Engg Activities – a snapshot

◦ Projects Being Engineered Concurrently( In-


House)
 New -14
 R&M -3

◦ Stringent targets
 C&I Specification preparation time w.r.t zero
date has come down from 6 months to
now -4 in bulk tendering projects)
 Documents review & approval time reduced
 Cost reduction in all packages including C&I
 Minimization of Project to Project Variants ( Eg,
C&I Layout)
 FAT time reduction though scope of testing
increased
 Tender Phase
◦ Two Stage Bidding ( Specification better tuned to
contemporary systems)
◦ Standard Specification Module ( Streamlining the
Specs. Preparation process)

 Engineering Phase
◦ Specialization based Dept. Structure ( Detailed
focus on specific area; continuity & consistency in
Engg.; single pt interface to sites)
◦ Standardization in Engg. Process.
◦ Pre-engineering of systems – UPS, 24V DC charger.
◦ All logics/ loops tested in laptops with the vendor
before Integrated test.
◦ Major Design Features test for DCS before FAT.
◦ Standardization of Documents (Interconnection
Drawing etc).
◦ Standardization of Control Room/ Control
Equipment rooms layout.
◦ Automation in Engg. Process (ICS generation for
main plant & offsite).
 In On-going Projects
Practice/ Concept

Uniform Control System for main plant as well as offsite ( DCS


Platform) for ease of maintenance, uniform HMI, optimized
operation.

Uniform Logics Philosophy/ Tagging for Offsites in line with main


plant.
Facility of remote operation of hydro plant from Corporate Centre.

Multiplexing of Programmer room hardware for space saving and
optimized usage.
Contd..
