​This Practice describes requirements for supplying, installing, and testing small capacity (<100 kip (450 kN) ultimate axial compressive capacity) helical piles and related items. Depending on load requirement and terminology, these may also be called helical anchors, screw piles or screw anchors. This Practice also describes design requirements if included in constructor’s scope. This Practice does not cover all International Building Code (IBC and ICC-ES-AC358) requirements or dynamic/seismic loading.​

​This Practice specifies methods to be used for monitoring, reporting, weighing, and managing of weight and center of gravity (COG) of onshore modules for process industry facilities. The purpose of this Practice is to convey an understanding of project weight management requirements pertaining to the weight/COG of all project assemblies and components, and to determine what level of monitoring and management should be implemented to ensure a successful execution strategy.​

​This Practice establishes the basic weight data and weighing requirements for supplier provided equipment, skids, and modules for process industry facilities. It defines the weight control documentation and procedures required for equipment supplier provided equipment to be installed permanently or temporarily at any stage of the construction, transportation, integration, installation, or operation of the module. It also defines the weight control documentation and procedures required for module fabricator supplier for bulks/equipment installed permanently or temporarily at any stage of the construction, transportation, integration, installation, or operation of the module. ​

​The PIP membership agreement provides Member Companies ownership of PIP Practices, including authorization to amend a practice for internal use to meet specific needs and preferences. This Practice provides guidance on amending adopted PIP Practices within the limits outlined in the membership agreement.​

​This Practice provides the detailed purchase descriptions for alloy steel check valve tag numbers included in PIP Piping Material Specifications (PMSs). This Practice also provides a cross reference for alloy steel check valve tag numbers to applicable PIP PMSs. Procurement of valves shall include the detailed purchase descriptions given in this Practice, along with the requirements in PIP PNSM0110 and the purchase order. ​

​This Practice provides guidance to incorporate Inherently Safer Design (ISD) principles throughout project and operation phases. It expands upon the original four elements developed by Trevor Kletz—Substitute, Minimize, Moderate/Attenuate, and Simplify— into 7 elements with the introduction of Eliminate and the recognition of Limit Effects and Error Tolerance. This Practice defines PIP ISD principles, illustrates the value of applying ISD principles throughout each project phase and into operations, and provides tools to incorporate ISD principles to reach desired corporate target values. The tools are organized by project phase and can be used throughout the facility lifecycle, such as in Safety, Operations, and Maintenance assessments. This Practice applies to all roles. All roles share leadership, accountability, and application of ISD principles. This shared responsibility spans the entire engineering and management team beyond the process safety engineer or manager. Each team member identifies, evaluates, and incorporates inherently safer design elements within their areas of expertise. Comprehensively applying the ISD principles across roles/functions/disciplines leads to a safer process.​​
