PREFACE
DEP (Design and Engineering Practice) publications reflect the views, at the time of publication, of Shell Global Solutions
International B.V. (Shell GSI) and, in some cases, of other Shell Companies.
These views are based on the experience acquired during involvement with the design, construction, operation and
maintenance of processing units and facilities. Where deemed appropriate DEPs are based on, or reference international,
regional, national and industry standards.
The objective is to set the standard for good design and engineering practice to be applied by Shell companies in oil and
gas production, oil refining, gas handling, gasification, chemical processing, or any other such facility, and thereby to help
achieve maximum technical and economic benefit from standardization.
The information set forth in these publications is provided to Shell companies for their consideration and decision to
implement. This is of particular importance where DEPs may not cover every requirement or diversity of condition at each
locality. The system of DEPs is expected to be sufficiently flexible to allow individual Operating Units to adapt the
information set forth in DEPs to their own environment and requirements.
When Contractors or Manufacturers/Suppliers use DEPs, they shall be solely responsible for such use, including the
quality of their work and the attainment of the required design and engineering standards. In particular, for those
requirements not specifically covered, the Principal will typically expect them to follow those design and engineering
practices that will achieve at least the same level of integrity as reflected in the DEPs. If in doubt, the Contractor or
Manufacturer/Supplier shall, without detracting from his own responsibility, consult the Principal.
The right to obtain and to use DEPs is restricted, and is granted by Shell GSI (and in some cases by other Shell
Companies) under a Service Agreement or a License Agreement. This right is granted primarily to Shell companies and
other companies receiving technical advice and services from Shell GSI or another Shell Company. Consequently, three
categories of users of DEPs can be distinguished:
1)
Operating Units having a Service Agreement with Shell GSI or another Shell Company. The use of DEPs by these
Operating Units is subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the relevant Service Agreement.
2)
Other parties who are authorised to use DEPs subject to appropriate contractual arrangements (whether as part of
a Service Agreement or otherwise).
3)
Contractors/subcontractors and Manufacturers/Suppliers under a contract with users referred to under 1) or 2)

which requires that tenders for projects, materials supplied or - generally - work performed on behalf of the said
users comply with the relevant standards.
Subject to any particular terms and conditions as may be set forth in specific agreements with users, Shell GSI disclaims
any liability of whatsoever nature for any damage (including injury or death) suffered by any company or person
whomsoever as a result of or in connection with the use, application or implementation of any DEP, combination of DEPs
or any part thereof, even if it is wholly or partly caused by negligence on the part of Shell GSI or other Shell Company. The
benefit of this disclaimer shall inure in all respects to Shell GSI and/or any Shell Company, or companies affiliated to these
companies, that may issue DEPs or advise or require the use of DEPs.
Without prejudice to any specific terms in respect of confidentiality under relevant contractual arrangements, DEPs shall
not, without the prior written consent of Shell GSI, be disclosed by users to any company or person whomsoever and the
DEPs shall be used exclusively for the purpose for which they have been provided to the user. They shall be returned after
use, including any copies which shall only be made by users with the express prior written consent of Shell GSI. The
copyright of DEPs vests in Shell Group of companies. Users shall arrange for DEPs to be held in safe custody and Shell
GSI may at any time require information satisfactory to them in order to ascertain how users implement this requirement.
All administrative queries should be directed to the DEP Administrator in Shell GSI.

and Execute (detailed engineering) phase of projects for:
3D-CAD models.
3D-CAD visualisation and use of 3D-CAD features.
Model review sessions.
Level of detail for the Define Phase is described in (4), 3D-CAD Model. The quality of the
model content shall be communicated to the Principal (i.e. content model based on
preliminary information, piping based on dummy/standard specifications, etc.).
Visualisation tools other than 3D-CAD tools (e.g. virtual reality) are not covered by this
DEP. The use of such tools is subject to the agreement of the Principal.
This is a revision of the DEP of the same number dated January 2005; a summary of the
main changes is given in (1.5).
1.2
DISTRIBUTION, INTENDED USE AND REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS

