PROCEDURE FOR DESINING AND DEFINING DISCIPOLING
RESPONSIBILITIES FOR UNDERGROUND PIPING SYSTEMS

2.0 UNDERGROUND PIPING DEFINITIONS AND RESPONSIBLE DESIGN

DISCIPLINE

In order to assign areas of responsibility, underground piping is divided into types

of underground piping systems. The discipline responsible for design of the
various systems is shown in parenthesis. These systems are defined as follows:

2.1 Uncontaminated Storm Water (Civil)

This system generally collects all storm water from non-hydrocarbon-

bearing access ways, roadways and paved areas. This collection is
achieved through the use of area drains, catch basins, roof leaders
ditches or swales. The system may include a detention pond with options
for discharge to the treatment facility or to the plants designated National
Pollution discharge and Elimination System (NPDES) outfall. By
definition, this system has no dry weather flow.

2.2 Contaminated Storm Water (Piping)

This system collects surface drainage from areas containing chemical

and/or hydrocarbon-bearing equipment. This water must pass through a
treatment facility before being discharged into an uncontaminated system
or natural body of water (e.g., a river or stream). By definition, this
system must have no dry weather flow. This system should be
independent of the uncontaminated storm water system.

2.3 Oily Water Sewer (Piping)

This system collects waste, drips and leaks from equipment and piping in
areas that contain process equipment in noncorrosive services. The Plant
layout Designer must consult with the Process Engineer and
Environmental Engineer to fully identify all such equipment, provide a
vapor tight connection at each item and insure the system is fully
enclosed and vapor tight. Current regulations require many of the sewers
that routinely carry hydrocarbon and VOC’s to be vapor tight, fully piped
and routed to a treatment system prior to discharging beyond the battery
limits.

2.0 UNDERGROUND PIPING DEFINITIONS AND RESPONSIBLE DESIGN

DISCIPLINE (Continued)

2.4 Acidican Caustic Sewers (Piping)

This system recovers acids and caustics from equipment and piping as
well as surface drainage around such equipment and piping through the
use of curbed areas and drain hubs. This system may be routed to a
sump for disposal, if it does not contain hydrocarbons above a 10 PPM
concentration, it may be passed through a neutralization facility and
discharged into a water treatment system.

2.5 Sanitary Sewer (Civil)

This system collects raw waste from showers, urinals, toilers an

lavatories. The effluent is either discharged to the plant sanitary sewer
collection system, lift station, sump or separate septic system.

2.6 Blowdown/recirculation System (Piping)

This system picks up drains around boilers and steam drums and is run
as a separate system, preferably to recycle within the plant battery limit.

2.7 Chemical Solvent Collection System (Piping)

Many chemicals and solvents emitting VOC’s are reclaimed in a separate

closed collection system.

2.8 Cooling Water (Piping)

This system supplies water to such process equipment as surface

condensers, coolers and pumps through a header system.

2.9 Fire Water (Piping)

This system consists of a loop around a process unit or equipment, with

branches as required for hydrants or monitors, to project the unit in case
of fire.

DISCIPLINE (Continued)

2.10 Potable Water (Piping)

This water is used for drinking, emergency eyewashes and shower

facilities.

2.11 Construction Materials

Materials selection is the responsibility of the Piping Specifications

Engineer and depends on service, operating pressure and temperature,
durability, economics and availability.

The Process Engineer should be consulted for special chemical

containments for system described in 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.7.

3.0 DESIGN FLOW CHARTS

The flow charts for each type of underground piping system graphically illustrate
the design development steps. Interfaces, approvals and discipline
responsibilities of the design process are indicated.

4.0 UNDERGROUND PIPING DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

4.1 Process Engineering Initiation

The Process Engineering work is based on the definition of the required

battery limit pressures, (both entering/exiting lines) as provided by the
client (or required by regulations) and flow rates as provided by the client
(or required by regulations) and flow rates as provided by the client and
other Jacobs Engineering disciplines or developed by the Process
Engineer. The definition of battery limit pressures and flows are
combined with piping routing requirements to provide the basis for the
subsequent hydraulic calculations and line sizing (diameter) by the
Process Engineer.

