• Ensure piping systems are installed according to approved engineering drawings, specifications, applicable codes and project requirements.
• Review piping routing and provide solutions for constructability, accessibility, maintainability and operational requirements.
• Identify and resolve piping clashes, installation constraints and engineering discrepancies encountered during construction.
• Coordinate piping interfaces with mechanical equipment, structures, electrical systems, instrumentation and other engineering disciplines.
• Review and provide technical input for piping modifications and field-routing requirements.
• Provide engineering solutions for site-generated Technical Queries (TQ), Requests for Information (RFI) and design changes.
• Lead technical discussions with contractors, vendors, consultants and other project stakeholders.
• Monitor piping fabrication, erection and installation activities and ensure compliance with project specifications.
• Review installation of pipes, valves, fittings, flanges, expansion joints and other piping components.
• Review and coordinate standard and special pipe support installation.
• Ensure appropriate piping materials and components are used according to piping classes and specifications.
• Support material take-off, material reconciliation and resolution of piping material shortages where required.
• Coordinate piping fabrication activities with fabrication shops and site teams.
• Review piping welding activities and coordinate technical requirements with QA/QC personnel.
• Support review of welding documentation including WPS/PQR and welding-related requirements where applicable.
• Coordinate with QA/QC teams regarding NDT, inspection and piping acceptance requirements.
• Lead and/or participate in piping system walkdowns.
• Manage and coordinate piping punch-list identification, categorisation and closure.
• Review system boundaries and determine piping readiness for testing and mechanical completion.
• Review and coordinate hydrostatic and pneumatic pressure testing activities.
• Review piping test packages and confirm systems are ready for testing.
• Coordinate piping flushing, cleaning, air blowing, steam blowing and other pre-commissioning activities where applicable.
• Coordinate system reinstatement following pressure testing and cleaning activities.
• Ensure correct installation, orientation and accessibility of valves and inline piping equipment.
• Coordinate piping tie-ins and modifications to existing or interfacing systems.
• Support mechanical completion and ensure piping systems are ready for handover to the commissioning team.
• Provide technical support during pre-commissioning, commissioning, start-up and system handover.
• Coordinate piping interfaces with equipment such as boilers, steam turbines, pumps, tanks, vessels, heat exchangers, compressors and other process equipment.
• Review contractor method statements and risk assessments for piping activities.
• Monitor contractor performance, productivity, quality and progress against the project schedule.
• Identify potential construction or engineering delays and support development of corrective actions.
• Participate in engineering, construction, commissioning and progress meetings.
• Coordinate closely with project management, construction management, QA/QC, HSE and commissioning teams.
• Review red-line drawings and ensure accurate preparation of final as-built documentation.
• Ensure all piping engineering and construction documentation is properly maintained.
• Ensure piping activities comply with applicable Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) requirements.
• Promote safe working practices and ensure activities comply with approved method statements, risk assessments and permit-to-work requirements.
