1 Introduction
This Construction QA/QC Plan is the principal quality document for the construction
and pre-commissioning. It describes the Construction Quality requirements and the
resources and controls for its implementation. The Quality Management System for all
phases of the construction work shall be based on ISO 9001:2008, supplemented by
the project specific requirements.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
2 Scope
The Construction QA/QC Plan specifies the quality requirements for the construction
realization by Contractor.
The Construction QA/QC Plan includes:
Quality related activities as defined in the contract
Subjects of ISO 9001:2008
Quality related work carried out by Contractor and approved subcontractors as
defined in purchase orders and Sub-Contracts.
3 Purpose
The management system provided within LEIs (Linde Engineering India) web based
integrated management system called IMS process portal. Within IMS process portal
all site management procedures are controlled and available to access by all site staff.
IMS (Integrated management system) process portal is a certified ISO 9001:2008
integrated management system. Internal audits will also conduct as per LEI ( Linde
Engineering India) organization requirements.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The quality management system shall identify the processes needed to realize the
construction work. It shall define the sequence and interaction of these processes and
the criteria and methods needed to ensure the operation and control of these processes
is effective. The system will ensure the continued availability of resources and
information necessary to support the operation and monitoring of these processes. The
quality management system shall integrate these requirements, and shall aim at a
smooth, auditable construction implementation.
A Project specific Construction Quality Plan shall be prepared to address specific work
practices, procedures, and audit plan, allocation of resources, responsibilities and
authority for the phases of the work.
The Quality Plan shall be based on the guidelines within ISO 10005:1995. This plan shall
be maintained as a live document throughout the duration of the Construction. Based
on this detailed quality plans respective Inspection and Test Plans (ITP) shall be
developed.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The requirements for document control and traceability are in line with ISO 9001:2008
clause 4.2 and are applicable to all phases of the construction work.
The Site Manager will nominate a person to be responsible for document and data
control on construction site.
Construction documents as defined by this Construction QA/QC Plan shall be issued on
controlled distribution.
Controlled documents shall have a revision status.
The document control process shall ensure that any document changes will go through
the same review and issue procedure, by the same people, as the original document.
Copies of superseded documents shall be destroyed. Superseded masters shall be
marked Superseded .
The inspection and test plans shall be agreed with Company and documented prior to
the start of fabrication activities and shall be detailed enough to serve as a working
document to be used for quality control and monitoring purposes.
The Plan shall set out in matrix form the sequence of inspection steps, specific quality
control requirements, notification requirements for Company inspections,
responsibilities, applicable procedures, acceptance criteria, verifying documents,
review, witness, hold points . ITPs shall be prepared and approved before start of
work.
Adequately qualified Inspection personnel will be assigned.
Inspection forms referenced in the Inspection and Test Plan shall be completed
successively as work proceeds. The Inspection and Test Plan is to be used as a plan
only and acceptance signatures shall be obtained on the inspection reports. Signing off
and submission to Client/PMC (if required) shall follow directly after the work is
completed.
Company shall have the right to witness testing and inspection, if stipulated in the
contract. Advance notification for Client inspection shall then be provided .
Inspection and test records such as non-destructive test reports, heat treatment
charts, loop check records etc, shall be compiled as specified.
The inspection and test status of materials and work within the contract scope shall be
known and verifiable at all times.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Prior to start of construction work, a pre-inspection meeting shall always be held for
the various disciplines.
A pre-inspection meeting shall be held in order to:
Procedure, and inspection and test plans shall be agreed with Client before the
applicable construction Work commences.
Field inspections and tests in accordance with Procedure and inspection and test plans
agreed with Company shall be carried out to demonstrate compliance with the Project
requirements in order to:
prove that materials comply with the applicable Project Specifications and
Are suitable for the intended duties
comply with statutory requirements and to facilitate obtaining permits for the
Construction and operation of the Project.
ensure the use of correct materials as specified and to identify and demonstrate
Traceability of materials.
Materials shall be uniquely identified and inspected at appropriate stages to
ensure that they conform to requirements and have been installed in accordance
with drawings and specifications.
Company may witness these inspections and tests. In case of Hold and witness points
indicated on the inspection and test plans the or shall notify Company in time before
inspection and/or testing is due to commence.
Company shall be provided free and safe access to all parts of the Work at all times in
order to carry out inspections, as and when desired by Company.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Testing, measuring and calibration facilities, tools and equipment, including welder's
qualification test facilities shall be provided.
Monitoring and measuring devices shall be controlled. Test results shall be recorded
with calibrated devices in accordance with the requirements of section 7.6 of ISO
9001:2008.
Reports of inspection and tests shall be provided in accordance with the Project
Specification and statutory, insurance party requirements, where applicable..
Upon arrival at site welders shall have valid qualification certificates in accordance
with the applicable codes specified in the Project Specifications.
Test material and test facilities shall be provided to conduct welder skill tests at the
work site acc. contract specification.
Records of these tests are to be made available for review by Company.
The methodology of all non-destructive examination and the acceptance criteria shall
be in accordance with the applicable codes specified in the Project Specifications.
8.1 General
The Contractor shall apply suitable methods for measuring and monitoring of those
realization processes necessary to meet customer requirements. These methods shall
confirm the continuing ability of each process to satisfy its intended purpose.
The Contractor shall collect and analyze appropriate data to determine the suitability
and effectiveness of the quality management system and to identify improvements
that can be made. This includes data generated by measuring, monitoring and quality
surveillance activities and other relevant sources such as NDT results, welder
performance and non-conformances. The Contractor shall analyze this data to provide
information on:
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
