Sr.Draftsman-E&I

Skills Required

As in the attached Job DescriptionJustification in detail.

To avoid reworks due to Secondary Supports (welding, painting, inspection) and save the associated cost, it is a must to install the E&I secondary supports on the platform deck prior to blasting/painting of the full deck. As per current Practice, secondary supports are installed at a late stage as they are not modelled by Engineering. Hence these are designed, fabricated & installed in Situ by the construction team after major installations have progressed substantially (e.g. primary supports and mechanical pipes/structures, Main Cable Ladder etc) to ensure clash-free installation to the extent possible by visualizing the proper route, location, type and dimension.

As an improvement initiative, we decided to model the secondary supports by designers/draftsman similar to primary supports and reflected in related drawings; however at Management Level it was agreed to handle this task of Construction Engineering by E&I Yard (please refer attached Division of Responsibilities between Engg and E&I Yard). On the recently concluded CRPO’s, it is estimated that approx. 6M AED over-run was caused due to reworks related to Secondary supports, which can be saved on future projects.
