1 Description of the works
1.1 Executive Overview
Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) made a decision to decommission the Port of Port Elizabeth
due to space restrictions, not limited to its close proximity to the residential areas. The existing liquid
Berth B100 at the Port of Ngqura was identified as a new facility to cater for some of the operations from
Port of Port Elizabeth. TNPA requires the supply and installation of a firefighting and protection system
to support the development of a new liquid bulk facility at the Port of Ngqura so that the existing facility
at the Port of Port Elizabeth can be decommissioned. The works that the Contractor is to perform
involves the design (where application), supply, installation and commissioning of the firefighting
protection systems associated with a complete new firefighting system for the berth B100. The Employer
is Transnet Capital Projects (TCP) and the Owner of the works is Transnet National Ports Authority
(TNPA). Further descriptions of the Site are included under Part C4: Site Information.
Figure 1 : Overview of the entire site development for the Fire Protection System
Fire water for the bulk liquids berth B100 will be supplied by two sea water vertical turbine fire pumps.
The pumps will be diesel engine driven and the pump installation shall comply with NFPA 20.
The fire water main will be kept full and pressurised by municipal water supplied to the site. A backflow
preventer will ensure that no sea water is pumped into the municipal system.
Two large monitors mounted on ten meter high towers will provide the main firefighting capability to
protect the marine load arms and manifold area on any ship that is berthed. Supplementary firefighting
capability will be in the form of hydrants, hoses, portable monitors and foam equipment and portable
extinguishers. In additions to the supplementary firefighting capability above, booster connections will
be provided for the fire department to pump into the fire water main from either fire trucks or firefighting
boats.
A hydrocarbon gas detection system to be installed will enable the early detection and prevention of
fires. Fire alarms located on the Berth and in the control room will enable personnel to remotely start
the fire pumps in the event of a fire. The fire pumps, foam induction system and foam monitors will be
remotely controllable from the control room.

3.1 Particular Construction Constraints
3.1.1 Risks
The Contractor will be required to provide method statements, risk assessments, job safety analyses and
the like, which shall specifically include measures to mitigate risks at identified high-risk locations.
Particular risks that have already been identified at such locations are outlined below.
i. Camps and Laydown Areas
a. Shipment, loading and off-loading.
b. Rigging plans for installation of heavy goods.
ii. Earthworks
a. Dealing with dust and water.
iii. Relocation and Protection of Services and Infrastructure
a. It is not foreseen that any existing services and/or infrastructure have to be relocated, however
if required, Risk assessments, method statements and procedures must be compiled and
approved by the Employer for these works, including in particular the tie-in of the existing and
relocated sections of these services.
b. Measures for the protection of any existing or new services and/or infrastructure shall also be
documented. Risk assessments, method statements and procedures shall be approved by the
Employer prior to commencement of works near such services and/or infrastructure.
The above lists do not constitute a comprehensive schedule of such risks but are intended only as an
initial guideline to the Contractor.
I. The foam monitor towers will require casting of 10 m high concrete columns around the steel
foam riser pipe. The foam pipe shall be internally lined and Contractor ensures that no damage
is possible to the flange faces, inside lining or outside coating of the pipe. Blank flanges shall be
bolted to the ends at all time with allowance for venting to allow for temperature changes.
II. The steel fire water piping will be lined and coated to provide corrosion protection to the steel.
To assist with the lining and coating process, the pipes will have flanged joints at not more than
12 m centres and spools with bends or tees will be limited in size to ensure the spool piece can
be rotated by hand to accommodate the lining process. The Contractor coordinates this with his
lining sub-contractor to ensure all pipe-work can be lined.
