QUALITY PLAN ________________________________________

1. Issuance and Control
The responsibility for the issuance and accountability control of the program rests with the
Project Quality Assurance Manager. He will determine those organizational units performing
activities affecting quality; and shall provide accountable copies of the project personnel.
2. Authority for Quality Assurance Program Plan Revisions and Deviations
Revisions to, and deviations from, the Quality Assurance Program Plan are authorized when
recommended by the Quality Assurance Manager and approved in writing by the Project
Manager. A revision is defined as a permanent change to the Quality Assurance Program
Plan which is distributed by the Quality Assurance Manager in the form of printed
replacement pages. A Program Deviation is a temporary change to the QA Program Plan to
permit a particular function to be completed on a individual case basis.
3. Method for Revision and Deviation
A revision to, or a deviation from, the Quality Assurance Program Plan is issued by the
Quality Assurance Manager. Request for revision or deviation is initiated by any supervisory
personnel using the change request procedure or non-conformance procedure. The request is
forwarded by the initiator to the Quality Assurance Manager. Upon his preliminary approval
of the request, the following steps are taken:
a) The request will be circulated for review and comment to cognizant management and
technical personnel as determined by the Project Manager.
b) If upon completion of the comment and review phase, the revision or deviation request is
not approved, the request will be returned to the initiator starting the reasons for
disapproval.
c) If upon completion of the comment and review phase, the revision or deviation request is
not approved, the approved revision or deviation will be issued to all holders of the QA
Program Plan. When issued, revisions will be assigned a number and effective date.
When a revision is issued a new list of effective pages will be forwarded with the
revisions.
When issued, deviations will be assigned a number and given both an effective and
expiration date. Periodically, the Quality Assurance Manager will issue a summary list of
effective deviations.
4. Quality Assurance Organization

report or memo shall be noted.
9. Reporting Discrepancies
Three ways are available for the Quality Assurance Manager to inform the Project Manager
of a problem. They are:
Memo
Discrepancy Method
Non Conformance Method
A memo is used when procedures were not followed, but no benefit can be gained by going
back and completing the overlooked procedure. Such a memo serves to inform those
involved the procedures were not followed in an effort to avoid similar occurrences in the
future.
A Discrepancy Report will be issued when corrective action is needed to complete a quality
control step that has been omitted or done inadequately. This report consists of three parts:
notification of the discrepancy, corrective action and closeout.
When a violation is severe and the quality of work is in serious question, a Nonconformance
Report will be used.
a) Discrepancy Reporting
The Quality Assurance Manager describes the discrepancy and sends the report to the
Project Manager for a recommendation of corrective action. Copies are also sent to the
responsible Group Head, the Responsible Manager, Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Operating Officer. Additional distribution is made at the discretion of the Quality
Assurance Manager.
b) Corrective Action
Upon notification of a discrepancy, the Project Manager develops a plan of corrective
action and returns a copy the report describing the recommended action to the Manger of
QA. The Quality Assurance Manager makes distribution of report again, including the
recommended corrective action to the same people who received the initial notification.
c) Closeout
When corrective action is completed, the Project Manager signs the Discrepancy Report
and returns it to the Quality Assurance Manager. The Quality Assurance Manager must
then assure himself that the corrective action was indeed taken and was effective. He then
reissues the report showing that it has been closed out.
d) Discrepancy Summary
The Quality Assurance Manager issues a summary of all discrepancies on each project
monthly. This summary shows a brief description of each discrepancy and shows what
corrective action is planned and whether or not it has been taken.
10. QA/QC Schedule
The QA/QC schedule is dictated by the Project Schedule. Using the Project Schedule and the
flowcharts, which show the QA/QC activities, project staff will be aware of the QA/QC
schedule. In general, the Quality Control functions are holding on the work. Quality
Assurance functions should be timely, but will not be hold points.

