1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Scope

This procedure describes the system and organisation to be adopted for contracts
which have a design element as part of the workscope.

1.2 Objective

To obtain a standard method for the control of design activities, organisation and
responsibilities.

1.3 Definitions

None

1.4 Responsibility

The senior CAD Draughtsman is responsible for updating this procedure. The
overall responsibility for Design activities will be the Senior Project Engineer or
Project Manager.

2.0 DESCRIPTION

2.1 General

The following procedure has been developed to ensure that Seaway (UK)
produce, through standard methods a design to meet the customers' specification.

In general this procedure will not apply to detail design work associated with a
call-off contract, i.e. small scale modifications.

AB0000.PC.28.002 Rev. 2 Page 2 of 8

2.2 Design and Development Planning

A Quality Assurance Plan shall be produced for all Design and Development
contracts which shall display the organisation, interface with other departments,
job descriptions and quality control activities to be used to verify the produced
documents throughout all phases of the contract.

2.2.1 Activity Assignment

Design and verification activities shall be planned and assigned to qualified

personnel equiped with adequate resources.

2.3 Design Review

This will commence after award of contract on receipt of client technical

specifications, data etc.

2.3.1 Objective

The objectives of a design review is as follows:

(i) To identify and create an awareness of technical features of the job

which are unusual by reason of:

- Ambiguous specifications
- Novelty
- Complexity
- Lack of relevant experience within the Company
- Absence of relevant Engineering Standards or Procedures
- Lesser known codes, standard and statutory regulations.

To ensure that the appropriate technical resources are made available to the
project, and that the responsibility for resolving technical problems is allocated
to suitably qualified and experienced individuals.

Note: The Design Review is intended to cover principally technical items i.e.
arising from the nature of the process itself, materials selections, the
equipment or the environment. Other matters that may affect
engineering such as project administration, contractual or execution
requirements shall, if necessary be the subject of a separate review.

AB0000.PC.28.002 Rev. 2 Page 3 of 8

 (ii) To identify those areas where the supplied specifications and data are
not adequate to determine a definitive design and development
workscope.

2.3.2 Follow up Review

There may be a requirement to follow up the kick-off design review meeting at

a time when certain key documents have been produced e.g.:-

- Equipment List
- Preliminary Plot Plan
- Comment issue of Process & Instrument Diagrams
- Process Specifications for major equipment
- Approved list of codes, standards and specifications
- Project Safety Policy

2.3.3 Final Review

There shall be a final design review meeting where as well as assessing the
overall design output versus input the following information should be
sufficiently comprehensive and clear:

- Material take-off
- Purchasing
- Specialist Plant/Equipment
- Manufacture/Fabrication
- Inspection
- Assembly
- Installation
- Test
- Operations
- Maintenance

An "aide memoire" to items to be considered during a final design review has

been included in Appendix 1.

Action lists, Minutes of Meetings or Quality Control Plans may be produced as

evidence that a formal design review has taken place.

The criteria for all design review meetings shall be; is what we are producing
what the client has specified?

AB0000.PC.28.002 Rev. 2 Page 4 of 8

2.4 Design Verification

All phases of a Design and Development contract will be subjected to discipline

internal checking and interdiscipline checking.

2.4.1 Checking of Drawings and Documents

All drawings and documents produced shall be checked. Check activities may
include:-

- Design Review (See Section 2)

- Originator Check
- Discipline Internal Check
- Interdisciplinary Check

2.4.2 Self Check

A self check shall be performed by the design documentoriginator who shall sign
the documents as evidence of the performance of the check.

2.4.3 Discipline Internal Check

This check follows the self check and is performed by an engineer of the same
discipline. If a project team does not warrant two of the same discipline
engineers, the Project Manager or Senior Engineer shall assume responsibility for
this check.
This check may, where specified, include alternative calculations.

The design package documents check copy shall be signed as "checked" by the
checker.

2.4.4 Interdiscipline check

Where design documents have been noted in the drawing register as requiring
Interdiscipline Check this shall be performed by routing the document through
the other disciplines. A routing list (Appendix 2) shall be attached to the check
document. The document originator shall expedite it through the system.

Note: When documents have been requested by Client or Subcontractors for

comments prior to issue, these shall be despatched under a Transmittal
with the "required back by date" clearly annotated.

AB0000.PC.28.002 Rev. 2 Page 5 of 8

 All documents used for Quality Control Checks shall be retained with the original
document either by the Project Engineer or the Document Controller.

2.4.5 Review of Drawings and Documents

The requirements for the review of drawings and documents shall be assessed
during the planning phase of the work. All drawings and documents shall be
listed in the Project Document Register (Appendix 3) and the Project Engineer
or his authorised delegate shall define which of the drawings and documents
require Inter Discipline Checking. The list of drawings and documents may be
drawn from the following:-

- Engineering Document Register

- Engineering Document Lists from other contractors
- Engineering Document Lists from sub-contractors and vendors.

In addition, the client may also wish to review the project document register to
select documents that shall require checking by departments and disciplines
within the client's organisation.

Such external reviews may include the following:

- Client Review
- Interface Review towards other contractors
- Interface Review towards sub-contractors and vendors.

The drawings and documents selected for Client Review shall be identified in the
Document Register. The interface documents shall be identified in co-operation
with Seaway (UK), contractors and any sub-contractors or vendors involved.

AB0000.PC.28.002 Rev. 2 Page 6 of 8

 Client Review and Interface Review of drawings and documents issued by
Seaway (UK) shall be completed and feed back received by Seaway (UK) within
a period which shall be specified at the time of contract award. If the response
is not received within the specified period, that document may be issued for
construction.

The Project Engineer shall be responsible for all review drawings and documents.
This includes:-

- Follow up issue dates

- Follow up response dates.

The Project Engineer shall instruct the Document Controller of the specific project
requirement.

2.5 Design Changes

Each document, drawing, specification issued after contract award shall be

analysed by the Manager/Project Engineer, and where the change constitutes a
change to the original scope of work, this will follow the same routine as taken
for original document submission.

A variation proposal shall be raised irrespective of whether there is a cost or

schedule effect.