Unless otherwise authorised by Shell GSI, the distribution of this DEP is confined to Shell
companies and, where necessary, to Contractors and Manufacturers/Suppliers nominated
by them. Any authorised access to DEPs does not for that reason constitute an
authorization to any documents, data or information to which the DEPs may refer.
This DEP is intended for use in facilities related to oil and gas production, gas handling, oil
refining, chemical processing, gasification, distribution and supply/marketing. This DEP
may also be applied in other similar facilities.
When DEPs are applied, a Management of Change (MOC) process shall be implemented;
this is of particular importance when existing facilities are to be modified.
If national and/or local regulations exist in which some of the requirements could be more
stringent than in this DEP, the Contractor shall determine by careful scrutiny which of the
requirements are the more stringent and which combination of requirements will be
acceptable with regards to the safety, environmental, economic and legal aspects. In all
cases the Contractor shall inform the Principal of any deviation from the requirements of
this DEP which is considered to be necessary in order to comply with national and/or local
regulations. The Principal may then negotiate with the Authorities concerned, the objective
being to obtain agreement to follow this DEP as closely as possible.

GENERAL
In the course of the Define stage of a project, the construction of a 3D-CAD block model
may be useful depending on the type, size and complexity of the plant.
In the early phase of a project, the 3D modelling tool may be used for locating the buildings,
main equipment and the main pipe routings.
As part of BDEP (Define) Phase, a 3D-CAD block model should be constructed.
As part of the Execute Phase (detail engineering) a 3D-CAD model shall be constructed.
A 3D-CAD system is a design tool for the Contractor and an integral part of the design and
engineering process. The visualisation used for the 3D-CAD "model review" is only one of
the features of a 3D-CAD system.
The 3D-CAD model reviews are performed by the Contractor at 3 stages during the design.
The 3D-CAD system also provides a clash free design for all engineering disciplines
involved, all the construction drawings and can assist in controlling the construction
materials (through listings per unit, rack or class).
The model provides a visual check on safety, operability, accessibility, maintainability and
facilitates the engineering and erection of the units (erection path can be implemented in
the model). It may also be used for the training of operators (including safety training) and
for the planning of efficient maintenance schedules, to assist construction work (e.g.
handling of heavy or large equipment) and commissioning planning.

MODEL REVIEWS
3.1
GENERAL
The Contractor shall perform formal 30 %, 60 % and 90 % model reviews to check that the
arrangements meet the Principal's requirements.
The purpose of a 30 % model review in the Execute Phase, is to freeze the basic plot
layout and to reach agreement on the proposed design to enable the Contractor to proceed
into detail design. Where plot layout is critical, and as such affects feasibility, it is required
to be executed as part of the BDEP (Define) Phase of the project.
The purpose of the 60 % model review in the Execute Phase, is to confirm the design is
in-line with the PEFS, Supplier data and all other design relevant documentation. After the
review the Contractor should be able to finalise the deliverables for construction.
The purpose of the 90 % model review in the Execute Phase, is to confirm on the
comments from the 60 % and to finalise on the total design of the model.
These reviews should be undertaken in detail, checking each unit for safety routes,
operability, maintainability, accessibility and constructability and checking each system in
the unit using the PEFS to make item-by-item checks.
The modifications initiated during previous model reviews shall be implemented before the
next official model review.
The Contractor shall perform in-house model checks prior to the formal model reviews. The
results of these in-house reviews shall be documented. Any changes which impact the
results from prior reviews shall be brought forward to the Principal at start of the formal
review.
All items as listed for the relevant 30 %, 60 % and 90 % model reviews shall be part of the
3D model. Any deviation from the lists shall be reported by the Contractor to the Principal,
well in advance of the formal 3D model review.
Any necessary changes shall be agreed upon and immediately recorded and shall be
marked with reference numbers and model pictures to allow proper follow up and to avoid
misunderstanding.
From each formal 3D-CAD model review, an electronic copy of the presented model shall
be saved by the Contractor and handed over to the Principal (if required).
When the Contractor, during the BDEP (Define) Phase, constructs a 3D-CAD block model,
model reviews have to be held to check that the arrangements meet the Principals
requirements. See (5): BDEP Define phase.
3.2
TOOLS
A 3D-CAD model presentation for a group of people should be performed using a large
screen having a high resolution. Point-to-point distance measurements shall be possible on
request, to be able to verify compliance to clearance and access requirements or approve
slight deviations. Main computer manipulations, such as switching to another process unit
should not take more than 2 minutes. Reference items, mobile cranes, bundle pulling
equipment, etc. and an operator of the same scale as the model under review, shall be
available. The model operator's dimensions shall be conform to the the workspace design
requirements of DEP 30.00.60.20-Gen. Deviations or "cultural calibration" can be done on
regional level and approved by the appropriate HFE TA.
It should be possible to save snapshots and to indicate on the overall picture (e.g. projected
in the corner of the screen) where the review detail is located.
The full model presentation should be given in a darkened room with sufficient dimmed light
to enable drawings to be read and notes to be made without interfering with the
presentation. The review must be held in a room that is fit for purpose (enough space and
good view on the 3D model). A sufficient number of pointers should be available to point to
items shown on the screen and to improve the efficiency of discussions.
DEP 30.10.05.11-Gen.

