1. OBJECT
To define quality assurance as a set of planned and systematic activities, implanted within the quality
system and proven upon request, to provide the necessary confidence that an item will meet applicable
quality standards.
2. SCOPE
Quality assurance applies at all execution stages, ranging from Basic Engineering, Detail Engineering,
Stockpiling, Construction, Pre-Commissioning, Commissioning until Facility Start-Up.
Before executing any on-site works units, the quality of all products must be confirmed, as well as of
equipment and externalized services. This involves the following general phases:
 Design Verification: an internal check is conducted to make sure that equipment and works unit
specifications, and the project’s technical requirements, follow the design defined. This will be
carried out before Engineering commences the works.
 Study of materials, equipment and services: this ensures that they meet the planned specifications
or, if not related to the project, that they have been approved by the SPV.
 Stockpiling Verification: an internal check is conducted to make sure that equipment and material
specifications, in the bid request process, are correct. This will be carried out before calling for bids,
by Engineering or by the Inspector Manager, if entrusted with the task.
 Supplier Evaluation: this is particularly important in the case of new suppliers. If considered
necessary, a visit will be paid to the workshop or factory, by the managers appointed, before the
Contract or Order is formalized, to check whether the potential supplier is able to guarantee supply
following the purchase specifications, within the timeframe established in the Purchase request
and meeting all quality parameters.
 Bid. The stockpiling area will make a call for bids along with its specifications and PPI, to the supplier
or subcontractor in question, which will issue a technical document describing the main features
of the supply request, based on the requirements.
Project No. Project

Date Rev. Pag. of
Document n°/Title
23/05/2024 01_ 4 7
 Comparative. This is carried out by the Purchasing Area, to check various supplier bids, both in
terms of conformity with specifications or technical/organizational requirements or other
documents received by the supplier.
 Order/Contract: A document indicating an interest in completing an effective purchase from a
supplier.
In Quality terms, a contract or order will contain:
- The scope of supply. Description and number of units.
- Plans and all types of documents identifying the supply or service.
- Specifications.
- PPI.
- Bid (technical and descriptive features of the supply or service).
- Contact person in the supplier’s Workshop to schedule inspections, tests or checks. This
information may be provided at the first meeting held with the Supplier/Subcontractor.
- Any other document that Stockpiling wants to include.
2.1. SCOPE OF CIVIL AND MARINE WORKS
Quality assurance in civil and marine works will involve the materials and execution of works units.
For materials, the idea is to ensure that all of them have been included in the works with the necessary
characteristics. Consequently, a follow-up is necessary starting with their study and evaluation until they
are added to the works unit.
Next, tasks would begin to ensure that the material requested has reached the site in adequate condition,
that it is identified and meets the necessary specifications. To do this, PPI provisions will be followed, as
well as Trial Plans and any other instructions:
 For prefabricated material, ex works inspections will be necessary in order to fulfill PPIs.
 Check upon Receipt: The person in charge of receiving material on site will conduct the checks
determined in the Working Instructions. If there is no individual Instruction, basic checks will be
carried out involving visual inspections of conditions and/or random geometric checks.
In either case, the outcome will be registered in the PPIs.
Project No. Project

Date Rev. Pag. of
Document n°/Title
23/05/2024 01_ 5 7
 Inspection upon qualitative Receipt of material: Alongside the foregoing, the Quality Area will carry
out, or will instruct the execution of, inspections to guarantee that the material meets the
requirements established in the purchase documents. To do this, a verification will be completed
on the documentation delivered, quality features or technical evaluations and trial evidence, if
necessary.
 During execution of the works units, checks, tests and inspections will be completed, as indicated
in applicable specific procedures, recording the outcome in each PPI and following parameters and
characteristics established in procedures, PPIs, plans or any other technical document backing up
the Quality Plan and the client’s requirements. The main stages involved are described below:
- Inspection and Tests during execution of civil and marine works: excavation, concrete
provided on site, placement and assembly of reinforcements, execution and placement of
the sewage pipe, etc.
- Tests on the tightening of screws.
- Watertightness tests, specifically focusing on electricity boxes or control and
instrumentation wiring.
- Lastly, final tests and pre-commissioning or commissioning of civil works will be carried out,
as foreseen in the Trial Plans, to certify that the unit has been correctly executed.
The SPV will receive the unit once the final tests have been carried out and passed, and no unresolved non-
conformities exist in relation to the unit.
2.2. SCOPE OF ELECTROMECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
Once a purchase is formalized, the following stages will be followed for the quality assurance of
electromechanical and electrical equipment:
 Manufacturing. Steps taken by the supplier to ensure its supply, following the Project’s
requirements and any formalized contractual clauses. Next are the activities that need to take place
during the manufacturing process:

2. SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
Oman Power and Water Procurement Company (OPWP) conducted an international Bid Process for the
design, finance, construction, ownership, financing, testing, commissioning, operation and maintenance of
a high efficiency desalination facility.
The Capital Desalination Company SAOC, international leading company in seawater desalination, has
developed a comprehensive approach for the development of this Al Ghubrah III IWP, including the design,
finance, construction, testing, commissioning and operation under a BOO framework of a high efficiency
plant based on the Seawater Reverse Osmosis technology (SWRO), with an output capacity of 300.000 m3
per day (66MIGD) of Potable Water in nominal conditions (GCWC) and 315.000 m3 per day during exigency
periods (TCWC).
The IWP will be connected to the Al Ghubrah III IWP Primary Substation with 132 kV cables from the OETC
Ghubrah 2 to grid station. 132 kV GIS feeders to the IWP 132/13.2 kV Transformer and to 13.2kv switchgear,
including the cable terminations, cable supports and related civil.
The Potable Water output from the Al Ghubrah plant will be metered and sampled connection point at the
site boundary. The connection to the existing Al Ghubrah Main Reservoir (GMR) is within the scope.
The aim of this proposal is to describe the main features of the design of a SWRO desalination plant
compliant with the quantity and quality requirements of potable water indicated in the RFP. The proposed
desalination plant has been designed considering the OPWP requirements regarding product water quality,
minimization of the environmental impact and improved sustainability, optimization of power consumption
and energy efficiency and assurance of plant availability.
Our solution is the most appropriate and effective solution after considering the regional sea water
characteristics, the historical variation range of the sea water parameters by designing and sizing the
process and each treatment unit in order to enable them to guarantee the required water capacity and
absorbing any variation in the sea water conditions, and complying with the quality and quantity
requirements in the product water.

4. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCESS DESIGN
The general criteria to be considered for the design of the Desalination Plant will be to provide it with
maximum flexibility, redundancy and reliability so as to guarantee, at all times, the production and
supply of the volumes and qualities of treated water required and that it has a durability of minimum
25 years. All this under the same guideline: obtain product water at the lowest operating cost
technically possible with the quality of seawater available.
To achieve the required results, the following basic goals will be considered for the Project:
 Optimization of the design and operation to achieve the most economical cost per cubic meter
of treated water.
 Locate the facilities in the most suitable places from the point of view of operational safety.
 Provide the ideal solution with regard to the variables considered, sizing the units so that they
can absorb the variations that may occur on the normal parameters established in Chapter 9.2 of
this document.
 All parts of the Plant shall be suitable in every respect for continuous operation at maximum
output as well as part loads and shall be designed to permit unconstrained operation over the
full range of ambient conditions and under the anticipated transient operation conditions as well
as the climatic conditions peculate to the Site and environmental pollution restrictions.
 Carry out a correct distribution of the various elements according to the logical sequence of the
process, to the topographic and geotechnical characteristics of the land and to obtain the lowest
possible operating and maintenance costs.
 Give a quality to civil works, equipment and facilities that allow a quality-price ratio that is
adjusted to this type of works, paying particular attention to ensuring the quality and production
required, guaranteeing a useful life of the plant of at least 25 years.
 Install equipment in "stand by" that allows reaching availability for the guaranteed production
flow of the plant.

1. OBJECT
To establish the system implanted in relation to the design, receipt and review of all contractual documents,
ensuring that what is foreseen in any bids and contracts contemplate all the necessary requirements and
that EPC Contractor is in a position to fulfill them.
2. SCOPE
The following is specifically completed:

• Documentation analysis.
• Requirement identification.
• Identification of the necessary materials and services to carry out the project.
• Identification of any works units subject to the quality plan.
 Identification of any relevant stockpiling needs that need to be subject to the quality plan.
3. RESPONSIBILITIES
The Constructor Manager/Site Manager, along with the Technical Director, will analyze any documentation
resulting from an analysis of the unit in question. Then, he will present an alternative solution to the one
planned, which may range from a redefinition of some aspects required for the unit’s execution up to the
design of an unprecedented project unit that differs from the former one.
4. PLANNING OF DESIGN TASKS
Project Planning is the phase during which objectives are established and operative processes are specified,
or the necessary tasks and related resources (work teams and material resources) for the project’s
execution. The Project’s global planning will be updated following the award of the Contract.
When determining the stages and controls involved in the Project’s development, the following will be
taken into account:
a) The nature, duration and complexity of design activities.
b) The necessary process stages, including applicable design updates.
c) The necessary activities for design verification and validation.
d) The responsibilities and authorities involved in the project’s execution.
e) Any internal and external resources required for the project’s execution.
f) The need to control interfaces between any persons actively participating in the project.
Project No. Project

Date Rev. Pag. of
Document n°/Title
23/05/2024 01_ 4 8
g) A need for active participation from the clients.

