A
fter spending quite a few years in the Middle East, Ramadan has be-
come one of my favorite annual events and my lifestyle is also naturally adjusted to accommodate this particular season of the year.
Of course, Ramadan has particular religious meaning for Muslim people. I
also recently learnt that Ramadan is another opportunity for Muslim families to re-strengthen their family ties by spending various rituals together
during this season.
Part of Ramadan tradition is Iftar which is the breaking of the fast. Last
19th July 2014 Chiyoda Almana organized an Iftar Party at Four Seasons
Hotel for its Management and employees. It was another good opportunity
Mr. Johannes Mooren to regain ties among each other, belonging to same the organization. It
Mr. Fernando Lakampuenga was also an occasion to recognize the Top Performers during the first half
Mr. Stephen Robertson of the year. My warm congratulations to all of the awardees!
Mr. Mochamad Riza Achrullah Chiyoda Almana is steadily growing; thanks to the efforts and contributions
Ms. Estrella Lopez by everyone. It is imperative that open and clear-cut communication
Mr. John Darryl Sta Ana among employees be observed religiously to maintain and improve our ef-
Mr. Danilo Yao ficiency for our further growth.
Mr. Tatsuaki Kaneko Although this year’s Ramadan has already passed, I hope that everyone has
Mr. Nidhish Anony taken it as a very good opportunity for us who work in multi-nationals with
Mr. Oscar Presnilla Jr. different cultures/ religions to observe Ramadan with the spirit of recogni-
tion and respect of the different cultures and religions existing in the Mid-
Thanks to our Editors: dle East.
Mr. Oscar Presnilla Jr. I personally extend my thanks to all those who participated in this year’s
Mr. Graham Matthews Blood Donation Campaign conducted in June 2014, especially to the do-
Ms. Fathima Zafra Hanifa nors. Your courage to donate blood means saving another person's life.
And this is what our CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) is all about, car-
Thanks to our Graphics Designer: ing and giving back to society where our organization belongs.

sized projects. The major targets of the Shell Project are the
successful executions of the 1st Major Turn Around scheduled
on 15 Feb 2015 and the 2nd Major Turn Around in Feb 2016.
 Recently, we completed the QAFAC Methanol Converter EPC
lump sum project successfully ahead of schedule, and supported QAFAC pre-shut down projects.
Shizuka Ikawa Managing Director  For QP FEED for KO-Drum project, progress achieved 97.5%,
now FEED Package Close-out is under process..
 For ADGAS, received Consultancy Services for “LNG/LPG
tank PSV & VSV replacement Project”.
We have almost completed half of this fiscal year 2014 (from April)
quite successfully. I would like to thank you again for the successes at
Chiyoda Almana and the very strong performance conducted so far. I
hope that we will continue and further improve our performance for the
remainder of the year. On this occasion I would like to share some
topics and the latest status of Chiyoda Almana with all of you.
Safety Safety is always the most important thing for us, since we are proud of
being the No.1 Brownfield Engineering Contractor with our remarkable HSE achievements in brown-field. As of the 10th of July we have
knocked the bell of 15 Million site Man-hours without a LTI. This tremendous achievement in brown field reflects the excellent HSE commitment by senior management and team spirit of every individual
Chiyoda-Almana staff member involved. In addition, we achieved 10
Million Site Man-hours without a LTI for RasGas LT EPCM (OPD &
PMT) on 5th of June, and also highly recognize for its excellent contribution in RasGas OPD’s Biggest Milestone of 25 Million Man-hours
LTI Free in May.
Also, the Safe and Successful execution of QAFAC, RasGas & Qatargas Scheduled & Emergency Shutdown activities without recordable
incident is much appreciated.
Increase in employee number As of the 31st August, we have 751 employees. Please note that we
were 581 employees last year. It’s quite a rapid increase. That’s because
we have created new jobs from highly promising business segments.
We shall continue to improve our structure with our eyes firmly on the
future. We are committed to keep approaching the structural changes
necessitated by our projects and business volume.
