Klappentext Comprehensive resource discussing the effective delivery of projects to install and commission complex, high performance instrumentation and controls in process and related plantsThe Handbook of Construction Management for Instrumentation and Controls is a detailed guide discussing the many nuanced aspects required to deliver projects to install and commission complex, high performance instrumentation and controls. While standards and instrument manufacturer data are always available, the effective delivery of such projects involves much more than just fitting instruments on panels. This book digs into the specifics to provide actionable and practical guidance.This handbook includes information on:* Site administration, including planning and scheduling, site safety, and contractor permits-to-work* Material management and manpower planning, instrument calibration, controller tuning, results recording, and participation in plant commissioning exercises* Site operations, including the principles of equipment installation and testing for a huge range of instrument and control types. Documenting the results* QA & QC procedures, commissioning, and site handover, and forms and checklists that can be used on real installation and commissioning projectsWith comprehensive and highly practical coverage of the subject, The Handbook of Construction Management for Instrumentation and Controls is an essential resource for professionals working in general contractors, consulting engineers, construction managers, and specialty contractors and subcontractors. Zusammenfassung HANDBOOK OF CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT FOR INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROLSLearn to effectively install and commission complex, high-performance instrumentation and controls in modern process plantsIn Handbook of Construction Management for Instrumentation and Controls, a team of experienced engineers delivers an expert discussion of what is required to install and commission complex, high-performance instrumentation and controls. The authors explain why, despite the ubiquitous availability of diverse international standards and instrument manufacturer data, the effective delivery of such projects involves significantly more than simply fitting instruments on panels.The book covers material including site management, administration, operations, site safety, material management, workforce planning, instrument installation and cabling, instrument calibration, loop check and controller tuning, results recording, and participation in plant commissioning exercises. It also provides an extensive compendium...
