Procedure
1. Technical Assurance Team shall comprise of discipline specialists from design engineers.
2. The team will conduct the audit during FEED (refer to FEED Procedure E2C-TMP-001) and detail
engineering phases (refer to Detail Engineering Procedure E2C-TMP-002) when enough work has
been done to enable the audit but not too late for recommended actions to be implemented.
3. PE shall work with the client/contractor to decide proper time for the audits during feed or detail
engineering stages.
4. DE shall review the specifications with respect to the technical content, project specific equipment,
material specifications, and will identify the critical features of the design which are considered critical
due to application of highly specialize or new technology, technical complexity, or previous record as
a source of potential problems.
5. Each DE shall produce a checklist indicate the items to be covered by his discipline. This checklist is
meant to be used as basic guideline from which the relevant items will be selected.
6. The checklist from each discipline shall collectively comprise a formal Technical Assurance plan. This
plan shall be jointly reviewed and agreed upon by the PE.
7. Audit team should record all items appraised, in sufficient detail and provide their comments and
recommendations to the PE.
8. Audit team should present a summary of their findings and recommendations in the presentation
format to the PE for his comments and review.
9. Audit team should prepare draft report highlighting the deficiencies in the contractor work
deliverables. This report will also include the recommendations made by the DE in the form of a list
of actions necessary to overcome the mentioned deficiencies.
10. After jointly reviewing the draft report, the team will issue the final report highlighting the agreed
upon findings and recommendations to the PE for his follow up.