Cost Reduction and Strategic Budget Allocation With all of your recognition and daily effort, our Non-Billable MH
control has been better than before. We shall now move to the next
target which is to reduce “In-direct Cost”.
This is very important at this moment, when our employees’ number is
increasing drastically. Chiyoda Almana Management is requesting all
employees to share their ideas, suggestions or thoughts of cost reduction plans. However, not only the cost cut, but “Strategic Budget Allocation Plan” is also requested. We encourage our employees to work on
developing these plans either individually or in teams. Please remember
that this will bring BIG benefit for Chiyoda Almana.
Job Status We have made outstanding achievements and continued good performances for various project executions in 2014. Here are some highlights which I am proud to report:
 RG appreciated us for successfully executing 3 shutdown projects ahead of schedule in a safely manner, and also for our
urgent support to RasGas during their emergency shutdown.
 The RG FAP is a very important high profile EPC Lump-sum
project for Qatar, which now enters the construction phase of
the project and is well on track.
 For QG, we were awarded the Flare Reduction FEED and
Study Project in February 2014. This project is related to the
Qatar environment regulation which requires that, from 2017,
all Qatar End user’s flaring shall be less than half the capacity
of 2008.
Freshmen & Ladies and CGH Young Engineers In July, 11 CGH freshmen and ladies came to Chiyoda Almana to take
part in the annual CGH new members training. In addition to this, CGH
Top management decided to assign many CGH young engineers to
work at Chiyoda Almana from this year, since Chiyoda Almana has
been well recognized as a leading Company of Chiyoda Global Operation. Please give them your full support and our Chiyoda Almana hospitality.
As we move towards the second half of the year, let us be conscious of
our individual and department’s objectives for this year and work as a
team towards achieving them.
 We were also recently awarded the Vibration Service Program
Project .This is a new type of project in brown-field business.
The team member includes Xodus vibration specialist working
in QG office to assess the integrity of the piping system against
3 GLOBAL HR—CHIYODA’S GLOBALIZATION PROGRAMME For the past year, we have been talking about Chiyoda’s Globalization Programme as Chiyoda’s work portfolio
expands outside of its traditional base in Yokohama. As we are achieving strong growth here at Chiyoda Almana, other offices are also growing in size and venturing into new areas for Chiyoda such as Chiyoda International Corporation (CIC) based in Houston, Chiyoda Oceania Pte Limited (COPL) in Australia and Chiyoda CCC Engineering Limited (CCEL) in Abu Dhabi. This expansion brings new challenges to Chiyoda in how we work and
how we interact with other Chiyoda Group companies within the Chiyoda network.
The Chiyoda Globalization Programme focuses on three key areas,
1. Business Development, 2. Project Management and last 3. Global HR. It is no. 3 I will talk about here.
Global Human Resources:
Where are we now?
In the last year and a half, much work has been going on behind the scenes to develop a Global HR Framework for
Chiyoda. As a result, two operational centres are being formed. The first in Singapore which will be called Chiyoda
Human Resources International (CHI) which was launched on 1st July 2014 and the second centre will be formed in
“This expansion brings new challenges to Chiyoda”
Who are the key players? MD of CHI (Based in Qatar for one year, then Singapore) - K. Miura san
GM of GHR Unit (Based in CGH) - Taku Ito san
VP International HR (Based in Qatar) - Graham Matthews
By: Graham Matthews— VP International HR Head of Talent Management and Retention (Based in CGH) - Paul Kelly
Head of Resource Planning and Talent Acquisition (Based in Singapore) - Ben Adams
Head of Reward (Based in Qatar for one year, then Singapore) - Husnain Zaidi
The old organization of Singapore Human Resources (SHR) will be absorbed into CHI. However, the new HR Shared
Service will provide a comprehensive HR function to all Chiyoda’s international offices.
4 What are the key priorities?  To develop a standard consistent Chiyoda brand, no matter what office or project you are working in.