h) Requirements for a subsequent provision of products and services.
i) The control standard on the project’s execution expected by clients and other interested parties.
j) The necessary documented information to prove that project design requirements have been met.
k) Opportunities to improve energy performance and operational control when designing energy-run
facilities, equipment, systems and processes, whether new, altered or renovated, which may have
a significant impact on energy performance in planned or expected operational life.
All planning results will be updated, as appropriate, as the project’s drafting gradually moves forward.
Planning in Project tasks will be registered by the Project Manager in the EDT (Task Itemization). This
planning will follow the Timetable of the works, in such a way as to meet the deadlines foreseen therein.
Engineering planning will be supervised by the Project Manager based on information gathered from
specialist Technicians and the Construction Management or Contract Manager. Any updated information
for this planning review will be notified by the Project Manager to the interested parties as often as
necessary; if changes are made in the planning or scope of engineering tasks, an additional log will be
enclosed.
5. DOCUMENT MANAGER
One of the requirements that the client may impose is to have a specific document manager.
5.1. SPECIFIC DOCUMENT MANAGER OF THE CLIENT
If one of the client’s requirements is for the project’s documentation to be entrusted to a specific document
manager outside GS Inima, the Project Manager, with support from General Services or other department
in each Country, will take the necessary steps to hire a document manager (the document manager’s
contract will be held on file). Subsequently, the Project Manager will standardize the documentation and
specialist Technicians will organize the document manager and take over the initial document load.
Any Project data contained in a specific document manager platform will be uploaded and saved in GS
Inima’s document management platform.
5.2. GS INIMA’s DOCUMENT MANAGER
If the client has not requested a specific document manager, the project’s documentation will be organized
in GS Inima’s document management platform. As in the previous case, the Project Manager will
standardize all documentation, and specialist Technicians will organize the document management system
and take over the document load.

23/05/2024 01_ 5 8
6. PROJECT CHANGES
Any changes that may be made as a consequence of alterations by the Internal Client in incoming
components, or as a consequence of actions derived from reviews, or verifications, which consequently
involve changes in time, scope or costs.
The project may be changed whilst the project is being drafted, following its review or stage verification,
or final review or verification, or following delivery of the Project to the Client.
It will be ascertained whether the changes made alter the project’s planning or results. If the changes
approved by the internal client entail longer timeframes or greater resources when executing the tasks
entrusted to Execution Engineering, an extension of the contract will be signed according to Procedure
PDPC01, enclosing the following document:
• IM-PDPC-01.03 (PROPOSED CHANGE IN AN ACTIVITY PROJECT (PMPA)).
If a PMPA is not signed, the change track record will be reflected in the Project’s ECDT, adding any necessary
tasks or using the observations column (by the Project Manager). Such form will only reflect material
changes affecting the design’s layout or the project in its entirety, not a works unit.
7. STAGE REVIEW
Depending on each project’s own characteristics, there may or may not be a stage review.
Review participants will include representatives of each function or task related to the stage under review.
At each stage that is so indicated in the project’s planning, the review will be entrusted to the Review
Manager.
As the case may be, stage review will be entered into the EDT by the Review Manager. Each review log will
clearly evidence the following, at least:
• Details of what has been reviewed.
• Results obtained.
• Any associated actions.
In order to attest each review, the date and reviewer will be indicated. In principle, if a review is not
accurate, the review box will be checked as “not acceptable” and, in any case, comments will be made in
the observations box; if the review is accurate, it will be entered as reviewed along with the reviewer’s
name.
A verification of the adequacy of the solution adopted, based on the project’s requirements, may be
documented in various sections of the project’s ANNUAL REPORT.
Project No. Project

23/05/2024 01_ 6 8
8. STAGE VERIFICATION
The Project Manager, depending on criticality, will define the scope of this verification.
Criticality will be assessed depending on the experience offered by the specialist Technician and Client, the
specificity of the works, as well as any multitask verifications that need to be carried out.
Depending on each project’s own characteristics, stage verification may or may not exist. A single
verification will at least be completed in any project:
• Final verification: verification at each stage that is so indicated in the project’s planning will be entrusted
to the Verification Manager.
Two general issues may be distinguished in a verification:
• Formal verification:
Specific verification that the project stage has reached the level of definition foreseen in the planning and
contains all the necessary documents.
• Technical verification:
Checking the adequacy of any definition and graphic representation. Verification of sizes and calculations,
if any.
In any case, stage verification will be entered into the EDT by the Verification Manager. A verification log
will clearly evidence the following, at least:
• Details of what has been verified.

• Results obtained.
• Any related actions.
9. SPECIFIC PROCEDURE FOR PROJECT ANALYSES AND REVIEWS
The main objectives gathered in this analysis are the following:
• To check that all the necessary information is available for execution of the works.
• To verify that all current laws and regulations are fulfilled.
• To detect any ambiguities and contradictions amongst the various project documents.
• To explain the cases studies adopted to present the proposal.
Project No. Project

A review will be carried out according to the documents included in the works construction project.
The review process has been based on a full verification of all project units, in such a way that an analysis
jointly covers the Annual Report, related Annexes, Plans, List of Technical Requirements and Budget.
A review may be carried out in whole or in part. However, part of the review may not be carried out unless
the requirements are met affecting that part of the works.
Consequently, the following steps will be taken during the review:
1.- Which documents contain the necessary information for execution of the works.
2.- Any interrelation amongst the various documents.
3.- Checking that the information is complete.
4.- Measurements will be checked against the plans and measurement criteria foreseen in the List of
Specific Technical Requirements.
An analysis of the project’s documentation will be conceived as an initial approach to the units to be
executed. A detailed study of such units will generally take place before commencement of the works.
Any conclusions derived from an analysis of the project and siting of the works tend to end with a proposal
of alternative solutions for some of the works units planned, whether due to the terms being vague, if
incompatible with the existing situation, or for achievement of functional improvement in the overall
works.
The following steps will be followed to document and inform the Client of any successive proposals of
alternative solutions:
• Any circumstance, irregularity or vagueness arising in the prior approach or development of a

works unit will be notified to the Construction Manager. These circumstances will generally derive
from the project’s analysis.
• Along with the Technical Director, the Construction Manager will analyze the documentation
derived from each specific unit analysis. Then, he will articulate an alternative solution to the one
planned, which may range from redefining some features that are necessary for the unit’s
execution, to designing an unprecedented project unit that differs from the former one.
• The constructive report, explanatory calculations and constructive plans will be drawn up by the
Technical Office, which may require support from a Collaborator or External Technical Assistance
service.
• A review may be carried out in whole or in part. However, a partial review will never start unless
the requirements affecting that part of the works have been met.

• The outcome of the contract’s technical review will be registered.

• The final wording and content of the proposal will be analyzed and reviewed by the Quality Area,
which will proceed to grant its approval before being sent to the Client for discussion and
approval, as the case may be.
10. PROJECT ANALYSIS REPORT
The outcome of the contract’s technical review will be registered, always referring to the documents
involved or applicable to the project under review (document traceability).
Log PCM-1.1 ANALYSIS LIST, or its digital equivalent, will be drawn up, gathering any proposals that
may arise in the course of the works.
Each proposal will be entered into form PCM-1.2 UNIT ANALYSIS, or its digital equivalent, to include
the following:
• Date of the proposal.

• Unit reviewed.
• Circumstances underlying the proposal.
• Defining an alternative solution.
• A list of any technical documents backing up the solution considered.
• Signature of the Construction Manager/Site Manager.
• Signature of the Client (representative) and date, indicating the decision to be adopted and any
observations.
All alternative solutions proposed will be safeguarded by the site’s Quality Area.
Any logs derived from the project’s Analysis and Review process will be included in ANNEX 4. PROJECT

1. OBJECT
The object of this chapter is to define the structure of the quality system and organization of the works and
related responsibilities, as well as the methodology used to identify any formative needs, how these are
documented and how formative needs are reported, and how any courses arranged are recorded, for
training on the site.
2. WORKS STRUCTURE
The management organization of the works Quality Plan is reflected in its structure, which defines senior
positions and assigned tasks. Please note that the Site Quality Area is hierarchically dependent on the Site
Manager.
The Quality Area advises the Construction Manager, guaranteeing the quality of production at all times and
informing him of any actual or potential departures, should adequate corrective or preventive measures
not be taken.
The provision of resources is entrusted to the HR Manager.
The persons appointed to each position in the works must be qualified and offer adequate experience to
carry out the responsibilities entrusted.
The works Structure will be systematically updated upon arrival of new site staff or when these are
replaced. Each time one of these situations takes place, the client will be duly informed in order to give its
approval.
The structure defined for the works is attached in ANNEX 5. ORGANIZATION OF THE WORKS of this QPA.
3. FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The Quality Area will make sure that the functions assigned are known, as well as relations between the
various posts, avoiding any overlapping or redundancies and ensuring that each position is aware of the
responsibilities involved.
The functions, responsibilities and hierarchical relations of the project’s executive positions in relation to
quality of the works are described in form PCM-2.2 DISTRIBUTION OF FUNCTIONS and WORK POSITION
PROFILES, included in ANNEX 5. ORGANIZATION OF THE WORKS of this QPA. In the absence of the
foregoing, these functions will be entrusted to each superior.

A signature record will be registered in form PCM-2.3 RECOGNIZED SIGNATURES attached as ANNEX 5.
ORGANIZATION OF THE WORKS of this QPA, identifying each position and person appointed, site entry
date, signature and initialization.
At the date hereof, the names of the members of each position identified in the structure are not available.
This will be updated in our next review.
5. TRAINING
5.1. RESPONSIBILITIES
The Human Resources Area will be in charge of designing and supervising the site’s Training Plan and will
safeguard and file any documentation generated by formative actions; it will also complete the process
with the necessary assessments of such formative action.
All hierarchical superiors and the Quality and HSE areas that detect formative needs within their remit will
report them to the HR Area, in order to draw up its annual Training Plan.
Furthermore, they will be in charge of reporting the assessment on the efficacy of any formative action
arranged for the staff.
Hierarchical superiors will be in charge of approving any staff training requests to be debited to their
budget.
5.2. DEFINITIONS
 Work Position Profile (WPP): For each work position, the necessary requirements will be defined
as regards knowledge, qualifications and experience, for adequate job performance.

