AIl40 years of my working life, I spent on erection of different process plants most of which were ol industry projects
in the country and abroad, in Europe and North Africa. Since 1978 with occasional interruptions because of
simultaneous involvement in several different projects, I worked mostly on technical calculations. I have made
hundreds and hundreds calculations based on all kinds of tenders and erection of mechanical equipment, The
tenders were written in various foreign languages and alphabet, even in Cyrillic. I am fully avare of the problems an
estimator encounters when working on technical calculations for specific technologies. Very often tenders were not
complete and not detailed enough, and the time required for a good technical calculation is getting every day
shorter. It is not easy to present exact technical figures and quantities for the equipment or operations not fully
defined, hard to comprehend, or even unknown to the estimator. Technical terms and expressions written in
different languages and dialects are often incorrect and specific for individual branches. Enormous experience is
needed, an ability to assess and estimate, and even the courage to write down the technical quantities and figures.
That was the reason for collecting various technical bibliography, standards, catalogues, man hours and rates from
the European and USA countries, I have made the analyses, comparisons, simulations, new measures, and manhour
tables. A great deal of that was verified in practice during the plant erection. I surveyed the results and analyses of
as-built designs. On many occasions, T sought a compromise between different opinions and standpoints. Too many
things collected on too many places. Finally, I decided to write this manual for discriminative estimators. It is
important to understand that there are no identical projects or jobs in this business, that each project is specific and
that no automatism or copying is possible. Approach to any job should be serious and professional and a technical
calculation should be made with the assistance of this Manual. Many people try to include the man hours from the
tables into the computer systems, which I oppose. Those are the people, which instead of using a computer, a
computer uses them. An estimator himself must choose the values and define the man hours taking into account all
the elements that might have any influence on them, Only when the relevant man hours are estimated and selected,
‘@ computer can be used. A saying "Switch on your brain before switching on the computer” should be followed.
The most complex work in developing these man hours was the work on the man hours for piping above ground. A
basis I used was a system for estimating the value of erection works of a German Company LINDE, which I
completed and modified. Generally, for elaboration of the man hours for erection/installation of process equipment,
used the English man hours of the Oil and Chemical Plant Constructors Association, but I used other sources as
well.
The source or the author was noted for other tables and if I modified them, I provided the modification basis. Where
there are no such notes, Iam the only author
A complete edition of this manual in the Croatian language and its sections were published in 1997 and
2000. Thisis why I have not given a unified percentage of the production efficiency but each chapter has its own,