 To facilitate the movement of employees around the Chiyoda organisations
 To meet the business needs of Chiyoda and provide opportunities for employees to grow within the group
 To develop Chiyoda leaders of tomorrow based on ability and potential
 To achieve a Career Development Programme that is both office specific and international in scope
 To develop a Reward Framework which is cost effective for Chiyoda to compete and also recognises employee
contributions to Chiyoda’s success
 To implement a company with Human Resources Management System, to provide up to date information to Management and Employees to underpin the other objectives.
(They are many more activities but they will be announced as the Global HR Programme is developed)
What happens next? The new HR Company, CHI, went live on 1st July 2014 and the recruitment of HR professionals who are experts in the field of
International HR is on going, with all key figures due to be in place by September 2014.
The key priorities have been defined and the actions plans are now in place to start delivery. Some employees at Chiyoda Almana will be asked to assist in some of the programmes as it is important to use the knowledge of our existing employees as
well as having their agreement on the way forward in their specialist areas.
What we will also notice initially as a company is a greater exchange of ideas and people across Chiyoda companies, which has
already begun between Chiyoda Almana and CPh especially. Later as the programme develops you will see more initiatives
bringing the various Chiyoda Offices and Projects closer together to create a truly unified international company.
5 CONGRATULATIONS to all for another r emar kable accomplishment. Thr ough our dedication &
team work we wer e able to complete safely & successfully the RasGas Tr ain 1, 2 & 5 Scheduled &
Emergency Shutdown projects. Also, I’m very proud to share that on the 5th of June 2014, Chiyoda Almana
achieved 10 Million Site Man-hours without a Lost Time Incident (LTI) under RasGas Long Term EPCM
Projects (OPD & PMT), which is a major achievement in brown field jobs.
We are now stepping into the preparation stage for new projects including RasGas Train 6 Shutdown. Our
achievements give us the confidence to face new challenges. Even in our fifth year and we are executing the
same types of job, but each job is a new challenge to us. Let us focus by maintaining our strong commitment to safety, sharing the lessons learned from previous Shutdown activities & emphasize on continuous
improvement program. The momentum must be continued and there is no room for complacency, enforcing
our safety system with more vigilance. We should always lead from the front as the EPCM contractor. Let us be proactive to meet
our target. “Success always resulted through hard work; there is no shortcut to reach there’’.
The Holy Month of Ramadan has just finished but the Summer Season is still in full swing. We are happy about the positive results and
cooperation by all members to our Ramadan Safety Awareness & Driving Safety. This time we are also continuously monitoring the ongoing full enforcement of our Heat Stress Prevention Program.
Situational awareness: Recent statistics r elated to our site obser vations r eveal that most of the accidents and injuries are happening due to the simple negligence of people involved. Below are some helpful
reminders to avoid these incidents:
1. Procedures are an integral part of our Safety and Operational management systems and shall be adhered to
at all times.
2. Utilize the fundamentals of the Hierarchy of Controls.
3. Always select the right tool for the job being performed.
4. Take the time to do your ‘JSA’ and ‘LMRA – Take 5’ properly.
5. Check for hidden/inherent hazards in your work area.
6. Avoid placing one’s self or others in the “Line of Fire”.
7. Carry your PPE with you at all times and wear the correct one for the task,
8. Don’t become complacent with your everyday tasks and activities, take the time to ensure you identified all hazards and are adequately
protected.
9. Your hands are the most valuable tools you own, so take care of them, every time! – Every day!
Remember – You always have the opportunity to make things better. If in doubt, STOP WORK
and seek clarification from your immediate Supervisor!
6 HSE DEPARTMENT Risk Factors for Heart Disease Family history - The risk is higher if any of your immediate relatives have had a heart
attack history.
