Project Outline:
Synertec provided project management methodology, site supervision along with engineering consultancy and procurement.
Procurement
Because the deadline of the project was so short, procurement played a large part in the installation of the plant. The process required that Synertec conduct the procurement and installation of the electrical equipment on a "just-in-time" (JIT) basis.
Site Supervision of Electrical Contractors
- Collaborate with the Electrical Contractor Team Leader to organize work for the day
- Provide design support for the electricians and designers
- Check if the electricians are wiring to the electrical drawings
Implementation and Design
- Liaise with the suppliers and designers to comply with the equipment design
- Comply with design requirements and operational functionality
- Design and update safety circuitry, power circuitry, schematic circuitry and device net communication circuitry
Commissioning and Programming
- Structure programming was developed to comply with client specifications
- Repair of all non conformance
- Programming Baseline
- Check all installation for factory acceptance, Installation Quality and Performance Quality
