Strat-Logika Supports Clients during Startup of Capital Projects

Our Clients often engage Strat-Logika to Support Startup and Commissioning Activities.

Startup success requires a team approach with active planning and participation by all stakeholders. Completion of a well-designed, safe and best-in-class facility delivered on time requires the early development of a commissioning and start-up plan and schedule based on a systems approach and establishment of system turnover dates to support it.

In support of startup planning, each process unit is divided into systems and sub-systems to facilitate their completion, pre-commissioning and commissioning. This approach requires close coordination among the Client, engineering, process licensors (if applicable), suppliers, construction and the start-up team for an orderly turnover, commissioning and start-up while minimizing the impact to ongoing operations.

Strat-Logika develops a detailed Project Commissioning Manual early in the engineering phase that outlines the Client’s and Strat-Logika’s approach and methodology to implementing seamless commissioning and turnover.

Modularization

For more than 40 years, Strat-Logika has been an industry leader in the use of modular construction. Modular execution begins during a project’s conceptual design phase as a coordinated effort that encompasses all EPC project functions. Strat-Logika provides modular construction and construction management services from design, through module assembly and transportation, to erection and final turnover. Following the conceptual design and detailed design phases, Strat-Logika’s modular teams manage and coordinate the various suppliers, subcontractors and assembly yards needed to construct and test the modules. Strat-Logika arranges for loading, transport and unloading of the assembled modules including barge, ship, rail or over-the-road transport.

Rigging Services

Strat-Logika retains highly experienced rigging specialists who assist projects with rigging plans, studies, detailed design of rigging attachments, consultation, technical subcontract selection and management. Rigging plans and analysis for a project usually result in significant savings through efficiencies, construction equipment savings and avoidance of costly problems and accidents.

Welding Certification and Services

All welders performing ASME/NBIC code work are required to be qualified and certified in accordance with the original code of construction and ASME Section IX. Welder qualification test records are available at the site of the welding. The project quality representative assures only qualified welders perform code work. The quality representative also assures all welders performing code work have reviewed the applicable weld procedure specifications (WPSs).

The test WPS used for the qualification of welders is selected based on the anticipated WPSs to be used in production, including welding processes, joint thicknesses and diameters to be welded. To requalify, due to expired Strat-Logika certification(s), testing may be reduced, provided a record of the previous qualification is available.
