Project premise:

Basic engineering must define a preliminary constructability strategy.

to minimize the impact on production during construction.

Scope of constructability analysis:

The scope of this constructability analysis is to generate information with the

team participation in the project, in: planning, design, procurement,
construction and startup of the facilities; that can improve in a way
significant the scope of the project objectives, directly related
with safety, quality, operation, maintenance, production, date of
culmination or others, by identifying savings in time and costs
in a timely manner.

Constructability seeks to identify from the early stages of the Project

optimizations and best practices with the trend to provide solutions for
engineering that take into account Constructibility, Operability and
Maintenance of the infrastructure.

Objective of the constructability study:

With the timely implementation of Constructibility and

structured, positive impacts can be achieved in terms of savings in
costs and execution times of jobs, the importance of decision making is established
of decisions and can significantly contribute to zero policies
accidents.
Present the construction strategy proposed by the company with the
end of analyzing and evaluating the execution sequences, obstacles and
simultaneity of work fronts, the main operations of
assembly and construction, which will be given to the contractor during the
project execution.
Validate the technical construction aspects that must be considered
to meet the established start-up goals in terms of time, cost,
programming, security and environment.
Establish the minimum general requirements or provisions
necessary for the construction of works in all its specialties.
 Define the responsibilities and construction methods to ensure
operability, safety, constructability, and the expected quality, during
and after the execution of the work.
Minimize the risks for the contractor's contractors.
Requirements to start construction (Licenses / Socialization / Materials)
/ Contracts).
Analyze the availability of areas for access.
- Analyze and comment on the detected interferences and critical points in the
area to intervene.
Review the hiring strategy / execution of the construction of the
Project.
Check the status of purchases of required materials that allows for the
compliance with the Project objectives and establish options and/or
alternatives for the arrival of critical materials (if any).
Propose strategies to optimize construction times.
Identify and/or establish the temporary storage locations
materials and equipment machinery to be used in the Project.
- Generate ideas to identify the specific issues of the project and
discuss lessons learned applicable to the project.

Considerations that will impact the project execution strategy

1. How do you have the project structured in the planning and design part?
purchases, transportation, construction and commissioning of the facilities? (For
identify development problems and see what risks are taken
2. What times are planned or evaluated in the planning part,
design, purchasing, transportation, construction and commissioning of the facilities?
3. What mechanical care (Material stresses it withstands), dimensions and
What weight does the compressor consider?

4. What transportation routes are planned?

Moments of the constructability analysis:

Uninstall from the compressors:

Take the compressor out of service
Disconnection and verification of instrumentation and piping.
Clear the area of each compressor for the activity of
lifting of the compressor
Transfer from the compressors to the transport area:
 Crane location and crane safety logistics
Tie and secure the transfer of the equipment
Evaluate weather conditions and safety assessment
of the crane
Raise the equipment to the safety height and stabilize it
Download equipment in the specified area.
Modifications in the connections of the facilities for installation
functioning.
Evaluate the alignment of the instrumentation
Locate the new equipment for installation
Locate and install and conduct tests instrumentation and piping for the
connection on the team
Construction and verification of plant and equipment startup
Conduct operation tests
Load the compressors onto the transport vehicle.
Locate transportation and transportation logistics
Lift the load and stabilize it at transport height.
Prepare the transport for the unloading of the equipment.
Packaging of the equipment to protect its integrity
Download of the equipment at the designated site for towing
Transport the compressors
Check road conditions before transportation
Monitor the equipment along the route of the track
Evaluate the load and the vehicle during the transport route
Download the compressors from the transport vehicle.
Transfer of the compressors to the installation area
Modifications of the facility connections for operation
the compressors.

The needs for a constructability analysis will increase as much as the

opportunities as the project lifecycle progresses.
