Handbook of Construction Management for Instrumentation and Controls

Learn to effectively install and commission complex, high-performance instrumentation and controls in modern process plants

In Handbook of Construction Management for Instrumentation and Controls, a team of experienced engineers delivers an expert discussion of what is required to install and commission complex, high-performance instrumentation and controls. The authors explain why, despite the ubiquitous availability of diverse international standards and instrument manufacturer data, the effective delivery of such projects involves significantly more than simply fitting instruments on panels.

The book covers material including site management, administration, operations, site safety, material management, workforce planning, instrument installation and cabling, instrument calibration, loop check and controller tuning, results recording, and participation in plant commissioning exercises. It also provides an extensive compendium of forms and checklists that can be used by professionals on a wide variety of installation and commissioning projects.

Handbook of Construction Management for Instrumentation and Controls also offers:

• A thorough introduction to site operations, including the principles of equipment installation and testing
• Comprehensive explorations of quality assurance and quality control procedures from installation to pre-commissioning to site hand-over
• Practical discussions of site administration and operations, including planning and scheduling, site safety, and contractor permits-to-work, change and delay management
• Detailed discussion of the installation and commissioning of complex instrumentation and control equipment

Perfect for specialty contractors and subcontractors, general contractors, consulting engineers, and construction managers, and as a reference book for institutes teaching courses on Industrial Instrumentation, Handbook of Construction Management for Instrumentation and Controls will also benefit students looking for a career in instrument installation.