III. The following methodology must be followed in order to avoid having to make alterations to pipe
spools that have been fabricated, tested and lined. Any deviation from the methodology below
is at the Contractor’s risk.
a) Contractor performs accurate surveys on all civil works as and when complete including the
pump house, pipe trenches, pipe bridges and pipe supports
b) Contractor checks the surveyed levels and positions of the civil works against the piping
drawings and make amendments to dimensions as required. No alteration of pipe routes
shall be permitted. Change in dimension of more than 100 mm on any straight length or
change in route shall be reported to the Employer who shall amend the piping design.
c) Spool pieces shall be tack welded to the flanges and at all welded joints
d) The tack welded spool pieces are bolted together or to the equipment that they connect to, to
check for fit and alignment.
e) If required, alterations are made to the spool piece to ensure correct fit and alignment taking
into account allowances for warping or distortions that occur during the fabrication process
f) Once all spool pieces have been checked for fit they can be fully welded and the welds can
be tested.
g) The spool pieces will then be hydro tested
h) Those spool pieces that have passed the fabrication QA tests can be lined and coated
i) The above fabrication and corrosion protection process can be done off site in controlled
conditions to ensure fabrication and corrosion protection to the highest standards.
IV. The fire pump will be installed in a caisson that will be supplied with the fire pump. The caisson
will be installed through an opening in the floor of the pump house and will then need to be
secured in position by fixing it below water level to the quay wall. This will require specialized
marine divers. Once the caisson has been secured to the quay wall the pump will be installed
inside the caisson. The pump shall be supplied in sections and bolted together as the sections
are inserted into the caisson and dropped down below water level.
V. A screen net will also need to be installed around the pump. The net will be fixed around the
pump caisson and will need to be fixed to the quay wall. Specialist marine divers will need to do
this installation.
VI. Once construction is complete the testing and commissioning of the mechanical equipment will
be done. This will consist of hydro testing of the entire system in accordance with the
requirements of NFPA, including running the fire water pump and allowing pumped water to exit
out of the foam monitors and hydrants that form part of the fire system. Thereafter the foam
pump and foam system will be commissioned and the system checked to ensure a good quality
aspirated foam is produced when using the monitors.
VII. Once the mechanical hydrocarbon commissioning has been completed the electrical and
instrumentation commissioning can be done to ensure that all detectors and system controls are
working as intended.

are to be used for this project:
i. Level 1 Master Programme - defines the major activities and interfaces between
engineering, procurement, fabrication and construction, transportation, installation, and
pre-commissioning, commissioning, and start-up. This is a high level summary
programme, and is included in the monthly progress report.
ii. Level 2 Project Programme - summary programme "rolled up" from the level 3 project
programme. The structure and layout will be in accordance with the FBS as defined in
the Level 3 programme.
iii. Level 3 Project Programme - detailed programme, which is generated for tracking and
control of various activities and deliverables for all phases of the project. The activities
will be coded in accordance with the FBS. Various layouts and corresponding filters can
be developed to reflect the requirements of the project leads and managers.
iv. Level 4 Project Programme - This detailed, discipline-specific programme is developed
and maintained by the Contractor and generated for tracking and control of various
activities and deliverables for all phases of the project. This programme utilizes the FBS
structure and relates to the programmed activities in the pricing activity programme or
groups of activities. The programme represents the day-to-day activities by discipline that
are work-unit based and become summarized in the Level 3 activities.
To demonstrate the actual progress and forecast completion of the works, the Contractor shall,
on a weekly basis, update and submit to the Project Manager the latest accepted programme and
progress report, including histograms and S- curves.
Monitoring and review of the progress of the works shall consist of an assessment of all activities
currently in progress to determine percentage complete, forecast completion dates, manning
histogram, showing plan versus forecast, deviations from the target programme and actions
required for remedy.
Weekly progress review meetings shall be conducted to report and assist control of the works.
2. Reports:
i. Level 4 Programme - updated weekly, showing two separate bars for each task, i.e. the
primary bar shall reflect the current forecast dates and the secondary bar the latest
accepted programme.
ii. 3-Week Look-Ahead Programme - in the same format as above, updated and issued
weekly.
iii. Manpower Histogram - updated and issued weekly, showing actual, forecast and
planned manpower utilization.
iv. S-curves - updated and issued weekly, showing actual % complete versus planned %
for the overall contract and utilizing the earned values as calculated by the detailed
progress report.
v. Detailed progress report - updated and issued weekly, utilizing a spreadsheet to
calculate earned progress of activities, as reflected on the Level 4 programme, based on
installed quantities. Activities shall be weighted using man-hours. Report shall indicate
progress ‘this period’ and ‘progress to date’.
vi. Weekly report - a narrative report consisting of an executive summary, area/facility
synopsis of the works that are in progress and critical action items (top 10). The report
shall be accompanied with a 3-week look-ahead programme and s-curve. A weekly health

each individual welder’s qualification tests carried out in terms of API 1104 or ASME IX, the cost of
which shall be borne by the Contractor. Nevertheless the coding of welders for this project shall be
carried out by a recognised independent inspection authority approved by the Engineer and the cost
of such coding shall be for the account of the Contractor.