5.3. DEVELOPMENT
5.3.1 Training management.
Training is a continuous and permanent process, which needs to be gradually adapted to the Project’s
strategic and development needs.
Formative actions may be horizontal, throughout the organization, or specifically arranged for certain
areas, to include at least the following:
 Initial training/information, for new workers.
 If changes are made in the functions carried out by a worker or new technologies or
changes are introduced in work teams.
 Specific training for a work position (handling of equipment and instruments, use of
computer applications and technical documentation provided to such staff, constructive
techniques, materials, etc.).
 Technical training (technical courses arranged by specialized companies in areas related
to the company’s activity, etc.).
 HSE Training: lessons and case studies arranged by members of the HSE Area and other
experts in conjunction with the HSE Area Manager. This training will specifically focus on
each workers’ job or function, will adapt as risks evolve and others arise and periodic
refreshment courses will be arranged if necessary.
 Training in skills to ensure better job performance.
 Training adapted to the company’s legal needs.
 Awareness campaigns.
5.3.2 Detection of formative needs.
Each year, the Human Resources Area will detect and/or accordingly gather any formative needs,
depending on the organization’s own needs or those detected by each hierarchical superior or the Quality
and HSE areas, associated to the Management System or execution of works units.
5.3.3 Formative actions
Training for improvement and/or legal compliance actions are those arising and detected when formative
needs are gathered, before drawing up a Training Plan as indicated above.
Any requests made outside the annual Training Plan process will be notified by each Area to Human
Resources, which will decide whether or not to approve the formative action requested, along with the Site
Manager.
Each request will be submitted using form IM-PCA-09-01 Formative Action Request to the HR Area, for
approval. Once approved, it will be notified to the applicant and the relevant formative action arranged.

New formative needs may be identified for many different reasons, to include:
 Changes in operations (new working processes, machinery, etc.).
 The results of periodic checks on working conditions, etc.
 Any defects, needs, etc.
 Periodic refreshment course for the entire staff, etc.
Mandatory Training: In turn, the entire staff must receive the initial training established and specified for
each job, as provided by law in each case. Consequently, any new workers who do not receive this training
will process a request before the HR Area in order for a course to be arranged.
5.3.4 Training plan control

The annual Training Plan will be checked and supervised by the HR Area and the outcome recorded in
form IM-PCA-09-07 Supervision of the annual training plan.
5.3.5 Announcement of formative actions
The HR Area will inform the staff of any formative actions announced, according to plan.
5.3.6 Attendance register of formative actions
Whilst formative actions are underway, both teachers and attendants will complete form IM-PCA-09-02
Daily Attendance Report for Formative Action (or other form used by the training institution) each day
and will forward it to the HR Area or subcontracted company, which will safeguard such information.
At the end of each formative action, both teachers and attendants will complete form IM-PCA-09-04
Formative/informative action certificate.
5.3.7 Assessment of formative actions, quality and efficacy
At the end of each formative action, the teacher will circulate form IM-PCA-09-03 Formative action
Assessment Questionnaire amongst all attendants, to be completed and returned by each teacher to the
Human Resources Area and subcontracted company for management and filing purposes.

Generally speaking, inspections may be classified into three groups, by nature and specialty of the executing
party:
- VISUAL AND GEOMETRIC INSPECTIONS
- TOPOGRAPHIC INSPECTIONS
- TRIALS AND TESTS
When inspections are carried out, there are three possible inspection levels:
- INTERNAL CONTROL: PRODUCTION, QUALITY AREA.
- EXTERNAL CONTROL: TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE (Third Party Inspection), Laboratory.
- CLIENT CONTROL: OWNER
The Quality Area will carry out those inspections related to the completion of tests and trials, subject to the
frequency established. Furthermore, it will complete the necessary inspections and checks to ascertain that
all units are executed according to the procedures and requirements established beforehand.
Finally, any inspections and checks considered appropriate will be scheduled, to be carried out by the
external control company hired by the EPC Constructor, as part of those scheduled for each unit in its
witness or hold points.
Each area manager will inform the Quality Area sufficiently in advance by e-mail, of which works units they
intend to start.
The managers will advise of any activity entailing a stop point, sufficiently in advance, to the inspector or
quality manager.
All communications from the Owner or its representatives, of any witness or stop points scheduled, will be
carried out by the Quality Area following its prior inspection.
The outcome of any inspections will be registered in inspection forms or ITP records. These forms will
constitute physical support with which to accept the batch or part of the works inspected.
6.2. ON-SITE INSPECTIONS
On-site inspections may be visual, geometric or topographic.
Inspections will be carried out as follows: the Quality Area will ensure that the checks defined in the ITP
and Trial Plan are carried out, with the frequency established for each one, leaving a record of the
inspection. Observations may be made and any irregularities described, which may have arisen during the
process.

23/05/2024 01_ 8 20
At the end of the work day or execution of a certain part of the works (as applicable), any persons entrusted
with inspection activities will hand over their inspection records to the Quality Area manager.
Topographic Inspections
All topographic verifications established in inspection point plans will be carried out by Internal Control, i.e.
the site’s Topography Area; the Head of Topography will be in charge of following the frequency established
in these plans, and will decide whether to countercheck a measurement with another topographer.
The Head of Topography will draw up verification records, indicating the date and works unit checked.
These details will include any differences between theoretical and actual data, indicating the number of
points that differ from the tolerance foreseen.
The Head of Topography will forward a copy of all topographic verification reports to the Quality Area and
managers of the inspected areas, and to the Construction Manager. These verifications will be included in
each works unit’s ITP.
Workshop inspections
The aim pursued by Quality when visiting the workshop in relation to civil works materials, as well as
possible prefabricated units, is to complete the necessary checks and inspections to ensure compliance
with Engineering specifications, conformity to plans and indications, good practices, manufacturer
contractual clauses and equipment suppliers at the workshop and/or warehouses.
Inspections will be planned and scheduled according to the Works Plan, for manufacturing activities at the
Workshop and Site, in order to not amount to a Waiting Point.
6.3. ACCEPTANCE OF WORKS UNITS
Acceptance of various works units will be reflected in each Inspection Control File and/or ITP record,
describing the outcome of any inspections according to inspection point plans and the reference of any
laboratory tests executed.
Next, inspection results will be updated in each database.
In the event of Non-Conformities, the Quality Area will initiate a Non-Conformity file and the batch or
product will be adequately identified and withdrawn until the Non-Conformity is resolved.
All inspected batches will be identified according to the outcome of any inspections and trials completed.

7. INSPECTION POINT PLAN
Inspection Point Plans will be drawn up for various works units.
ANNEX 6. INSPECTION POINT PROGRAM attached to this Plan includes an inspection point plan proposal.
During execution of the works, new ITPs will be gradually defined and drawn up depending on the needs
arising during development of the Project.
8. TRIAL PLAN
Trial Plans will be drawn up for all works units subject to a quality check and identified.
The Trial Plan drawn up for these works is included in ANNEX 10. TESTING PLAN of this QPA.
8.1. TRIALS AND TESTS
The Quality Area will be in charge of coordinating inspections based on trial results.
In order to speed up the trials scheduled, it may entrust the inspector with summoning the laboratory staff
in charge.
9. RECEIPT OF MATERIALS
Materials will be identified following receipt on the site and will be registered in form FT1. RECEIPT FILES
FOR MATERIALS, attached in ANNEX 8. TECHNICAL DATA SHEET MATERIAL RECEPTION.
1.- In general, any materials that have completed inspection checks upon reception WILL NOT BE
DISTINGUISHED with any mark or code whatsoever. In other words, any material stockpiled or stored
within the area, without being identified, will be considered as fit for use.
In order for this system to be effective, the following conditions will be met:
 Products will be received immediately following arrival. Otherwise, received materials could be
easily mistaken for suitable materials.
 Any material subject to treatment for unacceptable products, not only during reception but also
during stockpiling or addition to the worksite, will be identified as pending a decision as soon as
an irregularity is detected.
Project No. Project

Date Rev. Pag. of
Document n°/Title
23/05/2024 01_ 10 20
2.- Any materials that are pending a decision, either due to not completing inspections upon receipt or
due to evidencing a non-conformity, will be identified with a YELLOW mark.
3.- Any materials which, following a non-conformity analysis, have turned out to be not suitable, will be
identified with a RED mark and visibly separated from the rest of the inventory, if this is necessary.
This color code interpretation will be transmitted to each and every participant involved in incorporating
materials to the worksite.
This activity will not cover any materials consecutively received and placed on site by the same person (site
managers), such as in the case of concrete.
Materials should be identified at all times consistently with their acceptance records.
10. STOCKPILING OF MATERIALS
Areas of the worksite where supplied materials are stockpiled will be identified and defined, until arrival
on site, and the organization will be duly informed for supervision and follow-up.
Specific conditions will be defined for the stockpiling, storage and/or handling of some materials that so
require due to their nature, composition, etc.
All materials will be manipulated during receipt, storage and use meeting adequate requirements, based
on good practice and, in special cases, in specifically assigned procedures or instructions.
The organization and layout of the warehouse and inventories located there will be adequately carried out
by order of product necessity, in order to be easily used when necessary, making them easily accessible
upon storage.
Any materials consumed first will be those that first entered the warehouse or inventory. This system will
be essentially used for those materials that may be seriously altered due to rust, rot, etc. or their storage
in silos or similar construction.
For those materials that are either not able to be seriously altered, or whose stockpiling system
(accumulated sand and gravel, piling…) is invariable, the last one entering the warehouse or inventory will
be consumed first.
Stockpiling needs for the various materials to be used on the site will be covered by the approximate
volumes identified in the project’s measurements.
ANNEX 9. STOCKPILING CONTROL includes form FT2. STOCKPILING OF MATERIALS, which will be used to
register any checks and follow-ups on inventories, during execution of the works.