Diabetes - People with diabetes have a higher risk of suffering CHD or stroke. It is a
metabolic disorder that results in insulin resistance. And insulin resistance is linked to a
lot of other factors like obesity, high cholesterol and hypertension which individually
contribute to increasing the risk of heart disease
Hypertension means increased blood pressure on the walls of the arteries. If not controlled properly, this increased pressure can cause thickening of the blood vessels. Thickened blood vessels along with high cholesterol levels can lead to hypertensive heart disease like coronary artery disease, heart failure and thickening of heart muscle.
High cholesterol - When the level of bad cholesterol (LDL) is high, cholesterol gets deposited on the walls of the arteries. This blocks
the arteries and restricts the blood flow resulting in heart disease. High triglyceride level: While considering the lifetime risk of heart
disease most heart disease guidelines do not take into account high levels of triglycerides. A ratio of triglycerides to good cholesterol
(HDL) should be considered to determine the overall risk of heart disease for an individual.
Smoking - If you smoke you’re twice as likely to suffer from heart disease than people who don’t smoke. It affects the levels of cholesterol and causes narrowing down of the blood vessels, therefore contributing to plaque deposition. It damages walls of the arteries, raises blood pressure and reduces Good cholesterol (HDL) levels. It also causes blood clots by aggregating platelets at the site of damage.
Stress - Chronic stress is a main cause of depression, a psychosocial factor known to contribute to heart disease. Stress results in hormonal imbalance that causes fluctuations in blood pressure. Stress is also responsible for forcing individuals to unhealthy practices like
smoking and alcoholism.
I
t is only with healthy eating habits and active lifestyle that you can manage the biggest risk factors of
heart disease mentioned above. So, exercise regularly, eat stay fit, quit smoking and drinking and
lead a stress-free life.
Heart disease, being a lifestyle related disorder, can be prevented well in time by making small corrections in daily life.

7 First Half Year report It has been a very busy Q1 and Q2 in 2014 as we have seen many challenging projects being either tendered and/or executed in the different
project teams we have in all our client accounts.
To summarize the highlights…….
RasGas Long Term EPCm Project Portfolio
In RasGas account, we have received since the
beginning of the year, 16 new Requests For Services (153-139) projects. Apart from the usual
Study- FEED-EPCm type of projects, the highlights during this period were the safe and successful execution of 3 emergency Shut Down
Projects. For LNG Train #5 shutdown, we supported RasGas in changing a Mixed Refrigerant
Compressor rotor in the very short time of 14
days.
PROJECTSGROUP
Mr John Mooren
Project Management Unit Manager
Moreover due to several incidents at LNG
Trains #1 and #2, we had to modify the pipeline
systems before these trains could be commissioned again. In all these 3 emergency projects,
our project teams consisting of staff members
from the project management, construction, procurement, contract administration, engineering,
QA/QC, HSE, project controls and HR&A departments worked shoulder to shoulder and in a
24/7 round-the-clock schedule, with our construction subcontractors and our client teams, to
deliver these projects with an excellent and
world class performance with no Lost Time Inci-
dents or Quality flaws.
The new RasGas Operation Project Manager Mr. Khalid commented: “Excellent Team Work, a job well done”.
Moreover the team is fully involved in bidding for the next LT EPCm contract, while the current contract is extended to the
1st of March 2015 with an option for further extension up to the 1st of March 2016 for the completion of a small number of
projects.
——————————————-RasGas Flow Assurance Project—————————————
This stand-alone Lump Sum EPC project has evolved from the Engineering and Procurement phase towards the construction
phase. The Engineering is nearing completion and the release of Approved For Construction drawings is ongoing.
Most of the project materials have been bought and are being shipped to site as the Temporary Site Facilities have been erected and staff are being mobilized to site.
After the Ramadan period almost the complete EPC team including the construction contractors and the client teams will be
based on site to deliver the project flawless, in time and within the budget and hopefully without a lost time incident as “goal
zero” is our target.
8 QATARGAS PORTFOLIO
In Qatargas, we bid the EPC LS Waste Water Recovery Project. Although we had high hopes to win this project, we lost it unfortunately
to the competition.
