conducted by EPC Contractor and OWNER / PMC for entire facility. Checklist/deficiency
generated by safety audit team shall be corrected / rectified by EPC Contractor at no time &
cost impact.
The EPC Contractor shall submit the list of systems and prepare list of pre- commissioning
activities to be performed for all applicable disciplines against each system including flushing
schemes for the piping sub-systems. The above details shall be prepared and submitted to
OWNER / PMC at least 60 days before start of the pre-commissioning activities.
The process systems shall be considered `Ready for Commissioning' when all the facilities
have been completed along with their auxiliaries and support facilities in every respect
including charging of lubes, chemicals, preparation of solution, any last minute modifications,
if any, as recommended by the OWNER
/ PMC. All temporary structures, scaffolding etc. used for carrying out the pre- commissioning
works shall be removed, all the blinds shall be put into position as required by P&IDs and

commissioning, the EPC Contractor shall submit proposal to the OWNER / PMC giving
details of the programme to be followed during commissioning. This shall be reviewed by
OWNER / PMC. The EPC Contractor shall arrange trained operation team comprising of
commissioning manager, shift in-charge, main control room operators (DCS and local

The EPC Contractor is also required to provide on the job training to OWNER’s operation
personnel by associating them in all the day to day pre-commissioning, commissioning and
maintenance activities and process operations, however, responsibility for adequate manning
the facility shall be that of EPC Contractor. After successful commissioning of the facility as
above the same shall be handed over to the OWNER for operation. In case of any constraint
in achieving the above process parameters in the facility, the same shall be communicated by
the EPC Contractor to the OWNER / PMC in writing. This shall be reviewed jointly by
OWNER / PMC to arrive at a decision on whether the constraint is on account of reasons
attribute to EPC Contractor or not. The action in either case shall be according to the relevant
provisions provided elsewhere in the contract.
EPC Contractor in some cases may be required to do part commissioning of the
mechanically completed sections of the facilities as per directives from the OWNER. Upon
successful commissioning of the facilities the same shall be taken over by the OWNER for
day to day operation and maintenance only. Final takeover shall be subject to compliance
to all the contractual obligations by the EPC Contractor. Once the facilities are successfully
commissioned, EPC Contractor shall issue FORMAT-V (as per format given in Annexure-I) to
OWNER / PMC for take over the of the facilities from EPC Contractor
All the utilities like air, cooling water, raw water, steam, power, instrument air etc. shall be
provided at the conditions and locations given in the package and drawings. Any upgrade, if
required, either for pre-commissioning or commissioning shall be carried out by the EPC
