1 Purpose of the Method Statement

The purpose of this method statement is to ensure that the methods and procedures
shall be carried out for the fabrication, erection and testing of piping work as per the
Technical / Contractual specifications of BGC.

2 Scope of Works
2.1 Scope
Piping modification of stream56,57and flare lines 8”and 10” for J1&J2

2.2 Description of Activity(ies) to be Undertaken

Procedure
The Engineering drawings and documents received from client shall be clearly
understood to find out the service, material specification, size, thickness, NDT
requirements, pipe routings quantity etc. line wise and area
wise.
Ensure that the documents received bear the stamp “Issued for Construction” and are
of latest revision.
Make sure that all the Quality Control and Pre – Construction formalities, approvals,
and preparations are done sufficiently in advance to start the construction activity as
per the schedule.
Materials Receiving and Storage
1) Material Requisition form prepared by supervisor shall be forwarded to the
material controller who shall collect the piping materials as per the piping
specifications, respecting the material issue
2) Handling and transportation of piping materials shall be done with utmost
care to avoid any damage.
3) Separate area shall be assigned for the storage of Carbon Steel and. Pipes shall be stored in open area
resting on wooden
Pre – Fabrication
1) Dummy spools 8”&10” should be prefabricated in advance in the workshop.

2)the 24”spool to be beveled after being cut to the required length, the drain also has to be welded in the workshop in advance.

Cutting and Beveling

1) Cold cutting will be carried out using the manual and pneumatic cutters .

2) Proceed with cutting of pipes, edge preparation, joint alignment,
and fit-ups as per the WPS.
3) The edge cleaning and beveling shall be done using abrasive
grinding disc/ beveling machines.
4) Line Number, Spool Numbers, and Joint Numbers are to be clearly
identified and marked on the spools with the welder identification for
each joint.
Fit – Up and Tack Welding
1) Fit-up assembly shall be carried out by using locally prepared couplers.
All the required pipe holding work benches, assembling brackets, ‘U’
bolts etc. would be made in house to suit the pipe sizes.
2) For butt welds a uniform root opening as specified below shall be
bottom of socket.
4) Internal misalignment shall be limited to
1.6 mm for pipe diameter 24” and below.
3.2 mm for pipe diameter 26” and above.
5) The pipes shall be tack welded in three equidistant positions. Tack Weld
shall be done as per approved WPS by a qualified welder.
Welding
1) Welding procedures and welders shall be qualified as per Project
Specifications and relevant codes, prior to start of the welding.
2) Ensure that the edges are free from dirt, rust, oil, grease, paint etc.
3) Welding shall be done as per approved WPS for the particular piping. Pre
heating and welding consumable shall be checked before starting of
welding.
4) Each weld layer shall be cleaned before starting to weld next layer. The
cleaned area shall be free from slags. Any visual defects like cracks,
pores, spatters weld shall be removed by grinding before the next layer is
applied. The ends of weld layer shall be removed by grinding at tack
points of each weld. Any possible weld excess layer will be removed by
grinding.
Non Destructive Examination
1) The extent of NDT will be in accordance with Project General Specification
for different piping systems. The acceptance criteria shall be in accordance
with ASME B 31.3.
2) Welding record shall be maintained with proper identification of joint,
welder etc. for all joints.
3) NDT shall be carried out as per approved procedure and the results shall be
recorded properly.
Piping Erection
1) The Pre-Fabricated spools shall be identified by spool and line numbers
before and after priming.
2) Care shall be taken while handling and stacking of spools to prevent any
possible damage.

3) Open ends of spools shall be covered by caps after thorough cleaning.
4) Erection of spools shall be carried out area by area as per piping layout
drawing and Isometric drawings.
5) Scaffolding and temporary platforms shall be arranged to carry out fit up and
welding of field joints at elevated positions.
6) Pre-fabricated spools shall be shifted to site carefully as per daily erection
plan.
7) Before erection of spools ensure for inside cleaning of the spools and their
items.
11) Install the pre-fabricated supports as per drawings.
12) Joints shall be aligned and complete the fit-up / welding as per applicable
WPS.
13) NDT and other inspection shall be completed for the field joints and
recorded properly.
Mechanical Clearance, Inspection & Pressure Testing
1) Identify the test loops for the completed line system wise.
2) Upon obtaining mechanical clearance, Hydrotest shall be carried out as per
project specification.
3) Arrange for Hydrotest Pump, Calibrated Pressure Gauges, Test medium
(Water) etc.
4) Blind flanges shall be installed on all required locations and items which are
not to be included in pressure testing, shall be isolated.
5) Water shall be filled and vented properly before pressurizing.
6) Line shall be pressurized to the required pressure of that piping class and
hold the pressure till the inspection is completed.
7) Pressure Test shall be witnessed by contractor representative.
8) On satisfactory completion of test, pressure shall be released and line is to
drained off completely.
9) Reinstate the line with all the permanent items and remove all the blinds.
10) Inspection and Quality Records
Inspection, Testing and Recording shall be in accordance with the approved
Equipment and tools
1) Portable cranes, column cranes.
2) Scaffoldings
3)Small items (lifting jacks, slings, chain block, D-shackles, etc.)
4) Oxygen Acetylene Cutting, Portable Power Tools, and Welding units.
Safety Measures
Protective Clothing
1) Helmet
2) Gloves
3) Safety shoes
4) Full Body Safety Harness
5) Face shields