QUALITY PLAN ________________________________________

1. General
It is the SOCAR CONSTRUCTION’s stated policy to deliver a quality product, satisfying in

all respects the requirements of SOCAR CONSTRUCTION and the client. This policy
applies to both SOCAR CONSTRUCTION’s work, and work performed by its
subcontractors and is carried out through the application of sound engineering, procurement,
and construction methods. SOCAR CONSTRUCTION’s Quality Assurance / Quality
Control program provides a continuing review function to verify that the work is performed
in accordance with approved procedures and specifications. The key components of the
Construction Quality Assurance Program are:
Field Procedures
Field Monitoring and Program Administration
Quality Audits
Follow–up
Quality Assurance / Quality Control Field Procedures (QA/QC FP)
SOCAR CONSTRUCTION’s QA/QC FP provides a framework for our Quality Assurance /
Quality Control Program. It states Company Policy to be adhered to in our areas of operation
and provides guidance to, our project personnel so that their responsibilities and standards
for quality are clear and well defined. It also provides a mechanism to verify that the quality
conformance is inspected and documented, as required, to the manual standards.
The QA/QC FP outlines the areas of administration and project control to provide a
comprehensive, total-quality project. The QA/QC FP inspection forms included in the
manual serve as a guide for the inspection and documentation requirements for each area of
work. These procedures are further developed into detailed, working documents that are
project specific, based on the particular project specifications, contract requirements, local
jurisdictional authority requirements, and specific vendor recommendations. The procedures
and work methods in place cover the work nominally encountered in the construction of a
CB industrial plant.
SOCAR CONSTRUCTION’s QA/QC FP, assigned to each Construction Manager, offers
specific guidelines for accomplishing QA/QC activities. SOCAR CONSTRUCTION's
QA/QC FP is proprietary, and is intended for the sole use of SOCAR CONSTRUCTION.
2. Field Monitoring and Program Administration
The following summarizes the type of administrative and control functions considered for
each major work item associated with a standard industrial plant. Within each area is a
general discussion indicating the typical detail considered in developing the project specific
QA/QC FP.
a) Earthwork and Sitework

Quality Control methods for earthwork generally follow the recommendations of the
Geotechnical Report as conveyed in the drawings and specifications. Lines and grades are
verified by the survey team and inspection of the materials are carried out by the SOCAR
CONSTRUCTION field staff in conjunction with the Geotechnical Consultant. When
applicable, material testing of densities and other pertinent soil data are coordinated
through local testing firms. Excavation and backfill placement techniques are monitored
by the SOCAR CONSTRUCTION field staff and documented to ensure conformance to
the specifications and safety standards.
b) Buildings and Structures

All buildings are designed, fabricated, and built in accordance with the latest edition of
the applicable specifications, codes and standards. Building materials, equipment,
QUALITY PLAN ________________________________________

systems and appurtenances are inspected upon receipt by the SOCAR CONSTRUCTION
field staff for conformance to specifications. Erection and installation of the material,
equipment, systems and appurtenances are performed in accordance with approved
drawings and manufacturer's recommendations.
Equipment and system tests are made and/or witnessed by the field staff on all installed
equipment and systems to verify that the building components meet the performance
criteria. Tests which may be included are HVAC, electrical, plumbing, communications
and fire protection and/or any other applicable system. Test results are witnessed, signed
off, and recorded.
c) Structural Steel
Structural steel materials are certified as meeting the required sizes and the grades prior
to fabrication. Steel fabrication plants are inspected and approved by SOCAR
CONSTRUCTION. Approved steel fabrication plants have Quality Control Program for
the fabrication and welding of structural steel in place. This Quality Control Program
addresses the welding procedures, production techniques, consumable control and
fabrication control required to produce steel structures to the project specifications.
Fabricated steel is erected in accordance with the approved erection drawings, and the
field staff verifies that the correct erection sequence, bolt up, plumbing and leveling of
the steel to the final steel structure is performed.
d) Concrete
The supply and placement of reinforced concrete are done in accordance with the
American Concrete Institute (ACI) and the project specifications. Local batch plants are
inspected for their ability to produce quality concrete in conformance with the project
specifications. Concrete suppliers are required to have demonstrated QCP in place for
producing consistent, quality concrete. The SOCAR CONSTRUCTION field staff
inspects placing techniques to ensure transportation, consolidation, and protection of the
concrete meets project requirements.
The SOCAR CONSTRUCTION field staff will ensure reinforcing steel is of proper size
and grade (for mill certificates) and is placed in accordance with the drawings.
e) Equipment
Equipment that is to be supplied and installed on the project is inspected upon receipt to
ensure it meets the requirements set forth in the equipment requisition and purchase
order. Where manufacturers design submissions are required, they are verified as
approved by the Engineer. Vendors are also requested to provide proper performance and
maintenance data. Equipment storage procedures are maintained in accordance with the
vendor requirements and recorded on Material Receiving Reports to verify the condition
and temporary maintenance requirements. Installation of equipment follows the Vendor's
suggested procedure, and the equipment is checked for level, alignment, and bolt down
prior to testing.
Equipment tests are made and/or witnessed on installed equipment by the SOCAR
CONSTRUCTION field staff to verify the component meets the performance criteria.
Test results, along with alignment and bolt-down data, are recorded on the appropriate
Quality Assurance document. Where engineer, Owner, or ASME Code representative
request witnessing, they are notified by the field staff. In the case of subcontracted
package work, the Subcontractor must demonstrate an equivalent Quality
Assurance/Quality Control Program prior to commencing the work.
f) Instruments
QUALITY PLAN ________________________________________

