well as the follow-up of the progress. In addition, we pre-commissioned new system components. Moreover, our people offered support with tie-ins and the implementation of adjustments to static equipment. They were also given the supervision in catalytic exchange and the cleanup work. In other words: we became a major link between production on the one hand and the global executing contractor on the other”. Punching The punching of new line systems has an administrative and a construction angle to it. Bakelants explains: “In the administrative punch, our specialists check issues such as the fl ow direction, the line’s gradient, the drainage and bleeding options, etc. They also check for errors: errors between the isometrics (+/- 4,000) and the P&ID (process- and instrumentation diagram). Moreover, we must check whether or not the lines are drawn according to the appropriate line specifi - cations.” The construction punch, or the actual acceptance, follows as soon as the administrative punch is completed. In this phase, the experts of Profs for Industry, together with those responsible for the production and the contractor, accept the various line parts prior to printing the line. A punch list with A, B and C items is drawn up after each acceptance. Pre-commissioning In order to make work manageable, Profs for Industry subdivided the abovementioned expansion project into 150 packages of work. A folder was created for each work package. The folder contained a sketch of the location, the required PID schemes, the isometrics, the technical data sheets of the systems and the punch lists. “As Profs for Industry we were given the authority to rinse the line system, to check for cleanness and to subsequently sign for acceptance. Also, we had to supervise the assembly of the components which had been disassembled for the pre-commissioning.” “It is worth mentioning that both BASF as well as the global executing contractor were happy to use the work packages that our organisation had compiled,” says Bakelants. ‘Tie ins’ Yet another substantial assignment consisted in producing the approx. 1,800 so-called ‘tie ins’ during the maintenance stop. In order to make this happen in a structured manner, an expert of Profs for Industry was present at all meetings regarding the ‘tie ins’. During the meetings, a decision model was utilized to determine how the system had to be isolated in order to be able to rinse it. At these meetings, it was also decided whether they had to make hot or cold cuts. From each ‘tie in’, a separate meeting report was drawn up and included in the work result. All of the steps that were necessary within the Primavera maintenance system were included in this report. Through this approach, the engineering fi rm had to work according to the system of BASF. In preparation of the shutdown, Profs for Industry, therefore, created the job folders for the engineering fi rm with the total work preparation per ‘tie in’. n During major projects such as a shutdown, screening of personnel and cooperation is of critical importance. These work folders contained a P&ID, a photograph, isometrics, a fl ow diagram, etc. The job folders were extremely useful for the engineering fi rm as well as for our own specialists. For they had to monitor progress during the shutdown and check the safety, explains Bakelants. Personnel Although Profs for Industry is daily involved in the abovementioned fi eld, it remains important to screen the employees prior to the start of each project. “We screen our people, but so does the customer,” enunciates Bakelants. We mainly screen a person’s background and his/her team spirit. Cooperation during such projects is quite important. “In order to make certain that our employees stay current at all times, during HIGHLIGHTS each toolbox meeting their knowledge is refreshed with a specifi c weekly theme. We strive to familiarize our employees with their new environment. We do this by offering them as many courses and training sessions as possible, such an internship week for the operators of our department. The courses and training sessions also serve as a great opportunity for people to get to know one another.”
