This manual provides the reader with an accurate and convenient method for estimatig direct labor for general contrsuction work for any given system, plant, or location. Though this book, the reader has a reliable process of obtaining and streamlining an efficent model of operation.

This reference provides reliable piping estimating data including installation of pneumatic mechanical instrumentation used in monitoring various process systems. This new edition has been expanded and updated to include installation of pneumatic mechanical instrumentation, which is used in monitoring various process systems.

This manual's latest edition continues to be the best source available for making accurate, reliable man-hour estimates for electrical installation. This new edition is revised and expanded to include installation of electrical instrumentation, which is used in monitoring various process systems.

This new edition is expanded to include 26 new man-hour tables on compressors, dryers, dampers, filters, coolers, and heaters. This manual eliminates guesswork and enables you to produce fast, accurate equipment installation labor estimates.

The author has had wide experience in cost and labour estimating, having worked for some of the largest construction firms in the world. He has made and assembled numerous types of estimates including lump-sum, hard-priced, and scope, and has conducted many time and method studies in the field and in fabricating shops. John S. Page has received the Award of Merit from the American Association of Cost Engineers in recognition of outstanding service and cost engineering

Industrial Piping and Equipment Estimating Manual, Second Edition delivers a comprehensive overview of information that engineers, estimators, and managers need to develop estimates and create bids. Packed with worksheets covering combined and simple cycle power plants, refineries, compressor stations, ethanol, hydrogen and biomass plants, this reference helps construction engineers and estimators create bids where scope and quantity differences can be identified and project impacts estimated. This updated manual provides a comprehensive, accurate method for compiling piping and equipment man-hour estimates for industrial process plants—including Solar, Geothermal and Biomass Energy This comprehensive, current manual details scopes of work based on process and increased safety in field erection. Estimating methods and statistical applications reduce errors for estimators to produce accurate estimates, making it an ideal go-to reference for estimators, engineers and managers with a level of detail and equipment breakdown necessary for today’s complex industrial operations. Explains estimating methods, scopes of work, man-hour data tables, and estimate sheets to produce direct craft man-hour estimates, RFPs, and field change orders Includes scopes of work and man-hour data tables for any complexity of design, bid, and contract Identifies quantity differences using the comparison method to eliminate impacts between proposed and previously installed equipment Represents a broad mix of energy sources, including: Combined and Simple Cycle Power Plants, Refineries, Hydrogen Plants, Biomass, Ethanol, and Geothermal Power Plants, Compressor Stations, and Wastewater Treatment Plants
