1. GENERAL SCOPE
R3 The intent of this document is to outline the minimum requirement in developing the
specific RTIP material and equipment protection/preservation plan by the Contractor
and/or the Purchaser, and should be used in conjunction with Schedule G and Q requirements.
This includes the appropriate coordination with the principles such as the Owner’s team
and the supplier/vendor to support the applicable warranty and life expectancy.
The Plan (s) must cover Equipment and Material Protection from the time the item is
being prepared for shipping at the source (by the Manufacturer or at Vendor Shop),
through shipping, site delivery/storage, and installation and/or the warehousing. The
Contractor and/or the Purchaser shall remain responsible for the proper execution of the
Equipment and Material Protection and Preservation Plan (Plan) until the Owner’s formal
written acceptance of the installation and/or turnover of the facility. The Plan shall
conform to Engineering Design and manufacturer’s requirements for storage and
preservation.
1.1 Responsibilities
1.1.1 RTIP Site Material Control Manager may oversee implementation of the Material
and Equipment Protection and Preservation Plan, including the roles and responsibilities
as indicated in the Equipment and Materials Protection Plan Work Process, employing
the appropriate equipment, piping, and bulk materials maintenance and preservation
procedures defined in this Plan.
1.1.3 Purchaser / buyer such as the contractor is responsible for the proper development
and execution of the Plan to support and provide the appropriate information for the Site
Material Handling/Storage as well as the Owner’s Maintenance and Warehousing
approach such as the data management software. The data management software shall
be able to deliver the data in a format for upload into the Owner’s Equipment
Maintenance System and Asset Management System.
1.1.4 Statutory Requirements: The Purchaser / Supplier shall mutually determine and
properly communicate the measures that must be taken to comply with all applicable
governmental codes, regulations, ordinances and rules which shall be applied as a first
precedence.
1.1.5 Purchaser’s equipment and/or material Work Group Leader (WGL) as the
Engineer of the record is responsible for requesting and reviewing equipment storage,
maintenance, and protection requirements provided by equipment suppliers. The
Equipment Preservation and Maintenance Log Summary (Appendix 2) or Supplier's
equivalent log shall be used by each WGL to document agreed requirements.
and/or technically justify the deferment of the engineering controls and shall obtain the
Owner’s concurrence. The Owner’s review and/or comment may also flag this upfront
design consideration and must be addressed appropriately.
1.1.7 Purchaser Site QA/QC Manager is responsible for reviewing the maintenance and
preservation procedures and performing the appropriate surveillances during the
implementation of this Material and Equipment Protection and Preservation Plan.
The Purchaser and Supplier shall mutually determine the measures that must be taken to
comply with all applicable governmental codes, regulations, ordinances and rules which
shall be applied as the first precedence.
The Contractor / Purchaser’s Plan must list the appropriate industry standards which may
apply to the equipment and material. As an example, the following document is
referenced herein and forms part of the standards. Current edition of the industry
standard shall apply unless otherwise indicated.
2.1 Scope
This section outlines the technical requirements for protection of equipment and
associated materials at the jobsite during the construction phase of the project. Jobsite
is defined as the temporary warehouse facilities (heated and unheated), lay down yard or
outside sheltered storage as well as the permanent equipment installation location.
The Contractor / Purchaser must include the other elements of the equipment and
material protection requirements in the Plan such as the requirements during the
shipping/transport.
2.2.1 These procedures are generally aligned with API 686 recommended practices, if
applicable, for jobsite protection and preservation for equipment, piping, and bulk
materials.
2.2.5 Storage and lay down areas shall be designed so that they are well drained. All
bulks stored outside shall be elevated above the ground and above the maximum water
run-off.
2.2.6 Protective covers and tarps are used to prevent contamination from blowing sand
and debris and shall be used in a manner that allows free air circulation around the bulks.
Covers or tarps shall not be sealed against the ground. Ventilation is needed to allow
moisture evaporation. Plastic tarps shall be used when appropriate with care to avoid
trapping moisture within the tarp and thus causing corrosion. This is especially sensitive
with rotating equipment. Woven or fabric moisture resistant tarps with impregnated vapor
corrosion inhibitors (VCI) are preferred.
2.2.7 Fibrous and other materials that can absorb moisture (e.g., pressed board,
cardboard, softwood, etc.) shall not be used as supports, spacers, separators, or covers.
Fibrous materials used in shipping crates and containers shall be removed and replaced
with suitable materials or the materials removed and suitably stored.
2.2.9 Arrangement for appropriate utilities must be in place for safe keeping of the
equipment such as the purge gas, heater power, etc.
2.2.11 All damaged and/or corroded materials shall be stored separately from
undamaged materials until corrective action is applied.
2.3 Documentation
2.3.1 Basic preservation and storage location requirements for individual equipment
items are outlined in the Equipment Preservation and Maintenance Log Summary
(Appendix 2). Preservation and storage location of auxiliary equipment and
instrumentation that is shipped loose shall follow the requirements contained in this plan,
depending upon how the auxiliaries are categorized.
2.3.3 For each equipment item, the type of preservation performed, the date each
activity was performed and the individual performing the preservation activity shall be
recorded. The original documentation will be maintained by the Purchaser Site Material
Control Manager and ultimately turned over to the Client with the project quality records.
2.3.4 Special storage and preventive maintenance activities as required for maintaining
extended warranties, if required, shall be included on the Construction Engineering
Maintenance Log Sheet (Appendix 3). The items for which this is required are identified
in the notes column of the Equipment Preservation and Maintenance Log Summary
(Appendix 2).
