Description

Industrial Piping and Equipment Estimating Manual, Second Edition delivers a comprehensive overview of information that engineers, estimators, and managers need to develop estimates and create bids. Packed with worksheets covering combined and simple cycle power plants, refineries, compressor stations, ethanol, hydrogen and biomass plants, this reference helps construction engineers and estimators create bids where scope and quantity differences can be identified and project impacts estimated. This updated manual provides a comprehensive, accurate method for compiling piping and equipment man-hour estimates for industrial process plants—including Solar, Geothermal and Biomass Energy

This comprehensive, current manual details scopes of work based on process and increased safety in field erection. Estimating methods and statistical applications reduce errors for estimators to produce accurate estimates, making it an ideal go-to reference for estimators, engineers and managers with a level of detail and equipment breakdown necessary for today’s complex industrial operations.

Key features

  • Explains estimating methods, scopes of work, man-hour data tables, and estimate sheets to produce direct craft man-hour estimates, RFPs, and field change orders
  • Includes scopes of work and man-hour data tables for any complexity of design, bid, and contract
  • Identifies quantity differences using the comparison method to eliminate impacts between proposed and previously installed equipment
  • Represents a broad mix of energy sources, including: Combined and Simple Cycle Power Plants, Refineries, Hydrogen Plants, Biomass, Ethanol, and Geothermal Power Plants, Compressor Stations, and Wastewater Treatment Plants