Responsibility for the global management of inventories the storage of material will be held by the Area
managers, under the Construction Manager’s supervision, in addition to the follow-up completed by the
Warehouse Manager.
10.1. METHODS TO USE TO AVOID POLLUTION IN INVENTORIES AND STORAGE
Materials may be grouped into the following categories:
Packaged and isolated materials. These materials may not be polluted due to their isolating packaging;
they will be stored in a covered place, not exposed to passersby and vehicles, in order to avoid any breakage
in the packaging that could alter their initial characteristics. An example of this type of materials is paint.
Materials able to be piled. In general, these materials are not usually able to be polluted by external agents,
as they tend to be rigid and unalterable. A good example of these materials is prefabricated concrete. They
will be stored or stocked over stable surface areas and will not be piled at a greater height than the one
indicated by the manufacturer, to avoid possible breakage.
Type A bulk materials. These materials, supplied in bulk, may be altered due to the action of their
surroundings; however, in any case, this may be easily avoided by controlling manageable stocking
conditions. A good example of these materials is steel, both for reinforcement and for profiles. Such
materials may eventually be polluted due to the action of grease or rust or harsh environmental conditions.
To avoid this, they will be stored above ground, on a flat surface, and their stockpiling directly controlled.
Type B bulk materials. These materials are supplied in bulk and may be easily contaminated due to nearby
components; furthermore, due to their sensitivity to surrounding humidity, they must be stored in silos or
tanks. The storage tanks used must be for this use only. If previously used in other ways, they must be
previously and thoroughly cleaned, in order to remove any foreign item. This cleaning, in turn, will use
products that do not leave behind any contaminating residue.
Type C bulk materials. These materials are supplied or stocked in bulk and, given their features, may be
polluted by direct contact with the ground or through meteorization. A clear example of this is sand and
gravel, plant soil, selected soil, etc. The following methods will be followed in these cases:
* Materials able to be polluted through contact: these materials will be isolated from potential pollutants,
for example when stockpiling sand and gravel the ground will be prepared before supply, and fitted out for
this purpose; next, a first layer will be spread, depending on the stockpiling surface, which may not be used
for storage; then, the final stocking will be carried out over it. If the stockpiling ground is very rough,
preparatory steps will be even more exhaustive, and geotextiles or similar items may even be used.
Stockpiling areas will be adequately signposted, clearly indicating which components are being stored and
their characteristics.
* Materials able to be polluted through meteorization: Altered due to the action of surrounding
components, such as plant soil, which due to direct contact with the environment is altered by rusting,
flocculation or cleansing. In the case of plant soil, seeding will be completed forming a plant layer, to
prevent alteration and to also enable its enrichment.

Polluting materials. These materials are able to contaminate other inventories or stocks. An example of
this are oil, bitumen emulsions, hydrocarbons, etc. They will be stored above ground and separated from
other components, supervised systematically and, whenever possible, as in the case of nitrogen fertilizer
or gasoline, will be stored in specific and adequately marked tanks.
Biocontaminating materials. These materials are able to contaminate the surrounding environment due to
their intrinsic features, such as chemical fertilizer containing phosphate, which may seriously alter the local
water ecosystem, due to excessively increasing the plant population and biological oxygen demand,
possibly causing irreversible damage to the ecosystem.
11. COMMISSIONING ACTIVITIES (COMMISSIONING & TESTING)

1. OBJECT
The object of this chapter is to explain the system followed to evaluate the objectives and indicators defined
by the Senior Management, in order to develop and improve the Quality Management System.
2. SCOPE
The Management establishes general quality objectives that are consistent with the Principles of its
implanted Integrated Policy on Quality, the Environment, Energy Management, Health & Safety and the
results of the Management’s Review, in addition to any specific objectives that may be implemented in
each project carried out by the organization.
3. RESPONSIBILITIES
The Project’s Quality Committee, consisting of the Project Director, Site Manager and Construction
Manager, along with the QA/QC Manager, defines and approves Specific Quality Objectives, following the
strategies defined in the integrated policy. Furthermore, it supervises achievement of the Objectives set,
using any standardized information and indicators established for this purpose, and ensures that the
necessary resources are available. If necessary, depending on the follow-up results on the performance of
objectives, the Management will be in charge of replanning the project.
GS Inima’s QHSE corporate area studies and proposes global strategies, as well as annual general objectives
in QHSE areas which, once approved, are adequately implemented. GS Inima’s QHSE area is in charge of
obtaining information on the achievement of QHSE objectives. To do this, the QA/QC manager will provide
all the necessary information.
The Project’s Quality Committee will approve any actions defined in the compliance plan, in order to
achieve GS Inima’s General Objectives.
The Project’s Quality Committee will carry out the necessary measures to meet quality objectives, based
on General Objectives issued by GS Inima’s Corporate QHSE Committee.
4. DEFINITIONS
Objectives: Goals in terms of performance in the management system related to quality, the environment,
energy and health & safety, which an organization sets for itself.
There are General Objectives related to Quantity, the Environment, Energy, Health & Safety, according to
strategies defined in the integrated policy. Their implementation results in Specific Objectives for each
Country or Center.
NOTE: All objectives related to the quality systems should be quantifiable and measurable.

Planned achievement of Objectives: Development of strategies and action plans that need to be
documented and communicated. Documentation should be included, on the following:
• Responsibility and authority designated to achieve the objectives, related to relevant functions and
levels inside the organization.
• The means and timeframes established to achieve such objectives.
Management platform: the platform used for QHSE Dept. processes. As a consequence of the transitional
period required until digitalization is achieved, this chapter describes two working methodologies, using a
digital platform and without a platform.
5. DEVELOPMENT
5.1. DEFINITION OF OBJECTIVES
At least once a year the Company Management and Project Management will check the achievement of
objectives and set new objectives for the following period. This review is carried out as part of the
Management’s System Review (following procedure PCA-14).
Throughout the year, the need may arise to define additional objectives to those initially established, e.g.
further to those derived from new activities or processes.
The following points will be taken into account when setting any objectives:
 Technological options
 Financial, operational and business requirements
 Indicator results
 Continuous improvement
 Evaluation results of risk and opportunities
Any objectives will be uploaded on the Management Platform or recorded in objective records (IM-PCA-
13-02). See ANNEX 11. OBJECTIVES AND INDICATORS.
Specific and measurable indicators will be defined, providing information on the achievement of objectives.

5.2. DEVELOPMENT OF AN ACTION PLAN. PLANNING OF COMPLIANCE
Once objectives are set, the Compliance Plan will specify which steps need to be taken, as well as the
execution timeframe and assignment of both human and material resources required for this execution.
Any Planning to implement these objectives and indicators will at least specify the following:
• Who is in charge of each action

• When the action needs to be completed
• Any human and material resources required for compliance
• Results of any specified action
• Indicators
Such planning will be uploaded onto the Management Platform or recorded in form IM-PCA-13-01. See
ANNEX 11. OBJECTIVES AND INDICATORS.
5.3. SUPERVISION OF PLANNING FOR COMPLIANCE WITH OBJECTIVES
Objectives will be planned each year, at the end of the period (December), to which all objectives and
indicators will refer.
As often as necessary, the senior managers of the Project’s Quality Assurance (the Quality Manager in this
case) will forward it to GS Inima’s QHSE corporate dept., as established in Chapter 3 (Responsibilities).
Each year, the Company Management and Project Management will check compliance with each objective
and associated action, informing the staff of the level of achievement.
5.4. CLOSING OF OBJECTIVES
Once an objective is executed, the results obtained are registered and compared to those expected,
according to forms IM-PCA-13-01 and IM-PCA-13-02 (only if the platform is not being used). See ANNEX
11. OBJECTIVES AND INDICATORS.

5.4. IDENTIFICATION OF TECHNICAL DOCUMENTS
The codes for the identification of technical documents of the project will be carried out as explained
below according to application and identification fields:
PROJECT INTERNAL GENERAL & SPECIALTY PROCESS CORRELATIVE INTERNAL AND

CODE REFERENCE/ SPECIFIC AREA DOCUMENT CLIENT REVIEW
AUTHOR DOCUMENT NUMBER
TYPE
00 ZZZ AA BB CCCC DDDDD EEE
The general code of a document or plan will have 7 (seven) fields that must be filled out as follows:
00-ZZZ-AA-BB-CCCC-DDDDD-EEE
00 PROJECT CODE
The generic project code G3 will be applied to all plans and documents to identify the Al Ghubrah III
project. A different code such as GE can be used to identify specifically Al Ghubrah III EPC or GB to
identify a different phase of the project as it could correspond to the As Built of the Al Ghubrah III
project.
These codes must have the smallest possible extension and be especially compatible with a document
management system and with the 3D design system.
ZZZ INTERNAL REFERENCE/AUTHOR
This internal reference field indicates the author entity of the document. This code ZZZ distinguishes
the documents generated by GS Inima with the reference GSI and those generated by sub-contractor
or suppliers with the general reference SUB or with an acronym specific of the supplier (eg. SUL or TOR
for Sulzer or Torishima, respectively).
AA GENERAL AND SPECIFIC DOCUMENT TYPE
Its content is defined in the Annex 1. Table 1.1 General and specific documents, respectively.
BB SPECIALTY AND SUBSPECIALTY
Its content is defined in the Annex 2. Table 1.2 Type of specialty and subspecialty.

