MEP Support system Introduction This subject is one of the most Critical subjects that have a direct effect on the MEP Installation work progress and the achievement of the project completion work plan. As Known in Shamiyah projects support system calculation is the most Headache subject because of The un clear Design Criteria since the Beginning of the project and the usual changes in the Design parameters by Reviewers and the interface from SBG. We got the Agreed Design Criteria on 2020. We have more than 800 support calculations Generated based on the site request as per below summary. Support summary break down Support systems for Mechanical services supplier wise classifications Page 1 of 12 Support systems for Mechanical services project wise classifications Support systems for Electrical services supplier wise classifications Support systems for Electrical services project wise classifications Page 2 of 12 General support system solution for MEP services ceiling mounted on concrete slab. Introduction General support solution is an intelligent solution for saving time and efforts for all the concerned departments and reduce the long time elapsed to provide the support calculation. the concept of general support is built on the frame weight capacity start from 100 kg up to 500 Kg distributed on single or multi-layers as per site condition. The general solution provides ready frames for Normal and Seismic support and the site team will make only selections for the frames that match with the site case. The Target of general support solution: To Solve the procurement requirements for providing 3 calculations from 3 different suppliers at least. Saving the time of the long process of support calculation that in some cases take years. Totals Approved numbers of General Support Calculation We got Dar approvals for Four Different Manufacturers (Hilti, Fischer, Inka& solver) and remaining tow Manufactures (Link & Mupro) under process the total submittal approvals for General support till now are 10 submittals normal and seismic cases. Advantage of General support The general support provide solution for 70% at least from the scope of work at site Disadvantage of the General solution 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Not covering the Equipment’s supports Not covering the FF systems Not covering the MEP Riser supports Not covering the floor mounted supports Not covering the ceiling mounted on Steel profiles Not covering the pumped piping system larger than 350 mm and the chilled water pipes that required stress analysis as per Dar comments Page 3 of 12 Summary table for General support calculation references: Sample of supplier summary tables Hilti Page 4 of 12 Frame shape Page 5 of 12 Page 6 of 12 Page 7 of 12 Fischer Frame shapes Page 8 of 12 Inka Page 9 of 12 Frame shape Page 10 of 12 Solver Frame shapes Page 11 of 12 Page 12 of 12
