Second innings at Baroda contd....
Here I would like to highlight six important instances during implementation of cracker/BBH instrumentation:
1. EIL missing out to include LPG bullet and vaporiser instrumentation scope under Alkan
2. EIL missing out the provision of tapping for in-line flow meters(Pitot tube nozzles) Anubar in underground CW lines
3, Installation of all 112 Thermowells in BBH by a single fitter during lunch break in one day
4.Cable pulling management by Hassan & how single handedly completed the core termination in all panels; exhibiting confidence about his workmanship to convince GMP to energise and charge each one of them.
5.Sh Aurora making Alkan poor by his own interpretation of contract for cables/ muliti tubes/ copper tubing scraps
6. With extreme confidence how M/S Lummus and IPCL had faith on me during first commissioing of Cryogenics taken in
If one attempts to analyse and narrate, each item by itself will become a story!But I will attempt to project them very briefly.
1.EIL missing out LPG bullet instrumentation
As the overall contract for Alkan was only Rs 6 lakhs in those days, operating the missed out items under unit rate or man hour base was not economical to any contractor. Though I was conscious that it is Alkan only who has to undertake that&execute,I was taking the stand that since it was not included in main contract,we cannot undertake to execute that.Ultimate client Mr YR Trivedi of IPCL was jumping and blamed EIL for missing out as well as mismanagement.
When my director Syamsundar visited site,JR took up that matter with him in my presence. When SS looked at me,I frankly explained the situation.Immediately JR understood the catch; promised me that EIL will not punish Alkan for their mistake&will compensate suitably.He called Mr Rawat and issued special instructions and cautioned that Aurora should not poke in this matter. With that promise,Alkan took up the task including field engineering and executed the job in flat 28 days.
2.EIL Missing out tapping for flow nozzles in underground CW lines
In GOP there were two flow transmitters to measure the CW flow through underground mains. As instrument contractor Alkan executed the stanchion mounting, fixing the Xr and gave a punch list for the missing nozzles to mount Anubar elements in Under ground lines. This was a fundamental error in piping engg. interface! M/S ECC(L&T) as piping contractor completed their scope as per IFC dwg. and the lines were charged with CW. Mr Sathyanandam,construction supdt, was in a fix and started following it up with me at 3PM on that day. I, as instrument contractor, flatly refused to take the call of provisioning 2 X 6" nozzle in a charged header that too underground. He ran to JR and asked him to get involved. Typical of JR, he called me & Baig and pleaded us to undertake this challenging task at our terms. Baig lined up an ace welder Md Ilyas at 7.30PM. Contd........
