ENGINEERING AT LANL

• LANL ENGNEERING ACTIVITIES
• DESIGNS FOR CONSTRUCTION, OPERATIONS AND
  MAINTENANCE
• MAIN TYPES
• FACILITIES
• PROGRAMMATIC
• ENVIRONMENTAL
• NUCLEAR
• NON-NUCLEAR
• HOW IT GETS DONE
• LANL DIRECT ENGINEERING STAFF
• CONTRACT ENGINEERING SUPPORT (TASK ORDERS)
• ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING COMPANIES

HOW IS ENGINEERING ACCOMPLISHED AT LANL?

• LANL ENGINEERING IS EXECUTED BASED ON SPECIFIC
  REGULAORY REQUIREMENTS, PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES
  
• DOE REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
• INDUSTRY CONSENSUS STANDARDS, CODES AND
  REGULATIONS (IBC,NEC,NFPA)
• STATE OF NEW MEXICO CODES AND REGULATIONS
• LANL CONDUCT OF ENGINEERING PROCESSES AND
  PROCEDURES
• LANL ENGINEERING STANDARDS MANUAL
• LANL DESIGN DRAFTING MANUAL
• LANL STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS

LANL ENGINEERING STANDARDS-ESM

• ENGINEERING STANDARDS MANUAL (ESM)

PROVIDES LANL SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS AND
GUIDELINES FOR ALL ENGINEERING DISCIPLINES
ARCHITECUTURAL CIVIL STRUCTURAL MECHANICAL ELECTRI
CAL INSTRUMENTATION AND AUTOMATION ENVIRONMENTAL
WELDING SUSTAINABILITY FIRE PROTECTION NUCLEAR HAZ
ARDOUS PROCESSES COMMISSIONING
IDENTIFIES SPECIFIC INDUSTRY CONSENSUS STANDARDS
WHICH APPLY TO THE DISCIPLINES

LANL ENGINEERING STANDARDS-EDM

• ENGINEERING DRAFTING MANUAL (EDM)
• PROVIDES LANL SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS AND
  GUIDELINES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION OF
  ENGINEERNG DRAWINGS
• DRAWING SIZES
• TYPICAL CONTENT
• FORMATS
• LAYOUTS
• LINE WEIGHTS
• FONT SIZE AND TYPES
• LAYERING CONVENTIONS
• STANDARD DISCIPLINE SYMBOLS
• REVIEW AND CHECKING PROCEDURES
• USE OF THE EDM PROVIDES CONSISTENCY IN THE
  ENGINEERING DRAWING PACKAGES AND MINIMIZES REWORK

Slide 7

LANL ENGINEERING STANDARDS- SPECS.

• ENGINEERING STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
• PROVIDES LANL SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS AND
  GUIDELINES FOR THE PROCUREMENT AND INSTALLATION
  OF ENGINEERNG DESIGNS
• SPECIFICATION ARE BASED ON INDUSTRY STANDARD
  SPECIFICATIONS
• UTILIZE THE CSI SPECIFICATION FORMAT AND
  NUMBERING SYSTEMS
• SPECIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN MODIFIED TO INCORPORATE
  LANL ESM REQUIREMENTS
• THE SPECIFICATIONS REQUIRE MODIFICATION TO MEET
  THE PROJECT SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS.
• THEY ARE AVAILABLE ON-LINE FOR USE BY LANL
  APPROVED CONTRACTORS
• PROVIDES CONSISTENCY IN MEETING LANLS
  REQUIREMENTS FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

LANL ENGINEERING PROCESSES- CoE

• LANL CONDUCT OF ENGINEERING
• PROVIDES DOCUMENTED SYSTEMATIC PROCESSES AND
  PROCEDURES FOR THE EXECUTION OF LANL ENGINEERING
  ACTIVITIES
• PROCESSES TO DEFINE PROJECT AND ENGINEERING
  REQUIREMENTS
• PROCEDURES FOR EXECUTING DESIGN ACTIVITIES
• DESIGNS WILL BE DEVELOPED, DOCUMENTED MODIFIED,
  REVIEWED AND APPROVED FOR USE
• LANL BUILDING OFFICIAL
• CONDUCT OF ENGINEERING PROCEDURES MAY APPLY TO
  ENGINEERING CONTRACTOR

ENGINEERING DELIVERABLES

• TYPICAL ENGINEERNG DELIVERABLES
• ENGINEERING CALCULATONS
• DRAWINGS
• ARCHITECTURAL
• CIVIL/STRUCTURAL
• MECHANICAL
• ELECTRICAL
• PROCESS/PIPING/FIRE PROTECTION/SECURITY/IC
• PROCUREMENT SPECIFICATIONS
• CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS
• TEST AND ACCEPTANCE PLANS
• CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES

12
ENGINEERING EXECUTION

• DOE DEFINES PROJECTS IN FOUR PHASES
• TITLE I CONCEPTUAL AND PRELIMINARY DESIGN WHEN
  ENGINEERING CONCEPTS ARE ESTABLISHED AND
  DOCUMENTED (DRAWINGS,SPECS CALCS)
• TITLE II - DETAILED DESIGN PHASE OF A PROJECT.
  ENGINEERING IS COMPLETED, VERIFIED, REVIEWED AND
  APPROVED FOR ISSUE TO CONSTRUCTION
• TITLE III - CONSTRUCTION PHASE OF THE PROJECT
  WHERE EQUIPMENT IS ORDERED, INSTALLED AND TESTED
  ACCORDING TO THE FINAL DESIGN
• TITLE IV IS HANDOVER TO THE OWNERS AND CLOSE
  OUT OF THE PROJECT FINAL DOCUMENTATION

13
HOW TO DO ENGINEERING WORK FOR LANL

• LANL WORKS WITH QUALIFIED ENGINEERING FIRMS,
  VENDORS AND SUPPLIERS.
• THE LANL BUSINESS GROUP WILL BE ABLE TO ASSIST IN
  PROVIDING THE PROPER DOCUMENTATION TO GET ON THE
  QUALIFIED VENDORS LIST

14
LANL CONTRACTS AND DOCUMENTS

• PROCUREMENT PACKAGES CAN BE VERY INTIMIDATING
• LARGE VOLUME OF DOCUMENTS
• VERY DETAILED AND SPECIFIC
• REFER TO MANY DOE AND NATIONAL STANDARDS
• LOTS OF BOILER PLATE
• KEY ENGINEERING DOCUMENT IS EXHIBIT D IT
  DEFINES THE SCOPE OF THE JOB THAT ENGINEERNG
  SERVICES ARE BEING REQUESTED
• PAY ATTENTION TO - SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS,
  DOCUMENT REVIEW REQUIREMENTS AND CONFORMNACE TO
  SAFETY AND SECURITY REQUIREMENTS
