A pipeline inspector has a variety of duties including measuring the depth and
alignment of trenches and examining the trenches for stones or debris that may
damage the pipeline. An inspector may also collect data and information on the
surrounding area for possible corrosion factors. A pipeline inspector may do
mechanical particle testing of exposed portions of the pipeline and mapping and
measurement of metal loss on the system.

Inspectors may perform visual inspections while others perform electronic


inspections by using x-ray, ultrasonic, magnetic particle, or electronic crawler
inspection methods. Some inspectors use devices called pigs (pipeline
inspections gauges), which travel through the pipeline and collect and transmit
data using a small computer placed inside of them. Inspectors often must take
photo and written documentation of the system and any repairs or assessments

The 6 Important Guide on What a
Quality Engineer Should do When The
Project is Just Starting Out

If the project is in the stage of preliminary works, a quality


engineer might as well in the stage of preparation, that is the
opportunity for a quality engineer to make himself ready for the
coming battle. So, a quality engineer might want to ask these
questions “What will I do when the project is just starting out?”
or “What are the things that I should do to be prepared?” and so
on.

If you are a newly joined quality engineer in the field, those


question might be your questions as well. That questions could
also be the question of a newly joined civil engineer in the field
because in some countries, correct me if I’m wrong, a civil
engineer will also handle quality engineer jobs.

So, without further ado. Here are the 6 important guide on what a
quality engineer should do when the project is just starting out.
1. Read the Specification

Reading the specification is the important thing that a quality


engineer can do during construction preliminary works. It is easy
to recall or remember the requirements in the specification if you
have read it because you will gonna highlight all important things
along the way while you are reading it and then you can easily
return back.

Read And Use

2. Obtain and log the tests required

While you are reading the specification, you can write down on
your worksheet the tests requirements for the job. You may even
prepare your own excel sheet to log the tests requirements. The
importance of this task is you can determine the quantity of test,
on when the test to be done in an interval phase. Like for
example if you are going to take the test of “Field Density” in
most of the time the frequency of this test is written on the
specification so, you can easily count on how many tests that
you need to require from the approved independent laboratory.

3. Set up the location of the checkpoint and concrete cubes storage

The location of the checkpoint must be properly set up in a


location that is convenient and accessible. It may include in the
logistic plan because truck mixers shall stop in this area for fresh
concrete testing and for taking cube samples. The quality
engineer should prepare the size of the curing tank for the
concrete cubes samples. The quality engineer shall make sure
the size of the curing tank can accommodate the potential cubes
quantity per day casting production. Because concrete cubes
samples are even better to be cured in the site curing tank prior
to transporting to the independent laboratory for re-curing prior
to 7 and 28 days testing.

Construction - Part 1

4. Study the drawings

While the project is at the preliminary stage, you have the


opportunity to study the drawings. Just make sure you review the
drawings to familiarize the outlook of the foundation, the framing
plans, the columns, the elevations etc. Don’t forget to read the
“General Notes” in the structural drawing because some of the
important requirements might be written there. Similar to the
architectural drawings.

5. Prepare method statements and inspection and test plan

Well, this is the best time that you can take advantage, you can
prepare all the necessary method statement for the jobs required
in your project. That is the importance of reading the
specification and drawing because your methodology of the
work, site planning, and any other important things can be based
on it.

Once you complete the method statement then you can go ahead
to prepare an Inspection and Test Plan for the job that you have
made an MS for.

Check Before Site Inspection

It would be better if you can prepare a log of your method


statement and ITP, the advantage of having the log is you can
monitor when you have submitted the MS and ITP and you can
trace the revisions of it. That is really very important.

6. Obtain list of subcontractors

This is the time that you will get all subcontractors in your
project especially, those major subcontractor. You might ask
“where I can get those lists of subcontractors?” Well, the lists
can be obtained from the procurement department which they
are the one who search or we may say “select” a subcontractor,
some subcontractors are in the vendors list which may mean
they are already selected by the Client.

If you could make the 6 preparations, then you are most likely
ready to assault the battle for your project construction.
 Be capable to read & understand P&ID, Isometric & Engineering. Drawing.
 Be capable to identify the using hand tools, drilling machines, pipe benders etc. &

installation.
 Must be familiar with ASME code, piping class, specification, deferent. type of
material.
 Must be familiar with tools & welding machine ,welding consumable requirements for
fabrication.
 Ability to identify & capable to prepare of BOM(Bill of material),Isometric drawing,
 Able to verify IFC (issue for construction) drawing from site condition & recommend
requirement of changes if any.
 Able to prepare Inch-dia from isometric.
 Must be familiar with Hydro test procedure & Detail requirements of tools tackle etc.
 Must be familiar with various type of gasket etc.
 Basic knowledge of welding work.
 Basic knowledge of insulation & Painting Work.
 Must be familiar with good engineering practice with QAQC program & HSE
requirement.
