2 GENERAL O&M REQUIREMENTS

During the early design development, the following aspects should be considered and later
investigated during 3D model review sessions.
O&M needs reported below are valid for onshore and offshore plants of oil & gas industry. They are
organized to provide primarily general requirements applied to all typical equipment and then, from
the letter “f”, they became specific for the each equipment category.

maintained shall be able to be clearly and univocally identified. Contractors,
Licensee’s, Manufacturers and Suppliers shall use the same Item Numbering
procedure [1] and [2].

b) Accessibility: each item of equipment that can be individually operated and/or

maintained shall be provided of adequate accessibility in terms of personnel and
material handling.
An item is considered to have been provided with adequate personnel accessibility if
two persons, wearing the required PPE and maintenance tools for the activities to be
performed, are able to access easily to it. In the case of items located at elevated
positions, personnel accessibility shall be evaluated considering the dimensional
needs of permanently available stairways, ladders and platforms.
An item is considered accessible by material handling/lifting equipment when it can be
reached, installed and removed safely by means of permanently available lifting and
material handling equipment.

c) Inspection: needs of internal or external inspection to the equipment shall be evaluated.

Where required, means of access for external inspection (platform, ladder, etc.) and
facilities for internal inspection (manhole, inspection gauge, etc,) shall be provided.
Vessel/column/tank internal inspection is considered to be feasible if a suitably sized
manway for personnel access is available, and at least one person can stand
continuously in front of the manway opening while one more person is standing close
nearby. Additional opening for ventilation purpose should be considered.

4 O&M REVIEW IN 3D MODEL STAGES

The O&M Review should, in principle, be performed at 30%, 60% and 90% of plant
modelling completion, according to the Company guideline “3D Review procedure” [3].
It should be noted that the mentioned modelling activity progress typically does not
correspond to the overall physical progress of a detail project, since it is subordinate to
the supply of engineering information from upstream disciplines, such as Process,
Mechanical, Instrument, etc.

4.1 O&M REVIEW AT 30% MODELLING COMPLETION

Following items aim to provide a guidance for the investigation of the O&M aspects to
be covered in detail during the 30% stage of 3D model review.

1. Equipment access preliminary check

2. Piping (6" NPS and larger) associated with modelled equipment that affects
operability and maintainability.
3. Mechanical handling volumes preliminary verification against critical piping, main
cable routes and HVAC ducts.
4. Lifting beam and handling requirement.
5. Main handling way and main laydown area preliminary verification against critical
piping, main cable routes and HVAC ducts.
6. Maintenance area with crane access and manoeuvre verification.

7. Nozzles, manholes, spectacle blinds accessibility evaluation.

8. Platform concerns and preliminary requirements.
9. Disposal facilities for filters and tote tank availability check.

4.2 O&M REVIEW AT 60% MODELLING COMPLETION

Following items aim to provide a guidance for the investigation of the O&M aspects to
be covered in detail during the 60% stage of 3D model review.

1. Accessibility around the equipment upgrading and finalizing.

2. Accessibility for instrumentation and line items (manual valve, blinds, spacers,
spectacle blind, etc.) verification.
3. Accessibility of operating valve associated with equipment verification
4. Vent and drain accessibility verification.

5. Valve, actuator and control panel accessibility check.

6. Fire and gas accessibility check.
7. Nozzle, manhole and associated platform size verification.
8. Mechanical handling device definition.
9. Maintenance area with crane access and manoeuvre finalization.
10. Utility station availability verification.

4.3 ITEMS TO REVIEW AT 90% MODELLING COMPLETION

Following items aim to provide a guidance for the investigation of the O&M aspects to
be covered in detail during the 90% stage of 3D model review.

1. Accessibility for instrumentation and line items (blinds, spacers, spectacle blind,
etc.) check against piping (2” NPS and larger) and cables and tubing trays (100 mm
and lower).
2. Accessibility of operating valves against piping (2” NPS and lower), cables and
tubing trays (100 mm and lower).
3. Location of local control panel and control valve manifold finalization with reference
to the accessibility.
4. Maintenance volumes against instrumentation stands and supports.
5. Other O&M requirement fully finalized.

4.4 CLOSE OUT REPORT

At close out of each O&M Review stage, a report summarising the results will be issued
both to Company and to relevant discipline engineers’ review according to the
Company guideline [3].
