A coordination problem in five phases — engineering to commissioning.
Full-cycle Project Management on a pig launcher pressure vessel: engineering, procurement, fabrication, testing, certification, delivery and commissioning — every phase traceable to ASME Section VIII and client specifications.
Client requirements captured: design pressure, temperature, fluid, flow rate and nominal diameter.
ASME Section VIII calculations — wall and nozzle thickness, materials, welding, internal pressure, connections.
Drawings and calculation memoranda submitted, reviewed and signed off with the client.
Controlled the engineering schedule and drove the design-approval loop to protect downstream dates.
Coordinated engineering, procurement, production, QA/QC and HSE across the five phases, holding the schedule, cost and quality baseline from PO to sign-off.
Dimensional control of plate and pipe against approved drawings.
Qualified welding procedures (WPS/PQR) executed with certified welders.
Pre-assembly release before final joining — every sub-assembly checked and signed off.
Non-destructive testing — VT, PT and RT — coordinated with the inspection body.
PM: construction schedule control, area coordination and weekly progress reports to the client.
Pressure test at 1.5× design pressure, witnessed and signed by the ASME inspector before any surface work.
Surface preparation and painting released only after hydrotest approval — sequencing protected the schedule and the finish.
QA/QC pack closed out: calculation memos, ITPs, as-builts, NDT and welding procedures, release protocols and final tests.
Coordinated the hydrotest with the ASME inspector, monitored execution and issued the approval to paint.
Coordinated rigging, transport and site installation with the client's logistics team.
Connection to process lines and instrumentation validated against the P&IDs.
On-site tightness tests witnessed with the client before start-up.
Transport coordination, on-time delivery and client sign-off — the trigger for invoicing.
A pressure vessel delivered on schedule, on budget and to ASME code — coordinated across engineering, procurement, fabrication, certification and commissioning by a single project owner.