Instrument equipment, materials and installation are in accordance with the Instrument
Society of America (ISA), or other recommended practices. Vendors of materials and
equipment provide design data or material reports for approval prior to the supplying
components to the project. Material receiving, storage and installation follow the vendor
recommendations and the project specifications. The SOCAR CONSTRUCTION field
staffs inspect material and equipment upon receipt and inspect instruments and control
systems during mounting, installation, calibration and testing. Direct systems test are
made and/or witnessed by the field staff, signed and recorded.
3. Quality Audits
Quality Audits provide an independent evaluation and check of the quality-related activities
and procedures used on SOCAR CONSTRUCTION projects. Audits are carried out on both
SOCAR CONSTRUCTION’s quality performance and on that of its sub contractors.
4. Follow-up
Follow-up is essential to verify that commitments to correct deficiencies are made, and that
the deficiencies are corrected. The Construction Manager provides initial follow up. Regular
quality audits supplement field control. Knowledgeable personnel are available to our site
staff from engineering department for quality problem solving during all stages of

Khabarovsk, RF. The works related with the project are:
• Piping Prefabrication and Erection,

• Equipment Erection Works
The scope of work and related construction activities in these projects involves a lot of
subactivities which shows a great variance in nature. The most common ones are:
Piping Prefabrications , spool manufacturing,

Equipment Erections
3.2. Hazard Identification
The types of hazards encountered in this project related directly with construction activities are:
• falling into excavated pits and trenches

• crushing / asphyxiation due to collapse of excavations
• being hit by falling objects
• being crushed by plant equipment / vehicles
• being crushed by rolling pipes
• impact from slewing excavators and cranes
• injury from improper manual lifting or failure to use appropriate lifting equipment
• injury from cutting tools
• being electrocuted by live electrical equipment
• fire (from various sources)
The type of hazards which is more general are:
• having an heart attach as a result of work overload

• loose of consciousness as a result of low blood pressure
• getting a social disease
• being effected from infection disease due to living together with others
• getting sick due to lack of hygiene
• leak or disposal of environmentally harmful liquids over accepted standards
• emission of environmentally harmful exhaust gases over accepted standards
3.3. Assessment of Probability and Effects of Potential Hazards
The hazard assessment is performed in four steps:
• First step: Description of the activity

• Second step: Assessment of potential hazards
• Third step: Assessment of probability of happening
6/15
• Fourth step: Assessment of impact of consequences of happening
The activities in the project and relevant potential hazards are described in section 3.1 and 3.2
respectively. The preventive measures is determined on the basis of the possibility and effect of
harm to human beings, material damage and environmental pollution and taken into consideration
the following:
• Nature of work
1. Labor requirement (health, physiology, psychology, skills, training, experience etc.)

2. Materials involved (flammable, toxic, pressurized etc.)
3. Equipment operation (moving, rotating, energy supply etc.)
4. Working environment (crowd, accessible, escape routes etc.)
5. Working location (underground, elevated, confined space etc.)
6. Interfacing activities (any other operation nearby the work area or related with system)
7. Indirect products (heat, chips, dust, gas, liquid etc. and their effects on human and
environment)
• Lack of information / awareness

• Lack of control on others
• Changes in conditions by time
• Presence of error enforcing conditions
The line supervisors will make an hazard assessment for the specific activity at the work planning
stage. He will use the standard HSE procedures and prepare a new procedure specific to the job.
He will clearly state the safety measures and take project managers / site chief approval and then
would discuss these in toolbox meetings with the work force or subcontractors before start of the
job.
3.4. Determining Preventive & Protective Measures for Potential Hazards
The preventive & protective measures can be classified as follows:
• planning of the work (including changes in conditions by time)