The strategic Option Engineering Services for Feasibility, Select, Define and Limited Execute Phases for QG2 & QG3&4 Flare Reduction Project, however, was awarded to us as well as the Vibration Assessment and Mitigation Program which is a new type of project in
brown field business. In this project our team member including Xodus vibration specialist work in client office to assess the integrity of
the piping system in all QG assets against vibration. We can go inside the client more deeply and develop a good relationship as a business partner through contribution to daily O&M work
OTHER ACCOUNTS (RLOC/Q-CHEM/QAFAC)
Highlight in this account is the Methanol Converter Revamp Project which has been executed in a plant shutdown. Our team together
with construction contractor (DESCON) and specialist subcontractor for the reactor internals modification (APB) did a great job.
The project was completed 2 days ahead of schedule with no quality flaws and zero Lost Time Incidents. This was a major achievement,
highly appreciated by our client, QAFAC .
WORK AND PLAY
Thursday, 8th May’14 evening, the project team members gathered to celebrate their team building party for the first time at Doha
Bowling Center.
The event started with the toast & a brief objective of the team building party. Mr. John Mooren, PMUM, shared the upcoming and
ongoing project details, followed by Mr. Shafir’s explanation with regard to safety tips and bowling rules.
The team members were divided into 12 groups, each group consisting of 5 Members each. It was a very tight game and everybody gave
their maximum effort to win the game. Finally Takeuchi san’s team won the game (team members included Takeuchi, Mariane, Mukkund, Santosh & Shihabudheen). Mr. Mukkund Mohan was selected as the best individual bowler of the game. Winners were awarded
with Lulu gift vouchers.
The event was full of fun and everybody shared their moments of joy with their counterparts, taking photographs, sharing their past experiences with their line managers, and enjoying the game experience. The one hour bowling game was followed with a dinner party.
This was a great experience for all the project team members as they got a chance to know each other which will certainly help in building a strong interrelationship and developing a strong bond among the employees.

Management Safety Walkthrough 10 A Success Story – QAFAC Methanol EPC Project By: Anup Purushottam Rajurkar The Methanol Converter Revamp Project was executed in a plant shutdown. Our team, together with construction contractor DESCON and specialist
subcontractor for the reactor internals modification APB, did a great job.
The project was completed two days ahead of schedule with no quality flaws and zero Lost Time Incidents. A major achievement which was highly appreciated by QAFAC the client.
The success has come through genuine team spirit. Every team member has participated, giving his best efforts to achieve PROJECT SUCCESS OBJECTIVES which were established at the beginning of the project.
 Zero Incidences
 Zero Quality Defects
 Zero Delays
Project success drives were identified and various collective efforts have been taken to achieve the same. Below mentioned are a few attributes out of
many.
 Long Lead Items were ordered in the record time of two weeks.
 Large bore Piping and Fitting were ordered as per schedule. This was a calculated risk as we were awaiting Licensor’s approved drawings.
 Large bore and heavy wall thickness piping work of various steel grades have been constructed during the scheduled shutdown window.
 Advance NDT techniques like PAUT & TOFD with multilayer verifications has been used in this project. This is perhaps first time in QATAR such NDT techniques were used in large scale.
 The existing five bed Isothermal Reactor internals ( 24 M high & 6 M Dia) have been replaced with Adiabatic Radial type plate heat exchanges & collectors. Special radial scaffoldings were designed and manufactured for this job.
 Various project management concepts like Value Engineering, Technical Integrity Checks, Risk Identification & Mitigation Plan, Schedule
Integrity, Planning and Control, SWOT Analysis, Why-Why & What Can Go Wrong – Brain Storming sessions, Interface & SYMOPS
Management, Team Building etc. have been exercised during the project cycle.

HEARTBLEED There was a recent case of information security called “Heartbleed Bug” last April 2014. This is a serious vulnerability in the popular OpenSSL cryptographic software library. This weakness allows stealing protected information when users are using internet applications such as web, e-mail, instant messaging and some virtual private
networks (VPNs). This means the thief can specifically exploit the open vulnerability to steal your email password, eavesdrop your internet communication or to impersonate services and users. Among famous service providers there are Yahoo and Facebook, but now they have fixed the vulnerability. After the service provider fixed
their system, there is one more thing to do; it is you the user that needs to change your password urgently.
