• Owner / Client: Saudi Aramco
Engineering Duties:
• Engineering Scope Management & Control: reviewed and monitored mechanical / piping & pipeline design development by Saudi Aramco's approved GES+ (KBR-AMCDE) to ensure any changes in original project scope are properly documented and communicated technical input to project control department in case of cost / schedule claims to be raised to client.
• Design Optimization: reviewed mechanical / piping and pipeline engineering deliverables developed by GES+ and ensure design is workable, constructible & efficient.
• Below cost optimizations have been successfully implemented on design:
• Reduction of wall thickness requirement on pipelines which has great impact on pipes cost.
• Using Taper joints instead of Lamination joints on RTR pipeline which saved a huge cost on RTR pipes.
• Optimization of pumps, valve trims and small-bore piping materials
Construction / Pre-commissioning Duties:
• Assisted PM/CM in planning and execution of pipelines / piping construction and pre-commissioning activities related to below packages:
1) HDD Works: coordinated with sub-cont on design approval, permit processes, documentation, mobilization of HDD rigs and crew till successful execution of the crossing.
2) RTR Pipeline: managed and coordinated RTR design package, plan the resources (jointers, tools, kits, etc.), mobilizations, jointers qualifications till installation and pre- commissioning of the pipeline.
• Client Communications: to interact on daily basis with SA PMT counterpart engineers to make sure e-reviews, TQs, CRMs and other technical matters are well addressed in timely manner to support construction schedule.