The following information shall be available in clear legible prints for all participants:
a) Process Flow Schemes (30 %);
b) Process Engineering Flow Schemes (60 %, 30 % as far as available);
c) Plot Plan;
d) Equipment arrangements;
e) Line List + Critical Line List (through computer access to project documentation
system during review);
f) Individual equipment information, data sheets (on request);
g) Civil structural drawings (on request);
h) Stress calculations (on request);
i) Piping studies (through computer access to a dedicated electronic folder during
review);
j) Material (equipment) handling studies;
k) Fire safety studies;
l) HSE reviews;
m) Listing of agreed standards;
n) Level of completeness of model (Clash report) and quality of catalogues.
3.3
TEAM COMPOSITION
A team leader from the Contractor shall be appointed who is fully familiar with the project,
the model and the 3D-CAD system capabilities. The team leader shall guide the team
through the model with the assistance of the system operator. The team leader shall be
responsible for the efficiency of the review process, the adequate reporting of comments
made and the subsequent follow-up.
The efficiency of the model review largely depends on the experience and knowledge of the
system operator and secretary. Both the system operator and secretary shall be fluent in the
project language, and should understand the technical terms used within the industry. The
system operator should be heavily involved in the design of (the area of) the model under
review. He is familiar with the technical content of the model and can clarify the design to
the team members when necessary. A secretary shall be available to take meeting notes,
and throughout the full review, take down any comments without discussion,
To prevent specialist sub-meetings during a model review, which distract the attention of
other team members, teams should not be larger than 10 members excluding the
contractor specialists. If a larger number of people is necessary for a model review
separate teams should be formed of members with a common interest in the subject(s)
under review. Each team shall than review the model independently, and at the end of the
review the team leader shall plenary discuss any conflicting recommendations made by
each individual team.
The composition of the review team depends on the progress of the model.
3.4.
HANDLING OF COMMENTS
The 3D Model Review Minutes shall encompass all the comments made in the session,
state the actions to be taken, the responsibilities and time frame of implementation
After every review (30 %, 60 %, 90 %), the Principal team shall decide if the level of
completion of the model is in line with the requirements defined in (6.2) and (6.3).
Shortcomings in the degree of completion shall be highlighted and, after correction,
checked in the next review, or in an additional review depending on the degree of
incompleteness and the project schedule.
DEP 30.10.05.11-Gen.
February 2012
Page 10
Comments on the model shall be electronically tagged during the review. The 3D-CAD tools
should have sequence reference facilities to describe the comments given by the review
team. The text of each reference shall be complete and unambiguous and include a
snapshot to avoid confusion in a later stage of the review process. Electronic tag files shall
be archived as a permanent record of review comments. A Log List shall be applied for the
Review Sessions in order to keep record for all comments.
The team leader shall co-ordinate the tag handling process. The tagged items shall be
reviewed by the Contractor within 2 weeks and a record shall be produced showing which
tag items will be implemented or rejected, with reasoning. The relevant specialist or
technical authority as appropriate shall be consulted, and the other team members shall be
informed, before a tag item is deleted or significantly changed.
The Contractor may proceed when deviations or non compliances are agreed and
approved by the appropriate TA present in the 3D model review. However audit trail for
deviation/ derogation register shall be followed up by the Shell project team.
Before the next review starts, all agreed tag items shall be implemented in the 3D-CAD
model.

