TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONDUCTING SPRING HANGER & PIPING

SUPPORT INSPECTION FOR CHILCA UNO COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANT


BACKGROUND

Our plant site is located in Lima, Peru. However most of the industrial components used
during plant erection were brought from the US, Europe and South Korea, and following this
lead, we have privileged since then direct contact with the OEM or its authorized distributors
therein...
As of now, we are interested in solely performing a spring hanger & pipe support inspection
that uncovers any problems or help us out in identifying options for improving our current
configuration.

From our standpoint it is clear that a hanger and support inspection must be implemented
the sooner the better. EnerSur has finally gathered as much information as readily available
at plant site project documentation library regarding pipe hangers and supports, it is almost
215 MB in size

Bearing in mind our HRSG units were built and erected as per ASME Section VIII 2007
Edition with 2009 Addenda & HEI, we will request that winner bidding company be certified
accordingly for performing this tasks. On this regard, EnerSur will appraise the most to
bidding companies whose personnel exhibit a technical background in excess of 5 years in
performing this task.

All tools and equipment to be used in these activities must have an updated certification for
conducting the tests as per ASME, NB, or MSS SP regulations applicable hereinwe will
apply the most stringent criteria whenever decision-making must be done.


PLANT AND ACC LIFE STATISTICS
a. Commercial Operation Date for HRSG Units # 11, #12 and #21 including Deaerator
and ACC was Thursday, November 15
th
2012.
b. Since then, our national grid coordinator, COES for short, has dispatched our plant
either partial or base load.
c. So far, our Operation and Maintenance logbooks have recorded some unit forced
outages and trips that are available upon request for further revision.
d. Our 3 X 1 combined cycle configuration encompasses three topping cycles and one
bottoming cycle.
The topping cycles include the following machines: two Siemens V84.3a2
combustion turbine units (SGT6-4000F) and one SGT6-5000F unit, also
coded as W501FD3
The bottoming cycle comprises three BHI heat recovery steam generators,
one GE D11 steam turbine unit, an SPX air cooled condenser and four
Hyundai boiler feedwater pumps plus a Deaerator vessel

SCOPE
Following Good Industry Practices, the appointed specialist company will conduct an
inspection of as-built, as-found support components for the power piping as laid out at plant
site premises to identify current problems and defects affecting them. It is our understanding
so far that they comply and conform with ASME B31.1, MSS SP 58 & MSS SP 127. If
additional standards, recommended practices or regulations are found to be applicable for
the purpose, both the winning bidder company and EnerSur will meet together for analyzing
pros and cons for the Chilca Uno project.

Hangers & supports are to be investigated for the following:
General condition of pipe supports and hangers and their components.
Poor support design.
Faulty installation.
Incorrect load settings.
Inappropriate instructions.
Deficient quality of support components
Proper hanger type selection.
Proper loading & movements.
Possible interfering edges which may hamper the piping expansions.

Attached herein, the winning bidder company will receive the following documentation:
Complete listing of both constant-load and variable-load supporting devices as laid
out at plant site (when finally they are confirmed to be as-built and ready/available for
submittal)
Hot & Cold Temperature Settings for all pipe supports & hangers as laid out at plant
site (when finally they are confirmed to be as-built and ready/available for submittal)
Technical drawings as per listing below.
If additional information is deemed necessary and this is not available at the time, the
winner bidding company is entitled to apply best industry practices and criteria in
agreement with EnerSur in order to correct, repair, and modify existing configuration
for the good.
Main goal for this activity is to increase reliability figures for
Power Piping System running along HRSG Units # 11, # 21 & # 31 and into Steam
Turbine Unit # 270T818 including both ACC & Deaerator facilities