Before a welder is employed on tack or root welds, he shall carry out a test and root weld on a pipe
of the same materials and under conditions as close as possible to those experienced on the actual
pipeline.
If icicles are present in the bore of the pipes or the weld metal projects more than 5mm the welder
shall not be permitted to undertake tack or root welding. The completed test weld pieces shall be
visually examined and then radiographed. Should the weld appear sound, it shall be subjected to
approved root and face bend tests. Test pieces shall be retained by the Contractor and marked so
that they can be identified with the welding carrying out the test.
PSL 8 Weather
Field welding shall not be performed when the surfaces to be welded are wet or during periods of
high wind unless the operator and the work are properly protected and sheltered in an approved
manner.
Where scarf cutting of the pipe is required in the field the pipe ends shall be prepared by machining
or machine flame cutting. Hand flame cutting shall not be permitted.
When jointing pieces by butt welding the number of tack welds applied shall be kept to a minimum to
be effective in holding the pipe end securely and to maintain the required root gap prior to welding,
but shall be not less than four.
The same procedure for hot cutting is applicable for welding, but where a joint is to be made with
new to existing pipe; it is preferable for safety reasons to flange the joint. In the case where the
flange is jointed to the existing pipe, a rubber expandable plug is inserted into the line far enough
from the heat affected zone. As gas test is then done before a hot work permit is issued. In the case
of the pipe being in a vertical plane, light water may be placed over the plug.
The line must be drained of all seawater after isolation and flushed with fresh water.
Where the downtime on a particular pipeline is critical, the Engineer may order the “clay plug”
method to be used to perform the tie-in. The existing lines for the particular line will be drained by
the Contractor under the supervision of the Engineer. The Contractor shall then cold cut the existing
lines on either side of the tie-in points and install slip on flanges (unless bolting to an existing flange)
on the existing pipe upstream and downstream of the tie-in point using the “clay plug” method. The
open ends of the cut existing lines shall be “clay plugged. Partially prefabricated tie-in spool pieces
shall then be installed, tack welded, removed, fully welded, pressure tested and reinstalled after
removal of the “clay plugs”.
The Contractor shall allow in his tendered rates for the provision of sufficient cold cutting equipment
and “clay plugs” to work simultaneously on all tie-in points for the line and for all extra costs involved
in performing the above operations.
The use of plumbers plugs as “clay plugs” will be permitted provided that the seal between the plug
and the pipe wall is air tight.
All plugs are to be vented to prevent pressure build up behind the plug. Vents are to end a minimum
of 10m past all hot work and the vent pipe is to be of a non-flammable material in the vicinity of the
welding.
Plastic, rubber or wood caps are to be utilised to seal the pipes to ensure cleanliness during all
transport, storage and handling operations, up to placing the pipe prior to welding.
PSL 11 Inspection
Facilities shall be provided for the Engineer and inspection authority so that he may be able to
inspect, during the process of welding, any layer of weld metal. He may require any defective welds
either to be cut out and re-welded or repaired at his discretion.
The Contractor shall clean thoroughly all welds prior to inspection. The Engineer may require a
number of completed joints, selected at random, to be cut for mechanical tests or to be selected for
visual inspection, micro examination or examination by other means. When the Engineer orders the
Contractor in writing to cut out and test joints the Contractor shall be paid for such work at day work
rates.
If as a result of inspection and testing, the work of any welder is found to be unsatisfactory, the
welder will not be permitted to continue under this Contract.
All inspection shall be in accordance with the conformity assessment as defined in SANS 347. The
contractor shall ensure that this is done and submitted to the Engineer for acceptance.
