POG has been working in oil and gas sector, where construction work involves physically construction of facilities, piping, infrastructure, etc which required for exploration, production, refining, or distribution. A successful EPC construction work requires collaboration among engineers, project managers, contractors, and skilled labor. Each project is unique, and attention to detail is crucial to ensure safe and efficient operations.
- Facility Construction:
- Onshore: For onshore projects, construction includes erecting processing plants, storage tanks, compressor stations, and other facilities. Contractors follow detailed engineering plans to build these structures.
- Offshore: Offshore construction involves installing platforms, pipelines, and top side equipment. Specialized vessels and piping are used to assemble and install components at sea.
- Pipelines and Flowlines:
- Pipeline Construction: Pipelines transport oil and gas over long distances. Construction involves welding, coating, and burying pipes. Stringent safety standards are followed.
- Flowline Installation: Flowlines connect wells to processing facilities. They are laid underground or underwater. Trenching, welding, and pressure testing are part of flowline construction.
- Equipment Installation:
- Mechanical Equipment: This includes pumps, compressors, turbines, and heat exchangers. Skilled technicians install and align these components.
- Electrical and Instrumentation: Electricians and instrument technicians install control systems, sensors, and electrical panels.
- Civil Works:
- Foundations: Proper foundations are critical for stability. Concrete or steel foundations support equipment, tanks, and structures.
- Roads and Access: Construction teams build roads, access points, and lay down temporary infrastructure for heavy equipment.
- Safety and Quality Assurance:
- HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment): Rigorous safety protocols are followed to protect workers and the environment. Safety training, personal protective equipment, and emergency procedures are essential.
- Quality Control: Inspections ensure that construction meets engineering specifications. Welding quality, material integrity, and adherence to codes are verified.
- Commissioning Preparation:
- Before commissioning, systems are tested, pre-commissioned, and prepared for operation. This includes flushing pipelines, calibrating instruments, and verifying equipment functionality.