CCCC PROCESS AREA
Its content is defined in the Annex 3. Table 1.3 Process area.
DDDDD CORRELATIVE DOCUMENT NUMBER
In document or general drawings, it reflects the order or correlative number of documents, plans, etc.
00001, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, etc.
For documents or plans that require it for instance Technical evaluation, technical specification, Budget,
Detailed Drawings, etc. this code includes the material code or equipment code together with the
simplified correlative number 01, 02, 03, 04, etc. For example:
• Isometrics that include the material code: The first 3 codes of the consecutive number DDD will
correspond to the material code and the last two digits (of the total of five digits) are assigned to
the consecutive number 01, 02, 03, …. etc. for each document or drawing.
• Technical specifications, technical evaluations, equipment detail plans, etc. The first 3 codes of the
DDD correlative number will correspond to the equipment code (Class name) and the last two digits
(of the total of five digits) to the consecutive number 01, 02, 03, …. etc. for each document or
drawing.
These material and equipment codes that match the “Equipment Codification Procedure”.
EEE INTERNAL AND CLIENT VERSION
All document codification will start with the version 00A.

The two first numerical codes indicate the version issued to the SPV for approval.
The final letter indicates the internal reviews of the document, for example 00B; 00C; 00D, etc.,
When this document was internally approved and ready to be issued to the SPV, then the drawing will
be sent as an upgraded version 01_ (don’t miss the underscore as for the DMS program 3 digits had to
be kept).
If the document is approved. Then the document will keep as, for example 01_ .
If the document is approved with comments, these comments will be included in the document and
issued as 02_ (no new approval is required).
If the document is not approved, the internal revision will start from 01A…01B…. 01C… etc. And then
once internally approved the document will be issued to SPV as version 02_ and so on.
Its content is defined in the Annex 4. Table 1.4 Client version and internal review.
All documented information that is issued is in English and available as a hard and/or digital copy, as
needed.

a) Reference Documentation: supplied by the Client, on which Engineering work is based.
b) Engineering Documentation: generated by Engineering (internal and/or engineering subcontractors)
for the project’s development.
5.5.1. REFERENCE DOCUMENTATION
The Documentation Controller is in charge of entering the reference documentation at the start of the
project, into the Document Management System, once the Project Director has received all applicable
documentation from the Study department and/or client. Furthermore, he will be in charge of handling
any new reference documentation received or reviews of already available documents, updating them
in the System. In this case, he will be in charge of notifying this receipt to the project members, as
necessary, according to the matrix or project circulation list.
5.5.2. ENGINEERING DOCUMENTATION
The Documentation Controller is in charge of officially issuing all engineering blueprints and documents
to the Client, to include the blueprints provided by suppliers, previously reviewed in-house by
Engineering. This type of documentation will be officially issued to the Client through Transmittals.
5.6. DOCUMENT REVIEW AND APPROVAL
• Review and approval of internal documented information
This involves checking that it is complete and adequate, and meets the objective foreseen, to
be consequently approved.
The persons in charge indicated in 3.1 above will review and approve the documented
information.
• Review and approval of works execution procedures for subcontractors (external documented
information).
When checking the review methodology and taking of cognizance of the documents delivered
by subcontractors to execute the work (usually procedures, instructions and protocols), the
methodology below is followed:
- The Quality Area will request the necessary information from the subcontractors in order
to access the site. This requested documented information includes the execution
procedures for review.
Project No. Project

Date Rev. Pag. of
Document n°/Title
23/05/2024 01_ 10 19
- The Quality Area distributes these documents as a hard or digital copy to each competent
Area Manager, for review and to make any necessary observations.
- Once the procedure/instruction is reviewed, the competent Area Manager will proceed to
approve the documented information, with his signature.
5.7. CONTROL OF DOCUMENTED INFORMATION
• Control of internal documented information
Once all internal documents and logs are approved, the Quality Area will then complete a
control process, as applicable. For this, each area manager will notify Quality each time a new
document or log is generated or a new version is issued of any existing document.
• Control of external documented information
All external documented information (such as subcontractor rules and procedures) is also
subject to control.
5.8. CIRCULATED DOCUMENTS
• Circulated internal documentation
All original documented information, used in the project, will be held on file on the Site, for any
update or amendment, as needed.
The project’s original technical documentation (blueprints, technical specifications, etc.) will be
kept in Document Management software.
In order to ensure that documented information or its successive reviews are available as needed, in
due time and form, and given the various uses given to documented information, it will be circulated
by the persons in charge, indicated in section 3.1 above, through any of the following methods:
• Circulation of procedures/internal instructions: any new procedures/instructions for the
Management System, including review changes, will be notified as follows:
- Electronic circulation: The Documentation Controller will inform each affected person, by
e-mail, of any existing applicable documentation or review, indicating the document name
and code, its review status (if applicable), enclosing a PDF copy of the information. All
circulated e-mails will be saved by the person in charge of document circulation.
Note: for newly employed staff, this circulation will follow SST and AM instructions.
Note: the person in charge assigned will keep a file with all procedures/instructions
delivered and circulation records.
The Documentation Controller of the Project Office will keep the documentation manager updated,
with the latest version of all technical documents. If new documents are generated or a change is
made in existing ones, the entire staff will be notified through an automatic e-mail.

Date Rev. Pag. of
Document n°/Title
23/05/2024 01_ 11 19
If the Project Office needs to communicate technical information, the Documentation Controller will
be indicated which information to circulate and the latter will deliver it by e-mail to the persons
involved.
In order to ensure that all technical documentation files are updated with the latest version, the
Documentation Controller will withdraw any obsolete copies delivered and stamp “Obsolete” or “Null
and Void”, as applicable.
The EPC Contractor will not be responsible for any copies used on site of documents delivered without
an original seal.
Note 1: no document will be circulated to subcontractors and in-house staff until it is approved by the
client, unless this is required by the works.
Note 2: all original documents (Word) will be in the hands of the Quality area.
Note 3: all procedures/instructions will also be uploaded onto the platform.
Note 4: The Quality Area will circulate the latest current version of any documents to all subcontractors
by e-mail, for internal distribution.
5.9. RECEIPT OF DOCUMENTATION
The person in charge of circulating the documents defined in 3.1 above is also responsible for replacing
or removing any obsolete hard-copy documents, and replacing them with the current version.
Note: In order to avoid confidentiality leaks, misuse and a loss of integrity in the documented
information delivered to the staff, the latter must sign a CONFIDENTIALITY COMMITMENT
(AGREEMENT) when joining the EPC.
Control of external documented information (subcontractor procedures)
Following a taking of cognizance, all PDF procedures/instructions are delivered by the Quality area to
the Site Documentation Controller, for storage in the shared digital cloud and circulation to the client
through the system agreed, and to all EPC staff by e-mail.
5.10. CHANGE OR CANCELLATION OF DOCUMENTED INFORMATION
Anyone in the organization may request a change in documented information. Any document change
proposals will be sent to the persons in charge of changes or cancellations, defined in section 3.1.
Any proposals to change or cancel technical documentation will be sent to each competent area.

The issue, review and approval of all changes is entrusted to the agents who drafted, reviewed and
approved the initial edition, unless otherwise expressly indicated.
In order to avoid unintentional or intentional changes in documented information on file (logs), the
following steps may be taken, as needed:
 Hard-copy data: stored under key.
 Electronic data:
- Limited document access.
- Saved as a PDF file or “read only” Word file.
All documented information, in addition to being changed, may be cancelled if obsolete, no longer used
or upon expiry of the storage term.
5.11. REVIEW OF DOCUMENTED INFORMATION
All documented information for the site will be reviewed at least once every 6 months.
5.12. DOCUMENTATION REQUESTED FROM SUPPLIERS
In order to inform suppliers about the documentation they need to deliver, as well as the guidelines to
be followed in these deliveries, the Stockpiling Area will have a specific procedure in place defining the
requirements to be met, and any forms to be filled in.
A specific list of the documents required for each order will include the technical specification issued
by the competent technical area.
These lists will include:
- Document list: standard documentation (document code and description) required for a certain type
of equipment or material.
- Delivery dates for each document.
- Internal circulation: how each listed document needs to be circulated, i.e. which areas should review

1. VERIFICATION AND CALIBRATION OF MEASUREMENT EQUIPMENT
This procedure establishes the criteria and responsibilities related to the verification, calibration and
control of supervision and control equipment for measurement equipment, in order to guarantee the
necessary accuracy and precision. In this way, the idea is to assure the conformity of results obtained from
inspections, measures and trials, generated by such equipment.
Notes. The following equipment or measurements are excluded, for the reasons explained:
 1.- Material for physical/chemical water testing. Procedures of use, calibration or verification will
be covered by specific or individual procedures (or based on the series of equipment of the same
range, brand and model), based on international standardized rules (ISO, Standard Methods).
Specifically, as regards volumetric analysis material (laboratory test tubes), the manufacturer’s
certification will constitute sufficient Quality.
 2.- Installer instruments, with turnkey technical assistance contracts. They need only provide a
calibration certificate when in use (examples: comparators of engine-pump axis alignment, meters
to measure operating machinery vibrations, etc.). Quality will require that the Supplier provide
such documentation before carrying out the work.
 3.- Electronic instruments used in the Process, such as flow meters, level transmitters, absolute and
differential pressure transmitters, pressure switches, etc. These will be gauged or certified ex
works. Quality will be in charge of obtaining, as a prior document, an authorization to deliver
certificates; at the plant, after the commissioning stage, it will only be necessary to verify the
relevant parameters (ranges, scales, K factor for flow meters). This activity is usually treated as part
of FAT field testing of instruments.
 4.- Process instruments, such as local manometers and thermometers. Certified ex works. Quality
will obtain the necessary documents before authorizing delivery. The verification of adequate
installation and assembly status, such as aligned instruments, will be entrusted to Quality (on the
site) or to the Commissioning Manager.
 5.- Analytical Process Instruments. Gauged or certified ex works. Quality will be in charge of
previously obtaining an authorization to deliver the certificates. After the commissioning stage, on
the plant, all parameters will be double-checked (ranges, scales, K factor for flow meters), in charge
of the Manager of FAT field testing of instruments, and a second gauging entrusted to the
Commissioning Manager in conjunction with the plant’s physical-chemical laboratory (e.g.
conductivity meters, pH meters, etc.). Assigned a specific procedure.

