Project Quality Assurance and Control

1.1. Quality Management
Quality management is an act of overseeing all the activities and tasks require to maintain a
desired level of excellence. This includes the determination of quality policy & objectives, creating
and implementing quality plans, control and assurance, followed by continual improvement of the
system using the tool non-conformance derived from periodical system audits.

1.2. Quality Deliverables

The Key documents which drives the safety, quality control as well as quality assurance process of
the CPR project which need to submit by DBBC & QSGTL technical authorities of concern
departments shall approve and issue back to DBBC for implementation. (Documents like)

1) HSSE procedures and documents

2) Welding procedure specification & Procedure qualification records.
3) Inspection test plans (Mechanical /civil/instrumentation / electrical etc)
4) NDT procedures (Conventional NDTs like PT, MPT, UT, RT, HT, FT etc along with
Advanced NDTs like PAUT and TOFD).
5) Welders Qualification Test and Certification.
6) Standard operation procedures for Torqueing and tensioning.
7) Documents& IFC drawing control methodology and control tracker.
8) DBBC Project quality plan.

1.3. Flawless Project Delivery

Flawless QA Concept: A Flawless Concept is one which is prepared and executed with a
minimum occurrence of incidents of, which have negative impact on safety, quality, and
schedule. These incidents are known as flaws, which must either be eliminated or mitigated
from occurring. Therefore, all project works must be performed in such a manner to achieve a
flawless outcome, i.e.
 The plant/system starts up “on time” and “right first time‟ without any flaws causing
delays during Shutdown/OTR
 Project completion shall be achieved as scheduled. The plant/system runs without any
interruptions until the next planned maintenance
To achieve a flawless quality in CPR Project the below mention Q areas activities shall be planned,
controlled & documented in a disciplined and consistent manner by personnel trained in the specific
field of expertise.
1) Design & engineering
2) Lifting and rigging activities.
3) Sim-ops and Permit system.
4) Material Procurement & WH.
5) HSSE
6) Fabrication
7) Transporting of Equipment’s.
8) Integrity & Quality Assurance.
9) Civil, painting & insulation.
10) Electrical and instrumentation.
11) Standardization of lessons learned for Replicated projects

1.4. Supplier Quality Management

All suppliers are required to prepare Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs) covering their scope of supply and
to provide objective evidence thereafter that their plan is implemented and that their system is functioning
effectively.
Contractors will be required to report all instances of deviation from specification and non-conformance
for review by Shell. The project team will maintain surveillance of key contractor and supplier activities
throughout the life of the project as per the relevant test plans.

1.5 Information Management

All the documents and procedures related to the project shall be originated, approved and
issued in a control manner. To maintain the traceability of the documents it shall be delegated
with a unique numbering system and proper document tracker shall be followed. Periodical
review and auditing of the system is required to identify the major and minor deviations and its
corrective actions to be implemented properly.
Documents are classified in to internal origin and external origin. Projects comprises of the both
categories of documents which shall be controlled by dedicated focal points to check its
technical viability before the issue for implementation.
A share point is maintained with dedicated folders contains all the project data’s like control
drawings / approved procedures / HSSE documents / Meeting MoM / Quality related
documents /Procurement items etc. (periodical checks/review to be done to check the data
reliability)
