Section Two

FIELD

FABRICATION

AND

ERECTION

This section is intended to suffice for the com-
plete labor involved in the installation and field
fabrication as maybe necessary to put a system
of process piping into operation in an industrial
or chemical plant.
The man hours listed are for labor only and do
not have any bearing on materials or equipment.
All labor for unloading from railroad cars or
trucks hauling to and unloading at storage facil-
ities, hauling from storage to erection site and
rigging or hoisting into place have been given
due consideration in the man hours listed for
the various operations. While it is true that the
aforementioned operations involve more time
than is required merely to haul materials from
and on the job, fabricating shop or storage area,
nevertheless, we have found that these are op-
erations that will balance themselves out over a
complete piping job. No consideration has been
given to overhead or profit.
For the field fabrication and erection of alloy
and non - ferrous piping and fittings, apply the
percentages which appear under Section Three
to the following pages listing the various field
operations.
