Construction Support

Field Engineering

This is a key activity that resolves any Office Engineering and Design to Field Conditions. It includes activities such as proper interpretation and application of engineering and design to construction, resolution of and discrepancies or conflicts in information, ensuring preparations and steps have been completed, and closing the loop back to engineering to mitigate any potential problems.

Design Change Requests

Cable installation

Occasionally, the design can not be implemented as approved, and it then becomes necessary to make a "Design Change Request". In most cases, it is required to submit the change proposal to the Engineering Group for approval before the change may be implemented.
We offer the following service:

Development and maintenance of the "DCR Register" to track open/closed DCRs.
Develop change solutions that technically meet engineering and design standards
Field "Red Line Markups" of approved drawings showing proposed change and justification.
Expediting approval with the Engineering and Design Group
Distribution of revise drawings to the Construction Group for implementation.

Installation of cable has become one of the main activities in complex structures. In order to meet a successful installation, it is essential to monitor and report on cable installation work, to ensure that the installation is progressing according to plan. We offer the following support:

Ensuring the proper cables are being installed on the correct cableways
Keeping logs on cable used against cable ordered, and reporting on any potential shortages
Ensuring that the installation of high voltage, low voltage and instrument cables are adequately spaced / on own tray to meet the Regulations / Specification

Equipment foundations

Prior to equipment being installed, it must be ensured that the foundations are in agreement with the equipment mounting methods. This can be particularly critical for switchboards, that have tight tolerances for level, skew and waviness.
We offer the following service:

Checking of equipment foundations meets the equipment manufacturer's specification and assisting in any remedial work
Ensuring all cable transit positions are in agreement with the equipment and that the size is adequate for the cables.
grounding and bonding methods are in place, prior to equipment installation.

Cableway and Transit Management

Installation of cable ways and transits should be complete as far as practicable prior to equipment installation. We ensure that:

Cableways type and size is in accordance with the plans, and the installation meets workmanship standards
All cableways are tagged for purpose and that the cable ways and transit are coordinated
Report and assist in the resolution of any cableways that appear to become over subscribed.
