC stands for Engineering Procurement Installation
Commissioning is typically a Lump Sum Turn Key (LSTK)
type Contract integrating the responsibility going from the
conception to the final acceptance of one or more
elements of a production system. It can be awarded for
all, or part, of a field development.

14. Engineering work flow concept is required to be fully understand
for someone who involved in the EPC Planning and Activity
Sequencing.
This concept is applied when the EPC level 4 schedule is
developed.
The process of engineering work to produce the required
deliverables depends on not only within the functional
discipline itself but also among the process, mechanical and
piping engineering functions.
Engineering in EPC project is the task of translating a set of
functional requirement into a full set of drawings and
specifications depicting every detail of a facility,
Engineering involves varieties of specialties, which include :
• Process
•Civil and Structure
•Mechanical
•Piping
•Electrical
•Instrumentation
•General Engineering
•Safety
Engineering Work Flow
There are many interdependencies between engineering
documents.
For instance piping routing drawings are issued after the process
diagram Is defined.
Most of the documents will usually issued several times, at
different stages to for review as well as to incorporate the
comments.
Typically a document is first issued for Internal Review (IFR) of the
other disciplines, then to client for comment (IFC), it will be
returned to be incorporated with the client comments and issue
for Approval (IFA), then for construction (IFC) and last once
everything is confirmed and will Approve for Construction (AFC)

Procurement providing their deliverables to meet

49. Work Front
Engineering progress is commonly measured by assigning a weight, usually the required number of required manhours, to each
task/deliverable. Once the task is performed/ the deliverable is issued, the corresponding manhours are earned.
The earned progress divided by the total number of manhours gives the % progress.
As each engineering task/deliverable is scheduled at certain dates, it is possible to anticipate the progress that should beearned at a
given date. It is the planned progress.
At regular period, usually on a monthly basis, the actual progress of each activity/deliverable is measured against the planned progress.
An actual progress less than the planned progress might show a lack of resources and a need for increased mobilization to getback on
plan, following a (re-)forecast progress curve.
Although such progress measure is commonly used, it could be deceiving. It indeed reflects rather well the progress of engineering on
its own but not how well is engineering supporting the Project schedule.
Let’s consider that engineering must issue 2 material requisitions, an urgent one for a Long Lead Item and another one which is
required later on. Engineering will earn progress whatever requisition it issues, even if putting the Project in delay by issuing the non
urgent requisition first.
One sees that the above measure of progress alone is insufficient. It must be complemented by monitoring that important Milestones
are met.
These Milestones are first of all, the ones associated with the issue of the Requisition for the equipment. Long lead items have
naturally to be purchased early. All equipment and packages also need to be purchased as early as their technical definition allows.
Indeed, engineering development is highly dependent on information from vendors. The sooner the purchase orders are placed the
sooner the vendor information will be available.
Next come the Milestones associated with Bulk Material Procurement to support construction, such as the Piping MTO and the
Structural Steel MTO (for an off-shore Project).
49
50. Work Front
Then come the Milestones associated with Construction. These are the IFC Plot Plan, a pre-requisite to start any site work, and the IFC
P&IDs, a pre-requisite to the issue of Piping isometrics. The 50% IFC Piping isometric milestone comes next, which typically falls half way
through the Project, as ensuing works, such as pre-fab and erection have a rather incompressible duration, due to site constraints
(capacity of pre-fab shop, space constraints for erection limiting the progress).
Even if engineering deliveries are in sequence, the above engineering progress measure might still be deceiving, as it will only reflect
the amount of engineering work completed and not the workfront made available to construction.
Let’s consider for instance that two foundations are to be cast. The first one is a very large foundation and the second one a small one.
Issuing the drawing of either the large or small foundation will earn engineering the same progress, although it will open quite a
different workfront to Construction.
One sees the necessity to measure the issued Workfront.
In the case of foundations, for instance, this will be done by monitoring the cumulative quantity of concrete (m3) of all issued IFC
foundation drawings.
Producing an S curve, such as the one shown in next slide, showing both planned and actually issued quantities will give a true picture of
how well engineering is supporting civil works.
One will similarly monitor, for an On-Shore project, the cumulative quantity of steel (tons) of issued IFC Structural drawings.
The cumulative tons (or dia inch) of IFC issued Piping isometrics will show the available piping workfront.
Such progress curves, showing the actual versus planned available workfronts are instrumental to monitor engineering progress, identify
shortage and take corrective actions (increase mobilisation).
It is not perfect however and can still be deceiving, in case of out-of-sequence issues: engineering may have issued drawings
representing significant quantities, but that does not generate construction workfront as such works can not be performed at this time
(due to lack of access or pre-requisite for another work to be completed before, for instance).

