2. SCOPE
The scope of this Quality Management Plan includes all quality related functions and activities
for the project management, design, engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction and
commissioning of the TPL25 Fire Upgrade Project for the 24 sites considered by the project.
2.1. Background
Transnet Pipelines owns, maintains and operates a network of high-pressure petroleum and
gas pipelines across 5 Provinces. These receive fuel from the two refineries in Durban, the
crude refinery at Coalbrook (Natref) and the Synfuel plants at Secunda (Sasol II and III).
There are numerous intake stations, pump stations and delivery depots within the network
distributed across KwaZulu-Natal, Free State, Gauteng, North West and Mpumalanga.
TPL have undertaken to upgrade the fire protection systems on a number of existing pump
stations and depots to ensure the functionality and quality of the fire protection is in line with
company’s objectives.
The project includes 24 sites and is being managed by TPL with WSP as the appointed fire
specialist during FEL3 and SiVEST having completed the design of the system for this phase.
The project has been approved for FEL4 and is to be executed with a procurement strategy
which sees the full scope of work for each site being tendered separately such that each site
will have a main contractor who is responsible for all procurement and construction as well as
some elements of design.
The scope includes the construction of a full fire protection on each site including the water
tanks, pump house building, diesel fire pumps, foam storage and induction, control and alarm
systems with extensive detection and the piping network with deluge valves and various end
of line equipment.
The Quality Management Plan is applicable to the processes completed by the Contractor in
the implementation of the project.
This plan describes Quality Assurance and Quality Control functions and activities to be
implemented and includes or refers to established Quality Control plans, procedures and
standard forms.

5.3. Quality Management Philosophy and Overview
5.3.1. Project Quality Management
Project quality management ensures that the project satisfies the needs for which it is
undertaken. It includes all activities that determine the quality policy, objectives and
responsibilities and implements them by means such as quality planning, quality control,
quality assurance and quality improvements within the quality system. Project quality
management addresses both the management of the project quality and the project's end
product.
5.3.2. Quality Management Process
Quality Management consists of the following processes:
Quality planning is the identification of the relevant quality standards and the
determination of how to satisfy them. The output from quality planning is a quality
management plan that documents how the project management team will
implement its quality policy. It addresses quality control, quality assurance and
quality improvement for the project. In addition, it includes operational definitions
or metrics (explicit descriptions of what something is and how it will be measured)
and checklists (to verify that a set of required steps has been performed or that a
set of required features have been included).
Quality assurance evaluates overall project performance on a regular basis to
provide confidence that the project will satisfy the relevant quality standards.
Quality audits (structured reviews of other quality management activities) play a
key role in quality assurance. Quality assurance results in quality improvements.
Quality control is the monitoring of specific project results to determine if they
conform to the relevant quality standards and the identification of ways to
eliminate the causes of unsatisfactory performance. Inspection using checklists as a
guide and trend analysis are key elements of quality control. The project results
that are monitored include both deliverables and cost/schedule/scope performance.
Quality control results in quality improvements, process adjustments (immediate
corrective or preventive action) and rework. Since rework is a frequent cause of
cost and schedule overruns, the goal of quality management is to minimize the
amount of rework required and get it right the first time.
5.3.3. Roles & Responsibilities

5.4.2. Audits/Assessments
Quality audits are a quality assurance activity to evaluate project performance on a regular
basis and provide confidence that the project will satisfy the relevant quality standards.
Quality audits of any quality management activity can occur e.g. reviews, document
checking, etc. The intent is to ensure that:
• Quality management activities have been identified and scheduled in the work
plan/schedule and completed as planned
• Action items resulting from quality management activities are being acted upon
• Quality management activities actually add value by improving quality
An initial quality audit will occur once quality management activities have started. The
results of the initial audit will determine the frequency of subsequent audits. The SiVEST
Project Manager and TPL Quality/Technical manager is responsible for scheduling the
audits and will involve the lead engineers and TPL QA specialists as required
5.4.3. Management Reviews
The management reviews will be conducted. The TPL Quality/Technical Manager will be
responsible for the coordination of the reviews, monitor and implement the actions
defined at the Management Review. During reviews the following will be considered:
• Audit and Self/Peer review results
• Client Feedback
• Conformity of services / concessions and output of project
• Status of corrective and preventative actions
• Quality Improvement / Incident Reports
Fire Upgrade Project Transnet Quality Management Plan Date: 13/07/2015
TPL25 Quality Management Plan Page 13 of 23
• Changes affecting the PQP
5.4.4. Definitions of Project Quality Scope
Quality scope is the identifying and ensuring compliance of different project and Practice
functions and deliverables to the standard predefined by the project team. This includes
decisions and assumptions that affect the project objectives, scope, Quality cost and
schedule. Definition of project quality starts early in the project lifecycle process and
continues until the end of the project.
