MEP PLANNING MANUAL, PREFACE OF THE FIR: EDITION Now a day in fast track jobs it’s very important to prepare the detailed and realistic program to achieve the project completion date. As we are aware that MEP acti ies are very important for successful timely completion of project. We have experienced in our practical life that most of the projects are delayed because of delay in material delivery, installation, testing & commissioning of ‘major MEP activities. ‘This Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) Planning Manual, has been prepared to highlight all MEP related detailed activities for a typical multistoried tower and villa, In this edition the ‘major concern is to identify the major fields and sequence of activities required to be implemented in order to render the completion of various services to successful operation. ‘This manual is divided into two parts i.e, Part-1 + MEP Activity Details Part-II + MEP Method Statement ‘The main purpose of this MEP Planning Manual is to prepare a program of works with detailed acti 's for all MEP works integrated with thin the main civil program. ‘This manual has been prepared by HEE MEP Planning Engineer Mr. Gulshan Kumar, reviewed by HEE Planning Manager Mr. Jafar M. Khair. ‘This manual will be review periodically as required for adjustment and enhancement,sara SECTION 1d 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1.10 SECTION 2 21 2.2 23 24 SECTION 3 31 32 33 34 SECTION 4 4d 42 43 44 45 SECTION 5 Sd SECTION 6 61 Table of Contents Part-I Activity Details MEP CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES LIST...
