 PROCEDURES/PROCESS
Pre-fabrication and pre-installation requirements
1. Apply for Clearance of mechanical/electrical design
for fabrication or installation to the nearest RO or BWC
with authorized PME/PEE;
2. The processor (LI) will check and evaluate all
documents submitted;
3. Result of evaluation will be communicated. (Outright
at the receiving table or written communication if
application was received thru mail)
 PROCEDURES/PROCESS
4. Complete application will be stamp “CLEARED” by
the PME/PEE assigned and will sent back to RO for TSI;

5. The RO will conduct the TSI and issue the

corresponding Notice of payment; and

6. RO to prepare the Permit To Operate/ Certificate of

Electrical Installation after submission of proof of
payment from the LGU.
 PROCEDURES/PROCESS
Fabrication requirements (Boilers & PV)
 LI shall check material inspection (confirmation with
ASME Code or PME Code or PE Code for material
requirements) welding procedures/ dimensional &
visual examination review of design calculation.
Installation requirements
 LI will request the client to conduct the necessary and
appropriate testing whether hydrostatic test or NDT on
boiler and pressure vessel or load test on elevator,
crane, hoist or insulation resistance or megger test for
electrical installation.
 DESIGN CALCULATIONS
BOILER/PRESSURE VESSEL FABRICATION
Design Pressure, P (lbs/in²)
Allowable Stress, Sa (lbs/in²)
Tensile Stress, St (lbs/in²)
Inside Diameter, D (in)
Radius, R (in)
Shell Joint Efficiency, E (%)
Head Joint Efficiency, e (%)
Corrosion Allowance, C.A (in)
Thinning Allowance, T.A. (in)
 DESIGN CALCULATIONS
1. Shell Thickness, ts

ts = + C.A.
Sa(E) – 0.6P

2. Head Thickness, th

 DESIGN CALCULATIONS
FOUNDATION DESIGN CALCULATION
for Genset:
Engine Stroke, (m)
Engine Speed, N (rpm)
Weight, We (kgs)
No. of Cylinders
Actual Length, L (m)
Actual Width, W (m)
Actual Depth, D (m)
 DESIGN CALCULATIONS
1. Minimum required weight of foundation to absorb
vibration, Wf (kgs)
Wf = We x e x sq. root of N
2. Depth of Foundation (Df)
Df = 3.2 to 4.2 times the engine stroke
3. Area of Foundation, Af (sq.m)
Af = L x W
4. Volume of Foundation, Vf (cu. m)
Vf = L x W x D
 DESIGN CALCULATIONS
5. Actual Weight of Foundation, Wf’ (kgs)
Wf’ = Vf x Dc
6. Density of Concrete Mixture for 1:2:4
Dc = 2,406 kgs/m³
Note: Wf’ > Wf
7. Total Bearing Load, TBL (kgs)
TBL = We + Wf’
8. Soil Bearing Load (SBL)
SBL = TBL / Af
 DESIGN CALCULATIONS
9. Allowable Soil Bearing Capacity in the locality
where the engine is to be installed
ASBP = 12,225 kgs/m²
10. Factor of Safety of the concrete foundation shall be
at least five (5)
FS = ASBP/ SBL