The objective of the Quality Scope is to outline an approach to:
• Project Management System that will provide project outcomes that meet or exceed
agreed upon criteria for measuring project success
• Defining appropriate project processes, workflows, guidelines, standards and
procedures to assist in project execution
• Achieving manufacturing, assembly and construction compliance with referenced
statutory codes, standards and specifications
• Minimize waste, non-conformities and re-work in order to reduce capital,
commissioning and operating/maintenance costs
5.4.5. Scope of Quality Review
Reviews will be either in an integrated meeting format or in the form of a squad check.
Each document that is reviewed will be reviewed for consistency with:
• Overall project objectives
• Scope definition documents from other disciplines in the same plant area
• Other scope definition documents from other plant areas for the same discipline
• Project standards for documentation
• Correct Project, engineering and contractual language usage
• Change Control and deviations
• Ensure applicable lines of communication and approvals
5.4.6. Documents Subject to Quality Reviews
Generally, documents formally issued to TPL for review and approval, documents formally
issued to outside third parties and any other documents identified as being critical to
project success are subject to design reviews are done according to the project, but
specifically, the following documents, will be subject to a quality review.
• Overall:
Project Execution Plan (PEP)
RACI Matrix and where applicable liability to be ensured
Project design basis and criteria
Standard specifications
Process/operation/control/plans descriptions
• Concept Drawings (where or if applicable):

Normally, a number of related documents are reviewed at the same time. Any document
could be reviewed more than once due to design responsibility or development, scope
change, change in execution strategy or the specific aspect being reviewed. Generally, a
document is reviewed prior to the initial official issue and/or at designated levels of
completion. Documents cannot be officially issued until the review has been completed
and approved (where applicable).
5.4.7. Quality Review Participants
The objective is to perform an independent review of a document by competent or
specialist not directly involved in the aspect being reviewed. Therefore participants in
quality reviews will be selected based on the document and the specific aspects of the
document being reviewed.
Potential participants include:
• TPL Snr Project Manager
• TPL/BP Project Manager
• SiVEST Discipline Engineers/Leads
• Responsible Engineers
• Technical Specialists
• Site Manager
• Commissioning Manager (If Applicable)
• Client Representatives
5.5. Engineering and Design Quality Management
5.5.1. Records
Identifiable and retrievable records will be maintained to furnish evidence of activities
affecting quality.
5.5.2. Overview
Quality management during project definition, preliminary and basic engineering phases
will be similar to quality management during the detailed engineering phase. All formal
drawing reviews will be documented.
Detailed design consists of producing the documents and drawings that will be used to
build the plant. The information that will be used as the basis of the documents will come
from the design Basis for Detail Engineering.
Fire Upgrade Project Transnet Quality Management Plan Date: 13/07/2015
TPL25 Quality Management Plan Page 15 of 23
5.5.3. Preliminary Design
Preliminary design focuses on developing the information required to obtain quotations
on pre-purchased equipment packages.
The design criteria present project-specific standards to be used in the design process.
The standards can be applicable to TPL Standards, national, industry and internal
standards or statutory laws. In effect, the design criteria describe how the project's end
product will be designed.
A multi-discipline basis of design also is prepared, which documents design decisions and
describes what is being designed.
The design criteria and the basis of design are key inputs to the design process. Based
on these documents, each discipline initially produces:
• Concept drawings
• Standard specifications (specifications applicable to a number of pre-purchased
equipment packages)
• Equipment specifications (specifications applicable to only one pre-purchased
equipment package)
• Reports (documenting the results of design studies and the evaluation of design
alternatives)
Generally, the drawings, standards, specifications and reports are verified for consistency
and conformance with the design criteria, basis of design and other
drawings/standards/specifications/reports before being issued to the Client for comment
or approval. In addition, equipment specifications are verified for conformance with
applicable general specifications.
