<strong>Transitioning</strong> <strong>from</strong> <strong>Area</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>System</strong> <strong>Based</strong> <strong>Construction</strong><strong>Presented</strong> <strong>by</strong>: Sean PrzyCOAA Workface Planning ForumCalgary, Alberta December 1 2010
Opening<strong>System</strong> <strong>Based</strong> <strong>Construction</strong>- The challenges common <strong>to</strong> mostprojects can be anticipated.- Because these challenges can beanticipated, they can be planned for.2
Presentation OutlineDefine <strong>Area</strong> vs. <strong>System</strong> based <strong>Construction</strong>.Why & how the transition occurs. Is transitioning the problem?What are the significant challenges we face during system construction?• What are some of the mitigating actions we may take <strong>to</strong> reduce their impact.3

Common Challenges During <strong>System</strong> <strong>Construction</strong>Quality IssuesLate Engineering & MaterialsProductivity IssuesProgress & Productivity Measurement8
Quality IssuesThe Challenge<strong>Construction</strong> DeficienciesVendor & Fabrication DeficienciesEngineering DeficienciesDocumentation / Turnover DeficienciesPotential SolutionsRegular and meaningful Quality Audits. Identify trends early.Use of the “Scorecard” <strong>to</strong> not only verify progress but <strong>to</strong> perform targetedinspections during construction through In-Process Verification.Source Inspection with early involvement <strong>from</strong> Operations personnel.Early identification of RFI during Work Face Planning & Packaging.Early system definition which allows for effective packaging of qualityrecords for system turnover.9
Late Engineering & MaterialsThe Challenge• Capacity <strong>to</strong> absorb late engineering changes or material deliveriesdecreases substantially.Potential Solutions• Early identification of pending engineering changes or late materialdeliveries <strong>to</strong> permit recovery planning.10
Productivity IssuesThe ChallengeIncreased Travel & Support Requirements.Increased Safety Awareness RequirementsMotivational & Terri<strong>to</strong>rial IssuesPotential SolutionsFind a middle ground between system priorities and area based efficienciesthrough effective Field Installation Work Packaging. Package deficiencywork in same manner as original commodities.Work under system priority only as needed and accept that productivity willbe impacted and plan accordingly.Integrated planning that anticipates energized systems, hydro test exclusionareas, etc.Work Packaging during <strong>System</strong> <strong>Based</strong> <strong>Construction</strong> adhering <strong>to</strong> geographicboundaries used during <strong>Area</strong> <strong>Construction</strong>.11
Progress & Productivity MeasurementThe Challenge• Rate of progress drops significantly during system construction.Potential Solutions• We need <strong>to</strong> take a closer look at how we measure progress up <strong>to</strong> andduring this stage of the project. Anticipated work is being performedhowever there is no progress <strong>to</strong> earn against.12
ClosingThese challenges are real andcannot be eliminated.We can, however plan for themand manage our way throughthem.13
