Case Studies

Sometimes there are large projects that, because of size or equipment expertise, end up being performed by multiple vendors. Sometimes they work independently of each other, but more often than not, they use their tried and true ways of documentation. This can lead to duplicity of utility connection requirements, or lack of the same.

CEG just completed the performance of services for just that situation for a regional steel manufacturer. The CEG engineering staff took the electrical and instrumentation drawings of six vendors, and combined them into (2) distinctive area spreadsheets, and (2) sets of interconnection drawings that allowed local electric contractors to bid the installation of electrical and instrumentation work.

These services required an on-site (6) week commitment of (2) employees. The first phase of the project corrected a (40)-page spreadsheet, and involved the review of over 500 drawings. The second phase of work involved the generation of a new (20)-page spreadsheet document, and the review of over 800 pertinent drawings. The final biddable project will include (60)-page spreadsheet with (2) parts, and a drawings package of (20) documents, consisting of (2) area-precise documents.

This work was coordinated with all the other disciplines of engineering such as structural, mechanical, and civil, so as to prevent typical interdisciplinary “gotchas” as construction ensues.
