Next Planned Update: 1 June 2013 Proposal and Detail Design Documentation
1 Scope
1.1 This Saudi Aramco Engineering Procedure (SAEP) establishes the guidelines
used by Engineering Services (ES) when conducting electronic and hard copy
formal engineering reviews of Project Proposals and Detailed Design packages
relating to capital and non-capital projects. Requests for these reviews are
initiated by Saudi Aramco Project Management (SAPMT). This SAEP does not
apply to Design Basis Scoping Papers, Project Construction Method documents,
or routine consultation.
1.2 The primary intent of a formal engineering review of Project Proposal and
Detailed Design documents is to identify noncompliance with the Standards,
Specifications, mandatory Standard Drawings, Codes and other mandatory
engineering documents applicable to the project.
Depending on the type of review (see Para. 2.3), the engineering review may
also provide a check on the engineering soundness, concepts, and calculations
used in the design. In addition, it can provide an opportunity to offer alternative
design suggestions to bring uniformity and cost effectiveness to Saudi Aramco
facilities, recognizing that the later in the project these suggestions are offered,
the more difficult it is to incorporate them.
1.3 In addition to this SAEP, other Saudi Aramco Engineering Procedures may
apply to engineering reviews of Project Proposals and Detail Design documents
(e.g., SAEP-13, "Project Environmental Assessments", SAEP-16, "Process
Computer Execution Guide", SAEP-21, "Royalty/Custody Metering Facilities
Execution Guides", etc.).
1.4 Reviews (hard copy or electronic) conducted by Engineering Services do not

relieve Saudi Aramco Project Management Team of their responsibility to
produce a design that is sound and meets all relevant Saudi Aramco, Industry,
International and National Codes and Standards.
2 Definitions
2.1 Organizations and Reviewing Entities
Engineering Departments, Engineering Services - These terms refer to all

departments reporting to the Vice President, Engineering Services.
Saudi Aramco Project Management Team (SAPMT) - The SAPMT is the Saudi
Aramco organization responsible for overall project activities. The SAPMT has
full responsibility for project design, procurement and construction.
Page 2 of 60


2.2 Review Documentation
Project Proposal - A document which establishes the detailed design scope, cost
estimate basis, and schedule for a proposed facility from the conceptual
requirements included in the Design Basis Scoping Paper. This includes the
proposed facility size and general layout and the appropriate functional and
performance specifications. Project Proposals should be of sufficient detail to
prepare a ± 10% accuracy ER estimate, provide sufficient technical information
for proponent review and (where applicable) provide sufficient information to
obtain LSTK contract bids. (Reference: SAEP-14, "Project Proposal")
Detailed Design - A set of documents used for project construction and material
procurement. Detailed Design of a facility is normally carried out after the
Project Proposal Meeting and Expenditure Request Approval (ERA).
2.3 Review Types
Conceptual Review - A general review including a random, spot check of the

engineering soundness, concepts and calculation methods used in the design.
Areas identified as being deficient will be pointed out.
Standards Compliance Review - Compliance with applicable Saudi Aramco,

Industry, International and National Codes and Standards will be examined.
Any detected deviations will be referenced by the specific standard and
paragraph number, if feasible.
Comprehensive Review - A combination of a Conceptual Review and a

Standards Compliance Review.
Special Review - All applicable calculations, drawings and specifications will be

subjected to a thorough review. If requested by the SAPMT, Engineering
Services will provide assistance to rectify specific known or suspected design
deficiencies.
Technical Review Team (TRT) Review - A review carried out by a TRT.

Usually the TRT is a multi-disciplinary team that will go to the design
contractors' offices to review and discuss the design with SAPMT and the design
contractor. A TRT review is usually a Comprehensive Review.
2.4 Review Methods
Engineering reviews are generally organized based on one of the two following
methods:
Across-the-Board Review (ABR) - This is a review simultaneously carried out

by all involved engineering disciplines.
Page 3 of 60


Discipline Specific Review (DSR) - This is a review carried out by a specific

engineering discipline. Attachment 1 provides general guidelines and other
details for this review method.
These methods may be accomplished by routing hardcopy documents or by

utilizing an electronic review process whereby engineering review agent (s)
conduct a review at their PC desktops. Refer to Attachment 3 "e-Review
Guidelines" for information and resources when conducting an electronic
engineering review.

