CODE TO BE USED

[ianmontes]

Dear Gents,

We are constructing a coal-fired power plant, I was assigned for the coal silo/bunker fabrication area and i noticed that
the Vendor Drawings for construction did not specify on what code should be used.

Should this be under AWS D1.1?

Need your advise.


Thank you

ianmontes,

Despite my own opinion regarding which code to use, your organization needs to identify the relevant fabrication code(s); This is a significant matter, and not a decision you should be making. In any case, consult your engineering group, as this needs to be clearly identified on the drawing and other relevant documents.

For fabrication, unless specified otherwise, yes.

D1.1 was used on all five of the new coal fired power plant, coal silos that I have been involved with.

Thank you very much for your suggestions.
