3.0 PROJECT EXECUTION PROCESSES

Promat project management system provides timely and accurate data to enable the
project management teams (PMT) to dynamically manage all aspects of a project,
including performance, cost, scheduling, documents, materials, logistics, contracts, risk,
and administration. The exchange of critical data among the suite of system
components provides project teams with both efficiency and accuracy in the project
management process.

The foundation of the project management information and control interface is the Work
Breakdown Structure (WBS). Using the WBS as a project information baseline provides
a powerful data retrieval and exchange capability for all disciplines, and an orderly
rollup structure to meet specific requirements and expectations in the management
of our projects.
The Works can have a breakdown based on the following key modules:
• Construction Sequence
• HSE Plan
• Quality Management
• Procurement Plan
• Mobilization Plan
• Interface Management
• Change Management

4.0 CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE AND STRATEGY

4.1 Strategy

It is a good idea to consistently consider the alignment of strategy with the CONTRACTOR
and projected final outcomes. We plan to go from concept to implementation with a clearly
defined set of goals and objectives. To this end, PROMAT will harness a targeted construction
driven approach to engineering, procurement and installation of the assigned scope of work.
We will utilize the construction team's knowledge base and experience to control costs, and
improve the project schedule, quality, and safety.

Emotional intelligence and self-awareness continue to be essential skillsets for project leaders
in order to maximize the productivity of the Project workforce. Our PMT better understands
this need in order to lead others harmoniously achieving the set targets with oversight
functions.

We would consistently interface with CONTRACTOR to ensure the construction required


dates are clear and that the required deliverables and milestones are prioritized to support
CONTRACTOR plan. We would use the L3 scheduling to communicate, monitor, assess and
track these requirements.

Construction work on Site shall be on the basis of focus on WBS, thereby maximizing available
work fronts.

Key Construction Principles and Objectives:


❖ Begin with the end in mind. Keeping targets in sight and staying aligned with strategy.
❖ Deliver the project on time and under budget while meeting all specifications and

5.0 HSE PRIORITY (HSE PLAN)

5.1 Health, Safety and Environment (HSE)

Throughout the execution of the Insulation scope, HSE will be the key unifying theme for all of
the activities performed. HSE is embedded throughout Promat operations as a core value
that is underpinned through a philosophy of continuous improvement and demonstrated safety
leadership, LiHS across every level of our organisation. PROMAT considers health,
safety, and environmental protection as essential for all our activities from conceptual
design and engineering through to project execution and commissioning. PROMAT
believes that HSE excellence enhances productivity and quality. Each individual has a
personal responsibility for his or her own safety and the safety of others, and no business
objective takes priority over minimising risks to personnel and impact on the environment.

Before the project is kicked-off, a project specific HSE Plan will be developed to address all
HSE requirements during execution of the Insulation Works. The HSE Plan will cover
HSE Policies, programs, systems, procedures, standards, controls, etc. for management
of HSE activities. The HSE Plan shall only be used upon approval by CONTRACTOR and will
be effectively implemented. The HSE Manager in the Project Management Team will ensure
that the dedication of the key personnel is at a level consistent with the project objectives
and will propose HSE indoctrination sessions or HSE training program, whenever necessary.

PROMAT recognizes the importance of the planning of Health Safety and Environment (HSE)
into the project at the earlier possible stage if the injuries and health challenges arising from
the project are to be avoided. To this end, this Project HSE Plan has been prepared to describe
how PROMAT intends to manage control and co-ordinate the works in order to project the
health and welfare of or all personnel engaged on the project and others who may be affected
by the operations.

HSE is an integral part of our business and we will manage it in the same manner above any
other business objective. For the Project HSE Plan to be effective, it is essential that the
management and the supervisory staff of PROMAT and it’s vendors are familiar with and
implement the relevant requirements of the plan. All PROMAT management and supervisory
personnel will there be provided with a controlled copy of the plan as will the senior resident
project representative of each contractor.

PROMAT will actively seek the support of all operatives engaged on the project to look after
the HSE of themselves and their colleagues by working within the spirit of this Project HSE
Plan.
Any person found to be disregarding the requirements of the plan would be subject to the
disciplinary action, which may result in their dismissal from the project.

ISO 9001:2015. PROMAT’s QMS applies to ALL projects as well as processes that
support those projects. The system is implemented within project execution by Discipline
Managers, supported by Project Quality Managers.

At the start of the project, a specific Quality Assurance (QA) Plan will be developed.
BIDDER’s corporate QA Manual will be the reference for the development of the specific QA
Plan of this Project which will describe the relevant applicable QA Procedures and any
specific project QA requirements. Among them, few will be of prime importance:

• Checking and Inter-discipline Verification


• Document Flow Control
• Document Filing and Archiving
• Change Control
• Safety Design and HSSE

The specific QA Plan and its referenced procedures constitute the documented Project
Quality Management System, which shall be applied to satisfy requirements of the Project and
the relevant provisions of ISO 9001:2015. A Project QA engineer, reporting to the
Engineering Manager, will be appointed to monitor compliance of all applicable
procedures. Furthermore, QA audits will be carried out during the Project to verify the
effectiveness of the Project Quality System.
Quality assurance Managers work with other staff within the organization to determine and
establish procedures and quality standards and to monitor These agreed targets.