10INTRODUCTION
With proper and conscientious application of these data for making estimates, the estimator will calculate
hourly time requirements i.e. the man hours required for the erection.
The man hours (Mhr) do not refer to any condition or PRODUCTIVITY EFFICIENCY PERCENTAGES (PEP,
Leistungsféhigkeit - Prozentsatz), but to precisely determined below stated PEPs.
‘The standard ranges of productivity efficiency percentages are!
1. Verylow 10240%
2. Low 41+60%
3. Average 61+80%
4.Verygood 81.90%
5. Excellent 91+100%
6. Extraordinary 101+120%
Man hours in this Manual refer to the following Productivity Efficiency Percentages:
1, PIPING ABOVE GROUND IN PLANTS
1.1Calculation based on the estimate points of basic erection items and man hours and effects
derived thereby
PEP
igh average 80%
1.2Calculation based on man hours and ef fects for quick calculation and special man hours
PEP =
igh average 75%
1.3Calculation based on man hou rs for piping per inch - diameter (ID)
PEP = high average 80%
1.4Calculation based on man hours f or units of operation
PEP = very good 85%
2.PIPELINES
PEP = high average 75 %
3,STEEL STRUCTURES
PEP average 75%
4.PROCESS EQUIPMENT IN PLANTS
PEP = average 70%
S5,CYLINDRICAL ST ORAGE TANKS
PEP = very good 85%
6.WELDING AND CUT TING
PEP = average 70%
7. CORROSION PROTECTION
PEP = high average 80%
8, THERMAL INSULATION
PEP = very good 85 %
uwFor each project, before the labour value is calculated, the Productivity Efficiency Percentage should
be determined. This is done by the project manager with the assistance of his collaborators.
John S, Page (USA) stated six production elements that have an impact on PEP determination,
They are:
1. Project Management and Supervision
2, Labour Conditions:
3. Job Conditions
4, Machinery and Equipment
5, Weather Conditions
6, General Economy (for J. S. P. thisisa leading element, which I shall not consider)
. Project Management and Supervision
Has the company already executed such projects? How often? What is the calibre of your
supervision? Are skilled and experienced staff available? What can you afford to pay them? Will they
be satisfied with the accommodation? Will they be satisfied with the salaries? Will you have enough
money at the site (down payments)?
After evaluating these questions, estimate the percentage according to the PEP table.
2, Labour Conditions
Does the company have a good labour relations man? Has the company sufficient number of skilled
and trained labour? What are the foremen like? Will they be satisfied with their salaries? Will they be
satisfied with accommodation, food, transport? How often will they be able to visit their families?
Estimate the percentage according to the PEP table.
3, Job Conditions
‘What is the scope of the work and just what is involved in the job? What is the schedule? Is it tight, or
do you have ample time to complete the work? What is the condition of the site? Is it low and muddy,
and hard to drain, or is it high and dry? Does it involve a plant already in operation? Wil there be tie-ins
to the existing systems? What will the relationship be between the production personnel and office
personnel? Will most of the operations be manual or mechanized? What kind of material procurement
will you have?
Estimate the percentage according to the PEP table.
4, Machinery and Equipment
Do you have ample equipment to finish your job? What kind of shape is it in, and will you have good
maintenance and repair help? The qualifications and experience of crane and other operators? The
plant-hire company for the machinery? Past experience?
Estimate the percentage according to the PEP table.
5, Weather Conditions
What were past weather conditions for the area? If necessary, can they be
checked? What future weather forecasts? Will there be much rain or snow? What
differences are expected in the weather with regard to Central Europe - Zagreb?
Estimate the percentage according to PEP table, When we have considered and analysed all the
percentages, we have to divide the total sum by five to arrive at an average percentage of productivity
that is the Productivity Efficiency Percentage (PEP).
Dividing the PEP declared by the average PEP we obtain a factor. This factor is
multiplied by the calculated man hours (MHr) and will give actually needed man,
hours (MHr). The number of hours can be either increased or decreased.

8. SPECIAL POINTS 10.2 _ FINISHING WORKS
‘To make an estimate for laying a pipeline is a very “sensitive” operation, particularly for estimators,
lacking experience in the laying and installation of such pipelines. World recognized companies specializing
in this kind of work have empirical rates based on diameter and length, and on “inch-meter” respectively. A
widely recognized manual for that purpose is John S. Page's Cost Estimating Manual for Pipelines and
Marine Structures,
‘The impact of climate, ground and the state is quantified empirically, Since our company does not
specialize only in pipelines, we developed rates and elements for calculation of the time needed. However,
these rates cannot substitute an estimator, They can assist estimators in making their estimates. In
principle, call for tenders do not provide all the elements needed to determine precisely the time needed for
erection/installation/laying, Therefore, there are many variables to be taken into account and evaluated by
the estimator in order to foresee in detail the conditions under which the works may be executed. The
estimator has to make an accurate estimate of the rates, and when and which rates to apply. Similarly, he
can change them depending on the case.
1, PIPETRANSPORT
Basicrate for pipe transport is, [Mhr/ton)
‘The basicrate changes with the conditions by adding or deducting the following rat