The Contractor will engage the services of an approved radiographer for examination of
approximately 10% of all butt welds in the pipeline. The cost of this testing shall be included in the
rates tendered for piping. For every weld that fails the radiographic test, the Contract shall be debited
with the cost of re-testing the repaired work. Any radiographic testing which the Contractor may
consider necessary in addition to that specified shall be at his own expense. All faults revealed by the
tests shall be repaired to the approval of the Engineer.
The Contractor will engage the services of an approved non-destructive testing agency for
examination of approximately 10% of all fillet welds in the pipeline by means of dye penetrant or
other suitable tests. The costs involved with this testing shall be borne by the Contractor.
The completed welds shall comply with the requirements of API 1104 or ASME IX. Work on which
unauthorised repairs have been carried out may be rejected.
Faulty welds shall be rectified in accordance with API 1104 or ASME IX.
All costs relative to the repair of faulty joints, including removal and replacement of the backfill and
making good the wrapping and lining shall be borne by the Contractor.
PSL 16 Tolerances
Level of pipe invert : within 25mm of the level shown on the drawings,
Location of pipe centre in plan : within 25mm of the location shown on the drawings
through the sleeves and culverts and elsewhere
within 75mm of position shown on the drawings or
as agreed by the Engineer.
Line of the Pipe : The line of a straight pipe shall not vary by more
than 15mm from the line of a 12m vertical or
horizontal line.
PSL 17 Testing
The Contractor shall provide all necessary labour and equipment for conducting the tests as described
above. All tests are to be carried out in the presence of the Engineer at such time and in such manner
as he may direct.
All the pipelines shall be tested as directed by the Engineer. Refer to the line list for test pressures
and applicable codes for each pipe-line.
Blank flanges with necessary air, water and pressure gauge connections shall be provided by the
Contractor for this purpose. Before testing any pipeline all construction work on the pipeline shall be
complete unless otherwise specifically directed by the Engineer.
All joints, including welds, are to be left un-wrapped and exposed for examinations during the air
tests. Vents, drains and relief valves shall be utilised to prevent damage to the piping system due to
expansion of the test fluid during the test period.
The maximum operating pressure of each piece of equipment, including instruments, shall be
checked against the test pressure of the piping system in which the piece of equipment is
incorporated. If the test pressure of the piping system is greater than the maximum operating
pressure of the equipment, the equipment shall be blanked off and tested separately.
Other testing fluids may be used provided they are approved by the Engineer before testing is
started.
The Contractor shall supply all necessary water or other fluid if so specified, labour and equipment for
conducting the tests as described herein. All tests shall be carried out in the presence of the
Engineer or his representative at such times and in such manner as he may direct.
The pipeline or equipment shall be filled with water, all scours on the section being opened fully for
one minute or until the water emerges clean. If after 48 hours the Engineer is satisfied that there are
no major leaks, the pressure test shall be carried out.
The pressure in the pipeline under test shall be raised slowly by means of the pump and measured by
a pressure gauge connected to the pipeline. The duration of the test shall be at least 2 hours.
The required test pressure of steel pipelines and fittings shall be as specified in the line list and
applicable line class specification and isometric drawing. In the case of valves, this shall also be the
pressure to be used for gate and body leakage and opening and closing torque tests. Ensure all
valves are open during pressurization.
The Contractor shall be paid under the appropriate item in the Schedule of Quantities for hydraulic
tests. Re-testing after repairs required by this clause shall not be paid for.
On completion of hydraulic testing, all new pipelines shall be completely flushed out with clean water
for a period of not less than one minute and at a velocity greater than 3m/s to ensure the removal of
any remaining debris to the satisfaction of the Engineer.

CONSTRUCTION PROGRAMME
The Tenderer shall submit with his tender a preliminary construction programme showing the
sequence and durations of construction of the main sections of the work. Within two weeks of
the acceptance of his tender, the Contractor shall provide a detailed programme using the same
activity durations and completion date of the programme submitted with the tender and an
estimated cash flow related to the cost and duration of the various items of work.
The critical path shall be clearly defined and the programme shall be drawn up in sufficient detail
so that possible interface problems with the Employer's existing operations and those of other
contractors may be identified and avoided as far as possible.
