This is the question of the ages. In fact, it is an interview question when I interview prospective project mangers. (not that we have been doing much hiring in '03). If you think you are a PM, you can prove it by taking about the differences in these two tools.
Primavera is very entrenched...
Hey jsi,
I'm a gas pipeline guy. 0.5% compressor fuel (called shrinkage in gas accounting) per 100 miles is not far off the mark. The 3.5% number is a bit high, but who knows what special circumstances were in that number.
You could get results from FERC form 2 submittals from the pipeline...
Hey IC Man,
You have a serious situation there. The electrical equipment at your regulator station is clearly not designed for the proper hazardous area classification.
That said, you may be igniting gas from switch contacts, but you may also be overheating some wiring, causing a fire...
Thanks for your insights RDK. I would point out that AMerican PM's are not all about commanding, we do understand the "leadership thing". ;)
I have always had a different take on mangement structures. i.e. the permanent functions of the company are run by the "line"...
RDK brings up an excellent point about NOT becoming a conduit of information from the project to senior management. This is a no-win role to play.
However, I see the scheduling problem a little more globaly. I suspect that Mangement may be misguided in creating a cross-project planning...
Simmantix,
Nice product. Based on your knowlege of the technique, can I use the same program for cost data to achieve a Monte Carlo simulation of my project budget?
Hottapr, is that a commercial for Red Flame? Can you tell us about some of the significant advances in welding technology for carbon steel pipe?
Reducing the line pressure simply reduces hoop stress, it has little to do with burn through. As with most pipeline technologies, it's OK if the...
Luis,
You ask a very important question, and I'm not sure a contract consultant can help find the answer.
When a client requests proposals for EPC work, it would not be financially prudent for them to spend a lot of money on engineering to put in the RFP. The contract that they hold with...
Most designers I know (industrial, energy and process industry) don't retain copyright for their designs. In my 18 years at this, I have never (nor has my employer) retained a copyright to a design. There are some exceptions for proprietary process designs, but the ownership is of the process...
Perhaps you spoke to the wrong department at TD Williams. While they do manufacture and sell equipment, they are also one of the few design/service contractors with experience in the type of tap you want to do.
As far as experienece, I have done two SOS taps like the one you wish to do. Both...
Interesting question. One reason the architect/owner want to make the buildings all the same is to save design costs. If you design it to work once, they ought to be able to build it several times. You're not Bill Gates selling software licences after all.
Of course your design will have a...