833, ERECTION OF SPHERICAL AND SPHEROIDAL STORAGE TANKS
For this kind of works I neither had available nor was familiar with any bibliography that would
provide me with practical parameters and man hours for a technical calculation, Only John S. Page (USA)
provided some tables for spheroidal storage tanks to 800.000 gallons (3.028 m’) and spherical storage
tanks to 200.000 gallons (757 m’). I found his manhour calculation too stringent. They allow for too few
hours for erection.
During my practice I had to make the calculations for such storage tanks many times. I did itn the
following way:
1. Unloading & storing material f= fim [Mhr/ton]
2. Shell welding
Calculate the weld runs and determine the hours according to the tables under the Chapter VI/4
Welding of Spherical Storage Tanks
3. Assembling prefabricated plates and supports of tank.
Shell welding manhours x
4, Placing and welding the connections and equipment
Use man hours for cylindrical storage tanks and other respective items
5. Hydrostatic Testing

Productivity Efficiency Percentage (PEP) =85%
Generally, specialized companies make calculations for insulation, This rule also applies if
insulation accounts for a large portion of a project. When the scope of insulation is not so great or the
bidding time is very tight, an estimator for the mechanical works should also provide the calculation
‘elements for the insulation. That is why I worked out the manhour rates for insulation based on the
manhour rates of several specialized German insulation contractors.

108IX. ESTIMATES
1. ESTIMATE OF SCAFFOLDS
Quick estimates of scaffolding and the scaffolds are very difficult to make and not reliable
Estimators usually do not have the drawings, the dimensions and what is most important they do not have
enough time to perform a proper calculation. Therefore, they have to make quick estimates of the
quantities starting first with a decision on who is going to undertake the scaffolding. Will they subcontract
this job to a specialist firm or do the scaffolding themselves?
It is also necessary to see who will use the scaffolds. Will they be used for erection only, or for
painting and insulation works as well?
If there are several users, the rental period is longer butin that case the expenses can be shared.
1, ESTIMATES OF SCAFFOLDING WHEN CONTRACTED TO A SPECIALIST FIRM
‘The most usual categorization and the rates of the scaffolding specialist firms are:
a) Scaffold Erection
standing scaffolds [m’] cantilever scaffolds [m’]
-hanging scaffolds [m’] - platform floors [m']
b) Scaffold Dismantling
+ same categorization as for erection
©) Rental
~ same categorization per week and month
‘The price of erection and dismantling of scaffolding varies by its height every [lll + lll m.
When estimating the scaffolding quantity, the quantity for erection in [m"] and an average erection height
are determined.

1091.4 EQUIPMENT IN PETROCHEMICAL PLANTS
When estimating the scaffolding for equipment erection one should know who is going to use the
scaffolding, For instance, no scaffolding is required for erection of towers, but itis required for erection of
connection piping, electrical installations, insulation or painting. The best way is to calculate all the
equipment individually for each unit, Similarly, one should also determine the type of scaffolding, its
height, and the rental time.
When the scaffolding is used for the equipment erection only, it could be calculated in the following way:
= Quantity [m’/ton] equipment weight
-Type: standing %
platform floors %
-Height: m
-Rental: month
2. _ ESTIMATE OF SCAFFOLDING WHEN DONE BY AN ERECTION COMPANY
This kind of scaffolding erection is used less and less. If used, the scope of scaffolding should be
estimated in the same way as for the first case.
2.1 PIPINGINPLANTS: {m/ton] piping quantity
2.2. PIPINGONPIPERACKS: Option Pipe rack surface area = [m'] scaffold
Option 1 [ton] piping quantity
23 ‘STEEL STRUCTURES: + [m’/ton] structure quantity
24 EQUIPMENT IN PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRY: + [m‘/ton] equipment quantity
({f used for the equipment erection only)
When the scaffolding quantity is calculated in [m’] or [ri], which is more or less the sam e we
should estimate the material needed for tubular or patent scaffolding,
2.5 TUBULAR SCAFFOLDING
There are sets of tubular scaffolding with a lst of material needed such as tubes and clamps for
500 m’ (Iron Works. Sisak). If itis expected that the scaffolding will be erected and dismantled several
times during the works execution, the following calculations should be considered
2.5.1. Tubularscaffold material

2.6 SCAFFOLDING LABOUR
Determine the number of scaffolding hours by calailating:

(See "Equipment Scaffolding", page 72-73)
After that, determine the labour needed for scaffolding and the means of transport.