PASSWORD (OR BETTER, PASSPHRASE) How to make a good passphrase………. There are at least 3 aspects for a good passphrase: length, complexity, and easy to remember (good passphrase is of no use
if you forget it, eh???
 Password length: make a password with minimum 8 characters length.
 Password complexity: include at least 3 types of the following groups, lowercase alphabet [a-z], uppercase al-
phabet [A-Z], numbers [0-9], special characters [!@#$%^&*()_+~`\’;:”|/.,<>?{}]
 Easy to remember: why not try to make a sentence? Like “Today is 40 centigrade HOT!”
By using a good combination of length and complexity, you can avoid a brute force attack from a cybercriminal;
this is an attempt to try all possible password combination.
Sample Length Complexity Max required time to brute force 123456 6 numbers 0.0000111 seconds password 8 lowercase alphabets 2.17 seconds Passw0rd 8 lowercase, uppercase, numbers 36.99 minutes P@ssw0rd 8 18.62 hours Password01 10 Lowercase, uppercase, numbers, special characters lowercase, uppercase, numbers Today is 40 centi‐
grade HOT! 28 lowercase, uppercase, numbers, special characters 76.43 billion trillion trillion centuries 3.25 months 12 Follow these principles to help protect your data and information….. Password Do’s Password Don’ts Do pick an easy to remember password Don’t write your password down Do change your password regularly (minimum once in 45 days) Don’t make obvious choices like your User ID, pet name, address, date of birth, spouse name or car model Do use lowercase, uppercase, numbers/special characters Don’t share your password with anyone Do form a phrase or sentence rather than meaningless word Don’t provide our password over e‐mail or instant messag‐
ing. The information can be seen while it’s traversing the internet. Don’t use easily guessed pattern like ‘qwerty’ or ‘!@#$%
^&’ or ‘vwxyz’ Do use a password that you can type quickly without hav‐
ing to look at your keyboard. This makes it harder for someone to watch what you type Do use a password with minimum 8 characters, the more character the better. Do create different passwords for different accounts and applications Do observe your surroundings when you are entering pass‐
word, avoid a situation in which someone can watch your password Don’t use numbers in place of letters like converting ‘Password’ into ‘Pa55w0rd’ Don’t use any default password like given by support team or in manual book Don’t use dates to create password (for example ‘July2014’) References: http://heartbleed.com OpenSSL: Open Secure Sockets Layer, an open‐source software library used for encryption (http://www.openssl.org) https://www.grc.com/haystack.htm http://www.securepasswords.net/site/Password‐Dos‐and‐Donts/page/25.html 13 From left to right: Oscar, Waqas, Riza, Jaymar, Pam, Azhar Chiyoda Almana ISMS Lead Auditor (IRCA Certified) By Mochamad Riza Achrullah In March 2014, Chiyoda Almana conducted an in-house ISMS (Information Security Management Systems) Lead Auditor Course. The
course was IRCA (International Register of Certificated Auditors) certified and was conducted on 16-19 March 2014, followed by a
written exam on 20 March 2014. The instructor was Waqas Awan of SGS. Thanks to our HR and Admin team for providing excellent
support for the arrangement of the course.
As a result, Chiyoda Almana now has ISMS lead auditors. There are 3 of them (in alphabetical order): Mochamad Riza Achrullah
(from IS&T Department), Pam Hartanto (from IS&T Department) and Oscar Puao Presnilla Jr. (from HR Department).
Starting from April 2014, internal ISMS audits have been conducted by a team consisting of one lead auditor and the others as audit
team members (including Azhar from IS&T and Jaymar from QA/QC who also attended the course). With this new ISMS Audit Team,
we expect to have more effective and objective audits in our organization.