Progress shall be monitored against the agreed programme. If construction does not in fact take
place in accordance therewith a separate "catch-up" programme shall be provided showing how
the lost time will be made up.
A number of services are known to exist over the whole area of the Works. Prior to commencing
work in any area the Contractor shall consult with the Employer on the location of such services
and shall locate the exact positions and depths of such services by means of radio detection and
hand excavated trial holes. All services discovered by the foregoing investigation shall be
recorded and plotted by the Contractor on a signed sketch which shall be submitted to the
Employer. The Contractor shall assist, when required, in the alterations to such services by
providing labour, plant and material and shall carry out the necessary work as instructed by the
Employer. The cost of excavating any trial holes will be paid for under an item in the Schedule of
Quantities. Any necessary alterations to services will be paid for on a daywork basis.
The above operations shall be continuous and at least two weeks ahead of construction in order
to allow time for the necessary alteration to services or amendments to the design of the works.
Claims for extension of time or for damages in this connection will NOT be entertained if the
operation of locating services is less than two weeks ahead of construction.
Responsibility for protection of all known services shall rest solely with the Contractor and he
shall bear all costs which may arise as a result of any damage which he may cause to such
services or which may arise as a result of his operations.
Notwithstanding the provisions of various payment clauses in the Earthworks sections of SABS
1200, no additional payment will be made for work in the vicinity of existing services as the unit
rates tendered shall be deemed to cover any such additional costs as may be involved.
DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF NUMEROUS SERVICES, ALL EXCAVATION SHALL BE CARRIED OUT
BY HAND, EXCEPT WHERE PROVING TRENCHES HAVE REVEALED THAT THERE ARE NO
SERVICES IN THE AREA.
In the event of water being encountered in excavations, the Contractor shall, to the approval of
the Employer, make arrangements to lower the water table locally or to dewater, and shore, if
required, and all costs in connection herewith shall be included in the rates tendered.
PS 5.2 Safety
The site is a hazardous area and therefore all statutory regulations, as well as those of the
Employer, regarding hot-work, smoking and the use of naked flames in these areas shall apply;
the Contractor's personnel shall be subject to all safety procedures and regulations as laid down
by the Employer.
A work permit must be obtained from the Employer before work is commenced on each and
every day. No welding, grinding or other hot work will be permitted without first obtaining a
“Hot Work Permit” from the Employer. Hot work may be stopped periodically due to the transfer
of flammable products. If noxious or flammable vapours are present, personnel may be asked to
leave the site until safe conditions prevail again.
The Contractor’s site foreman shall keep a day work book for recording all hot work stoppages
and all periods of such stoppages shall be countersigned by the Engineer or his representative.
Claims for standing time will be considered only if this procedure has been followed and if the
Contractor’s employees could not be gainfully employed elsewhere. An extension of time will be
granted if such stoppages delay activities which lie on the critical path.
The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring the satisfactory and safe condition of all power
tools and power equipment. All electrically powered equipment shall be intrinsically safe. The use
of electrically powered equipment shall be subject to the prior approval of the Employer.
In the event of a fire at the site of the works, the Contractor shall inform port personnel of the
fire and shall then vacate the site immediately. He shall not be responsible for fighting fires
within the port.
The Employer will provide fire extinguishers which shall be placed in positions readily accessible
from areas where hot work is being carried out.
The Employer’s normal operations and maintenance will continue on the site during the
construction period. It is possible, therefore, that the site and the surrounding areas may
become congested at times, and careful co-ordination is thus essential in order to minimise
disruptions to all parties.
All Occupational Health and Safety Act Regulations pertaining to the work being carried out must
be adhered to. The Contractor's employees and Sub-Contractors (including their employees)
shall at all times be supervised according to the requirements of the General Safety Regulations
of the Occupational Health and Safety Act and made aware of his responsibilities. The Employer
reserves the right to judge the competence of the appointed Supervisor for the task being
performed before and during the progress of the work.
Although not bound in nor issued with this document, the following standardised specifications shall
form part of the contract document and, not withstanding the provisions of Subclause 2.2 of SABS 1200
A, editions specified below shall apply:

1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this commissioning plan is to outline the procedures associated with
commissioning various types of civils, electrical, firefighting and protection systems and plant
associated with Berth B100. This document shall further describes and defines the procedures to
be followed in commissioning the facilities and systems, which form part of the Berth B100 and
its associated infrastructure at the Port of Nqgura.