Note: Contact the Supervisor of the PS&CD/Project Information

Center (874-7199) regarding questions related to e-Review.
8. e-Review Roles and Workflow
8.1 Drawing Review System
The e-Review Drawing Review System, which is managed using

ProjectWise software, employs a workflow structure to enable access to
the drawings for users based on their roles in the electronic review.
PICU creates these roles for each participant in the system according to
Page 19 of 60


the participant organizations' assignments. These assignments must be

submitted electronically prior to any electronic reviews for a project
using the "e-Review User Nomination Form" available from PICU.
Participant organizations include both PMT and reviewing agencies.
8.1.1 Roles
8.1.1.1 In e-Review, users are always able to view drawings

(read access), but their ability to add, approve or
release comments on drawings (write access) is
determined by their role and the permissions
assigned to that role at different states in the
workflow. There are four roles in the e-Review
system. A user must be assigned to one of these
roles and may be assigned to more than one at a
time. These roles are:
• Reviewer
• Supervisor
• Coordinator
• Administrator
8.1.1.2 Role Assignments
It is the responsibility of each organization

participating in e-Review, including PMT's and
reviewing agencies, to designate the role or roles
that they wish to assign to their personnel prior to
the start of any of their electronic reviews. In
making these assignments, the organization shall
observe the following criteria:
Reviewers: Any personnel that will review

drawings and make comments on them should be
assigned a Reviewer role. A review agency can
have as many Reviewers assigned as required, and
reviewers may be members of more than one group.
Supervisors: In general there should be no more

than one active Supervisor assigned for a single unit
or group organized by discipline. Usually the
Supervisor role will be assigned to a Unit
Supervisor, Division Head or his designee.
Page 20 of 60


Coordinators: The Coordinator role should be

assigned to the person that has been designated by
his department as the single point of contact for
particular project's reviews and may be the
Coordinator for more than one project. There
should be only one active Coordinator per
department for any single project.
Administrators: The Administrator role is reserved

to e-Review System Administrators in PIC.
8.1.2 Workflow Structure
8.1.2.1 Workflow States
The workflow structure determines the permissions

that the roles have at different states in the drawing
review process. In e-Review, workflows are
comprised of four states that are executed
sequentially. These states are:
Reviewing - drawings under review, comments

added.
Approval - Supervisor checks/approves his unit's

comments
Release - Department Coordinator officially releases

comments
Archive - Administrator passes comments to PMT.
8.1.2.2 Permissions
Permissions for user roles may be different for each

state in the workflow structure. The permissions
that each role has during each of the workflow states
are as follows:

8.2 Document Review System
The e-Review Document Review system is a web-based system that does

not employ either roles or workflow at present. However, it is
recommended that document comments be approved by the same
Supervisors/Coordinators as the drawing comments prior to their release.
9. Drawing/Document Disciplines
Drawings and documents are classified by discipline according to the Saudi

Aramco drawing index system as defined in the Saudi Aramco Drafting Manual.
In the e-Review workflow structure, drawings are routed to the reviewing
agencies based on the drawing indexes that each agency elects to review. Each
review agency shall list the drawing indexes that it will review using the
electronic form "e-Review User Nominations" available from PIC.
Page 22 of 60


• Attachment "D" – Saudi Aramco Drawing Indexes, contains a list of these

indexes and their definitions.
• Attachment "E" – Drawing Types and Indexes, contains a list of the standard
drawing types and their abbreviations used in Saudi Aramco, along with
their indexes.
10. Review Notifications
Notifications of a review will only be sent to the Coordinators and Supervisors

of reviewing agencies when a review package has been received that contains
drawings or documents with indexes that the agency has specified that it wants
to review.
Commentary Note:
If a specific review only contains Index "T" communications drawings, then only
the reviewing agencies that have indicated that they wish to review Index "T"
drawings will be notified of the review.
11. Responsibilities
11.1 Saudi Aramco Project Management Team (SAPMT)
11.1.1 The following is a list of responsibilities that the SAPMT(s)

must adhere to in order to successfully conduct an electronic
review:
11.1.1.1 Design Packages
Design packages shall:
• Comply with SAEP-303
• Include a cover sheet as specified in SAEP-303

with detailed information regarding the review
package, including a list of the percentages of
completion for each discipline.
Commentary Note:
Review packages, i.e., electrical, civil, are to

be completed to the percentages specified for
review of that discipline prior to submittal.
• Have a title for each review package, i.e.,

"HDGP Process 1 @ 30%".
Page 23 of 60


• Have all of the necessary design drawings and/or

documents that have an association between
them in order to conduct a review for a specific
engineering discipline. For example, Cause-
and-Effect instrumentation drawings rely
heavily on references to P&ID drawings, Basic
Logic Diagrams and Narratives (written
explanation of the logic steps) and any review of
such instrumentation drawings must include all
of the references as well.
• Shall not send packages that convey a piecemeal

approach to the review content.
Commentary Notes:
Example of a complete design package of a

building:
• Scope of Review
• Drawing indexes R, Q, M
• Structural calculations for all of the
structural elements: load derivations,
structural modeling & analysis, and design
of each structural element such as beams,
columns, footings, etc.
Example of a piecemeal approach for the

same building:
• Drawing index R by itself.
• Later, drawing indexes R & Q and/or M for
the building frames with complete
structural calculations for the frames.
• Then, drawing indexes R & Q for the
foundations with complete calculations for
the foundations.
• Shall not send packages that are duplications of

other design drawings (e.g., a facility may have
two substations that are identical with the only
difference being their locations.