The most difficult job for installation ofthis t ype of piping isto estimate welding rod consumption
with regard to the piping weight.
Since this estimate is not used for the welding rod procurement butf or calculation of price
only, higher departures than the actual needs are allowed.

ESTIMATE OF ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION

must fulfil that request. If he finds that the contractor will use its own power sources from generators and
generating sets, then he will estimate only the part of electricity consumption from the power grid. The total
ower requirements should be calculated on the basis ofan estimate of the welding rods needed

It is not either possible or necessary to make detailed lists of small tools to be used at the job ste.
In practice, only 50% of tools is purchased for a specific job and c. 50% of tools is used from the previous
job sites. It can also be taken into account that c. 60 = 70 % of tools will be left in good condition and reused
(er sold).
For that reason, the cost of tools should be calculated in the following way:

My opinion is that this formula should be used to calculate the erection time only for the works up to

following way:

‘9, SELECTION OF HOISTING MACHINERY (CRANES, FORK LIFTS, ETC.)
When determining manhour rates, the costs of hoisting equipment have a significant impact. It is
therefore very important to make a careful and realistic estimate of the type of crane, number of cranes and
the time of use of the crane, forklift and the like. It is not a problem to determine the type of individual
hoisting machine, the time and the power required for hoisting a given piece of equipment but this job is,
much more difficult when it has to be done for the entire project. During all the years of my service, I never
found any trace of that issue. Talking to colleagues of mine I heard different opinions and methods for
making estimates. Some make estimates based on weight and they consider that a crane should lift between.
150 and 300 kg/hour. Others take into account the number of labourers and say that one crane should be
sufficient for serving 6 to 20 labourers. There are no tables for any of these methods, I thought something
should be done about it so I tried to describe the way I did it in my calculations and estimates hoping that
younger colleagues would elaborate this better in future,
‘When selecting the cranes care should be taken of the crane type because of very different rental
costs. As for the operating costs, the cranes can be grouped from the cheapest to the most expensive.

