Installation performance

The database provides project profiles that include site background information (e.g., site type, climate, and precipitation), project information (e.g., purpose, scale, and status), cover information (e.g., design, vegetation, and installation), performance and cost information, points of contact, and references. Table 25.5 provides a summary of key information from the database for 34 recent projects with monolithic ET or capillary barrier ET covers.15... 

Immunoassays developed along the recommendations provided above should perform consistently and generate reliable data over time. However, occasional failures happen variations in laboratory environmental conditions, reagent quality, operator skill, and instalment performance, for example, make systematic troubleshooting skills invaluable in discerning the cause for assay failures. 

It is quite possible that any analysis required to be carried out on an aging pipeline, in order to demonstrate fitness for purpose, will suffer from a lack of data. This point is supported by the work of Stacy et al. (2008). Clear parallels can be drawn between the assessments undertaken for both offshore structures and subsea pipelines, and the paper does conclude, Data on the original design criteria, material properties, fabrication quality and installation performance are also required but may not be necessarily available. In this context, the overall assessment model will need to be able to account for this lack of knowledge. 

Table 4.30 outlines six steps, recommended for implementing an incineration system project. Each is considered equally important towards minimizing or eliminating the deficien-cies discussed above and for increasing the likelihood of obtaining a successful installation. Performance difficulties on most problem incineration systems can usually be traced to a disregard or lack of attention to details in the first two steps namely (1) evaluations and... 

Installation Was the barrier installed properly Was it installed (or worn or used) in accordance with the design or with manufacturer s specifications Was it installed in the correct location and position Were installation procedures provided Were they followed Was the installation performed by qualified personnel ... 

Vehicle manufacturers often provide prospective component suppliers with a drawing of the item required. In some cases a preferred supplier will be given an overall space and asked to produce a component that will fulfil the customer s requirements for installed performance and service life. Together with the drawing are details of... 

Equipment Qualification (sometimes referred to as equipment validation) Documented verification that equipment is properly installed, performs as specified throughout operating ranges, and rehably executes desired functions. 

A common practice is to subject a geosynthetic product to a required test while it is in contact with the particular soil or granular material in which it is to be installed. Such tests are termed performance tests and are used to obtain a direct assessment of the geosynthetic properties under simulated geotechnical conditions of a site specific installation. Performance tests are not normally used in specifications rather, a geosynthetic should be... 

The role of superinsulation as niche products in the insulation business and their particular importance for space-saving applications has been presented previously. A lower thermal conductivity means that the same insulation performance is achieved with a thinner insulation layer or that the same thickness of superinsulation is used to ensure far better insulation performance. This advantage is contrasted by a significantly higher cost per installed performance as shown below. This assessment is based on data from 2009.

The next figure shows a reliability block diagram for a single loop function in the plant that shuts down the operation if the conditions become hazardous. The reliability data used is arbitrary but may be realistic for installed performance as opposed to manufacturers product data. 

The titration curve is the essential tool for determining the nonlinearity, sensitivity, and rangeability requirements that are important for every step from project definition through sustaining installed performance. It determines the investment required, the design details, and the expected efficiency, operability, and maintainability. Without a titration curve, you are flying blind [Ref. 1.1 and 1.2].