• staff training
• assigning responsibilities to individuals
• motivation of staff for active participation
• labeling, warning signs and barriers for potential hazards
• use of protective equipment
• use of proper and well maintained equipment
• use of work permit system for HSE critical activities
• certificates of HSE control for specific activities before start of work
• execution of the work according to HSE procedures based on codes and standards
• carrying out inspections & audits
Based on the above listing, the procedures & instructions required for this project are produced
for each specific work. These procedures & instructions are listed in section 7 and the paper
copies are given as attachment to this plan. Any other specific procedure required for a work
should be initiated and produced by a member of project management team with the support from
head office HSE section. This activity will be shown in HSE activity plan & schedule.
7/15
3.5. Contingency Planning & Emergency Response Procedures
In execution of a work, there are lots of parameters which are independent of each other.
Therefore, the first level of the preventive and protective measures taken sometimes fails and the
workforce is subject to hazards directly. Depending on the impact of consequence of an accident,
it is necessary to take second level of preventive or protective measure. This is defined as
contingency planning.
Emergency procedures are parts of contingency planning after accidents happen. There is always
potential for an accident whatever you do, due to lack of integrity in HSE management system or
other reasons which is out of control. In order to minimize to impact of the accident and to
prevent time losses for remedial action, the following cases are classified as emergency in this
project and emergency procedures are prepared:
• sickness like heart attacks, loss of conscious

• injury with severe bleeding, broken bone, risk of loss of a body organ, loss of conscious etc.
• fire
• vehicle accident
• earthquakes, water drowning, land slide or soil collapse
The procedures defines who is doing what, in which sequence and includes the response
capabilities available, communication ways, escape / evacuation roots and plans, rescue and
intervention responsibilities and methods. The external connections and the communication
procedures for emergency situations are also provided.
3.6. Drills & Exercises
The procedures and systems developed will be tested with drills and exercises for confirmation of
understanding by the staff to check the performance and to detect any inconvenience and review
for improvement. These drills will alert all the persons involved likely to be affected by
emergency conditions and to alert the people and equipment comprising the response capability.
The frequency of these drills are once in two months.
The type of drills are:
• fire / explosion evacuation

• fire intervention
• road traffic accident
• Beside the drills, the understanding and capability of staff, performance of equipment will be
checked with exercises as a part of system testing. The exercises are considered for use of
alarm equipment, use of communication means, use of evacuation equipment, use of
intervention equipment.

