    Process Engineering software

    In response to "thirt" (original poster), there are several design solutions for the process industry and depend on the CAD platform you currently have in place. If you are using MicroStation, Intergraph has a collection of software products refered to as Plant Design Series (PDS) and includes a...

    document control systems

    Bentley Systems (the MicroStation guys) has a solution specifically designed to address the intricacy of engineering documents and data. The product, Bentley ProjectWise, has been heavily involved with Adobe in developing some very strong operability and has even developed PDFs that can handled...

    API STD 560

    If you start in API 653 Above Ground Storage Tank Inspection standard it will lead you to the answer you are looking for. The test methods and the acceptance criteria are all outlined and referenced from that standard.

    Brinell Hardness

    The guiding codes and criteria for what you are asking start with API 650. In there it will callout reference to ASME B&PV Section IX for welding and the requirements for procedure and qualification. From there it will also reference you to ASME B&PV Section V NDT. It is within this section...

    Gas Turbine Configuration

    abeltio, I do agree that the best design criteria would come from the end user but that was not the question. The question was in regard to a standard or required spacing between units and that information would come from the OEM as for their requirements to ensure the proper operation (i.e...

    Gas Turbine Configuration

    The greatest resource for answering this question is the actual manufacturer of the equipment. They will provide the minimum space required for servicing, as well as, what is required for effective operation.

    Assigning Different Holidays to Different Resources

    If you are using MS Project the process is pretty simple: While in the Gantt Chart View, look under the Tools menu and select Change Working Time. At the bottom of the window select the New button and you will create a new calendar using the Standard as the base. Rename it as Standard India...

    Change Order Request

    The last thing I have to say about the issue is if the architect sealed the drawings then the claim should be made against the E&O policy of the architect. This is a prime example of why you have E&O insurance in the first place. The error is clearly on the drawings and clearly the...

    EVMS

    As a matter of further study if you use MS Project or P3 you can look at resource loading the schedule and then querying the progress. The baseline schedule will generate the planned value curve and you can plot the earned value curve against it to confirm winning or losing.

    Change Order Request

    I know this is really late but I can not help but question the scale difference. What size drawings were provided to the bidder/contractor? It looks like the drawings may have been generated in full size (22 x 34) and then printed in half size (11 x 17). That would account for the suppossed...

    Project Close Out

    The problems mentioned here with regard to the large amount of legacy data to be maintained and the respective version dependancy of the software are industry problems that are currently being addressed by several engineering software companies. The entire move in the industry is towards a more...
