PICOM USER MANUAL


1. INTRODUCTIONThis manual introduces all the operational features of Picom. The paragraph Menu

describes the functions for each specific operating activity.

Note: Menu titles in Italian language (fonts in green colour italics); next to it English translation is

given within parenthesis.

2. PURPOSE

Picom is an in-house software tool developed by Snamprogetti. This tool is used by the

piping department. In addition, Picom is linked to the following tools/department:

PDS (Piping Layout)

SAP (Procurement)

Listini(Price data base)

Gespi(Piping classes)

Puma (Painting and Insulation)

Gemapi(Site material management)

Mechanical quantities (Estimation / Planning)

EIM (Project document control)

to exchange data between them, in order to carry out their respective scope of work.

Picom is used for manual input of BOM (based on piping layout / plot plan and P&ID) or

BOM derived from PDS isometrics up to issuing of MTO and Purchase Requisition.

3. SALIENT FEATURES

Some of the salient features of Picom are as follows:

BOM can be grouped by Plant, Underground and Pipe-rack.

Marks can be created manually in Picom for special components that are not included

in piping classes.

Assemblies can be created for drains, vents and instruments.

Verification of each line/component for hydro-test, rating and intersections (for pipe-to-

pipe branches with dimensions of pad required) using the construction codes applied

in piping classes.

Assigning of pre-fabrication or erection of components according to size, type etc.. is

system performed. Though, the pre-fabrication/erection can be forced as per projectrequirement.

Contingency rule is inbuilt. But can be modified by Administrator.

4.B) JOB ORGANISATION:

Job set up details is filled in here by the Administrator.

4.B.1) Data and structure:

Administrator inputs required details in: General, Sub-job, Units, Areas, Painting

Insulation, Fluid and PR Numbering.

4.B.2) Job Criteria Domains Material Group:

base and modifies, if required.

4.B.3) Job Criteria Domains PR Class:

Administrator establishes the PR class library for the job from the main data base

and modifies, if required.

4.B.4) Job Criteria Criteri (Criteria):

Some of the reports that can be produced are line list, line material, material take off,

purchase requisition, piping classes, mechanical quantities, etc.

- Open metaframe & click Picom extraction

- Go to MS Excel - Tools menu - Picom ext. 1.0011

- Choose job - choose the relevant excel feature of extraction required e.g. -

piping classes related info. prepared by Gespi

6.B) OBSOLETE MARK

To verify the mark numbers, if any are obsolete. This can happen when the piping

class is modified in Gespi. Before issuing PR to SAP obsolete marks have to be

verified and the correct mark numbers should be allotted. If purchase of those

components with obsolete marks is done, site construction has to be advised of those

materials, in order to quarantine or use for other requirements.

- Data elaboration (extraction)

- Execution - Report web - 15. Obsolete Mark

- Purchase requisition (last rev) - sent to SAP

- ISOs ready for construction

- Select by all (or) sub-job - Site advised about the change of mark codes for

those components that are changed

7.A) GEMAPI (GESTIONE MATERIALI PIPING)GEMAPI (Gestione Materiali Piping) is a site material management software.

The data extracted from Picom includes 19 *.lst files such as line materials, BOM by

line, list of marks, etc. Also, the data received from SAP is merged with this data

(PR, Purchase Order, expediting details) by using MAGA to proceed with site

construction activities.

Procedure:

- Open Picom

- Choose job

- Double click Data elaboration - Execution

- Choose Import / Export Dati - Export data for Gemapi

- 19 No. of *.lst files are extracted to the project folder

- Zip those 19 No. *.lst files and send to site by email for construction activity.

7.B) PUMA (ECOS) - PAINTING AND INSULATION

Puma is a software tool to calculate surface area for the pipes and piping

components. The inputs required for Puma are Line list and Line material, which are

extracted in excel format from Picom Extraction tool.

The required surface area for Painting and Insulation can be produced by Line, Unit

(area), or as per our requirement.

Puma can be accessed through metaframe link.

7.C) MECHANICAL QUANTITY

Mechanical quantity is a software tool to set the parameters of handling of materials,

welding, jointing, NDE, steam tracing, pressure tests and chemical cleaning to the line

material data available from Picom. The line material is imported from Picom

database.

This data from Mechanical Quantity is provided to another software named BOOF to

calculate and make estimation for manhours, materials, budgeting etc.

7.D) EIM (ENGINEERING INTEGRATION MANAGER)

EIM provides the project personnel with all the information relating to the job for

module named Directa works like an electronic document management system,

through which the status of project execution can be known.
