Viru shastra buddi has once said , "Life is a race … If you don’t run fast… you will be like a broken andaa…" and so often in professional world also , the race is always there to climb success steps at every cost, be it ethic values or be it by using authority power against your colleagues or juniors and ultimately making team moral and efficiency down and due to such incompetent "so called leaders" or people , often organization have (practically in true sense) lower "Happiness Index" of the people working in such environment. But when there is collaborative, supportive, appreciative work culture where "W" and "T" (of SWOT) are always pushed to convert to "S" and "O" (of SWOT) , undoubtedly it will lead to consistent and very high "Happyness Index" of people working in such environment. #Happiness #Moral #Ethics #Rewarding #Appreciation #Team #Leader #Collaboration #Supportive #Engineering #Planning #EPC #Construction #Procurement #CostControl #ProjectControl #WorkCulture #Estimation #CostEstimation #Toxicity #Strength #Weakness #Opportunity #Threat #Primavera #Schedule

Very insightful line for consideration by all those who are responsible / associated for "Managing" the people. Efficiency and Effectiveness are built up over the time and also with dedicated efforts and positive attitude. Just because very few people in your professional setup , are performing all his/her duties/ roles / responsibilities on time (sometimes before the deadlines) and majority others are not ,should not give you doubt about ( " those few excellent people") their working methodology or should not stop you from rewarding/appraising all those people. #efficiency #effectiveness #engineering #epc #Projectmanagement #ResourceManagement #PositiveCulture #Reward #Appreciation #Timemanangement #Managers #Leaders #Construction #Procurement #workculture #Director #seniormanager #projectcontrol #costcontrol #planning #scheduling #motivation #attitdue #positiveapproach

Delays in Project Execution Engineers working in projects often share that they are under tremendous pressure from Management or Client due to the delays in execution. It is true for PC folks as well. I will touch upon two areas. 1)       Statutory and Regulatory Approvals during Pre-Project : Some organisations do not consider the project as initiated unless all the required approvals and permissions are obtained. The Project execution resources are accordingly planned and mobilized only when the green signal to proceed is granted. Until then only the relevant internal teams will be working. However, many organisations try to utilize the approval time for preparing specifications, tendering and contracting activities. The time required for approvals is assumed considering the current status or direction from the top. This is a risk and should be handled under risk management. The Problem starts when the contracts are awarded and still some of the critical permissions/approvals are pending. It is then the delays are observed, highlighted, reviewed and attributed. The complete project team gets impacted. A few projects might never take off if the approvals are put on hold. 2)       Foreign Vendors : Many EPC projects require major equipment to be purchased from foreign vendors (mostly European and US). These equipment generally drive the critical path of the project and any deviation from the schedule baseline can jeopardize the project. Here as well, the schedule is prepared based on the project’s need and concurrence from the vendors during the bidding stage. However, some vendors don’t follow the timeline, neglect to provide progress updates, avoid sharing information and often function based on their own priorities. The Project team becomes helpless in such situations to deal with the vendors and expedite the deliveries. In the above two scenarios, is ‘delay’ the issue? Who is responsible? What can be done to improve? Meanwhile, engineers need to continue their work of planning, execution, monitoring, highlighting the concerns, doing their best and leave the rest to the higher ups. Please share your thoughts...... #projectmanagement #projectcontrols

The TR Engineering Consultancy LLC (a tecnicas reunidas group of companies) Reunidas (MERAM) project, officially known as the Maximizing Ethane Recovery and Monetization (MERAM) project, is a significant initiative undertaken by ADNOC Gas in collaboration with Tecnicas Reunidas and the National Petroleum Construction Company (NMDC Group ). This project is part of a broader strategy by ADNOC Group to expand and enhance its gas processing infrastructure within the UAE, particularly at its existing onshore installations in the southwestern Abu Dhabi Emirate, specifically the Habshan complex Project Scope and Objectives: The MERAM project aims to increase ethane extraction capability at the Habshan site by 35-40% from current levels. This enhancement is achieved through the construction of new gas processing units. Additionally, the project aims to unlock further value from existing feedstock, which will be delivered to the Ruwais Industrial Complex via a dedicated 120-km natural gas liquids (NGL) pipeline Contract and Execution: On August 9, 2023, ADNOC Gas awarded a $3.6 billion contract to a joint venture between Tecnicas Reunidas and NMDC Dredging & Marine . This contract covers engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning (EPCC) services for the new gas processing installations at the multi-train gas processing complex at Habshan, Al Gharbia.  Economic Impact and ICV Program: More than 70% of the contract award’s value will flow back into the UAE’s economy under ADNOC Group's In-Country Value (ICV) program. This program is designed to support local economic growth and diversification, aligning with the UAE's broader economic strategies.  Strategic Importance: The MERAM project is a critical component of ADNOC’s integrated gas masterplan, which aims to link every part of the UAE’s gas-value chain. This plan not only ensures sustainable and economic gas supplies to meet both domestic and international demand but also incorporates new approaches and technologies to boost gas recovery from existing fields and develop untapped resources.  Timeline: The project reached its final investment decision during the first quarter of 2023 and is scheduled for commissioning during the third quarter of 2025

What if I told you (a CEO, President, Director, Engineering Consultant, Asset or Program Manager, Operations Manager, Technician, Investor, you name it) that you can make informed predictions about how, where, and when your equipment may need a visual inspection? Or, how much funds you may want to allocate for your new equipment's planned future maintenance? Or, where the source of excessive vibrations for your machinery are coming from and what to do to rectify the issue? Or, how your steel connection failed, and why? Or how long your product may be expected to last under any idealized types of conditions? Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a extremely useful tool that provides more than just a way for Engineers to assess the performance of a structure, or product; it provides insight to stakeholders so that they can make business decisions on whether to proceed with a specific idea, or design, that is cost-effective, robust, and manageable. FEA reveals where a structure's critical areas are located so that, for example, predictive maintenance plans can be created by knowing WHAT to look for and WHERE to look for those critical regions that can be detrimental and cause downtimes on capital equipment - Nobody wants to lose on their investments! Computational Engineering Analysis is a tool - just like a pencil, a hammer, a notepad, a backhoe, a desk, a CNC machine, or an iphone, are all tools that we use. So is the finite element method. How accurate are FEA results and how do you know that their accurate enough to be reliable? Well, if you can validate your results by hand AND by testing then you have a strong correlation between the results while reducing the amount of testing, testing tools, and equipment needed. Have a complex model? Complex geometry? Or Complex interactions between different components? Then break down this complexity into smaller manageable parts; "Sub-structures." Here's a thought - you can speed up your analysis and, at times, make it easier to perform hand calculations by using combined element meshing. FEA analysis, I believe, is by far one of the most underrated tools by professionals. FEA can provide very accurate results if used in the hands of the skillful. #FiniteElementAnalysis #StructuralAnalysis #StructuralDynamics #AssetManagement #PredictiveMaintenance #StressAnalysis #PipeStressAnalysis #Fatigue #AppliedMechanics #FailureAnalysis #ForensicsEngineering #StructuralSteel #ComputationalMechanics #MechanicalVibrations
