9. Site survey Checklist
3. Planing and coordinating
1. Plan for the scope within available time
2. Divide the task and work
3. Always help each other
4. Always take care of you and your subordinates
5. Follow the rules

4. Site Surveying
1. Have a walk through of the entaire piping system for Leakage, piping disengagement of su
Vibration, External corrosion, flymsy support or support member, and any further abnorma
2. Use appropriate tag to identifiy the line, valve or equipment
3. Use appropriate tools to measure and make note
4. Make note of all related info (Flange hole orientation, Demolision, construction, clearence a
5. Use checklist in survey so you know status and pending action

6. Make note of all the details which covered and which needs further action plan
7. Identifiy and markup the potential clash clearly
5. Safety rules
1. Do a risk Assesment
2. You must Intervene
3. Manage any change
3. Wear the correct PPE
4. Take time to talk
5. Communication between team members for the task and duties
6. Carry plenty of water with you
7. Have a short brake in between
5. Summary of survey
1. Address the summary to respective coordiantors for clarity of the understanding
2. Day to day communication to the coordinaters and to prepration of work pass

6. Site survey report

1. Prepare detail report of site survey for mutual understanding (Ste survey and Engineering t
2. Provide details of the existing site condition (overview)

Identify the best possible tie in location

Get the as build drawing of the existing piping system
Verify the support arrangement of the available piping system with respect to the as-Built isometrics and record the deviation
Identify the support type in the existing piping system up to fixed support (On either side of the Tie In)
Record any huge gaps and un-functional support (lift off or disengagement) in the piping system
Record any abnormalities like vibration, leak and unexpected disengagement of support, flimsy support member etc. in the live
Talk with operation and maintenance team to get more detail of the current working system as well to know the history of the sy
If possible collect photographs and video of the existing system in and around the identified tie in and other possibilities of tie in
