a) RLA study involves hot & cold walk down visual inspections of Critical Piping systems including their hangers & supports, Metallography analysis, Advanced Ultrasonic testing (like PAUT / TOFD etc.) OD & thickness measurement, hardness testing, DPT, MPT etc. for weld joints, bends & tees, straight pipe etc.

b) Stress Analysis and design check for hanger and supports & recommendation for replacement.

c) Remaining life calculation Using FEM (Finite Element Method) analysis for the piping systems.

d) Based on the completion of the Residual life assessment (RLA) / Condition Assessment (CA) for various piping systems of the plant, the contractor shall submit a comprehensive report to the owner. The report will consist of all results, recommendations and improvement proposals.

e) Recommendation regarding replacement of various piping components, wherever considered essential, this recommendation shall be in three parts

a. Components requiring immediate replacement

b. Component which will need replacement after Three ( 3 ) years

c. Component which will need replacement after Six (6) years.

f) Suggest measures for improvement of plant performance and up-gradation needed considering operation at full load and extension of life by 20 years after R&M based on recommendations. These proposals shall be subdivided into :

a. Root cause analysis.

b. Immediate measures.

c. Measures to be taken in future.

d. Improvement / change in O&M practices.

g) Supply, installation & dismantling of scaffoldings for completion of RLA activities is in the scope of Bidder.

h) Complete removal of insulation from the piping system (as per scope) is included in bidder’s scope.

i) Supply of new Insulation material and new aluminum cladding and its associated accessories and installation of same is in the scope of bidder

j) Disposal of removed insulation is in the scope of bidder.

Approximately 20-25 days’ time has been planned for shutdown for each unit during which time RLA & CA of critical piping system mentioned above is to be completed.