The commissioning and start-up of Plant/facilities is a demanding and complex phase of the
project. It involves the combined effort of co-operation and coordination with all parties such as
the construction management team, commissioning team, Clients, Engineering, operational team,
Contractors and Vendors.
The purpose of this Commissioning Management Plan is also to define the terminology to describe
within various stages of commissioning and establish simple procedures and clearly define the
responsibilities of those involved in order to facilitate an efficient handover and/or start-up.
This Commissioning Management Plan shall further be revisited and revised as necessary during
the Project’s lifecycle from time to time and in accordance with the Contractor’s detailed
commissioning plans as applicable for the respective construction work packages.
2. PROJECT BACKGROUND
The Liquid Bulk Terminal in the Port of Port Elizabeth is nearing the end of its lifecycle. This places
a restriction on any development in the Port of Port Elizabeth and there is no room for expansion
of the liquid bulk terminal to cater for increases in future growth in fuel demand. It is furthermore
situated next to residential and recreational areas preventing the development of light commercial
activities as well as residential and recreational areas whilst operational. The benefit of
establishing a new Liquid Bulk Terminal at the Port of Ngqura is that there is ample land for
development that would cater for the increased demand in liquid bulk fuel in the long term. The
Port Development Framework Plan also allows for a future refinery to be constructed in the Coega
IDZ with additional storage tanks and berths on TNPA land.
The benefit of the closure of the Liquid Bulk Terminal in the Port of Port Elizabeth is that valuable
land will become available for other recreational activities, and commercial developments. It will
also allow the development of residential areas in close proximity of the Port of Port Elizabeth on
the southern precinct and surrounding areas.
The strategic decision by the TNPA on shutting down the operations of the Liquid Bulk Terminal
in the Port of Port Elizabeth requires that berth B100 be made available, a second port entrance,
associated services and infrastructure be constructed at the Port of Ngqura by the TNPA as well
as a new Liquid Bulk Terminal. The Liquid Bulk Terminal Operator Oiltanking Grindrod Calulo
(Pty)/Ltd (OTGC) was appointed during December 2016, after following a Section 56 Process in
accordance with the National Ports Act. In future berth B100 will be used for MPT or Dry bulk and
a new berth A100 will be provided under phase 3 of the project. All developments are in
accordance with the Port development framework plan (PDFP).
3. SCOPE
This document defines the inspection, testing and handover process to be followed, when
transferring equipment from construction, to pre-operational testing, to process commissioning
and finally to operations. This applies to all civils, mechanical, structural, electrical,
instrumentation and piping equipment within the Berth B100 project. Where required a detailed
commissioning plan as deemed appropriate at the discretion of the responsible engineer, shall be
prepared as required for the various systems. International best practice norms and standards
shall be followed in terms of inspection, testing for safety, setting and configuring, and rendering
the installed equipment fully functional to its intended purpose.
Items such as concrete and steel structures, earthworks are excluded from the commissioning
scope as these items can be handed over directly from construction to operations, without the
need for pre-operational testing and commissioning. A final inspection and sign-off for these items
will still be required in order to issue the C1 certificate. However, after finalisation of the C1
certificate, control of these items will pass directly to the client, without the need for C2, C3 and
C4 commissioning stages.
OTGC commissioning of the loading arms does not form part of TGC’s scope. OTGC will only
witness the commissioning carried out by TGC and then complete the overall commissioning as
per their scope of work.
4. STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS
All aspects of the commissioning process shall adhere to any and/or all relevant requirements of
the following legislation, as appropriate:
Occupational Health and Safety Act 85 of 1993
National Environmental Management Act 107 of 1998
South African National Standards and Codes of Practice
All local, provincial or S.A. Government laws in force at the time.
The commissioning process for all electrical and mechanical equipment shall adhere to any specific
and relevant requirements contained in the following national and international standards, where
different standards call for different testing and commissioning procedures for the same
equipment, the most stringent alternative shall apply.
