EPRI Recommended Work Practices

The BHI Energy Scaffold Management Program Was Specifically Designed To Enable Our CNPP Clients The Ability To Accomplish The Following Strategic Objectives:

Identifying logical and meaningful methods that can be implemented to significantly mitigate the number of craft personnel typically utilized during outages & reduce radiation exposure

Finding unique methods to better accomplish labor & dose intensive work activities by designing and fabricating custom scaffold packages that are utilized for temporary work activities

The ability to provide tailored custom seismic staging structures that can be fabricated in a timely and cost effective manner for quick & efficient installation in safety related areas

Support the utilities ability to address their long term program for on going dose reduction initiatives as required to comply with Collective Radiation Exposure (CRE) annual planning

Finding alternative methods for vertical access to reduce plant dependence on craft construction of scaffold structures that results in the installation of fewer staging structure

Utilized when providing clients with Deltak fabricated custom seismic packages that will be utilized in safety related areas

AQPP is modeled closely after the universally utilized ISO-9001 qualification program

Comprised of in-depth project traveler that contains over thirty concise signature steps for completion of key criteria

Includes the client approved engineering drawings along with the detailed fabrication drawings for field use by craft

Closely tracks raw material ordering and delivery process using formal purchase orders and vendor supplied MTR’s

Insure that craft workers are properly qualified and trained to perform their particular fabrication tasks

Fabrication traveler is used to track and validate that raw material parts are properly made & welded

Allows for on site client progress inspections anytime during the manufacturing process to authenticate contract compliance

Outside level three inspector is used to perform hands on inspection & validation of all seismic parts prior to shipment

Historical Myth Busters Regarding Excel Modular System Scaffold

The Craft Will Never Take Ownership and Use the Material

Material is currently being used at multiple sites with high success rate. Craft familiar with

Excel Scaffold who work at facilities that does not have Excel promote it’s ability to enhance

the scaffold program.

Can Only be Used in Open Areas, Will Not Fit in Tight Spaces

Excel has a variety of components that has been specifically designed to accommodate tight

areas (i.e. expanding plank bearers, cantilevers, trusts)

Cannot be Qualified For Use in Safety Related Areas

Excel Scaffold has been seismically qualified by Wyle Labs in New Mexico and meets all

criteria for safety related area use if constructed using guidelines of technical manual.

Just too Darn Expensive for Us to Use at Our Plant

Initial cost for rental is dramatically offset when lower labor cost are considered

Too Difficult to Install as Compared With T&C

Excel only requires leveling of initial level. Each successive level is already level due to pre-

manufactured design of increments of 5 ¾”. No hand tools are required for connection of

components and there are components that are specifically designed to reduce installation

time.

It is Not Compatible with Tube & Clamp

Excel tubing ID is the same as traditional T&C material. Excel has also specifically designed

connection / transition components that make it easy to convert from T&C to Excel and in

reverse.

Too Much Training Required for Implementation

Extremely User Friendly, Difficult To Put Up Wrong. Employees can be trained to erect,

modify, and remove Excel in less than 8 hours. Individuals are given training and with

guidance of the Excel technical manual, builders are able to construct scaffold which is

already engineered to meet most applications.

Requires Too Much Room for Storage

Excel scaffold components are engineered to be stored in racks which can be stacked. Each

of the racks consist of end units and supplemented by component being stored.

Unions Training Centers Will Not Support Training Process

There are already several unions that perform Excel Training. They have adopted the same

philosophies that exist in the CNNP environment (i.e. safety, fall protection anchorage

points, dropped objects prevention, and prevention of hand injuries). They recognize the

benefit in the use of Excel Scaffold in helping to meet these important requirements.

Too Hard To Decon and Free Release From RCA Areas

There are less small components with inaccessible surface areas to be surveyed. BHI Energy

has teamed with Unitech Services to provide decontamination services if the utility desires

support.
