1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this Project Quality Management Plan (PQMP) is to confirm the following:
2. SCOPE
The scope of this Quality Management Plan includes all quality related functions and activities
for the project management, design, engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction and
commissioning of the TPL25 Fire Upgrade Project for the 24 sites considered by the project.
2.1. Background
Transnet Pipelines owns, maintains and operates a network of high-pressure petroleum and
gas pipelines across 5 Provinces. These receive fuel from the two refineries in Durban, the
crude refinery at Coalbrook (Natref) and the Synfuel plants at Secunda (Sasol II and III).
There are numerous intake stations, pump stations and delivery depots within the network
distributed across KwaZulu-Natal, Free State, Gauteng, North West and Mpumalanga.
TPL have undertaken to upgrade the fire protection systems on a number of existing pump
stations and depots to ensure the functionality and quality of the fire protection is in line with
companys objectives.
The project includes 24 sites and is being managed by TPL with WSP as the appointed fire
specialist during FEL3 and SiVEST having completed the design of the system for this phase.
The project has been approved for FEL4 and is to be executed with a procurement strategy
which sees the full scope of work for each site being tendered separately such that each site
will have a main contractor who is responsible for all procurement and construction as well as
some elements of design.
The scope includes the construction of a full fire protection on each site including the water
tanks, pump house building, diesel fire pumps, foam storage and induction, control and alarm
systems with extensive detection and the piping network with deluge valves and various end
of line equipment.
The Quality Management Plan is applicable to the processes completed by the Contractor in
the implementation of the project.
This plan describes Quality Assurance and Quality Control functions and activities to be
implemented and includes or refers to established Quality Control plans, procedures and
standard forms.

Normally, a number of related documents are reviewed at the same time. Any document
could be reviewed more than once due to design responsibility or development, scope
change, change in execution strategy or the specific aspect being reviewed. Generally, a
document is reviewed prior to the initial official issue and/or at designated levels of
completion. Documents cannot be officially issued until the review has been completed
and approved (where applicable).
5.4.7. Quality Review Participants
The objective is to perform an independent review of a document by competent or
specialist not directly involved in the aspect being reviewed. Therefore participants in
quality reviews will be selected based on the document and the specific aspects of the
document being reviewed.
Potential participants include:
TPL Snr Project Manager
TPL/BP Project Manager
SiVEST Discipline Engineers/Leads
Responsible Engineers
Technical Specialists
Site Manager
Commissioning Manager (If Applicable)
Client Representatives
5.5.1. Records
Identifiable and retrievable records will be maintained to furnish evidence of activities
affecting quality.
5.5.2. Overview
Quality management during project definition, preliminary and basic engineering phases
will be similar to quality management during the detailed engineering phase. All formal
drawing reviews will be documented.
Detailed design consists of producing the documents and drawings that will be used to
build the plant. The information that will be used as the basis of the documents will come
from the design Basis for Detail Engineering.
The design criteria present project-specific standards to be used in the design process.
The standards can be applicable to TPL Standards, national, industry and internal
standards or statutory laws. In effect, the design criteria describe how the project's end
product will be designed.
A multi-discipline basis of design also is prepared, which documents design decisions and
describes what is being designed.
The design criteria and the basis of design are key inputs to the design process. Based
on these documents, each discipline initially produces:
Concept drawings
Standard specifications (specifications applicable to a number of pre-purchased
equipment packages)
Equipment specifications (specifications applicable to only one pre-purchased
equipment package)
Reports (documenting the results of design studies and the evaluation of design
alternatives)
Generally, the drawings, standards, specifications and reports are verified for consistency
and conformance with the design criteria, basis of design and other
drawings/standards/specifications/reports before being issued to the Client for comment
or approval. In addition, equipment specifications are verified for conformance with
applicable general specifications.
Site Engineers will have the same responsibilities for the review of all contract drawings
covering their applicable area only.
5.5.9. Review of Technical Specifications
Prior to being issued for tender, the SiVEST Project Manager is responsible to review all
technical specifications and other engineering documents for consistency and to ensure:
The technical document complies with the overall project scope and objective
Related drawings and other documents are included
Client specific requirements are included
Completeness and clarity of the document
Field Engineering Queries (FEQ) - the engineering process used for construction
change and work authorize the contractor in performing work differently to what has
been specified or delivered as per the contractual agreement
Forecasting of project trends and effects
The recommendation/deviation and approval of preventative and corrective actions
The updating of Project Management Plans, Procedures and Scope statements
Approval of recommended defect repairs and the validation of defect repairs, etc.
In order to implement change the Project Manager will enlist a team that is responsible
for, and capable of making that change happen and ensures that the change is aligned
with the Client scope change policy and must be substantiated as a value add. It is
important that this team follows the following practical guidelines with regards to Change
Management:
Carefully review the contract documents at the onset of the project to determine the
changes procedures and to identify those authorized to make changes.
Caution your project management team members against reliance on changes
(additions, deletions or substitutions) made informally or through the shop drawing
process.
Periodically review your cost control procedures to see that they are adequately
identifying and segregating extra costs.
Outline any procedural steps and contract time limitations, which may affect your
entitlement to be paid for changed work, and make sure that your project
management team has that information and operates in a manner consistent with
preserving your entitlement to be paid for changes.
Change management of SiVEST will be dealt with in terms of the NEC3 PSC Contract. In
general no scope or design changes are to be actioned until approved in writing at the
appropriate level.
Once a change or potential change has been identified, a decision will be taken by the
TPL Project Manager as to whether work in the area concerned is to be stopped, or
continued on the previously agreed scope until such time as the change is approved.