Note: Where reference is made to a code, standard or specification, the reference shall be taken
to mean the latest edition of the code, standard or specification, including latest Addenda,
supplements and revisions thereto.
The commission process in general, shall be in accordance with the recommendations of:
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), and
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)

Cold Commissioning
Hot Commissioning
Stage: C5 Ramp-up
Activity: Ramp-up
Conditions: Process materials
Example tasks: (Typical) Increase throughput to design capacity and quality
Responsible Person: Operations Manager
Responsible Team: Client operations team
Milestones: Total Care, Custody & Control Certificate approval (TCCC)
Please note:
The Construction Manager shall be responsible for each section of the plant up to completion of
the C1 commissioning stage. The Commissioning Manager will then assume responsibility for
each section of the plant as it is handed over from construction up to the end of the C3
commissioning stage. The Commissioning Manager shall further together with the client assume
responsibility for each of the plant as it is accepted at the end of the C5 commissioning stage.
For the Cold Commissioning (C1 to C3) activities, time has been allowed for contractors to rectify
punch items, as well as the turnaround time for approvals when applying for the different cold
commissioning certification. The breakdown of mechanical/electrical cold commissioning activities
are as follows:
1. Initial punching by project team
2. Rectify punch item category A and B emanating from initial punching
3. Back punch after rectification by project team
4. Initial Client punch
5. Rectify punch items emanating from initial Client punch.
6. Client back punch after rectifications
7. Practical completion/C1 achieved (Individual item installation complete)
8. Test individual item
9. C2 achieved (Individual item starts)
10. Complete all remaining punch items categories before C3 application
11. Final punch of remaining Category C-E punch items
12. Area dry operational test interface with other units in area (Data books, as-built drawings
submission required)
13. C3 achieved (Area operational)
For civil works, the activities for cold commissioning would not be as long as for the installation
packages, as there will not be any physical C2 to C5 activities. Once C1 has been achieved, C2 to
C5 activities become a documentation exercise until handover. The breakdown of civil and
earthworks cold commissioning activities is as follows:
1. Initial punching by project team
2. Rectify punch item category A and B emanating from initial punching
3. Back punching by project team
4. Initial Client punch
5. Rectify punch items emanating from initial Client punch.
6. Client back punch after rectifications
7. C2 to C5 commissioning stages’ paperwork to handover certificates
8. Complete all remaining punch items categories before C5 application.
For civil works, the activities for hot commissioning are a documentation exercise to achieve the
handover certificate and include the following activities:
1. C4 achieved
2. Project team/Client interface
3. C5 achieved
Site induction
All commissioning team members and vendor representatives will be inducted prior to working on
site. In the case of short visits and when induction is impractical, the visitor will be accompanied
at all times on the plant site by an inducted person. Items to be emphasised during commissioning
inductions include:
1. Emergency telephone numbers and radio channels
2. Location of evacuation points
3. Wearing of personal protective equipment
4. Standard operating procedures
5. Hazardous chemicals, pressures
6. Job safety analysis
7. Isolation and tagging procedures
8. First aid and paramedic facilities.
Handover identification
The handover identification program facilitates the transfer of equipment systems from the
custody of construction to cold commissioning and then to hot commissioning. Handover
identification is achieved by access control and signage at the entrances to buildings and areas
identifying the status of the equipment within the area or building and the person responsible for
activities within the area. Different colour tags are used to identify the operational status of
specific equipment. The handover identification program performs two functions. First, it
provides a boundary within which work or testing may be performed safely. Secondly, it provides
personnel with a notification of the extent that certain equipment or systems will be either out of
service or have their service restricted. Any other group wishing to work on equipment in the
area must obtain authorisation from the authority indicated on the entrance signage.
Energisation
Following the transfer of a section of the plant from construction to cold commissioning the
responsible commissioning manager will ensure that all inspection and testing necessary for the
safe energisation of the equipment has been completed. A site wide notification is then issued
which identifies the equipment that is about to be energised. This procedure applies to the
energisation of systems including Low Voltage (LV) electrical equipment, mechanical equipment,
process vessels and piping systems. The notice of energisation warns of the potential exposure
to electrical hazards, moving equipment, hazardous equipment or hazardous materials.