118‘The most suitable trucks for up to 2-ton cargo are those with a hydraulic jack. Forklifts are very
suitable for the cargoes from 2 to 8 tons.
‘To make an optimum selection of the cranes, it is important to fully familiarize with the project for
which a calculation is made, The estimator should devise a concept of the erection method and possible
erection technique as well as probable work organization, Before selecting the cranes, an average number
of production labourers should be determined.
9.1 SELECTION OF THE LARGEST CRANE
‘Any erection project should be firstly identified the heaviest equipment and cargoes, Thereupon,
the crane type and capacity are selected (or a combination of two cranes) thus identifying the largest and
the most expensive crane. Care should be taken of the place of erection, elevation, possible access to the
crane, access roads, rental possibiltes, lifting technology, working time, etc.
The time for using the largest crane should be estimated by iting the heaviest pieces of equipment
{above i tons if possible). In this case the next largest crane that will stay longer at the job site could be of
smaller capacity (c. ill+ fil tons) and as a result thereof its monthly rental fee would be lower as well
9.2 PIPINGINPLANTS
9.2.1. PREFABRICATION
‘The use of a crane is not important during the piping prefabrication, The use of one forklift of
tons could be considered. From time to time, a smaller crane of to tons and HTAB truck could be used of
which for prefabrication and "for erection.
‘Twenty five labourers should be allocated to one piece of lting equipment.
9.2.2 ERECTION
{At piping erection, the larger the piping diameter the greater need for a crane. The cranes of larger
capacity are required for larger outreach and height otherwise relatively smaller cranes could satisfy the
requirements.
‘Twenty labourers per crane.
‘One truck with HIAB for lil: illlabourers but only its
Crane capacity to be determined as follows:
% to t
% to t
% to t
9.2.3. PREFABRICATION AND ERECTION
For technical calculations, both prefabrication and erection are considered together. This type of
calculation applies when there are not enough data or time to make a calculation, which is the most often
case.
‘The means for hoisting should be determined in the following way:
+ forktift3 + 5t labourers per forklift
- truck with "HIAB" labourers per truck
- mobile crane labourers per crane of which
% -tolmit capacity
% -tommit "
% -tommt ”
1199.3. PIPING BETWEEN PLANTS
Lower capacity cranes will mostly satisfy the requirements for erection of this kind of piping. The
‘scope of prefabrication is smaller, and therefore the calculation should be made as follows:
truck with "HIAB" labourers per truck
~carcrane labourers per crane of which
%-toll—it capacity
%- tol t capacity
9.4 PIPELINES
At pipeline laying special cranes are used for unloading, loading, pipe stringing and performance of
special points. Generally, car crane renting should be avoided whenever a continuous work is not possible.
‘This refers particularly to the works on right-of-ways where the pipe layers and trucks with HIAB are used,
Consequently, estimator can rely on crane for some activities only, which should be elaborated separately.
AAll manuals for calculations of pipeline erection provide for special elaboration of each activity from pipe
transportto pressure testing.
9.5 ERECTION OF STEEL STRUCTURES
Erection of steel structures is not actually possible without cranes. The costs of machinery account
for the largest portion of the man-hour rate. The use of truss boom cranes and particularly tower building
cranes is possible. The truss boom cranes are suitable because of lower rental costs and the tower building
cranes for their very high efficiency and outreach.
‘The cranes should be calculated as follows:
heavy steel structure + labourers per crane
=medium-weight steel structure + labourers per crane
-lightsteel structure + labourers per crane
9.6 INSTALLATION OF PROCESS EQUIPMENT
At installation of process equipment firstly we should identify the largest crane (item 9.1.) and then
decrease the total number of hours and the average number of labourers for the foreseen heavy equipment
respectively.
‘The cranes for other equipment to be calculatedas follows:
crane on: labourers of which:

%- for iter anes
9.7 ERECTION OF CYLINDRICAL STORAGE TANKS
‘Special attention should be paid to the selection of a crane for erection of cylindrical storage tanks.
This type of crane cannot be selected according to the number of labourers but according to the type,
diameter, height, arrangement, and the number of storage tanks, etc.
‘A mobile crane with a truss boom of maximum|-ton capacity is the most adequate when we install
cone storage tank. If there is @ group or a series of storage tanks, we should consider using tower cranes of
sufficient reach and on tracks, if possible and necessary.
If there are several storage tanks, we shall need another smaller crane for loading and unloading the
plates and getting them closer. Generally, an adequate erection conceptis required and each activity should
be supported with an adequate crane.
On average, jl = illlabourers should be allocated per one crane.
When erecting spherical storage tanks (balls) the same measures for crane selection apply.
12010, UNLOADING, HANDLING AND SORTING OF THE MATERIAL
Almost all manhour rates include the erection activities from withdrawal of the material and
‘equipment from the investor's store to the completion according to detail design. We shall often come
across a request in tendering documents to offer unloading, handling and sorting of the material. (The

12312, ESTIMATE OF THE NUMBER OF WELDS AND RADIOGRAMS FOR PIPING
Data on the number of welds are not often given in the call for tenders. Of course, this cannot be
calculated without complete detail documentation. To make a technical calculation an estimator needs the
data on the number of welds. If he wants to estimate the quantity of radiograms, he should know only the
quantity of butt welds and if he wants to calculate precisely the quantity of welding rads and electric power,
he should know the quantity of all types of welds. The estimate of the quantity of other types of welds such
‘as nozzle welds and socket welds, the estimator can base on the butt welds quantity.
‘The quantity of butt welds can be estimated in several ways:
1. ESTIMATE OF BUTT WELDS BASED ON A LIST OF MATERIAL
- PIPES, FITTINGS AND FLANGES
1.1. Piping in plants
= Pipe weld/24 m
- Bends weld/piece
Tees weld/piece
- Pipe caps weld/piece