2.4.1 All interior and exterior surfaces shall be cleaned and dried as required before any
rust preventive materials are applied.
2.4.2 For interior surfaces of bearing housings, the preservative of choice is provided by
Cortec, who provides a vapor phase inhibitor product (VPI) with characteristics that will
maintain a lubricated and protected surface during cold weather conditions and for
extended periods. Most suppliers will agree to furnish their equipment with the
appropriate VPI product prior to leaving the shop if specified in the Purchase Order.
2.4.3 Mineral spirits such as Varsol or any Stoddard solvent, as applicable, shall be used
for cleaning exterior surfaces prior to application of any rust preventive compounds.
Kerosene or gasoline shall not be used as cleaning agents.
2.4.4 API Type D asphaltic preservatives should be avoided, as most asphaltic films are
very difficult to remove. Non-asphaltic inhibitors such as Cortec 368 provide excellent
long term storage protection.
2.4.5 The rust preventives to be used are defined below, based upon required usage.
Equivalent rust preventatives may be used with prior approval.
2.5.2 All equipment shipped with protective covers or plugs over openings, and applied
rust preventive coatings on exterior machined and threaded surfaces, shall be examined
on arrival at the jobsite:
2.5.3 After Supplier approval, the covers with their full-face gaskets will be removed,
inspected, and reinstalled.
a. Protective covers, plugs, and coatings, shall be renewed if not intact (Appendix
1Activity #3, #4). Length of time that covers and plugs are removed shall be kept to
a minimum.
b. If water or dirt has entered the equipment through damaged or improperly secured
covers and plugs, the equipment shall be cleaned and preserved before covers,
plugs, and coatings are restored (Activity #10).
c. If vapor phase inhibitors or desiccants are used to protect the interiors of mechanical
equipment, the seals shall be examined when the equipment is received at the
jobsite. Any damaged vapor seals shall be repaired or replaced, and the inhibitor or
desiccant renewed if necessary (Activity #15).
d. Vapor seals shall be protected and maintained until the equipment is serviced for
startup. Any damage to seals prior to such time shall be immediately repaired
(Activity #15).
e. Equipment that is shipped in export crating and designated for outdoor covered (OC)
storage may remain in the original crating for a maximum period of 4 months unless
otherwise specified by the manufacturer. Following the 4 month period, preventive
maintenance shall commence.
2.6 Machinery
b. After installation at their final service location, rotating equipment such as turbines
and expanders, fans, gear unit cases, agitators, pumps, blowers, and centrifugal
compressors shall be protected as follows:
1. Continue to maintain all internal surfaces of bearing housings and gear unit
cases using the specified (Manufacturer/Brand) preservative. Vent and drain
connections shall be plugged, capped, or blinded, as applicable, using steel
fittings. Blinds shall be gasketed. The preservative oil level shall be checked at
bi-weekly intervals and topped up to manufacturer’s specification
(Activity #8, #11, #14).
2. Clean shaft couplings and exposed machined surfaces and coat them with
EXTERIOR preservative (Activity #5, #6).
3. Cover the suction and discharge nozzles of centrifugal compressors, pumps, and
blowers with leak tight metal closures (or blinds), which shall remain in place until
hydrostatic testing, and flushing of connecting piping is completed. Blinds are to
have tabs, which clearly identify the blind's presence in the line (Activity #4).
4. If a pump is shipped with double mechanical seals installed, fill the entire seal
cavity with mechanical seal type lubricant (Activity #2).
5. Spare rotating elements shall be stored indoors and per the manufacturer's

shall be protected as follows:
b. Every three months, measure and record insulation resistance values (Activity #18)
of each winding of units rated 2300 volts and higher on the Construction Engineering
Equipment Maintenance Log Sheet. Record temperature and weather conditions at
time of reading. If resistance is low and cables have been connected, disconnect the
cables and repeat the measurements. If resistance of winding insulation only is low,
dry out leads in unit's terminal box by removing the cover and exposing to dry, clear
weather, or by placing an electric lamp or heater in the terminal box. If this does not
result in acceptable insulation resistance values, dry out the windings by an
approved method until acceptable values are obtained.
c. Six weeks before commissioning, measure and record insulation resistance values of
each winding of all units on the Construction Engineering Equipment Maintenance
Log Sheet. Record temperature and weather conditions at time of reading. If
resistance is low, proceed per Paragraph 2.7.3.b.
d. Immediately before commissioning measure and record insulation values of all units
with cables disconnected. If readings are low, dry out before starting.
2.7.4 After installation at the final service location, motors with grease lubricated
bearings shall be protected as follows:
R2 a. Every three months, measure and record insulation resistance values (Activity #18)
of each winding of units rated 2300 volts and higher on the Construction Engineering
Maintenance Log Sheet (Appendix 3). Record temperature and weather conditions
at time of reading. If resistance is low and cables have been connected, disconnect
the cables and repeat the measurements. If resistance of winding insulation only is
low, dry out leads in unit’s terminal box by removing cover and exposing to dry, clear
weather, or by placing an electric lamp or heater in the terminal box. If this does not
result in acceptable insulation resistance values, dry out the windings by an
approved method until acceptable values are obtained.
R2 b. Six weeks before commissioning, measure and record insulation resistance values of
each winding of all units on the Construction Engineering Maintenance Log Sheet
(Appendix 3). Record temperature and weather conditions at time of reading. If
resistance is low, proceed per Paragraph 2.7.4 a.