14 Rasgas Shut Down Party—2014
Chiyoda Almana RG EPCm Team organized a shutdown party to celebrate successful completion of all shut down projects under RG
EPCm on the eve of Thursday, 15 May 2014 in the open yard of Al Khor Compound Villa.
Even though some activities related to the execution phase of the shutdown projects were unexpectedly extended, which made some of our
employees continue their night shifts, the available team members made the evening a remarkable one with team spirit, enthusiasm and
fun. The noteworthy presence of Messrs. John Mooren, Simeon Pagdanganan, Sureshkumar, Aladin Bautista, Takeuchi, Mansoor and
many Managers and guests from our sub-contractors, CCTJV and DESCON made a glitter to the event. A scintillating musical treat by our
Riyas and Naeem with participation of light and sound support by M/S. Doha Dynamic Sounds (DDS) was very much enjoyed by the audience, thanks to the sparkling guitar and vocal treat by our CCIC team mate Kabayan. A team of seven members under the leadership of our
Mahesh performed a traditional dance of Kerala (India) which was a visual treat for the audience comprising of multiple nationalities. Programs and felicitations gave way to a rich and varied buffet dinner when opened, with the stage still in run with music and dance.
Plaques, recognizing the outstanding support and performance during the execution of shutdown projects were awarded to senior representatives from CCTJV and DESCON, by Mr. John Mooren and Mr. Simeon Pagdanganan. Mr. Hariharan (Electrical supervisor) and Mr.
Askar Ali of Chiyoda Almana were selected and rewarded with ‘safe employee and safe driver awards’ respectively. Special gifts were
distributed off to as many as twenty three (23) plus attendees against a raffle draw conducted among the attendees from Chiyoda Almana.
Shut down souvenir (T-Shirt labeled with Chiyoda Almana logo) was distributed earlier to around 150 employees of Chiyoda Almana who
were actively or passively involved in the shutdown projects.
Earlier, during his welcome speech, Mr. Sureshkumar (RG Site Construction Manager) recollected the stressful moments from the longest
and most tedious shut down season in the history of Chiyoda Almana. It was a mix of planned and unplanned shutdown activities, within
and outside the scope of Chiyoda Almana, during the period from 28 March to 27 May 2014, with shutdown projects evolving one after the
other. Chiyoda Almana was challenged with scarcity of resources, tight and narrow schedules and lack of planning time. But with the dedication and ownership of our employees, coupled with the strong guidance from Management and proactive support from subcontractors,
Chiyoda Almana could come out with flying colors in the series of shut downs in this season. He dedicated the success to the crew of
Chiyoda Almana and subcontractors, who worked round the clock for the shutdown.
Mr. John Mooren, RGEPCm Project Director and Project Unit Manager, in his introductory words, praised Chiyoda Almana and subcontractor personnel for their extraordinary tenacity, persistence, safety, schedule and quality consciousness during the extraordinarily long
shut down activities. In Tr-1 & 2 DLN projects and two emergency shutdown projects (RFS148 & RFS 149), CCTJV had done an exemplarily job with a crew of 572 in its peak. The largest DLN project in the history of RasGas was successfully, safely and timely completed
by CCTJV, under the supervision of Chiyoda Almana. He gave all praises to CCTJV for their sudden response on the mobilization on the
emergency jobs (modification of 12” regeneration line after flange leakage and small fires). He mentioned the appreciation of Chiyoda
Almana and RasGas to DESCON for their prompt response on the emergency shutdown of the MR Compressor rotor replacement job. “In
all three LNG trains, the timely and safely completion of CEMS (Continuous Emission Monitoring System) projects, with a peak crew
strength of 462 members, with several interfaces with other contractors in the S/D’s and SIMOPS was due to good team work and well
understanding of the scope by the team. The scaffolding works on the stacks (both inside and outside) was really crucial for the success of
the projects. DESCON’s approach to accommodate changes during project delivery is noted with appreciation.”, according to Mr. John