5.5.4. Scope of Drawing Reviews
Each document that is reviewed will be reviewed for consistency and conformance with:
• Overall project objectives
• Scope definition documents
• Integration of other Practices drawings
• Other drawings by other disciplines in the same area
• All other drawings included in the same contract
• Other drawings in other areas (especially interfaces)
• Drawing design standards
• Clarity of instruction and language used
5.5.5. Drawing Subject to Review
All drawings, lists, etc., will be reviewed prior to being issued for fabrication and
construction.
5.5.6. Timing of Drawing Revisions
Drawings will be reviewed prior to:
• Initial issue for manufacturing
• Initial issue for construction
• All subsequent issues (if the drawing has been revised)
Fire Upgrade Project Transnet Quality Management Plan Date: 13/07/2015
TPL25 Quality Management Plan Page 16 of 23

covering their applicable area only.
5.5.9. Review of Technical Specifications
Prior to being issued for tender, the SiVEST Project Manager is responsible to review all
technical specifications and other engineering documents for consistency and to ensure:
• The technical document complies with the overall project scope and objective
• Related drawings and other documents are included
• Client specific requirements are included
• Completeness and clarity of the document
5.5.10. Formal Design Reviews
In addition to frequent, informal design reviews, there will be typically two formal design
reviews. The first review is typically carried out during Basic Engineering and determines
that the main design concepts are correct. The second review typically occurs after the
detail design has been substantially completed and address all design issues including
constructability and maintainability.
• Review 1{approved for detailed design): Concurrent multidiscipline signs off through
a formal design review of reports or layouts to allow start of detailed design
• Review 2 {approved for fabrication/construction): Formal design review ·used to
confirm that output/deliverables could be issued for construction and signed from
originator through to professional Engineer/Project Manager with the appropriate
"issued for use", stamp displayed.
5.5.11. Change Control Principles
Listed below are a few examples of how the change management process is typically
applied within our projects:
• Ensure the Project Execution Plan, Management Plans, Procedures and Scope
statements have been agreed with the client
• Scope creep and submitting change requests, i.e. via a Project Change Notice (PCN)
to relevant levels of approval or a Design Change Notice (DCN)

TPL25 Quality Management Plan Page 17 of 23
• Field Engineering Queries (FEQ) - the engineering process used for construction
change and work authorize the contractor in performing work differently to what has
been specified or delivered as per the contractual agreement
• Forecasting of project trends and effects
• The recommendation/deviation and approval of preventative and corrective actions
• The updating of Project Management Plans, Procedures and Scope statements
• Approval of recommended defect repairs and the validation of defect repairs, etc.
In order to implement change the Project Manager will enlist a team that is responsible
for, and capable of making that change happen and ensures that the change is aligned
with the Client scope change policy and must be substantiated as a value add. It is
important that this team follows the following practical guidelines with regards to Change
Management:
• Carefully review the contract documents at the onset of the project to determine the
changes procedures and to identify those authorized to make changes.
• Caution your project management team members against reliance on changes
(additions, deletions or substitutions) made informally or through the shop drawing
process.
• Periodically review your cost control procedures to see that they are adequately
identifying and segregating extra costs.
• Outline any procedural steps and contract time limitations, which may affect your
entitlement to be paid for changed work, and make sure that your project
management team has that information and operates in a manner consistent with
preserving your entitlement to be paid for changes.
Change management of SiVEST will be dealt with in terms of the NEC3 PSC Contract. In
general no scope or design changes are to be actioned until approved in writing at the
appropriate level.
Once a change or potential change has been identified, a decision will be taken by the
TPL Project Manager as to whether work in the area concerned is to be stopped, or
continued on the previously agreed scope – until such time as the change is approved.
5.6. Procurement Quality Management
5.6.1. Overview
The overall approach to quality management for the procurement of goods and services
consists of:
• Selecting competent Suppliers/contractors in conjunction with the Employer
• Ensuring Procurement have a plan for controlling work processes and activities
• Monitoring compliance with the Procurement plan
In summary, the Suppliers will be responsible for the quality of their work while the project
team will be responsible for verifying that the Suppliers/Contractors are fulfilling their
responsibilities.
Quality management as it relates to the process of procuring goods and services consists
of:
Fire Upgrade Project Transnet Quality Management Plan Date: 13/07/2015
TPL25 Quality Management Plan Page 18 of 23
• Defining quantitative bid evaluation criteria for use on all equipment purchase
packages (bid analysis, evaluation, and recommendation) have been done
• Ensuring that all of the technical and commercial requirements are adequately defined
in the bid documents
• Verify selecting Suppliers that best meet the evaluation criteria
• Verifying that each Supplier is in conformance with their Quality Plan and Quality
Control Plan as defined in the purchase order/contract
• Verifying the performance of each Supplier against the Works Information
Specification and Quality Plan during the delivery of the goods or services as called
for in the purchase order / contract
In their quotation, all bidders will be required to describe their quality management
system and the quality management system used by their sub-suppliers / subcontractors.