1.1.2 CALIBRATION AND VERIFICATION OF EQUIPMENT

The Head of Topography, along with the Quality Area, will be in charge of determining when and where
to send the equipment for calibration purposes.
If equipment is sent to a Workshop for repair, such equipment must be returned with a new calibration.
The calibration certificate will include the following:
- Equipment Identification
- Reference of the calibration procedure used
- Environmental calibration conditions
- Pattern used (identification, uncertainty and traceability)
- Results obtained and equipment uncertainty
- Calibration company
- Certificate date and manager’s signature
Upon receipt of a calibration certificate, it will be checked that results fall within the values set for this
type of equipment in the manufacturer’s manual. The calibrated equipment will display a label showing
Project No. Project

Calibration certificates will be valid for the time intervals indicated.
All calibrations completed on equipment will be entered into form PCM-8.3.3. TOPOGRAPHIC
EQUIPMENT CALIBRATION FILE, attached in ANNEX 12. MEASUREMENT AND TESTING EQUIPMENT
CONTROL.
An initial verification will be completed, before being commissioned on the Site, and before starting
any work involving control under such equipment or instrument, checking to see whether the
equipment has been damaged or suffered an incident in route.
All verifications completed on equipment will be entered into form PCM-8.3 VERIFICATION OF
TOPOGRAPHIC EQUIPMENT, attached in ANNEX 12. MEASUREMENT AND TESTING EQUIPMENT
CONTROL.
1.1.3 CALIBRATION AND VERIFICATION SCHEDULE

The frequency of calibration and verification for topographic equipment, and the necessary documents
to purchase or rent the same, are entered in form PCM-8.3.1. TOPOGRAPHIC EQUIPMENT CONTROL,
attached in ANNEX 12. MEASUREMENT AND TESTING EQUIPMENT CONTROL.
Equipment will be calibrated each year. If third party topographic equipment is involved in the project,
these will be calibrated with the same frequency.
1.1.4 REPAIR OF EQUIPMENT

In the event of a breakdown, damage or suspicion of inadequate measurement conducted on owned
or used equipment in the Project, the equipment will be repaired and calibrated by an official
workshop, authorized to issue calibration certificates.
1.2. VERIFICATIONS AND CALIBRATIONS OF OTHER CIVIL WORKS EQUIPMENT
In addition to topographic equipment, other equipment and apparatus may be used.
A list is provided below as an example without limitation, of likely equipment used on a worksite:
.- Equipment and instruments related to external laboratory control plans, such as structural concrete
resistance tests, structural steel tests, geotechnical tests.
.- Equipment used to test, measure and control equipment on concrete plants outside the site.
.- Equipment used to test and measure aggregate plants outside the site.
.- Testing equipment for specific environmental controls – Combustion gas, noise, smells, detection of
toxic gas, etc.

1. NON-CONFORMITIES
A Non-Conformity will refer to any material or process that does not meet the requirements gathered in
the Project, PPI, Specification, plans, contractual clause, Client List or Quality Assurance Plans, General
Regulations and/or Good Practice Codes.
 By identifying and subsequently treating actual or potential non-conformities, the aim is to guarantee
conformity with Management System specifications, and to ensure that adequate corrective
measures are taken to mitigate or remove the systematic repetition of situations generating non-
conformities.
A Non-Conformity may appear:
 Whilst the service is being provided, by the staff in charge of supervising the service.
 In the supervision and measurement of Quality processes.
 Whilst inspecting the execution of works or service units (belonging to the company or outsourced).
 During the inspection and verification of electromechanical equipment (factory, site).
 When verifying measurement equipment (field or laboratory).
 During the completion of internal and external audits.
 When starting up the facility.
These Non-Conformities relate to:
 Inspections and Workshop visits.

 Inspections, trials and tests carried out on the Site.
 Receipt inspections conducted on supplied material and equipment.
 Analytical results of control entities or certified laboratories.
 Claims and complaints received from clients or interested parties.
 Incidents.
 Unacceptable products or services, based on pre-established requirements and parameters.

1.1. CONTENT OF THE NON-CONFORMITIES REPORT
All of the organization’s internal staff is obliged to inform the Quality Manager of any possible non-
conformity detected. The Quality Assurance Manager will be in charge of verifying non-conformity details
and initiating a non-conformity report.
The Non-Conformity Report will describe the following fields:
 Name and code of all or part of the works.

 Number assigned to the Non-Conformity and code, depending on the type of Non-Conformity.
 Full description of the requirement not met in the Non-Conformity, indicating whether it is an actual
or potential Non-Conformity. This description will be signed and dated.
 Description of the Immediate Measure adopted (if any), attaching the necessary documentation to
explain any measures adopted.
 Definition of the corrective measure.
 Analysis of causes giving rise to the Non-Conformity.
 Description of the Measures to be implemented, if not immediate, along with the manager’s
signature and date when the measure is proposed to remove the Non-Conformity.
 Verification and shelving of the Non-Conformity, with any comments, the verification date and
manager’s signature.
If a Non-Conformity is detected in the area entrusted to the Quality Assurance Manager, the report will be
issued by his/her immediate superior in the hierarchical scale.
As the Quality System of the works is based on Quality Standard UNE-EN ISO 9001:2015, this will be the
Applicable Rule when evaluating the nature of the Non-Conformity indicating the detected irregularities.
Any Non-Conformities detected during execution of the works will be recorded in form IM-PCA-05-01 Non-
Conformity Report and supervised using form IM-PCA-05-02 List of Non-Conformities. These non-
conformities will be entered into the software. See ANNEX 13. NON-CONFORMITIES, CORRECTIVE
ACTIONS AND CLAIMS.

1.2. TREATMENT OF UNACCEPTABLE PRODUCTS
The process indicated below will be followed after detecting a Non-Conformity:
a) Initiation of a report
Once a Non-Conformity is detected, the Quality Assurance Manager will fill in a Non-Conformity
Report. The manager of the area or process affected will be informed of an initiated Non-
Conformity, for its examination.
b) Analysis and decision
Once a Non-Conformity is detected, a potential solution will be considered (if this is possible), or
the product or service will be accepted, with an unfulfilled requirement, following an authorization
from the manager(s) and provided that no regulatory or legal requirements are breached.
The following solutions may be given to a Non-Conformity: resolved (recommencement of the

process or repair of the product in order to meet all the necessary requirements); released or
granted (acceptance of the inadequate product or service, within previously established limits); or
discarded (product or service returned, recycled, reclassified or destroyed).
c) Follow-up and shelving
The Quality Assurance Manager will follow up on the measure adopted, verifying whether the Non-
Conformity has been satisfactorily resolved. If so, the Non-Conformity will be shelved. Otherwise, a
new timeframe will be scheduled for the (new) measure, until resolution of the breach is ascertained.
The Quality Assurance Manager will at all times keep the file updated, with full details of the track record
of each Non-Conformity, since it appeared and until the report was shelved.
This report will include the following:
 N/C registration number.

 Level of the N/C.
 Type of breach.
 Initiation and shelving dates.
 Brief description of the N/C.
 Number of the Corrective Measure generated.
The Quality Area will be in charge of supervising and shelving all Non-Conformities, periodically forwarding
to GS Inima S.A.’s Quality and Environment Department form IM-PCA-05-02 List of Non-Conformities.

2. CORRECTIVE MEASURES
For Non-Conformities that are not occasional or are repeated, or if individually requested, corrective
measures will be adopted.
2.1. ANALYSIS OF THE CAUSE AND INITIATION OF A CORRECTIVE MEASURE
In the event of repeated Non-Conformities and/or Risks in any specific activity, the Quality Manager and
Quality Assurance Manager will analyze the same, determining whether it is necessary to issue a Corrective
Action Plan, using form IM-PCA-05-03 Control of Corrective Measures.
In this case, the following will be defined:
 The origin or cause, describing any departures and consequences of the measure.
 Any measures taken to remedy actual or potential infringements, if appropriate and proportional to
the magnitude of Non-Conformities or Risks, as well as the scope and person responsible for applying
such measures. This action plan should set a deadline for the implementation of measures and
expected date to confirm their efficacy. It should also be approved by the Quality Manager.
 The follow-up and date of each verification conducted on the measure or action plan previously
described.
 Shelving or verified efficacy, dating and signing the document if the measure has been effective.
Otherwise, a new measure may be taken.
On a monthly basis, GS INIMA’s QHSE Department and the Management will be forwarded a copy of any
reports on ongoing Corrective Measures.
2.2. FOLLOW-UP AND SHELVING OF A CORRECTIVE MEASURE
The person in charge of a Corrective Measure will be the same person in charge of the production, service
or control activity.
The person in charge of following up on corrective measures will be the Quality Area, which must register
the date and outcome of the follow-up completed under the relevant section, in form IM-PCA-05-03
Control of Corrective Measures. To the extent possible, evidence will be annexed to explain the outcome
of the follow-up.
The corrective measure will be analyzed, verifying that its underlying cause has been removed. One of the
following cases may arise:
Project No. Project

