(OP)
Any good advises on how to put together pipe in the field? Any recommendations? Also any book or website for fabricating piping in the field on large oil and gas construction projects?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Socket Weld?
Screwed?
Not sure what you are asking. Can you narrow your question into something that can be answered in a short paragraph (be specific)?

Yes, try to see if you have any senior level mechanical engineers that could help mentor you or are 'go-to' resources for piping. This is an opportunity to learn from seasoned engineers.

Get as-built p&ids, plans, iso's, specs etc from previous installations, read them in conjuction with each other, ask questions of other engineers, then look at the actual installation vs drawings and try to compare.
The main thing is to ask questions.
This will not happen overnight, it will be years before you fully understand piping design vs pipe fabrication/installation.
So many materials, so many connection types, so many ways of designing ..... so many questions!

When they say "Are you sure you want to do it that way?" Take a minute to hear what they have to say it might save you a lot of time and money.

and listen to Yorkman, these guys are a wealth of knowledge and if they think something won't work, then 90% of the time it won't.

RE: Piping Filed Engineer.
Your main responsibility as a field piping engineer should be to support construction activities. What that means is help the construction supervisor, general foreman, piping foreman, fitter and welder by supplying them any and all information they require to complete their tasks. You should also be responsible for making sure that all components on the isometrics are installed per the drawings. (i.e... valves, pipe supports, pie shoes, guides, spring supports, insulation, tracing, etc…). You may also be asked to chase down materials to support the construction activities.
If you don't have the experience, do not redesign any piping systems. If a problem is encountered in the field, you should gather any and all relevant information and forward it to engineering contractor who designed the system. It should be their responsibility to resolve these issues.
This is a great opportunity for you to get some valuable experience. Don't be afraid to ask questions.
Good Luck!
