Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook introduces engineers, project and construction managers, and senior technicians to a methodology for the management of quality on a process plant construction site. The eleven chapters of the handbook define the roles and appellations of the parties involved in a project as well as outlining the fundamental strategic and contractual orientations to be decided. The ISO 9000 series of standards are examined within the context of the process plant construction site. A study is then made of the roles of the organizations involved and of the interfaces between them. Special attention is given to document and materiel control, followed by a review of the various monitoring and feedback systems to keep the project on track moving towards the ultimate goal of satisfactory construction completion leading to turnover. Model procedures are proposed, complete with forms attached, and a number of case studies are included to illustrate the practical application of the principles presented. Process Plant Construction: a handbook for quality management is completed by appendices covering Civil Works & Buildings, Mechanical Equipment, HVAC, Welding, Structural Steelwork, Piping, Electrical Installation, Instrumentation & Control, Painting, and Thermal Insulation. Each appendix, aimed at the non-specialist, presents briefly for the discipline concerned the nature of the works likely to be met on site, evokes the parties involved and highlights quality issues to be addressed. Typical inspection and test programs are outlined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Construction Plant: Its Cost and Efficiency It has been a considerable time since my office commenced to gather the data that have been collated for this book, and during all of that period the manuscript sheets, and later the page proofs bound up for convenient handling, have been in almost daily use. Consequently many of the items have been used and verified; so that I have rather more confidence in the usefulness as well as the general accuracy of the material than if it had not passed through a fairly thorough period of seasoning. This time of seasoning has its disadvantages, however, as well as its benefits. Changing conditions in certain industries have affected prices, and a number of items have been radically revised in the making. It is to be expected, moreover, that the same thing will continue; and as I have said in the introduction, page 3, these figures should be checked by actual bids where a plant is to be appraised, etc. In order to facilitate this, lists of the principal manufacturers of the plant described are given. My principal reason for thinking that these notes would be useful to others is that I found them all but indispensable in my own practice, and not available in other form. My justification for the alphabetical method of classification is that this scheme admits of more rapid service on my desk than any other and I have attempted to supplement this arrangement by a very full index. For encouragement in this plan of procedure I am indebted to many of my engineering friends, who have aided by suggestions and useful criticisms. Finally, the keynote of the book has been practical utility to the man who has to buy, sell or use construction plant, or who needs to know what can be done with it. The existing facts in the shortest time on the reader's part, rather than interesting theory and clever comparisons have been kept most in mind. Because of this, a large wealth of material that would probably be of intense interest to the economist and the engineering student has been put aside for publication some time later if it seem desirable, but for which there is no space in this volume, which has grown to just double the size originally planned for it. A more general idea of the scope of the work, its field and its limitations may be found in the introductory chapter which follows this preface.

Download or read book Construction Equipment Management written by John E. Schaufelberger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-27 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revised and updated edition of Construction Equipment Management fills a gap on this subject by integrating both conceptual and hands-on quantitative knowledge on construction equipment into a process that facilitates student learning. The first six chapters summarize interdisciplinary concepts that are necessary to ground students' learning on construction equipment management, including both engineering and economics. Each of the next 16 chapters covers a different type of construction equipment and associated methods of use. The final chapter introduces the more advanced concept of operation analysis. This allows the book to be used on numerous courses at different levels to prepare graduates to apply skills on construction equipment when planning for a new project, estimating its costs, and monitoring field operations. Organized around the major categories of construction equipment, including both commercial and heavy civil examples, case studies, and exercises, this textbook will help students develop independence in applying concepts to hands-on scenarios. A companion website provides an instructor manual, solutions, additional examples, lecture slides, figures, and diagrams.

Download or read book Plant Engineer s Handbook written by R. Keith Mobley and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2001-05-14 with total page 1203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant engineers are responsible for a wide range of industrial activities, and may work in any industry. This means that breadth of knowledge required by such professionals is so wide that previous books addressing plant engineering have either been limited to only certain subjects or cursory in their treatment of topics. The Plant Engineering Handbook offers comprehensive coverage of an enormous range of subjects which are of vital interest to the plant engineer and anyone connected with industrial operations or maintenance. This handbook is packed with indispensable information, from defining just what a Plant Engineer actually does, through selection of a suitable site for a factory and provision of basic facilities (including boilers, electrical systems, water, HVAC systems, pumping systems and floors and finishes) to issues such as lubrication, corrosion, energy conservation, maintenance and materials handling as well as environmental considerations, insurance matters and financial concerns. One of the major features of this volume is its comprehensive treatment of the maintenance management function; in addition to chapters which outline the operation of the various plant equipment there is specialist advice on how to get the most out of that equipment and its operators. This will enable the reader to reap the rewards of more efficient operations, more effective employee contributions and in turn more profitable performance from the plant and the business to which it contributes. The Editor, Keith Mobley and the team of expert contributors, have practiced at the highest levels in leading corporations across the USA, Europe and the rest of the world. Produced in association with Plant Engineering magazine, this book will be a source of information for plant engineers in any industry worldwide. * A Flagship reference work for the Plant Engineering series * Provides comprehensive coverage on an enormous range of subjects vital to plant and industrial engineer * Includes an international perspective including dual units and regulations