Date Rev. Pag. of
Document n°/Title
23/05/2024 01_ 7 7
 The causes are deemed removed and the corrective measure is effective. In this case, the Quality
Manager will shelve it, indicating the reasons why he considers that it needs to be shelved and
referring to the necessary evidence.
 If the causes are not deemed removed, the Quality Area will shelve the measure, indicating the
reasons why he considers it is not effective, and will initiate a new measure, in agreement with the
senior manager of the new corrective measure planned.
Supervision of the status control of Corrective Measures is entered into form IM-PCA-05-04 Control of
Corrective Measures.
All logs generated by the Non-Conformity and Corrective Measure process are attached in ANNEX 13. NON-
CONFORMITIES, CORRECTIVE ACTIONS AND CLAIMS.
3. CLAIMS
Any claims that may arise during all stages of the project, brought both by the client and any other
interested party, will be notified to the Quality Area, which will register them. Any defined measures will
be implemented to reply to the claim, including supervision until the claim is shelved.
All claims received during execution of the works will be registered in form IM-PCA-05-01 Non-Conformity
Report and their supervision controlled using form IM-PCA-05-02 List of Non-Conformities. These non-
conformities will be entered into the software. The forms are attached in ANNEX 13. NON-CONFORMITIES,

1. OBJECT
To describe the purchasing procedure in place, in order to ensure that all purchases and outsourcing of goods, services,
machinery and auxiliary resources subject to the system meet the specified Quality, Environmental, ORP and Energy
requirements.
Furthermore, a description is provided of the system used to validate, supervise and evaluate providers (suppliers and
subcontractors) adopted for the Project.
Ultimately, the aim is to ensure that all purchases and outsourcing of key and critical equipment, materials, machinery,
goods, services and auxiliary resources are subject to the Quality (and Environmental) System requirements specified
in standards EN ISO 9001:2015 and EN ISO 14001:2015.
2. SCOPE
Applicable to all purchases and suppliers, whether of materials or products, such as services and
subcontractors, whose activity is included in the following types of services; rental of machinery, leasing of
material and auxiliary resources, industrial providers, installers, servicers, subcontractors of civil or marine
works, supply of machinery, worksite materials and auxiliary resources, supervisory entities, advisors,
waste management companies and any other activity considered relevant.
3. DEFINITIONS
 Subcontractor: supplies the necessary labor, tools and auxiliary resources, for construction and/or
installation of materials and/or equipment acquired, without supplying materials and/or
equipment. Two main groups may be distinguished:
 Subcontractors of civil works

 Subcontractors of electromechanical tasks
 Industrial provider: supplies ex work engineering, to include materials and the necessary labor for
pre-manufacturing at its factories, and assembly on site. Any suppliers of manufactured products
or equipment that are delivered on site fully finished and only need to be supervised for assembly
on site will not be treated as industrial providers, but as suppliers. Two main groups of industrial
providers may be distinguished:
Project No. Project

Date Rev. Pag. of
Document n°/Title
23/05/2024 01_ 4 8
 Industrial providers with staff present on the site, for new manufacturing equipment
manufactured by the company itself or delivered by the EPC Contractor, but which include
materials they supply.
 Industrial providers present on the site, for the conservation and maintenance of operating
equipment, to include materials supplied.
 Collaborator: supplies additional work or services, which are not a measurable part of the works
or part of scheduled maintenance, but are just as necessary to achieve the purposes of the
Contract. The following main groups may be distinguished:
 A collaborator carrying out its task through staff present on the site to be built or exploited.
 A collaborator whose task requires the presence of staff at the head office.
 A collaborator carrying out its task in third party factories or warehouses, on behalf of the EPC
Contractor.
 A collaborator carrying out its task on its own facilities or on others in the absence of liability
attributable to the EPC Contractor, for any incident or accident whatsoever.
 Provider: supplies finished materials, products or equipment delivered on the facilities, on site, at
the plant or at various external points, without requiring the presence of staff on the facility other
than vehicle drivers in charge of delivery and any supervisors participating in the supervision work
of equipment assembly and start-up. Three different types of procurement are possible:
 A provider with no staff present on the site or plant.

 A provider delivering materials on the site or plant, including means of transport and/or for
downloading.
 A provider that also offers services to supervise assembly and/or start-up on the site or plant.
 Provider database: an automated file containing a list of suppliers and subcontractors that hold or
have held a commercial relationship with this Project.
 Purchase item: identified supply or service for which the provider is hired.
 Validated supplier: a provider, subcontractor, industrial provider or collaborator, previously

validated according to the criteria established in PCA-17 “Validation, follow-up and evaluation of
suppliers”.
 Supplier validation file: individual computerized record for each supplier and purchase item,
indicating evaluation criteria and validation data, as well as any observations and commercial
contacts.
Project No. Project

23/05/2024 01_ 5 8
 Supplier follow-up file: individual computerized record for each supplier and purchase item,
completed at each work center (area), indicating the suppliers’ classification details as well as any
observations indicated by the project manager.
4. PURCHASING PROCESS
4.1. KEY EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES
There are a series of key equipment and services that are necessary for the site (whether due to replacing,
extending or improving those already existing) which, due to their special characteristics and/or cost, make
it essential for the EPC Constructor’s Stockpiling Department to provide technical-commercial back-up to
the Manager in question in order to use the best commercial strategy.
A list of local purchases will be drawn up for the Site Stockpiling Area.
4.2. REQUEST FOR BIDS
The manager assigned will contact all suppliers and request that they submit a bid.
It will be necessary to have a purchase specification for these purposes, as well as PPIs (Inspection Point
Plans for manufacturing, assembly and prior/operational testing, if applicable), blueprints and any
documentation that needs to be included in the bid.
4.3. COMPARATIVE
For Equipment, the Engineering department will complete a technical analysis of each Bid, if there are other
components.
The Stockpiling Department will complete an economic comparative.
Consequently, the Stockpiling Department, along with each bid, will forward a technical tabulation
including the price obtained for homogenized and technically accepted bids, to be sent to the managers in
charge.
This comparative will include at least three technically valid bids and the award priority order.
If, as an exception, three valid bids are not achieved, the necessary written explanation will be provided.

23/05/2024 01_ 6 8
4.4. NEGOTIATION
The Stockpiling Department, along with the Manager in charge of site purchases, will negotiate with
suppliers to complete a comparative which, once signed, will be sent to the site purchasing Manager along
with the commercially recommended bid.
4.5. PREPARATION OF PURCHASE DOCUMENTATION
All the necessary purchase documents to launch the contractual document in question will be drawn up for
processing by the Stockpiling Department.
This documentation may include the final awarded comparative, annexes, technical specifications, PPIs and
any other document included in the contractual documentation.
If the type of purchase so requires, these documents will be provided by the purchasing Manager of the
project in question.
4.6. “SOFTWARE PLATFORM” MANAGEMENT
Alongside the indicated management and depending on the type of purchase in question, steps will be
taken in the software platform in place in each case, by the Purchasing Department or Manager assigned.
5. SUPPLIERS
The Project will have a computerized and centralized Supplier Database, storing any information related to
suppliers, to include evaluation details and follow-up scores, reflected in each file. This database must be
checked and used in the purchasing process.
5.1. SUPPLIER VALIDATION
In the supplier database, a supplier may be validated for many different purchase items. If evaluated, the
supplier’s evaluation status is indicated.
In order for a supplier to be hired, it must be previously validated in the Purchase Item field to be procured.
Purchase items must be enabled and an average score for each one recorded; all suppliers will start off with
a minimum score of 2.5 upon validation, on a scale of 0 to 5. No suppliers with negative scores will be
allowed, and the procurement of any suppliers scoring under 3 is not recommended. If necessary, longer
and greater control and follow-up will apply during the work period and contract.
The minimum requirements to validate a supplier involve meeting the following:

 Management Certificates: at least one of the following must be sent:
 Current Certificate of its Quality Management System, according to standard ISO 9001
 Current Certificate of its Environmental Management System, according to standard ISO 14001.
 Current Certificate of its Environmental Management System according to EMAS Regulations.
 Current Certificate of its Energy Management System according to ISO 50001.
✓ Current Certificate of its Occupational Health & Safety Management System, according to
standard OHSAS 18001:2007 (valid until March 2021) or ISO 45001:2018.
 Current Certificate regarding its Management in Quality, Environmental, Energy and
Occupational Health & Safety matters, granted by certified entities (the certificate must include
the standard of reference and expiry date).
 Compliance Commitment Certificate
 A signed and Sealed Certificate of Committed Compliance with Environmental, Energy,

Occupational Health & Safety and Social Responsibility Rules, in any contracts signed with JVs
to which it belongs, valid for 3 years following the signature date. This Certificate will be signed
even if the Supplier or Subcontractor holds Management Certificates according to section 1
above.
 When acquiring energy services, products and equipment actually or potentially affecting the
amount of energy used, and if the Supplier does not sign the Commitment Certificate indicated
in the preceding section, the suppliers will be informed in writing that all purchases will be
partly evaluated according to energy performance. To do this, the general contracting terms
will include the fact that one of the JV’s procurement criteria is an evaluation of energy use and
consumption for all purchases of products or materials for the centers, and that those labeled
as ecologically friendly and/or certified in energy terms will be granted priority, as well as those
with a longer useful life, lower cost, greater energy efficiency and less potential for generating
waste upon expiry of the product.
 The supplier of electronic equipment will meet all conditions imposed by current law. Particular
attention will be paid to electronic meters, computers and facility control equipment, which
the supplier is obliged to withdraw at the end of their useful life.
 Experience in the sector
Any supplier or subcontractor that has previously worked for GS Inima and/or participated in the
supplier/subcontractor will provide a list of completed tasks, with the date and amounts procured,
or experience in the sector, which will be valid for 3 years.
 Verified capacity of the supplier or subcontractor in Health & Safety matters

Before starting work, it will be confirmed that the supplier or subcontractor is sufficiently able to
carry out its tasks as established in the Management System, by checking its occupational health &
safety performance records, the qualifications, experience and competence offered by its workers
in accordance with the requirements of the Management System and the adequacy of its
resources, equipment and work preparation.
All validated suppliers or subcontractors will also provide the JV with the necessary documentation
to complete the Business Activity Coordination established in procedure PG-05.
Once the evaluation file has been filled in, in the supplier database, by the Purchasing area or
representative, the Quality Area must check the information and validate or reject the supplier.
5.2. SUPPLIER VALIDATION FILE
This computerized file gathers the details taken into account when validating a supplier.
The Purchasing Area is entitled to validate and classify a supplier, although such classification will be subject
to review, and approval or dismissal, by the senior managers of the areas involved.
An individual file will be assigned to each supplier and Purchase Item, including the following items:
 Definition of the Purchase Item and scope of supply

 Internal identification code
 Supplier name and tax details, NIF/CIF or registration number
 The validation manager
 Validation dates and entry into the system
 Validation criteria
 Validation deadline
The file will keep an observations field open, where information may be included on the purchase item and
the supplier’s experience in relation to the Purchase Item, and other details related to the supplier’s
validation criteria.

