works and tank construction. The main dealing of this particular organization is with the
construction of EPC for the project under sub contractor Al Husam General Contracting LLC.
CE 2.3 Project Background
CE 2.3.1 Characteristics of the project
The project of Saudi Elastomers was executed for understanding the synthetic or
natural polymer that has all the elastic properties. This project comprised of the entire process
of making an elastomer and how it is utilized in various products and services. This polymer
has extremely weak intermolecular forces and higher failure strain in comparison to other

polymers. The project was executed by SABIC organization and the contractor of this project
was TECHNIP. Al Husam General Contracting LLC was the sub contractor of this particular
project. This project was located in Jubail Industrial City, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,
which is again one of the most important cities in the world.
CE 2.3.2 Objectives developed for the project
This particular project had various significant objectives. They are as follows:
 To know about Saudi Elastomers.
 To understand the entire process of Elastomers
 To maintain the quality of the products and services.
CE 2.3.3 My area of work
I had worked under the sub contractor, Al Husam General Contracting LLC in the
project. I was an important part of this particular project of Saudi Elastomers. I was in the
organization for 2 years and my journey started from January of the year 2014 until February
of the year 2016. I learned various new things in this time. This project had helped me in
unveiling an incredible journey of experience and professionalism. I was solely associated
with the several teams and with various important projects throughout these two years. I
received as well as gained precious experience with and since the commencement of this
project until execution, commission and testing of it. My major work area was the inspection
of quality control for all the services as well as products. I made sure that there is no loophole
in the quality of the products and also ensured that the safety of the employees and workers
are maintained properly.

CE 2.3.5 My responsibilities throughout the project
I was chosen as the inspector for quality control in the project of Saudi Elastomers.
My first and the foremost responsibility was the proper coordination with consultants and
representatives and even meeting and inspecting the particular in charge of site to assure
regarding problems in quality. These quality related problems majorly involved the
diminishing of every non compliance report, checking the quality of all the documents like
site instruction or observations, test results, other documents of quality assurance and quality
control, certificates, calibration, inspection requests, non compliance reports and the delivery
of permanent materials. I even rechecked the bevel angle; joint fit ups, root face, root gap and

the pipe alignment before laminating them in fabrication phase. I even conducted the
inspection of routine lamination on the site and then supervised the construction work of
quality. I even confirmed that the completed laminated profile and the release of sub
assemblies, completed assemblies are released. My next significant duty was the assurance of
quality control by simply performing every regular inspection as well as testing of the
character or scope that is needed for obtaining the best construction quality in the
specification and drawing for each and every work that is underneath both onsite and offsite.
I was a performer for commissioning, testing and reviewing the register on every penalty and
repair shot. I even finalized the work of piping and took follow ups for rectification work in
all the system of pipeline with the work of lamination, and checking according to
specifications that are indicated in engineering standards of SABIC. Furthermore, I even
conducted various hydro tests for the firewater lines and the drinking water lines, and
conducted test as per the test plan of inspection, preparation of package. I made sure that the
procedure of consumable handing is properly followed as well as maintained.
CE 2.4 Distinctive Activity
CE 2.4.1 Engineering knowledge and skills applied in the project
I have applied my mechanical engineering knowledge and skills in this project for
completing the project successfully. Although, this project was for only two years, I made
sure that I fulfil all my duties properly and with perfection. Apart from core mechanical
engineering skills, I have immense knowledge in computer. I have also applied my computer
proficiencies like Primavera, AutoCAD, MS Office, Elite software and many more.
CE 2.4.2 Identified issues and their solutions
2.4.2.1 Issues

During the tenure of my service, I have faced two significant issues in this project.
These issues were required to be resolved as soon as possible. The two issues in this project
are as follows:
i) The first problem, which I had faced in the project, was while assessing the site
conditions, the application destinations for deciding the degree of help; the pipe might be
required from the encompassing soil.
ii) The second problem, which I had faced in this project, was during the load
conveying capacity of any particular pipe. The pipe with high DR could be extraordinarily
expanded by dirt, in which the pipe is inserted.
2.4.2.2 Solutions
I provided relevant solutions for the above-mentioned issues and thus these issues
were solved. The solutions that I provided to the issues are as follows:
i) For the first problem, I understood that the designer of the pipe should require to set
up any particular establishment, where the entombment profundity of the pipe is moderately
profound. Moreover, the place where the DR of the pipe is high and where the surface loads
or live loads are available and the subsurface soil conditions are not strong enough, the
designer would have to set up the establishment. I gave the suggestion that the fundamental
sewer lines and the process water lines should be incorporated with the several provincial
transmission and circulation water lines. I knew that these lines contained weight channels
that were to be introduced at shallow profundities. The smaller measurement weight pipes do
not have sufficient solidness and thus it is pointless to create an interior examination of the
pipe for redirection. Thus, my issue was solved.

ii) For the second problem, I suggested when the pipe is stacked, stack should be
exchanged from the pipe with the dirt by an even outward development of pipe divider. These
up gradations contacted amongst the pipe and soil and thus assembled the inactive protection
from the dirt. This protection helped in avoiding further pipe twisting and added to the help
of vertical burdens. The measure of protection was found in the insertion soil for an
immediate outcome of the establishment system. The stiffer the installation materials were,
the less avoidance occurred. Along these lines, the amalgamation of pipe and insertion was
regularly alluded to as a pipe-soil framework. Thus, I was able to solve this issue and the
major goal of pipe establishment was achieved.
CE 2.4.3 Plan to produce creative and innovative work
Our plan was to produce innovative and creative work by segregating our roles. We
made sure that the product quality is not compromised and thus were successful to do so. We
attended workshops for understanding the project and also gave training to the new interns.

CE 2.5.1 Project Overview
This project helped to understand the process of making a polymer, elastomer. The
project did not incur huge cost and the budget was followed. Although, in the beginning the
costs were getting high, however, I managed to complete the project within budget. The
project owner in this particular project was SABIC, TECHNIP was the contractor and Al
Husam General Contracting LLC was the sub contractor. This project was located in Jubail
industrial city, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

CE 2.5.2 My contribution to work
I was recruited as the QC inspector in the project. My major contribution to this work
was inspecting the quality of the products and services. I even took economical and financial
decision so that the project is completed within budget approved. I even worked with the
suppliers and made sure that all the departments are getting their products timely. I also made
various presentations for my senior, sub ordinates regarding the total development of this
project, and made sure that every employee and worker is working in a safe environment.