Purpose of this Document
The purpose was to explain the precautions taken during the wintertime to ensure that
required productivity levels can be attained.
The aim was to ensure that the machinery remains in working condition and working areas
have temperatures comfortable for the workers in the harsh wintertime of the region.
We aimed to have temperatures over 0°C, but believed that temperatures as low as ‐10°C
might be acceptable during the harshest conditions, which were not expected to be frequent
and abundant.
Winterization
Necessity Of a Plan
In Russia, Equipment designed for use in
the winter particularly extreme cold conditions also undergoes a
temperature can "winterization" process. Many complex devices
drop to ‐60C, making (automobiles, electronics and radios) as well as
it one of the coldest common materials (metals, rubbers, petroleum
places to live in the lubricants) are not designed to operate at extremely
low temperatures and must be winterized to operate
world.
without severe damage from the elements in such
conditions.
Winterization Plan
The Plan
1 Winterization of Equipments
2 Winterization of Work Areas
3 Winterization for specific
work items
4 Other Provisions
Winterization of Construction Equipment
Before the winter, all construction
equipment was prepared for the winter. In this regard,
the maintenance suggested by the manufacturer was
carried out. The oils and hydraulic was replaced with
those suitable for wintertime in the region and anti‐
freezing agents was added to all fluids.
Winterization for Vehicles
The most important step in preparing Vehicles for winter is the replacement
of fluids with those suitable for winter conditions in the region (including but not limited to
application of Anti‐Freezing Agents). As an additional precaution, the vehicles were kept in
a proper place where they were kept ready for utilization.
Winterization for Crawlers & Large Equipment
Since moving such equipment to and from the proper places
was not possible, they were kept at working conditions at or near
their working areas. A dedicated team, heated the engines before
start up in order to run the engines in ideal conditions.
Winterization of Offices & WorkShops
SOCAR Construction had a Central Heating System for its TSF
Area; & completed the construction of the Boiler Room for the same.
Workshops had own Central Heating Systems, which was supported with electrical and diesel
heaters as necessary.
Containers at Site, which primarily served as offices for Site Supervision, was insulated and
heated with Electrical Heaters.
Winterization
Winterization of Piperacks
Pipe Racks was covered on both sides with un‐
insulated Tarpaulin at two sides from top to bottom to the level of
scaffolding (in order to break the wind), and provide additional
tents and heating at working locations. The tents, which are made
of fireproof material, was heated. Electrical Heaters on higher levels
were used.
Tarpaulin cover and tents were segmented and each segment was arranged in such a way that they could
be opened easily and quickly both from the inside and the outside in order to allow quick evacuation in case of an
emergency.
Since the power requirement for
such setup was high, SOCAR Construction
believed that extra generators were
needed to compensate for the additional
power requirement. SOCAR
Construction’s calculations showed that
two 450‐kVA Generators would be
sufficient for such requirement.
SOCAR Construction
also planned to have
Junction Boxes to provide
power along the Pipe Racks.
Provided Winterization was
used for both Steel Structure
Erection and Piping Works.
Winterization of Columns (for internals)
This applies to the Internals Installation for Columns C‐11330, C‐11350, C‐11360 and
C‐11370, however, may be extended to cover the Installation of other Internals. The heating was
provided by means of Electrical Heaters. The level just above the active manhole (i.e. the manhole
being used to deliver the materials required for the installation of Internals at the current level) was
covered by Tarpaulin to reduce the volume to be heated. Similarly, the level below the current level
was also closed by Tarpaulin.
In order to improve heat preservation, an insulating jacket was installed around the working level.
Tarpaulin covering was arranged in a way to allow the workers inside to evacuate easily and quickly in
case of an emergency.
Winterization of Heaters
SOCAR Construction
provides jacketing around the
working levels and used
Electrical Heaters inside.
SOCAR Construction closes
the Convection Modules with
Tarpaulin and provide heating
with Electrical Heaters.
The arrangements is made in
such a fashion to allow quick
evacuation in case of an
emergency.
Winterization of Rotary Equipment
SOCAR Construction covers the Compressors completely with Tarpaulin and
provided heating by means of Electrical and Diesel Heaters. The covering allowed quick
evacuation in case of an emergency. Other provisions as stated in the Vendor Manuals was
taken. If temporary heating systems were present within the equipment, they were plugged
in to keep the core temperature of the rotating parts within acceptable limits as per Vendor
instructions.In general, oils and fluids of Pumps and other Rotary Equipment was substituted
with ones suitable for wintertime if required.
Winterization for Around Equipment Piping
Winterization for Around‐
Equipment Piping is made in a way similar to that of
the Pipe Racks; however, instead of covering the
entire area with Tarpaulin, the covering is limited to
working areas. The tents, which are made of
fireproof material, are heated by Diesel Heaters on
Ground Level and Electrical Heaters on higher
levels.
Winterization
Winterization for Welding & NDT tests
Welder Helpers had a Propane
Cylinder and Torch handy to preheat the Pipe
when necessary.
Electrodes and other Welding Consumables were
stored in ambient‐controlled environments.
SOCAR Construction’s NDT
devices are capable of working at low
temperatures so having an environment
comfortable for workers would be sufficient for
NDT Activities at site.
For Penetrant test, temperatures around +10°C
was required; which was obtained by providing
additional Heaters inside the Tents. Since this
activity was only required for very few joints,
SOCAR Construction believed this would not
present a major problem.
Other Provisions – Electrical Setup
SOCAR Construction studies the
current Lighting Setup at Site and provides covered areas (Pipe
Racks, Internals, Tents, etc.) needed to be illuminated
separately. SOCAR Construction provided permanent lighting at
suitable locations around the Site; but the Illumination for Tents
and other covered areas was designed to be portable.
As explained above, SOCAR Construction studied the Power
requirement at the peak; and extra two Generators, with 450
kVA capacity each, became sufficient to compensate for the
additional requirement with some reserve.
The Setup inside the Rest Shelters included time‐controlled
switches to ensure that the temperature inside the Shelter was
maintained at night.
Other Provisions – Mobilization Team
SOCAR Construction had a dedicated Mobilization Team,

which prepares the tents and areas for future works (this includes heating and illumination
of the Tent prior to work start).
SOCAR Construction has a dedicated Electrical Team who would roam the Site continuously
and provide maintenance and repair for the Heaters, Lights and Electrical Setup. SOCAR
Construction dedicates two teams that shifted during day time and night in order to
maintain all electrical apparatus.