5.6.1. Overview
The overall approach to quality management for the procurement of goods and services
consists of:
Selecting competent Suppliers/contractors in conjunction with the Employer
Ensuring Procurement have a plan for controlling work processes and activities
Monitoring compliance with the Procurement plan
In summary, the Suppliers will be responsible for the quality of their work while the project
team will be responsible for verifying that the Suppliers/Contractors are fulfilling their
responsibilities.
Quality management as it relates to the process of procuring goods and services consists
of:
Defining quantitative bid evaluation criteria for use on all equipment purchase
packages (bid analysis, evaluation, and recommendation) have been done
Ensuring that all of the technical and commercial requirements are adequately defined
in the bid documents
Verify selecting Suppliers that best meet the evaluation criteria
Verifying that each Supplier is in conformance with their Quality Plan and Quality
Control Plan as defined in the purchase order/contract
Verifying the performance of each Supplier against the Works Information
Specification and Quality Plan during the delivery of the goods or services as called
for in the purchase order / contract
In their quotation, all bidders will be required to describe their quality management
system and the quality management system used by their sub-suppliers / subcontractors.
In addition, they will provide a copy of their corporate quality manual.
Prior to purchase order/contract award, the Suppliers will submit for review a quality
management plan (including an inspection and testing plan) for the specific scope of work.
The purchase order will be awarded once the quality plan has been finalized. Then the
project team can start performing the necessary reviews, inspections or audits required
to assure that the Supplier is in conformance with the plan and that the work conforms
to the requirements of the purchase order/contract documents.
Responsibility for managing Supplier Quality is shared by all the project team. Engineering
is responsible for defining the specific quality requirements applicable to pre-purchased
equipment packages and for determining the technical acceptability of bidders. The
Project Manager provides an input into the commercial recommendation of bidders related
to Quality and inspection/surveillance of Suppliers, as required, the overall responsibility
however lies with the Responsible Engineer.
The Quality Surveillance Program will commence upon award of Engineering, Purchase
Order and/or Contract and will include but not limited to the following activities:
Evaluating Suppliers' and Vendors' Quality Assurance and Quality Control Programs
Monitor the Preparation of Suppliers' and Vendors' Quality Control Plans (QCP's)
Monitor Preparation of by Suppliers' and Vendors' Manufacturers Data Reports (MDRs)
Monitor and review material certification, traceability and documentation by Suppliers
and Vendors
Technical review and acceptance of design documents (If applicable)
Supplier and Vendor Quality Surveillance
Review and acceptance of QCPs
Review and acceptance of MDRs
Internal Audit Program and audit check lists of Supplier and Vendor Quality Assurance
and Control Programs
Supplier and Vendor Audit Program and audit check lists
Non-conformance Applications, which are in effect changes to Specification
requirements
Technical Queries initiated for technical review and resolution by the
Company/Engineering Representative
Direct Material Substitution Requests by Suppliers and Vendors
Data Books
Package / Vendor Change Management
Prior to start-up of fabrication of any equipment a Kick-Off Meeting shall be held with the
suppliers. The purpose is to ensure that quality requirements and standards as stipulated
in the Purchase Order are understood by the Supplier.
The level of Quality Surveillance and the extent of Quality Control Plans/Inspection and
Test Plans will generally relate to the Quality Assurance levels as indicated above.
5.6.5. Construction
Quality Control Plans must be prepared by all Vendors for Construction Quality Control at
the Project site. They will be managed and overseen by the Site Manager, and typically
include but not limited the following activities:
Civil works, (Excavation, Backfill/Compaction and Concrete)
Steelwork (Structural and Miscellaneous)
Welding and NDT
Testing for Mechanical Completion
Building and associated works
Pavement Construction
Bulk Services Infrastructure
Electrical Works
Quality Management Plans describe the detailed activities that will be carried out to
verify that all services, material, equipment, and installations meet the Project
Specifications. Where surveillance or witness inspection by the project team is required,
only appropriately qualified and experienced inspection staff will be used to carry out
these inspection activities.
The level of inspection surveillance to be carried out by the project team will be
appropriate to the type, criticality and complexity of construction or equipment being
installed, and the degree of confidence in the Vendor, based on an assessment of their
Quality Plan and Procedures, personnel, facilities, demonstrated performance, and audit
findings.
The Site Manager and the Designer will issue Final Release Certificates after all required
inspection, test activities and MDR documentation required by the Contract, have been
satisfactorily completed.
Non-Conformance Reports will be treated with the highest priority until the details are
established submitted to Company for comment and or approval and corrective action
implemented to resolve the problem.
Quality Control records will be maintained as follows:
Non-Conformance Reports (NCR)
Concession Requests
Concession Register
Non-Conformance Report Register
Request For Information
Direct Material Substitution Requests (DMSR)
FEQ Requests
FEQ Register
"As-Built" Drawings
Contract Inspection Records, including all related documents
5.6.6. Quality Risk
Quality risks are typically identified by analysing NCR's, Concessions, QIR's, Inspection
and Assessment Results and Internal or External Complaints originating from the Client
as well as the consultant/Contractor. As the aforementioned are analysed, they should be
reported and be incorporated into the Project Risk Register
The parties will evaluate the potential for adverse impact on the project. The NCR's will
be regularly reviewed at Suppliers/Vendors premises as part of the Quality Surveillance
and Audit Programs, to verify effective control and close out.
The Concession Requests shall clearly identify all elements of the proposed concession
together with any resulting technical, commercial and/or schedule impact or any benefits
in cost saving to the project and the Client which does not have a negative effect to the
project and to the design life.
The Completed original approved concession shall be updated in the concession register
and included in the Vendor's Data Pack.
5.7. Deliverables
Deliverables will be identified when the contract is formalized but are typically those
referenced in the attached Project Quality Plan (Annexure 1).
