Plant installation
Plant installation
(OP)
If the client is doing the design of the plant and equipment who should state where the field welds will be done and any modifications of the equipt for installation? The Client or installation contractor?





RE: Plant installation
But from the quality of design work I see these days, I could certainly understand why a contractor might have a different opinion. I often do.

RE: Plant installation
Field welds locations of piping systems USUALLY (but not always)are determined by the reasonable spool size necessary for transportation to the field site.
In my experience, spool transportation limitations indirectly determines about 60 to 80% of filed weld locations.
Add on another 15-20% of field welds that are determined by last minute changes and field routed piping.
For new or replacement piping systems that are to be installed into an existing, congested plant...... the percentage of field welding could be 80-100%.
Sill confused by the OP's phrase :"any modifications of the equipt for installation"..... What exactly is meant here ?

Is final design done usually before the installation contractor is found?