In addition, within the battery limits, there will be gravity flow lines (drains)
which must be sized and represented on P&ID’s,. The sizing basis (spill,
firewater, storm water, back flush, etc.) and sizing calculations may be
provided by either Civil or Process, as is deemed appropriate.

4.0 UNDERGROUND PIPING DESIGN DEVELOPMENT (continued)

4.2 Environmental Interface

Environmental regulatory interpretation and design conformance relative

to underground piping. Process Engineering provides the expertise for
FDC, P&ID’s, material balances, etc. Early coordination for PFD/P&ID
review will be maintained between Environmental and Process Engineers
to identify the process, waste and waste water streams that are impacted
by environmental regulations and also address specific permit
requirements.

A summary listing of affected flows will be prepared and the

environmental requirements identified. Note: Tanks, sumps or basins
having any portion placed below grade level must meet the same criteria
as underground piping.

Environmental Management will be responsible for signing all PFD’s

prepared by Environmental. Environmental will conduct audits of each
project to insure compliance with environmental regulations and that
designs meet the permit requirements. The PFD’s and underground
piping/sewer plans will have a Review Notation and Signature Block for
Environmental sign-off.

4.3 Special Consultant Interface:

Jacob’s Fire Protection Consultant will be utilized from PFD development

through discipline design completion for underground firewater piping
systems.

4.4 Initial Client Approval

The hydraulic design basis of the piping system must be approved by the
client prior to the preparation of the P&ID.

4.5 P&ID Development

a. Discipline Interface and Input

The Process Engineer performs the hydraulic calculations to size

the piping and prepare the P&ID with input as appropriate from
other Jacobs Engineering/Design disciplines.

b. Squad Check

P&ID shall be squad checked (P&ID) Issue “A”) prior to issuing for
client approval (P&ID Issue “B”).

c. Client Approval

The P&ID issue “B” must be approved by the client in advance of

the next phase of P&ID development.

d. HAZOP Approval

The Client/Jacobs team must jointly perform a HAZOP on P&ID

issue “C” to satisfy hazard and operability issues with the P&ID.
Once the HAZOP issues are resolved, the P&ID is revised and
approved by the client for design.

4.6 P&ID Issued for Design

After the P&ID is “Approved for Design” by the client, the approprite
responsible Jacobs’ design discipline has a basis for proceeding with
detailed design.

RESPONSIBILITIES FOR UNDERGROUND PIPING SYSTEMS

The completed detailed design drawings will require a Squad Check by

all disciplines. The disciplines involved include Piping, Civil/Structural,

Architectural, Process, Electrical, Environmental, Mechanical, Control

Systems and Project. All marks will be addressed and revised as
appropriate so that all disciplines are in agreement with the completed
package.

5.5 Client Approval

The drawings are now ready for client approval. The completed drawings
are issued to the client for their approval. Any changes made by client
will require further review by the affected design disciplines.

6.0 ISSUE FOR CONSTRUCTION

When the detailed design drawings have been reviewed and approved by
each of the design disciplines and the client, they are ready to be “Issued
for Construction.”

7.0 CONCLUSION

7.1 As environmental laws and regulations are becoming increasingly more

stringent, economics dictates that underground hydrocarbon bearing
piping be minimized in petrochemical plant design. This issue must be
addressed and the design philosophy resolved with the client and project
team in the early stages of project development.

7.2 Design parameters, client needs, economics, operations, safety and

environmental regulations must all be addressed with considering
underground piping systems.

7.0 The effort required to keep up with and comprehend the volumes of
environmental laws and regulations, concerning underground piping is
tremendous. The Environmental Department can best accomplish this
7.0 CONCLUSION ( CONTINUED)

task, and it is our recommendation that they be responsible to

continuously educate the Project, Process, Civil/Structural and Piping
disciplines on the environmental laws that impact their designs.

7.4 This QIT did not address the detailed design requirements of each of
these various types of underground piping systems. We recommend a
QIT be commissioned to accomplish this task. Appropriate details can be
adopted from the NESHAP and environmental projects currently in-house
or recently completed. An interested and knowledgeable core group
could develop these design standards to be used as guidelines for future
projects.

7.5 All environmental requirements concerning underground piping systems

shall be shown on the P&ID’s. It is the Project manager’s responsibility to
insure an Environmental Engineer is assigned to the project for this
purpose.