In addition, they will provide a copy of their corporate quality manual.
Prior to purchase order/contract award, the Suppliers will submit for review a quality
management plan (including an inspection and testing plan) for the specific scope of work.
The purchase order will be awarded once the quality plan has been finalized. Then the
project team can start performing the necessary reviews, inspections or audits required
to assure that the Supplier is in conformance with the plan and that the work conforms
to the requirements of the purchase order/contract documents.
Responsibility for managing Supplier Quality is shared by all the project team. Engineering
is responsible for defining the specific quality requirements applicable to pre-purchased
equipment packages and for determining the technical acceptability of bidders. The
Project Manager provides an input into the commercial recommendation of bidders related
to Quality and inspection/surveillance of Suppliers, as required, the overall responsibility
however lies with the Responsible Engineer.
5.6.2. Quality Assurance Activities
A Quality Surveillance program will be developed by the TPL and SiVEST Project Manager,
to monitor and evaluate suppliers and Vendors procedures (including QCP's), methods,
products and records (including MDRs) to ensure conformance to specified requirements.
This program will be administered by the SiVEST Project Manager, directing discipline
specialists, field representatives and if required the Quality Control Inspection Agency for
verification and witness inspection activities.
The Quality Surveillance Program will commence upon award of Engineering, Purchase
Order and/or Contract and will include but not limited to the following activities:
• Evaluating Suppliers' and Vendors' Quality Assurance and Quality Control Programs
• Monitor the Preparation of Suppliers' and Vendors' Quality Control Plans (QCP's)
• Monitor Preparation of by Suppliers' and Vendors' Manufacturers Data Reports (MDRs)
• Monitor and review material certification, traceability and documentation by Suppliers
and Vendors
• Technical review and acceptance of design documents (If applicable)
• Supplier and Vendor Quality Surveillance
• Review and acceptance of QCPs
• Review and acceptance of MDRs

• Internal Audit Program and audit check lists of Supplier and Vendor Quality Assurance
and Control Programs
• Supplier and Vendor Audit Program and audit check lists
• Non-conformance Applications, which are in effect changes to Specification
requirements
• Technical Queries initiated for technical review and resolution by the
Company/Engineering Representative
• Direct Material Substitution Requests by Suppliers and Vendors
• Data Books
• Package / Vendor Change Management
5.6.3. Quality Assurance Levels
During the Procurement cycle TPL Quality/Technical Manager will specify in the technical
specifications the QA Level required. The criticality analysis shall be used to determine
the need for and extent of Quality Control Plans.
5.6.4. Quality Control
Only suitably qualified and competent Quality Control Inspectors will carry out the various
QC activities. QC is intended to be by the Contractor
Prior to start-up of fabrication of any equipment a Kick-Off Meeting shall be held with the
suppliers. The purpose is to ensure that quality requirements and standards as stipulated
in the Purchase Order are understood by the Supplier.
The level of Quality Surveillance and the extent of Quality Control Plans/Inspection and
Test Plans will generally relate to the Quality Assurance levels as indicated above.
5.6.5. Construction
Quality Control Plans must be prepared by all Vendors for Construction Quality Control at
the Project site. They will be managed and overseen by the Site Manager, and typically
include but not limited the following activities:
• Civil works, (Excavation, Backfill/Compaction and Concrete)
• Steelwork (Structural and Miscellaneous)
• Welding and NDT
• Testing for Mechanical Completion
• Building and associated works
• Pavement Construction
• Bulk Services Infrastructure
• Electrical Works
Quality Management Plans describe the detailed activities that will be carried out to
verify that all services, material, equipment, and installations meet the Project
Specifications. Where surveillance or witness inspection by the project team is required,
only appropriately qualified and experienced inspection staff will be used to carry out
these inspection activities.
The level of inspection surveillance to be carried out by the project team will be
appropriate to the type, criticality and complexity of construction or equipment being
installed, and the degree of confidence in the Vendor, based on an assessment of their
Fire Upgrade Project Transnet Quality Management Plan Date: 13/07/2015
TPL25 Quality Management Plan Page 20 of 23
Quality Plan and Procedures, personnel, facilities, demonstrated performance, and audit
findings.