- Weldolets weld/piece
- Neck flanges weld/piece

- pipes 12"-14" 1 weld/ [1m
~ pipes above 16" 1 weld/ =m
- fittings and flanges: as for the piping in a plant (item 1.1.)
1.3. Combined piping (in plants and between the plants)
Ifthere are no separate lists of materials for piping in the plant and for the piping between the plants,
but we know there are both of them, the quantity of butt welds should be calculated as follows:
Pipes: calculate 1 weld to the lengths that are twice the length ofthe piping between the plants (item 1.2)
If the estimator can estimate proportional relations of two kinds of piping then he can make the
calculation with other piping lengths as well
- Fittings and flanges: As for the piping in plants (item 1.1)
2. ESTIMATE OF BUTT WELDS BASED ON ALIST OF MATERIAL
FITTINGS AND FLANGES ONLY
Bends weld/piece
= Tees weld/piece
- Pipe caps weld/piece
+ Reducers weld/piece
= Weldolets. weld/piece
- Neck flanges weld/piece
‘The pipe-to-pipe welds are not considered because it is deemed that the quantity of such welds
is deemed to be similar to the number of fitting-to-fitting welds,
This is the most widely used method for estimating the butt welds. I know from experience that this
method s nota reliable one. If applied, it should be calculated in the folowing way:
= Piping in the plant: decrease the weld number by c%
= Combined piping (in plants and between the plants); increase by ci%

power consumption costs (item 4, page 115).
‘Once the quantity of butt welds is calculated by any of previously described methods, the quantity of
other welds can be calculated as well. This is done in such a way that the quantity of butt welds is increased
by the following percentage:
- Piping in plants: +
- Piping between plants (piperacks and sleeper ways):
= Combined piping: +
~Town networks: +

5. ESTIMATE OF RADIOGRAMS ON THE PIPING
‘The number of radiograms depends on the media, working pressure, working temperature,
materials and special safety regulations. Generally, the estimator i.e. the process engineer determines
the percentage of radiographic tests and include them in the piping line lst. The percentages are
different and can vary from 5% to almost 200%. (200% is in special cases when highly alloyed
materials are used and the radiography is required before and after thermal treatment of the weld).
125‘The following table is mostly used to determine the percentage of radiographic inspection,

If we know the quantity of butt welds according to their diameter, material and class, then it will
not be difficult to determine the number of welds to be tested. In most cases, however this information
is not available and cannot be determined within the scheduled time, Because of that the estimator will
monitor and develop statistics of the projects executed, he will ask for professional opinions of more
experienced colleagues, and decide for an average percentage of radiography. When the estimator
determines the percentage, he will calculate the number of radiograms according to the table below.

ESTIMATE POINTS OF BASIC ERECTION ITEMS.
The estimate points of basic erection items are used for payment and monitoring of the works
progress during erection of piping above ground, One estimate point equals one man hour (Mhr) at
Productivity Efficiency Percentage (PEP) of 90% for unit quantity and for carbon steel.
‘The tables contain the values of erection items for dimension used most frequently in erection
of piping. Any intermediate value can be calculated for the needs of an estimate or derived by
interpolation.
Under the section EXPLANATION TO THE ERECTION ITEMS, the estimate points and the
related activities are given for items 1.1 to 7.5
‘The same section (items 8.1 = 8.8) provides the method for calculating the activities derived
from basic items.
The influence of different materia is calculated by the material multiplier factors (factors for
different kind of materials) (F) for items 2.2 to 3.8, By way of an exception, the factors (k) on the page 142 are
used for items 1.1 to 1.3.
‘The section FORMS FOR CALCULATION OF MAN-HOUR RATES contains the erection items on
which basis the time required for installation of each piping element's calculated. These forms have been used to
calculate all man hour rates in the section,
