be corrected by RFTR of an area or system. Exception items must be kept to an
absolute minimum and must not affect the start-up or operation of the area or system or
use of a civil or architectural work. A target date must be agreed by all parties for
completion of each individual Exception Items.
3.2.7 Pre-Commissioning
an area, system or sub-system necessary to bring the mechanical and piping systems
to a state of "Ready for Commissioning". This is a very important milestone as it is the
first time fluids are introduced into systems and safety is of the highest priority and the
first consideration.
3.2.7.1 Commissioning
3.2.8 Start-Up
Start-Up comprises those activities, carried out by Operations, which bring the area
or system from a state of Ready for Test Run to the first sustained manufacture of
on-specification product.
The list is not all-inclusive, especially where specialist contractors are involved,
and is intended as a general guide.
The contractor shall supply engineering personnel to inspect, check and certify that
the equipment has been erected in accordance with the Contract Drawings,
instructions and specifications.
3.3.2 Cleaning
Cleaning of vessels, equipment, pipe work, drains, basins and sumps shall have
been performed by the Contractor to remove loose construction debris. This
cleaning shall require the use of air or water or pigs or the sweeping, scraping,
brushing of vessels and equipment as appropriate for the purpose of cleaning, the
Contractor shall not be permitted to use any Plant machinery installed or
intended to be installed and shall not use process fluid such as steam.
Piping systems, prior to flushing and hydro testing by the Contractor, Global Power
Services Project Team and Process team will be inspected by Operations to ensure
conformance to approve mechanical flow diagrams and to identify any outstanding

room for the start-up screens. These screens will have "tabs" to identify them and
they are to be removed and replaced with gaskets after flushing and hydrotesting.
Relief valves and thermal relief valves arc initially installed to ensure correct
alignment. After checkout and prior to hydrotestingr they shall be removed and
delivered to operations for inspection, testing and calibration if required, or the
Contractor will place them in a secure storage. Temporary blind flanges shall be
installed where the relief valve had been located. Relief valve will be tagged and
fully identified by the Contractor prior to delivery to operations. Pipe work which
will not fit relief valves subsequently installed shall be made good by the
Contractor.