Permit to work
Work permits are used to control the performance of work on components and systems under
the control of commissioning. Work control is necessary to ensure that any previous
commissioning work is not invalidated and that components and systems are available to support
the project commissioning schedule. Work control complements the safety isolation procedure in
the protection of personnel and equipment from hazards due to pressures, temperatures or
voltages. The work authorisation authority, in this case the Client, will review the work with the
requestor and analyse potential risks and hazards presented by the work or by simultaneous
activities on nearby or related systems and equipment. If necessary, they will develop a list of
procedures or measures to protect the requestor, its workers, others and the equipment or system
from these hazards throughout the planned work activity. The work authorisation authority, after
determining that the requested work can be accomplished, will provide a work window based on
the requestor's work duration estimate and prepare the work authorisation to identify the work
desired.
Risk management
Commissioning testing frequently requires equipment to be operated in a manner that is not
covered by a standard operating procedure. In these circumstances a risk assessment, including
a risk mitigation plan must be compiled and approved prior to the start of the task. The risk
assessment will consider each step of the task and evaluate potential hazards for likelihood and
severity. Measures to minimise the risks will be identified and a member of the work team will
be nominated to be responsible for the application of each control measure.
Tagging
A system of tags will be used to provide a record of inspection and checks to facilitate a systematic
check out of equipment and ensure the safety of all involved. The systems of tags proposed for
this project will be as per the Client’s lock out procedure. No tag present means that equipment
is still under construction and not ready for any testing.
1. Blue Commissioning Tag:
The contractor commissioning team attaches this blue tag to each piece of equipment
after installation is completed and Client commissioning engineer have signed off the
relevant check-out acceptance certificate. This signifies that C2 cold commissioning can
commence.
3. Green Tag:
The green tag indicates that the equipment has been handed over to operations. This will
typically happen for the C4 commissioning phase.
C0 – Commissioning - Preparation

Not critical (General defects. Cannot be rectified when plant is running) can
B
be rectified during the next stage of commissioning.
Not critical (Remaining work, but can be rectified when plant is running)
C
must be rectified before the final plant acceptance.
A central database will be maintained on site for all punch list items to facilitate management of
the corrective actions and ensure that all deficiencies are corrected in a timely manner and that
the corrective actions are fully documented. The punch list will be managed in turn by the
commissioning manager, the Client’s commissioning manager and the ramp up manager. The
current commissioning manager will review all deficiency items generated on the project and
approve them prior to entry into the database
Completion Certificate
This certificate as represented in Annexure A, may be prepared for equipment, systems or areas
and serves to handover the equipment from C1-commissioning-construction completion to C2-
commissioning-equipment testing. This certificate does not exempt the contractor from his
contractual obligations. It does not certify that the contract is completed nor serves any
authorisation for payment. The engineer responsible for the particular system or piece of
equipment will draft the Completion Certificate, as represented in Annexure B, only after the
following has been fulfilled:
1. The installation of the equipment is essentially complete with only minor defects
remaining.
2. All prescribed inspection and testing has been carried out satisfactorily and the QCPs have
been approved and signed.
3. All equipment and systems conform to the equipment design and technical specifications.
An important part of the Completion certificate is the list of defects. Prior to handover, the
equipment or facility is inspected by the engineer in co-operation with the contractor and the
Client’s team and all known defects are listed with indication of party responsible for the
correction. There can be several sources of defects: e.g. faulty or incomplete installation, poor
design, omissions, fabrication errors, etc. However, at this stage the defects should be minor in
nature and should never jeopardise the safety of operations. It must be recognised that a number
of defects can be detected only after actual operation commences. Therefore, the listed items of
defects on the Completion Certificate does not exempt the contractor or the supplier from their
respective responsibilities and warranties.
A Total Care, Custody & Control Certificate, as represented in Annexure E, issued by the Client’s
commissioning managers to the Client’s Area managers to:
1. Handover the plant to production and optimisation after successful C4-commissioning-
process commissioning. This certificate indicates final project acceptance in all respects
of installation and performance. Optimisation, full load performance testing and training
of operators and shift foremen during C5-commissioning-ramp-up are still to be
completed. These tasks are the responsibility of the area operations managers.