63. What Makes Forecasting is a Challenge
Challenges
EWP process has many steps to get to IFC
The rules of credit (if they exist) are either not known or not utilized.
EWP development held back by outside influence
(e.g., Systems, Vendor Data or Owner Decisions)
Construction mobilizes resources based on forecast completions of EWP IFC
Engineering forced to release partial EWPs or releases EWPs out of sequence or
EWPs with HOLDS
EWP releases continue to slip but construction is now mobilized

70. Sample Pipeline Construction Project WBS for Refinery/Chemical Plant
Sample WBS for piping construction project for a refinery or chemical plant may be organized as the following.
It is worth to be organized by location wise (i.e. platform and pipe rack, platform and equipment around piping) prior to “Phase” WBS.
Timely completion of piping construction is not only depending on timely receiving of engineering drawings and materials from Owner/EPC
contractor but timely availability of the infrastructure should also be addressed. Sometime it refers to work front availability.
Developing WBS is mainly depending on the project scope. It should be defined according to the project specific as every project is different,
for instance, “Demolishing” WBS may also be added under “Phase” level priority to “Installation” WBS if your project scope involved a
considerable amount of piping demolishing scope. “Above Ground” and “Under Ground” WBS can be left in case no underground piping work
is
included in the project.
(1) Level 1: Plant Unit, e.g. Utility Unit, Ethylene Theatre Unit, etc.
(2) Level 2: Area within a Unit, for instance, Area ABC, Area XYZ. Area demarcation is marked for a group of process piping on above
ground and underground.
(3) Level 3: Height. This is to segregate pipe work on the above ground and underground.
(4) Level 4: Location where pipeline is run, for instance, piping on and around pipe rack, equipment and equipment platform.
(5) Level 5: Phase, e.g. Fabrication, Installation (field erection, NDT) and pre-commissioning (hydro testing, air flushing, chemical cleaning
etc.)
Note :
“Common” WBS name refers to common location where interconnecting piping is running between the pipe rack and equipment
or equipment platform. Having a clear definition of what is and what is not meant by “Common” is important

74. Piping Tie-in Process
Normally, piping tie-in installation scope is involved in revamp project only. The progress tracking system for tie-in work includes Tie-in
Tracker Sheet and Progress tracking sheet.
Tie-in numbers against the Isometric drawings and work packages are listed in the tracker sheet. The tie-in type (Bolt-up, cut and
weld, hot tap, cold tap and threaded are typical tie-in types in process industry), project area or system name and installed dates are
also included in the tracker sheet.
To develop Progress Tracking Sheet for overall Isometric drawings, the following work steps and weight factor percentages areutilized.
1. Preparation ( Scaffold erection if required/remove insulation if required) -20%
2. Tie-in work (Bolt up/cut & weld/hot tap/cold tap/threaded) -70%
3. Inspection (Sign QC document, example : flange make up check list) -10%
The Progress Tracking System for Pipeline Erection Work
Developing procedure of progress tracking system for pipeline erection work is the same as piping fabrication work except work steps
and weight factor percentages. To do that, replace the following work steps and weight factor percentages with the existing ones and
rearrange the formulae.
1. Material at Erection area - 5%
2. Piping Laying -20%
3. Preparation(align/tack weld) -20%
4. Full Welding Execution - 40%
5. Non Destructive Examination - 5%
6. Pipe Support Erection -15%
7. Final Inspection - 5%
