Ans:   Material Inspection, type, size as per approved specification, installation hook up for frame, bracket or stands, fixed properly means shaking free, Name Plate, and tag no.

Ans:   For to side only terminal’s address required which shall be close to terminal either side and complete information shall be of from side after or before as per left and right side.

Ans:   When the QA/QC department of contractor is satisfied that the work detailed in the construction RFI is completed, then request shall be submitted for inspection to the client QA/AC department.

Ans:   Schedule Q is an attachment to the contract, which is the provision of Quality Assurance and Control, Inspection and test plan.

Ans: They are as following.

A: Level 0 – Documents requirements only, no Inspection.

B: Level 1 – Inspection prior to shipping.

C: Level 2 – Minimum requirements, pre-inspection meetings, one  or more unspecified “in progress” surveillance visits.

D: Level 3 – Same as level 2, except that “in progress” surveillance inspection shall be in regular basis.

E: Level 4 – Resident Inspection Continuously monitor the work.

A: Hold Point (H): The inspection activities will not proceed without the presence of inspection.

B: Witness Point (W): Inspection activities can be proceeding after issuing RFI.

C: Review (R): Verification of documentation (NMR) on its correctness as per spec and approved drawings.

D: Surveillance (S): Inspection has right to conduct random inspection of works.

E: Inspection (I) / Perform (P) / Test (T): construction can be proceeding to next phase without client inspection.

Ans: ITP mean Inspection and Test Plan, details of work scope and required types of inspections.

Hold Point (H): is the level of inspection that client inspection must require through RFI and can’t be preceded until inspection is done by client.

Witness Point (W): is the level of inspection that inspection activity can be preceded without client inspection or if client is not available as per RFI Timing.

Ans:   Request for inspection (RFI), RFI shall be raised only when the status of the preliminary inspection is satisfactory, and the works (items) are Hold or Witness Point.

Ans:   Cable tray is the device used to provide support and protection to the laid cable in side the building or outside pipe rack.

Ans:   Checking / testing the equipment for its accuracy and serviceability are known as calibration.
Process calibration means carrying out calibration activity by following the adopted authorized method linked with standardization.

Ans:   Loop is the electro-mechanical presentation of the circuit concerning to flow of liquid or gas, alarm system, control valve operation and other specific for which field installation instrument involvement is considered. There are certain condition and requirements to be fulfilled to complete the loop check.
The list of attachments including drawing, check list and punch list and other listed documents are arrange in folder (loop wise) for having an easy access to carry out the loop check and final hand over of the project. That folder with all possible documents is known as loop folder.

Ans:   a. Loop check is a clear blue print of a successful system functioning (activity wise).

b. This emphasis the serviceability of each instrument installed either in field or inside the building,

c. This exposes also the limitation of some systems functioning as per the attached filled punch list,

d. One of the ready documents for final hand over of a project on completion,

e. It is always two team’s operation-one will be on field and the other will be in the control room, After every successful completion of loop check it is marked with Red Colored Label bearing the date
of the loop check and the witnessing parties initial.

Ans:   The standard means the authenticated documented instruction to be followed during execution
of any specific project for which it is made.

Standardization means the method of execution of certain standard, which is specific to the one
or more related activities in a project execution process.

Ans:   This is a process of verifying the method application by means of following certain documented and authenticated instruction i.e. standardization is known as inspection.

Ans:  The following are the phenomenal responsibilities which any QC Inspector is supposed to execute at the time of carrying out any inspection.

a. Well versed with the technology for which the inspection is carried out.

b. Should have the reasoning capability to analysis the method.

c.  Should have thorough knowledge about the procedure to be adopted for inspection i.e. adopted standards.

d. Should be able to convey the irregularities found to the concerned authorities.

e. Should be absolute sincere about the job execution.

f.  Should be vigilant all the time.

Ans:   Following are the characteristics of a perfect inspector:

a. Should never compromise with the quality at the time of performing inspection.

b.  Should be sincere towards performing the responsibilities.

c. Should be punctual.

d. Should be exemplary in approach while carrying out inspection.

e. Should have the capabilities to convince the authorities about the irregularities with knowledgeable representation.

Ans:   Following are the requirements at the time of execution of an inspection.

a.  Instrument data sheet.

b. Test Instrument Certificate.

c.  Vendor instruction manual.

d. Test Instrument instruction manual.

Ans:   Close Circuit Television system used for establishing the alarm notification in case of any unforeseen hazard takes place. It is a digitally controlled system which enables the automatic notification of the happening in and around the plant and plant premises.

Ans:   The QA activity means adopted method for verification of the execution of QC activity in turn it focuses towards the importance of implementation of QC role in the industrial and other sectors related to maintenance, production and construction specially.

The QC activity means the direct involvement in maintaining quality standard as per the adopted
method/standard by the way of carrying out inspection (activity wise) and making the documentation related to that. It also involves the activity involving for the project’s quality maintainability and process execution.

Ans:   Schedule ‘Q’ is the guidelines for the method application related to quality including the distribution of manpower (quality field oriented) and the quality process execution including quality control and quality assurance.

It has got six appendices covering all the process implementations related to execution of project performance with the focus towards maintainability of quality control and quality assurance.

Ans:   a. Application for inspection from construction department after completion of every activity.

b. Production of drawing based on the planning.

c. Method application priority wise.

d. Procurement of item and equipment required for the execution of the project.

Ans:   It is the system adopted for the proper execution of the activity by maintaining the adopted standards and other specific. It involves surveillance on day to day activities performed by the production unit on operation.
