(4) General

1 WPS, PQR, QC plan; ITP, Procedures etc. shall be prepared and get approval from the
client prior to the start of work.

2 Welders shall be qualified as per the approved procedures and WPS.

3 All the materials received from the client shall be properly inspected and if any defects
are observed, these shall be reported to the client immediately.

4 All welding electrodes and filler materials supplied shall be in accordance with WPS
requirement.

(5) Work Procedure

6) Daily fit-up report shall be reported by the fabrication – in- charge and forward to planning
department.

7) QC inspector shall be responsible for reporting the welding progress and ensuring that full
field tractability is maintained throughout the project.

8) QC inspector shall be responsible for assuring the proper quality control methods are
applied while fabrication and erection and confirms with the specification and standards.

b) Material

1) Materials allocated for fabrication shall be shifted to storage area near the fabrication shop.

2) Materials shall be stacked and stored properly with ends covered for piping and flange face
protected by suitable means.

3) Fabrication and erecting crew shall again shift the materials to the required area for further
work.

c) Fabrication and Erection

1) Pipes shall be marked to the required size. Cutting shall be done with suitable methods (gas
cutting, plasma cutting, cutting wheel)

2) End preparation and fit-up shall be done as per the approved QC plan and specification

3) Care shall be taken to make sure that longitudinal seams on the joining pipes shall not
come in one line in a butt joint. Seams shall be staggered at least 30 0 apart and also shall
clear the branch connection and supports.

4) All the fit –up shall be inspected by QC inspector and shall be cleared for welding for
all high pressure lines.

5) Joint number, Welder number and date of welding shall be marked near to the joint with a
metal marker

8) Spool number shall be marked with paint marker on every spool.

11) NDT cleared spool shall be shifted to painting yard

10) NDT rejected spool shall be identified and repair shall be done immediately.

12) An excess length of 50 to 100mm shall be kept on the pipes for site adjustment.

13) Stainless steel fabrication shall done at an isolated area from carbon steel

14) All the tools and tackles used for SS fabrication shall be meant for that.

15) All the pipes shall be supported properly during erection.

16) Hydro testing/leak testing/pneumatic testing shall be carried as per the project specification
and shall be reported.

17) After the complete erection and welding of piping, supporting, a punch list (A, B, C) shall be
made for the remaining activities. The entire (A) punch list made by QC, client etc, shall be
cleared prior to testing.

18) The piping items, which are removed for testing, shall be reinstalled after the successful
testing.

19) All the B,C punch lists shall be cleared prior to the commissioning of the piping systems.
