Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6178472

Contract No. EF-77-C-01-2542 between Conoco Inc. and the US Department of Energy provides for the design, construction and operation of a demonstration plant capable of processing bituminous caking coals into clean pipeline quality gas. The project is currently in the design phase (Phase I), scheduled to be completed in June, 1981. Task VII in Phase I requires a staffing plan, a configuration management plan, and construction schedules and controls. Staffing plans for Conoco Inc. and a typical construction managing firm are presented. Peak supervisory manpower will be approximately 100 from the nineteenth through the twenty-sixth month of construction. The Configuration Management Plan for Phase II is outlined. The bulk of this volume contains details on Phase II controls and schedules. The major conclusions of this preliminary construction schedule are: (1) plant start-up will occur 39 months after Phase II begins; (2) Section 100 (Feedstock Preparation) engineering and purchasing are critical activities at the start of Phase II; (3) Section 2000 (Steam Plant) construction is critical to construction completion; (4) the low float time on Section 100 (Feedstock Preparation) and Section 300 (Gasification) Construction activities means these sections must be monitored very closely; (5) total manpower requirement is 3.644 million man-hours with a peak of 1400-1500 men on site.
