Title: STANDARD: ERECTION, INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE AND PRESERVATION OF EQUIPMENT
PREFACE
Woodside Energy Ltd. (WEL) has developed a suite of Engineering and Technical Standards
and Guidelines. It is intended that these reflect the most suitable engineering practices for
use on all new WEL facilities as well as the modification of existing facilities. The application
of the Standards is mandatory. The application of Guidelines is to support the
implementation of the Standards, and are considered best practice, but are not mandatory.
The Standards are based on the experience acquired by WEL personnel and contractors
during WEL’s involvement with the design, construction, operation and maintenance of WEL
processing units and facilities. Where appropriate, the Standards are based on or make
reference to national and international standards and codes of practice.
The objective of this publication is to ensure the overall integrity of engineering design and to
achieve maximum technical and economic benefits through the standardisation of
engineering and technical practices.
Where the standards to be used for a certain application are not provided for in this
publication, WEL expects that the standards that are used will achieve the same level of
integrity as reflected in this publication. If WEL contractors or manufacturers/suppliers have
any doubt as to the relevant standard to use, then they must consult WEL, however they will
remain responsible at all times for the use of the most appropriate standard. Specific
requirements may be added as an addendum to these Standards and Guidelines for various
projects. Project specific requirements must not depart from the requirements of the
Engineering and Technical Standards contained in this publication. Where changes or
additions to these Standards are required, they must be raised as a deviation and presented
to the WEL Technical Authority for consideration.
WEL grants the right to use these Standards and Guidelines to WEL’s consultants,
contractors and suppliers who are contractually authorised to do so and to any tier of
contractor to its consultants, contractors and suppliers who are contractually required to
comply with them.
DISCLAIMER
WEL and its joint venture partners disclaim any liability of whatsoever nature for any damage
(including injury or death) suffered by any company or person whomsoever as a result of or
in connection with the use, application or implementation of any standard, combination of
standards or any part thereof contained in this publication.

their individual function/responsibility. The erection proposal and procedure,
supported by detailed technical data, drawings and calculations shall be
submitted to Company for approval not less than 14 days prior to the
commencement of the unloading, lifting and transport operation.
2.1.16 Equipment shall be set, aligned, levelled and grouted in accordance with the
relevant drawings, data sheets or Vendor’s manuals.
2.1.17 Prior to placing the grout, checks shall be made to ensure the equipment is set at

and/or the Company’s instructions (refer to paragraph 3.1.7.).
All flanges of Class 300 and higher ratings shall be parallel to within 0.15 mm
over the flange raised face diameter.
All flanges with lower rating shall be parallel to within 0.2 mm over the flange

If the stresses in the piping are affecting the alignment, the piping shall be
stress relieved and/or the spring support arrangement adjusted, or the
offending flange cut and rewelded. The Company will arbitrate in this decision.
a) In the case of electric motors which have the axial shaft movement “located”
outside the electric motor housing and are coupled to the driven unit through a
limited end float shaft coupling, the following shall apply.
The axial alignment of the rotating assembly must ensure that the electric
motor rotor runs at or about its magnetic centre. The axial alignment shall be
set within the limit of the coupling end float thereby minimising the
transmission of axial thrust of the rotor to the driver or driven unit system.
Reference shall be made to the Vendor’s documents for correct end float
measurements.
The axial alignment of the rotating assembly must ensure that the rotor runs
at its magnetic centre, thereby minimising the transmission of axial thrust to
the driver or driven unit system.
c) The radial gap between rotor and stator of electric motors (i.e. single bearing
shaft design) shall be set in accordance with installation instructions of the
electric motor manufacturer.

properly secured by bolting. No covers or protective seals shall be removed
unless prior approval is obtained from Company.
d) For installed equipment, shaft shall be rotated at least once per week. To
ensure that all rotating equipment shafts are rotated, a record shall be kept.
Refer to attached “Exhibits F-1 and F-2” for preservation item check lists.
Rotation check and an electrical no load test run shall be conducted for electric

c) Strainers are installed in the suction lines and that strainers have been
checked for the correct mesh, cleanliness and fitting to ensure correct
operation. Mesh dimensions and opening size will be determined by the
Manufacturer and the Company.
5.1.12 In conjunction with the electrical and instrument disciplines the safety shutdown
devices shall be checked and proven, relief valves in lube oil systems shall be
set in accordance with Manufacturer’s specification prior to the initial run of the
equipment or any auxiliary system of the equipment (eg. lubricating oil system).
5.2.1 Centrifugal horizontal pumps will, unless otherwise stated, arrive on site with
drivers mounted on the base plates and the initial pump to driver alignment
complete. These pumps shall be placed on the concrete foundations which have
been previously scabbled, and located on embedded anchor bolts. These bolts
will be sleeve type and some movement is possible to correct small inaccuracies
in bolt position. Steel packers shall be placed under the base plate using one
packer on each side of each holding down bolt. The base plate shall then be
levelled using composite packers on top of the existing packer. A preliminary
alignment check of the couplings shall be done before grouting. Grouting of the
base plate shall be carried out as per this standard.
5.2.2 When the grout has cured the anchor bolts shall be finally tightened to the
required tension and the pump to driver alignment rechecked prior to pipe
erection. Any readjustment shall be made by shimming the driver only.
Full faced packers of stainless steel shall be used when setting up drivers for
alignment to their respective driven units. The total number of packers used in
achieving levels shall be kept to a minimum. In all cases a minimum ship pack
thickness of 3 mm is required to allow for subsequent adjustment to the motor
driver without machining either the motor or bed plate pads.
Final alignment shall be carried out subsequent to piping hydrostatic testing and
prior to pre-commissioning, at which time the piping must be stress free and
supports correctly set at cold position.
5.2.3 If the driver is delivered separately from the base plate and pump, the pump and
base plate shall be set up as described in Section 5.2.2. The installation of the
electric motor on the base plate and the initial alignment shall be carried out
before grouting.
5.3.1 For vertical pumps, the foundations will be either steel or concrete. Where
pumps are mounted on steel sections, anchor bolt holes will be provided in the