SUGGESTED SCHEDULE FOR SERVICE
Having into consideration that we are running out of time for appropriately addressing this
issue, our best suggested time frame and program for conducting this inspection within plant
site installation premises is as follows:
a. EnerSur Chilca Uno Combined Cycle Power Plant is currently dispatching to the grid
and spring hangers and piping supports can be considered to be operating in hot
condition and they will stay that way until November 17
th
, 2014 when its scheduled
outage will start.
b. As per last walk-down inspection, all spring hangers and pipe supports are easily and
safely accessible either by handrails, platforms, catwalks, scaffolding and/or ladders
for the purpose.
c. For the hot-condition inspection, the winner bidding company will be scheduled to
perform its duties within the timeframe period going from October 27
th
onwards and
no later than October 31
st
, 2014. EnerSur and the winner bidding company will meet
each other upon finishing the hot-settings spring hanger and pipe support inspection
on a daily basis. The winner bidding company will release a preliminary report
immediately afterwards and will issue a final report within the next five (5) working
days for review.
d. For the cold-condition inspection, the winner bidding company will be scheduled to
perform its duties within the timeframe period going from November 20
th
onwards
and no later than November 25
th
, 2014. The winner bidding company will release a
preliminary report immediately afterwards and will issue a final report within the next
ten (10) working days for review.
e. The winner bidding company may suggest a work schedule in advance so that all
activities run smoothly.
SPECIAL TOOLING NEEDED FOR PERFORMING THE SERVICE
a. As per EnerSur best understanding, no special tools will be deemed necessary other
than those used by the winner bidding company. HRSG and deaerator units are
provisioned with ladders and handrails for safely getting access to equipment. If need
be, EnerSur will take care of temporary scaffolding for hard-to-reach areas, manlift
equipment and loader cranes fit for the purpose.
b. Updated calibration certificates are mandatory for all tools and instrumentation used
in this inspection.
MATERIALS, CONSUMABLES & SPARE PARTS
a. EnerSur will not provide special materials, consumables that are not supplied via
local vendors in Peru, so the winning bidder company must account for these and the
logistic support that may be needed for having them available at plant site. EnerSur
may assist the winning bidder in getting contact credentials for approved and certified
local vendors.
b. EnerSur will supply industrial-grade water (desalinated and deionized water),
electricity (480 VAC, 220 VAC, 60 Hz, single-phase, three-phase), compressed air
(100 psig) and any means deemed necessary to make them available at specific
areas near the ACC installation.

SAFETY REGULATIONS
EnerSur is an ISO compliant company and is currently certified at ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and
ISO 18001 so we promote quality and safety at work alongside environmental stewardship.
On this regard, all employees and people working inside the plant site must follow safety
regulations that will prevent any accidents from occurring anytime, anywhere.
a. All winning bidder company inspectors will attend a health and safety induction
training session (no longer than 2 hours)
b. The winning bidder company will prepare a risk assessment matrix / environmental
impact assessment for the job being carried out
c. The winning bidder company inspectors will have documentation updated for
labor/life insurance.
d. The winning bidder company inspectors will generate a short form for describing the
job to be performed at plant site so that EnerSur can help in implementing a lock-out
/ tag-out procedure to suit their needs, having in mind there will be other contract
companies doing different activities and performing other jobs at the same time.
e. Even though EnerSur knows that above-mentioned ISO standards can not
completely equate to OSHA regulations, we understand that the core business for
the latter is also employee life- and health preservation. On this regard, EnerSur will
accept them as a valid and added aid and will help us during safety training sessions.
DELIVERABLES
a. Following the SPRING HANGER & PIPE SUPPORT INSPECTION, both the winning
bidder company inspectors and EnerSur interested parties will meet together for a
preliminary report of activities accomplished so far and for identifying findings that
may entail prompt action to circumvent near-future problems.
b. If further documentation is needed for circumscribing scope of conclusions and
recommendations, the winning bidder company is entitled to issue timely inquiries
within 5 DAYS before the final report is submitted for a last revision and discussion.
c. Final report must be issued in one hard paper copy and in digital format, CD-ROM or
DVD media, depending on how much resolution the video or picture material does
have or how hefty the documentation may be.
d. The winning bidder company will issue an updated listing of spring hangers and pipe
support components in an illustrated Excel sheet as per the recommended format