3D-CAD MODEL
4.1
GENERAL
The 3D-CAD model is a collection of graphical data which describes the facilities of a plant
or offshore installation for design and visualisation purposes.
The 3D-CAD model can be accessed via a 3D-CAD system. The graphical data is an
integral part of an engineering database supporting the design process.
The 3D-CAD engineering database enables the integration and consistency of the different
design stages and the different subjects, such as piping, foundations, tabletops, steel
structures, equipment, instrumentation, electrical equipment, buildings and Heating,
Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) equipment into one 3D-model.
Typical deliverables of a 3D-CAD system include:
a) Detailed engineering drawings such as plan and elevation drawings for piping,
structural, civil, instrumentation and electrical;
b) Plot plans;
c) Plot elevation drawings;
d) Piping isometrics;
e) Vessel trim isometrics;
f)
Commissioning system drawings;
g) Material Take-off (Bills of Material);

h) Reports such as line lists, instrument data, interference checks (clash reports) and
valve data.
Each discipline should create their design within the 3D model, only then an interference
free design can be ensured.
The Contractor has to inform the Principal before the formal 30 % 3D model review, which
individual disciplines (e.g. piping, structural, civil, electrical, etc.) are creating their designs
in the 3D-CAD model and which deliverables each discipline extracts from the 3D-CAD
model.
4.2
SAFETY, OPERATIONAL AND MAINTENANCE ASPECTS

The 3D-CAD system shall be structured in such a way that all disciplines involved can
check whether sound design and engineering criteria have been met with respect to safety,
operability and maintenance and facilitate the engineering and erection of the plant.
This shall include accessibility for maintenance, operations and fire fighting, location of
valves, constructability, process instrumentation, routing of the piping adequate for the
process, location of emergency shut-down stations, proper and safe location of vents and
drains, engine exhausts, accommodation air intakes, location of fire protection and firefighting equipment, access egress and escape routes.
4.3
AT THE CONSTRUCTION SITE

A 3D-CAD review system should be made available at site, to provide information during
construction for aspects such as transport and erection of equipment, the routing of piping,
positioning of structural steel, platforms, cable trenches, trunking and channels.
During the construction of the process unit the pre-defined free areas (e.g. maintenance
space, escape routes) in the 3D-CAD model shall remain free from items that are not
presented in the 3D-model, though are constructed in the field (e.g. small bore piping,
tubing, secondary cable trenches, tracing.)
Contractor has to check the availability of free space in the 3D model, prior to field route
piping, instruments or electrical trenches.
DEP 30.10.05.11-Gen.
February 2012
Page 12
4.4
INSTRUCTION
The 3D-CAD model may be used for training and instruction of plant operators, construction
staff, maintenance staff and emergency response organisation.
4.5
FEATURES WITH 3D-CAD TECHNOLOGY