9. CODING OF COMMUNICATIONS
In order to track any relevant external or internal communications, coding will be used for written
communications by e-mail, to include minutes of any meeting, whether notified internally or externally, as
follows:
 External communications with Suppliers and Subcontractors, SPV, Public Administration and
other stakeholders.
 Internal communications of the EPC Contractor, by specialty and topic.
9.1. Identification of communications
Written communications, that require, will be identified as follows (according to Document Codification
procedure):
00-ZZZ-E/L/T-CCC-DDDDD
Project No. Project

Date Rev. Pag. of
Document n°/Title
23/05/2024 01_ 8 9
Where:
• 00 is the name of the project: G3.
• ZZZ is the author of the communications or document: GS Inima, specific codes for contracted company
or engineers and general reference SUB for sub-contractors or suppliers.
• E/L/T is for the document type (Email, Letter, Transmittal).
• CCC is the receiver of the communications or document: Subcontractor / Supplier (Specific codes).
• DDDDD are the correlative number of documents, drawings according to the Engineering Codification
procedure, the Equipment reference (class name) specified in the Equipment Codification procedure
or other type of documents.
In the event that the sender of an email issues a document included in that communication without an
identification code or with an erroneous code, the receiver (or anyone involved in the communication
process) may communicate the error, correcting the corresponding identification. In the case of
communications sending sketches or drafts, general references may be used, although at a minimum it will
be required that the communication clearly and without error identify the subject of analysis and the
document developed and the project reference.
9.2. Official communications
The following criteria will be considered for official communications (between EPC and SPV):
• Official communications will follow a numerical criteria (correlative number) considering a temporal
criteria. The numerical codes of communications already used may be reviewed in the DMS or be
consulted with the person in charge of Document Management (Al Ghubrah document controller).
• Different documents may be issued in the same communication (same transmittal) that correspond to
the same milestone (month of the LNTP or NTP period) or to the same specialty. Documents from
different milestones will not be mixed in the same transmittal.
• Each communication will be made separately according to the object of the communication: for
approval, information, etc.
• In the case of sending a revision of a document or drawing already sent in a previous communication,
a new transmittal will be sent, referring in it to the previous transmittal that has been rectified.
• Client response communications to an official communication will be codified and filed in the DMS even
if they have been received by other means (fax, email) and without codification.
• The responses of the SPV to a previous transmittal will use the same correlative number, but
substituting the author GSI for SPV. For example, G3-GSI-L-CDC-00001 is replaced by G3-CDC-L-GSI-
00001. In case that successive responses are receiving to the same transmittal, the same initial
correlative number will be maintained.
• In the event that the SPV sends a communication, request for information, etc. that does not respond
Project No. Project

Date Rev. Pag. of
Document n°/Title
23/05/2024 01_ 9 9
to a previous document transmission from the EPC, this client communication will be coded with the
following code:
o G3-CDC-E-GSI-00001
• The GSI's response to that prevail communication will use the same equivalent code, but substituting
the author:
o G3-GSI-E-CDC-00001.
For official communications (EPC-SPV) and other communications with entities involved in the project
(external engineering, subcontractors, etc.) the transmittal template approved for the project will be used
(document reference “G3-GSI-T-CDC-00001”).

1. OBJECT
The idea is to define a program for Audits, both Internal (carried out by GS Inima) and External (by a
validated certifying entity), to check that the quality management system of the worksite follows standard
UNE-EN ISO 9001:2015.
2. INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL AUDITS

Through a periodic and systematic auditing program, it will be determined whether all activities related to
the Integrated Management System meet pre-established conditions, as well as the necessary level of
efficacy and adequacy.
A Quality Auditing Program has the following basic objectives:
 To determine whether the Quality System has been adequately implemented and documented.
 To check that what is established in the Quality System is being carried out.
 To evaluate the efficacy achieved with the established Quality System.
 To identify any defect, non-conformity or departure from the Quality System.
 To confirm that any departures, defects or non-conformities have been remedied by applying
adequate Corrective Measures.
2.1. INTERNAL AUDITS
Quality audits will be carried out following the methodology explained in General Procedure “PCA-06:
Internal Audits of the Management System” of GS Inima, S.A.
These audits seek:
 To verify that the Quality System has been adequately implemented.

 That it has effectively achieved the organization’s policy and objectives.
 To detect any irregularities, in order to establish the necessary corrective measures.
The following terms are applicable:
Audit of the Quality System: a systematic, documented, periodic, objective and independent evaluation to
assess the efficacy, effectiveness and reliability of the management system to prevent occupational risks,

Execution of an Internal Audit. Internal Audit Report.
When carrying out an internal audit, the auditing team will take the following into account:
 It will only evaluate objective and contrasted evidence.

 The audit need not be limited to the issues gathered in the check-list, if any.
 If a possible defect is detected, an investigation will be conducted until it is confirmed or not. Once
confirmed, the team will check whether it is random or, instead, continuous and systematic.
 Any non-conformities and irregularities detected in earlier audits will be exhaustively supervised.
Upon completion of the Audit, the auditing team will hold a meeting with the senior manager of the audited
area, who will be explained any departures or non-conformities found in order to reach an agreement or
make the necessary comments.
Issue of the Internal Auditing Report
The scope of the audit will include all the points foreseen in the rule of reference. Such report will be drawn
up by the auditor and sent to the Head of the Quality and Environmental Department, the site Quality Area,
the Managers of the audited areas and any persons considered necessary in the Project itself.
The Internal Auditing Report will be drawn up following form IM-PCA-6.3. Internal Auditing Report.
The check-list, form IM-PG-11.02, along with any notes taken during the audit, will constitute an auditing
log and will be attached to the Auditing Report.
Such report is forwarded to the direct manager of the audited area. His/her immediate superior, within the
hierarchical line and timeframe specified, must be informed of its content, if the Auditor considers this
necessary.
The Internal Auditing Report will contain at least the following sections:

In addition, the Auditor may add suggestions to remedy any non-conformities and recommendations to
improve the Management System. These suggestions do not affect the responsibility for implementing the
measures in the audited area.
Execution and supervision of an Action Plan
An Action Plan will follow form IM-PCA-05-03 Non-Conformity Report of an Internal/External Audit and
may be entered into the software.
The log will contain the following information:
 No. of each Non-Conformity: matching the one indicated in the Internal Audit Report.

1. OBJECT
This chapter describes the methodology that the EPC CONTRACTOR will carry out to identify and manage
any risks and opportunities in its Quality, Environmental and ORP processes, thus mitigating any risks and
taking advantage of any opportunities.
2. SCOPE
This procedure covers all risks and opportunities detected in each project process.
3. RESPONSIBILITIES
The QA/QC Manager will be in charge of evaluating any Risks and Opportunities, and obtaining the
necessary information from each process, in conjunction with the areas in charge of each one, in order to
carry out this assessment.
The Construction Manager will be in charge of supervising and shelving any Planned Measures for his/her
project.
The various managers in areas such as the Technical Office, Sales, HR, will be in charge of supervising and
shelving any Planned Measures in their area.
4. DEFINITIONS
• Risk: effect of an uncertainty. These effects may be both negative and positive (opportunities).
• Detectability: This is a key concept for AMFE. If, during the process, a failure or any defective output
should arise, an investigation will be conducted to see how likely it is that it will go “undetected”, allowing
the next stage to begin, consequently generating problems and ultimately affecting the client or end user.
The more difficult it is to detect an existing failure and the longer it takes to detect it, the greater the
consequences.
• Frequency: This measures potential repetitiveness or occurrence of a certain failure; in reliability or
prevention terms, this is referred to as the probability of a failure arising.
 Seriousness: This measures the damage usually expected from the failure in question, in the
client/user’s view. It also covers the maximum damage expected, which would also be associated to its
likelihood.
• Risk Priority Index (IPR): The outcome of frequency due to seriousness and detectability; such factors
may be translated into an dimensional numerical code that is able to prioritize any emergency intervention,
and the order of any corrective measures. Consequently, it should be calculated for all the causes of the
failure.

During the project’s execution, all “risks” should be managed in order to mitigate those that may damage
the business, encouraging value-creation risks (opportunities).
The Quality, Environmental and ORP Department is in charge of drawing up and updating the context of
the organization, based on contributions received from the other Departments, included in the Quality and
Environmental Management Manual and ORP Management System Manual.
Further to an analysis of this context, a SWOT will be carried out and entered into the “SWOT Analysis”
form.
Both the SWOT and the context of the organization will be updated each year during the Annual Review of
the Integrated Management System.
