SpoolmaX is a system that monitors and tracks the progress of pipe-work construction from spool pre-fabrication through the stages of erection, hydro-testing and quality control documentation completion.

SpoolmaX requires minimal configuration, data entry and set-up due to information being made available from other MatriX applications. Data fed to this module also provides the fabrication team with quick and easy access to useful information, making their work more efficient; this data includes the delivery status of component items and basic pipe line data (such as the specified hydro-test pressure).

The system incorporates a Punch-list facility that enforces problem close-out by authorised personnel. The enquiries allow visibility of any problems for any Line, Hydro-test pack or Spool. It also provides an audit trail describing problems and resolution actions.

The system is intended for data recording by staff from the Fabrication/Erection or Quality Control departments. Data entries are restricted according to the user’s profile that will identify the relevant department. The reference data fed to SpoolmaX includes data gathered during engineering material take-off (using QuantimaX), material order and receipt data (from ProcuremaX and StockmaX) and planning prioritised material apportionment data (from ControlmaX).

SpoolmaX provides the facility to identify which Spools will make up a Hydro-test pack (HTP). The progress of hydro-testing is then monitored within the system. The system provides views of the data based on:
 

Each of the lists has an associated Selection page to allow the records appropriate to job requirements to be located easily and quickly. 

SPOOLS

Data can be maintained in the spread-sheet style, tabular format or via a single page view for each spool. As with all list displays, there is facility to Save to Excel. A wide range of analysis and reporting actions are then possible within Excel.

PUNCH LIST

When adding a punch-list item, a Spool must be entered and the system will generate the punch-list item number. Punch-list items can be added by staff from either Fabrication or QC. The fields to record closing of a punch-list item are restricted for maintenance only by QC staff.