The required features shall be agreed between the Principal and the Contractor before the
set-up of the 3D-CAD system and engineering database is started.
The 3D-CAD system should be programmed to provide reports regarding situations where
certain criteria are not met. This approach can substantially improve the efficiency of the
model review. Only the differences to the criteria need to be checked during the model
review.
The application of 3D-CAD technology allows:
a) Definition of classified 3D-shapes (soft boxes) to indicate free volumes in order to:
Check for the absence of unwanted equipment in certain area classification
zones;
Check headroom available;
Check accessibility for inline instruments;
Check absence of tripping hazards;
Check absence of obstructions in access and escape routes;
Check correct location of valve handwheels;
Check for reach and clearance for activities;
Check vertical access for lifting and cranes.
b) Identification of deviations from normal engineering practices;
c) Modelling of foundations and underground systems;
d) Combining a 3D-CAD model with a 3D scanned model from the existing situation at
the site;
e) Review of proposed material handling strategies and equipment design.
4.6
REQUIREMENTS
Where practical, the colours used in the 3D-CAD model shall be in accordance with
(Appendix I). The 3D-CAD design lead engineer is to advise if specific colour coding is
achievable. The Principal shall approve alternative colour convention.
Colour coding shall also be used to indicate the status of equipment, valves and piping
during the various model reviews (i.e. built according to final information or indicative only).

BDEP (DEFINE PHASE)
5.1
3D-CAD BLOCK MODEL GENERAL

A block model means that the representation of the equipment as shown is for visualisation
purpose only because of the absence of more detailed information on the items.
The project specific specifications for modelling the individual components are usually not
yet created in the 3D system at this phase in a project.
The 3D-CAD block model may be used for evaluating different lay-out options and to
establish the location of main equipment and the main pipe routings, taking into account the
required safety distances and accessibility for construction, operation and maintenance.
After approval of the layout by the Principal, it can be used as a basis for preparing a more
detailed (initial) plot plan drawing.
When a 3D-CAD block model has been made it should be used as the basis on which
further 3D-CAD modelling will be developed.
5.2
CONSTRUCTION
In a 3D-CAD block model, the equipment, buildings etc. shall be modelled in a simplified
way.
All different types of components modelled, shall have their own colour coding (see
Appendix I).
Plant layout studies and piping studies form the basis of the model. These studies will also
establish pipe track widths, structures, etc. The routing of main electrical and instrument
cable trenches and access ways / roads should be shown.

adequate recording of comments and for the subsequent follow-up.
Since the 3D block model shows the main separation distances between plants, storage
areas, buildings and main equipment inside plants which are the basis for a safe, operable
and maintainable complex, the model should be reviewed during the earliest stage of the
Define engineering activities by a team representing at least the following disciplines:
Process technology;
Operations;
Maintenance;
Plant lay-out;
Technical safety;
Civil/ Structural;
Human factors engineering;
Mechanical;
Electrical;
Construction;
Projects.

Handling of comments
After the 3D block model review, the agreed comments shall be distributed to the
representatives and be implemented in the model. It should be agreed whether a second
review is required.
5.4.5
Define engineering phase model reviews

When model reviews are performed during the Define Engineering Phase, the value to the
project and the quality of the model needs to be defined by the Contractor and agreed with
the Principal. The reviews held can also follow the 30 % to 90 % review timing and checklist
as guidance, but quality and the reviewed content shall be concluded before the meetings.
Reviews held in the Define Phase can in some cases receive the Execute Phase
completeness level, when the documents to which the 3D model was built are in the issue
status level as indicated below. During an official 3D model review, the completeness
level of the model has to conform to the requirements as given in (6.2), (6.3), (6.4) or (6.5).

3D Model catalogue specifications

At the start of a project in the Define Phase, there are usually no project specific
specifications loaded in the 3D model catalogue. To be able to create components in the
model, the Contractor can start the first modelling work by using standard specifications.
The Contractor shall fill the 3D model catalogue with project specifications at the start of the
projects execute phase and at the 30 % model review all individual discipline project
specifications shall be in the 3D model (piping, instrumentation, electrical, civil, etc.)
All components at the 30 % model review shall be modelled according to the project
specifications.
Project specific components, which are falling outside the normal discipline specifications,
have to be developed during the execution phase. Until the time that the project specific
component are developed, a replacement component should be used indicating the outline
of the item. Until the final dimensions of the project specific component are known,
conservative outline dimensions should be taken into account.