The specific verification, witness inspection, quality surveillance and reporting
requirements for Contracts will be developed as part of the Enquiry document for these
services, and an acceptable agency selected and appointed to carry out this function.
QC verification, witness inspection and quality surveillance activities will be carried out
in conformance with this Quality Management Plan and relevant Project Specifications
and Codes and in accordance with Contract requirements, as follows:
• Carry out assigned inspections and verifications as necessary to ensure that the
equipment and material installed or fabricated on site, has been fabricated, installed,
tested and accepted in accordance with the requirements of the Contract and
discipline, and is ready for pre-commissioning activities
• Complete all recording and reporting requirements for each Contract
• Maintain contact, with the Vendor, from placement of the Contract throughout
fabrication and/or installation, until Practical Completion
• Follow-up Pre-Inspection Meeting action items as required
• Issue timely inspection reports of acceptable quality, indicating inspection results in
accordance with contract requirements
• Report Non-conformances on a priority basis
• Conduct regular review of Vendor's Quality Control Documentation for progressive
compilation
The Site Manager and the Designer will issue Final Release Certificates after all required
inspection, test activities and MDR documentation required by the Contract, have been
satisfactorily completed.
Non-Conformance Reports will be treated with the highest priority until the details are
established submitted to Company for comment and or approval and corrective action
implemented to resolve the problem.
Quality Control records will be maintained as follows:
• Non-Conformance Reports (NCR)
• Concession Requests
• Concession Register
• Non-Conformance Report Register
• Request For Information
• Direct Material Substitution Requests (DMSR)
• FEQ Requests
• FEQ Register
• "As-Built" Drawings
• Contract Inspection Records, including all related documents
5.6.6. Quality Risk
Quality risks are typically identified by analysing NCR's, Concessions, QIR's, Inspection
and Assessment Results and Internal or External Complaints originating from the Client
as well as the consultant/Contractor. As the aforementioned are analysed, they should be
reported and be incorporated into the Project Risk Register

TPL25 Quality Management Plan Page 21 of 23
5.6.7. Non-Conformance Control
All Non-Conformances that occur during the course of supply, fabrication or construction,
will be processed by the Supplier/Vendor such that Specification compliance is achieved.
A copy of all Supplier/Vendor or Contractor Non-Conformance Reports, with proposed
corrective action/disposition will be reviewed and approved as required by:
• The SiVEST Project Manager
• The Construction Manager
• The Company's Applicable Technical Representative (Designer)
• TPL QA Representative
• Consultants (Engineer of Record) where applicable
The parties will evaluate the potential for adverse impact on the project. The NCR's will
be regularly reviewed at Suppliers/Vendors premises as part of the Quality Surveillance
and Audit Programs, to verify effective control and close out.
Non-Conformances that occur as a result of audit, will be recorded on Non- Conformance
Report (NCR) by the audit team, and will be managed from Corrective Action and
Preventative Action, to close out, by the Supplier or Vendor, or the Contractor. These
Non-Conformance Reports will be regularly reviewed at Suppliers/Vendors premises as
part of the Quality Surveillance and Audit Programs, to verify effective control and close
out or at the construction site.
Supplier/Vendor or the Contractor requested disposition of non-conformances which
would result in a specification deviation will be notified in writing to the SiVEST Project
Manager, or the site representative, by returning the Non-Conformance Report, with
requested deviation as an action item. The SiVEST Project Manager will coordinate an
appropriate review, which includes the technical, regulatory, health and safety, and
environment with the Project manager or the Site Manager and the area/discipline
manager and the Company. The result will be presented to the Company for approval by
the TPL Project Manager.
5.6.8. Concessions
Where a Consultant/Contractor/Vendor requests a concession or waiver to vary the
requirement of the Purchase Order or specification and standard requirements as defined
by the Designer and conditions of contracting, the Consultant/Contractor/Vendor shall
raise the request with the TPL Project Manager and the request shall be captured in the
Concession register.
The Concession Requests shall clearly identify all elements of the proposed concession
together with any resulting technical, commercial and/or schedule impact or any benefits
in cost saving to the project and the Client which does not have a negative effect to the
project and to the design life.
No concession or waiver shall be implemented without formal written approval by the
Designer and TPL Project Manager.
The Completed original approved concession shall be updated in the concession register
and included in the Vendor's Data Pack.
