6.1.2

All installations/construction/testing works shall be carried out in accordance

with the Safety Requirements.

6.1.3

Inspection and Testing shall be conducted by the Site Instrument Engineers or

be coordinated with Vendor's Representative where applicable. Verification of
inspection checklists and tests shall be witnessed, recorded on forms EPCMD2-QM00-FMT-HV-018 to 022 (as applicable) and signed by the Site Instrument
QC Inspector.

6.1.4

Test Equipments shall have a valid calibration certificate.

6.2

Supports

6.2.1.

Prior to site dispatch, the support frame, stand and/or bracket shall be
inspected and checked against the detailed drawing. Ensure all the supports
are surface prepared and painted as per relevant specification.

6.2.2

All rough edges shall have been removed, the assembly primed and painted in
accordance with the specifications.

6.2.3

Verify that "Red-Line" drawings are updated to show new locations of instruments if they
are located in a different location than what is shown on the drawings.

6.2.4

The supports shall be located in accordance with the F & G layout drawings.
The precise location shall be finalized in the field.

6.2.5

Particular attention shall be paid to the following:

- The installation shall not obstruct access way, exits or passages to the
equipment
- Sufficient access shall be maintained to allow maintenance in a safe manner.
- The installation shall be positioned to eliminate deleterious effects from hot
or cold surfaces, condensate spillage, vibration, near hazardous chemicals,
etc.
- The elevation of the installed instrument shall be checked as per drawing.

6.2.6

The installed support shall be inspected to ensure it is level, vertical and the
whole assembly is rigid. When supports are installed on precast concrete
foundation, the fixings shall be checked to ensure they are tight and secure.
Supports bolted to structural steel shall be checked to ensure all bolts, etc.
are correctly installed and securely fixed. Supports shall not be fixed to hand
railings or similar, non rigid structures. When supports are to be welded to
structural steel, touch up and repair of painting shall be done.

6.3

F & G Panel and Termination Racks

6.3.1

Installation of panel and racks shall be carried out in accordance with EPCMD2-QM00-JEP-CI-001.

6.3.2

Inspection results shall be recorded on form EPCMD-2-QM00-FMT-CI-015.