EXECUTE PHASE (DETAIL ENGINEERING)
6.1
3D-CAD MODEL GENERAL

Prior to the official model reviews, the Contractor has to confirm in writing to the Principal
that the content of the model is according to the 30 %, 60 % and 90 % listing. See (6.2) to
(6.7).
The model shall also be in-line with the latest revision of the PEFS and equipment
information. Deviations shall be reported to the Principal well in advance of the official
model review.
The 3D-model shall be checked against the latest issue of the PEFS, equipment
information and plot layouts (when not extracted from the model).
Team review members shall be given adequate notice (approximately 3 months and
confirmation 6 weeks) before the review date, and they shall be informed of the location,
duration, participants, type of review and the type and number of drawings, which are the
basic documents for the constructed model under review.
Before a model review starts, relevant documentation shall be made available to the
members of the review team for prior familiarisation:
30 % model review:
plot lay-out drawings and Process Flow Sheets;
60 % model review:
Minutes of Meeting of the 30 % model review with

status of follow up comments, plot layout drawings.
The actual process design as given on the PEFS should not be checked during the model
review. If the model review, however, leads to a more economical solution without
jeopardising the design functionality or safety, this change may be implemented and the
PEFS shall be made consistent with the 3D-CAD model. Such proposals shall be brought
to the attention of the project manager.
Mark on the 3D-CAD system or on the PEFS all the pipes, equipment and instrumentation
that have been checked and accepted.
Indicate the points that have not been accepted, to facilitate the review in follow-up checks.
Ensure that when a modification is proposed it suits its purpose, and does not conflict with
other requirements. Ensure that it is practical, safe, in accordance with the PEFS and also
economic. If in doubt, consult the appropriate specialists of other disciplines.
The checklist of (Appendix II) should be used during the model review. Note that the
checklist is not exhaustive and shall not overrule the detail design requirements contained
in the project specifications where appropriate. Detailed design requirements associated
with the checklist items can be found in the following documents:

The progress of the model is expressed in the percentage completed compared to the final
engineering.
Reviews of the model shall take place when the engineering as reflected in the model is
30 %, 60 % and 90 % complete.
The line-up shall be followed systematically and strict attention shall be paid to details,
since seemingly minor items can cause accidents. Start, for instance, with an overall view
of the complete plant, then zoom in on the applicable plot and review unit by unit. For each
unit give an explanation of the functionality, point out the main equipment and the critical
pipe lines. Review the location philosophy, the maintenance access, safety routes and the
operatability of all equipment. Review the critical line routings and location of the valves.
Sub-contracted work and package Supplier equipment shall be shown in the model with the
same level of detail as described above. The main engineering Contractor shall translate
any engineering deliverables available from the above mentioned sub-contractors into the
plant 3D Model. Only in the case that the spec for package units identifies such for a
specific package unit, an alternative method shall be used. For this reason, a specification
for human factors engineering and review requirements should be set-up and discussed
with the Supplier during the bid clarification meeting.

APPENDIX II
CHECKLIST FOR THE MODEL REVIEW
In this appendix, checkpoints are given for the review of a 3D-CAD model. The checklist will
help to improve quality and to identify and eliminate potentially hazardous situations. The
checklist shall be read in close consultation with the appropriate project design
specifications.
The scope of this checklist is applicable to oil refineries, chemical plants, gas plants,
exploration and production facilities (onshore and offshore), supply/marketing installations
and to specific items such as storage facilities and/or jetties, road/rail loading facilities and
complicated manifolds.
The checklist is comprehensive but should not be considered to be fully exhaustive.
1.
GENERAL SAFETY AND OPERABILITY
1.1
Consider all equipment with respect to its human factors engineering

