Design and Quality Control


Project Engineering & Machinery Management


1. Project Planning & Management

  • Compliance with industry standards (API, ASME, ANSI, ISO, OSHA, IEC, NFPA)
  • Project scope alignment with business and regulatory objectives
  • Risk assessment and HAZID/HAZOP studies
  • Project execution schedule (EPC phases: Engineering, Procurement, Construction)
  • Change management and impact assessments
  • Stakeholder engagement and communication (internal & external)
  • Cost control and financial audits


2. Engineering Design & Technical Compliance

  • Process flow diagrams (PFDs) and piping & instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) accuracy
  • Design compliance with API, ASME, IEC, and ISO standards
  • Material selection for high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) environments
  • Pipeline integrity and corrosion control strategies
  • Structural engineering compliance (offshore & onshore facilities)
  • Instrumentation and control system integration checks
  • Hazardous area classification and explosion-proof equipment review


3. Procurement & Vendor Management

  • Supplier qualification and approval process
  • Compliance of procured materials with project specifications
  • Traceability of critical equipment (valves, pumps, compressors, turbines)
  • Non-conformance reporting (NCR) and corrective action tracking
  • Inspection and testing of critical components before shipment
  • Logistics and transportation compliance (handling of hazardous materials)


4. Construction, Fabrication & Installation

  • Compliance with welding procedures (WPS, PQR) and welder qualifications
  • Adherence to non-destructive testing (NDT) procedures (X-ray, UT, MPI)
  • Pipeline installation checks (hydrostatic testing, pigging)
  • Offshore platform or refinery module integration audits
  • Proper foundation and structural load testing
  • Safety in lifting and heavy equipment operations


5. Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) Compliance

  • Alignment with OSHA, HSE, API RP 75, and local safety regulations
  • Implementation of Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) and Permit to Work (PTW) system
  • Fire protection and explosion mitigation (NFPA 30, API 2218 compliance)
  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) adequacy and compliance
  • Emergency response preparedness and drills
  • Environmental impact assessments (EIA) and mitigation strategies
  • Waste management and hazardous material handling


6. Quality Assurance & Quality Control (QA/QC)

  • Adherence to quality control plans (QCP) and Inspection Test Plans (ITP)
  • Documentation and traceability of welding, coatings, and NDT results
  • Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) for critical components
  • Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) and performance verification
  • Root cause analysis for deviations and corrective action plans
  • Compliance with ISO 9001 Quality Management System


7. Commissioning & Startup Readiness

  • System pre-commissioning checks (leak tests, flushing, purging)
  • Functionality verification of process control systems (DCS, SCADA, SIS)
  • Pressure testing of pipelines, vessels, and storage tanks
  • Calibration and testing of instruments and metering systems
  • Emergency shutdown system (ESD) and fire suppression system validation
  • Handover and punch list clearance procedures


8. Asset Integrity & Operational Readiness

  • Long-term pipeline and equipment integrity management plans
  • Compliance with API 570 (Piping Inspection), API 653 (Tank Inspection)
  • Vibration analysis and predictive maintenance strategies
  • Corrosion monitoring and cathodic protection effectiveness
  • Operator training and competency assessments
  • Preventive maintenance scheduling and CMMS integration