aspects. This includes accessibility, operability and maintenance as well as
safety. This applies in particular for accessibility to pump suction and
discharge valves and motor operated valves.
1.2
Check proper escape routes from elevated equipment and all platforms.
Check that at least two exits are present on every platform with a blind length
of over 7 m (23 ft) long. This applies for platforms at structures, around and
underneath air-cooled heat exchangers, vessels, on top of furnaces and
frequently used working areas by maintenance. Have ladders and staircases
been installed on the outside of structures?
1.3
Check that there are no obstructions in the path of escape ways and that
escapes ways are as straight as practical. Ensure the exit is directed away
from a process area. All staircases should route at ground level to an open
area to allow an unobstructed escape way.
1.4
Check that there are no head knockers, shin splitters or tripping hazards.
1.5
Are remote shutdown panels of Remotely Operated Valves (ROVs) and

depressuring valves installed at safe distances and can they be easily
reached in case of emergency? Can the equipment concerned be seen from
these locations?
1.6
Check for proper smooth connections between platforms and table tops.
1.7
Are emergency/smothering steam headers at a safe distance from the

equipment to be protected, e.g. in hydrogen service or furnaces?
1.8
Check that operators manipulating drain valves of open drain systems can
see the drained effluent. Provide tundishes as required.
1.9
Check that water seals trapped in goosenecks can be displaced by

hydrocarbons, i.e. ensure enough static head of oil is available.
1.10
Check if utility stations have been provided at the main operational platforms,
especially at columns operating at high temperatures, so that steam lances
can be connected to tackle small leaks
1.11
Have platforms been provided at places where work is expected during

shutdowns? Consider also access to spading at those places where
scaffolding would be a nuisance, expensive or unsafe. (In such cases install
additional platforms or adapt existing platforms). Platforms large enough shall
be sufficient strong to carry the additional weight if they are used to store
spades.
1.12
Check that there are no open sewer pits near hot pumps, furnaces, etc.
NA

1.13
Check that steam exhaust cannot cause personnel hazards, either from
spraying droplets of hot water or by causing icy or wet surfaces.
1.14
Are steam rings provided where specified?
1.15
Be alert for the possibility of relative movement between connected

equipment (e.g. due to different thermal expansion or wind load).
1.16
Check that inlet valves of silencers on steam pipes for warming up or start up
are operable in a safe manner without risk of pouring hot condensate from
the silencer outlet on the operator below.
1.17
Are hot and cold pipes and surfaces near walkways properly insulated for
personnel protection?
1.18
Check that the suction of the air blower of an analyser house or control room
is taken from a non-hazardous area.

handling very light liquids such as propane and butane shall be located:
in the open;
in non-congested areas;
at least 3 m (10 ft) from pipe racks and major process
structures;
so that they are accessible for fire fighting;
so that escalation of a possible pool fire from, e.g. a seal
failure, is prevented
2.6
Only pumps handling burnable liquids below their auto-ignition temperature

may be placed in between a pipe rack and equipment like columns.
These pumps should be 3 m (10 ft) away from pipe racks and major
process structures and accessible for fire fighting.
2.7
Only pumps handling non-flammable liquids may be placed under pipe

racks or structures.
2.8
Can hot pumps be properly protected by fire water spray systems or

pumps).
8.2
Check that manholes are within reach of hoisting equipment? Ensure

proper space on platforms for turning the manhole covers and for entering
equipment.
8.3
Are instrument tappings and local instruments and level glasses readily

flare pipe is still in use, ensure that there is enough space to do the work.
Check that there is a proper escape way from this platform.
9.4
Check that inlet pipes to relief valves are self-draining into process
equipment. Relief valves should be located on the main process header.
9.5
Check that outlet pipes from relief valves are self-draining into the flare
header. An exception may be made for liquid (DN 25 DN 25) thermal relief
valves which do not need to be self-draining on both sides if the pipes
would become too long. Check that connections are made on top or on the
side of the flare header.
Ensure that process relief valves and process thermal relief valves are not
routed to grade. They should end in a closed system.
9.6
Check the accessibility of relief valves sets for maintenance and inspection.
Have relief valves been installed at proper elevations relative to the flare