9.0 INTERFACE MANAGEMENT

An interface occurs in a development project where there is exchange of communication


and understanding in responsibility, in scope or activities being performed by two or
more parties, and the activities of one party affect or contribute to those of the other(s).
To ensure correct completion of work, it is important to effectively manage the timely
flow of accurate information across identified interfaces.

The objective of the Interface Management Plan for the project aims at avoiding any gaps
or overlaps between the various parties involved in the Project. This requires making sure
that all Interface information is properly requested or received and promptly distributed to
ensure complete coverage of all Interfaces and that the works of each of the parties
involved will be executed in the safest, most efficient, and convenient manner.

For PROMAT, the management of interfaces associated with the execution of the
insulation works project falls into two basic areas:

• External interfaces
• Internal interfaces

9.1 External Interfaces

Expected external interfaces are with CONTRACTOR and all other vendors & third parties
as required by COMPANY. It is necessary to address the day-to-day technical information
exchanges between the afore-mentioned parties and PROMAT design team (project
execution interfaces) to ensure an open and close working relationship and interactive
decision making.

For the management of the formal interfaces, numerous methods of interfacing and
communicating will be utilized during execution of the Work:
o Project Review Meetings with CONTRACTOR.
o Regular construction meeting with other CONTRACTOR appointed representatives
either via face to face, or Telephone and / or Video Conference (VC) online.
o Interface Matrix and Action Item Matrix.
o Project Summary – Close-Out Report.

Regular contact will be established between CONTRACTOR and SUBCONTRACTOR


teams to ensure technical interfacing and effective communication is maintained
throughout the project. A number of critical interfaces are apparent in this project
that will r e q u i r e close coordination. To control these interfaces, Project interface
procedures will be implemented.

Page 29 of 35
9.2 Internal Interfaces

Construction meeting will be organized weekly, to further reinforce on internal interfaces.


The agenda as a minimum will include:

• Key events/achievements of the past period


• Status of the scope of work and completed tasks
• Progress Measurement
• Planned activities
• Outstanding or hold issues
• Review of action items list

Minutes of Meeting will be recorded for follow up action. Any disputes or major issues
which may arise from such meeting will be reported to CONTRACTOR Management.

Other project team members in both offices will be invited to participate as required.
Detailed interface register with agreed schedule will be developed upon Contract Award.
The Interface Register will be updated and distributed on regular basis (bi-weekly).

10.0 CHANGE MANAGEMENT

Basically the Change Control Procedure is meant to ensure that if there’s need for any
actual changes to the Project (Scope, Schedule, and Budget), they should be based
on informed management decisions and have a clear business justification. A suitable
change control procedure has to be established between SUBCONTRACTOR and the
CONTRACTOR to ensure transparency.

The Change Management Guideline defines the minimum expectations of the project
team in their management of alterations and circumstances during the execution phases
of a project. The Change Management process is a management tool that is to be
implemented as an integral part of the overall project management process. Changes
can be initiated by any project team member, project CONTRACTOR, o r COMPANY. It
is the responsibility of each team member to be aware of their scope of work to be
sensitive enough to have an effective Change Management process.

Changes to the Project Baselines established by the Contract, Project Execution Plan,
Project Design Basis, Budget/Estimate and S c h e d u l e , must be documented and
approved at the appropriate level prior to any change being implemented. These include
changes in project execution, design, procurement, construction, scope of work,
shortfalls in productivity as compared to progress (earned value), estimating omissions,
delays or any other changes which may affect the project in the areas of economics,
cost, schedule, safety, risk, operability, health hazards, the environment or regulatory
requirements.

The objective of the Change Management process is to ensure that changes are
identified, controlled, approved and implemented in an orderly and timely fashion along
with providing an auditable mechanism for tracking changes. Key objectives in Change
Management are to:
o Minimize p r o j e c t changes by eliminating non-essential alterations and limiting
any adverse impact of essential alterations on project objectives.

o Control changes against the Project Baselines for risk, safety, environment, regulatory
requirements, cost and schedule through a systematic process of identification,
assessment, approval and close-out.

o Implement procedures t h a t require each change to be appropriately identified,


reviewed and approved prior to implementation.
o Ensure that approved changes are implemented, appropriately communicated to
the Project Team members and any other affected parties, and closed-out on a
timely basis. Close-out includes documentation and finalization of a key record.

Page 32 of 35
o Manage temporary and urgent changes within the overall change process.
o Assess and control the impact of multiple changes on schedule and cost.

A Project Deviation Notice (PDN) is the tool to document the identification and impact
of any potential change whether it is construed as a Change to the Project Baseline,
internal change or interface impact, deviations, or External Budget Transfers. The PDN
can be used to document a perceived change initiated by the CONTRACTOR, the
SUBCONTRACTOR Project Team or a third party (vendor, fabricator, or subcontractor).
Project Changes can be categorized as technical, commercial or schedule. Examples
of changes that can be documented by the PDN are:

• Revisions to the latest Process or Engineering Design Package.

• Revisions to the latest Project Execution Plan (PEP).

• Deviations and Changes to Specifications (technical, materials and construction).

• Changes to Drawings approved for design (PFDs, P&IDs, etc.).

• As-built Drawings

• Changes to “Issued for Design” (IFD) or “Issued for Construction” (IFC) drawings,
plans and designs.

• Changes initiated by or due to regulatory requirements.

• Changes to the national, federal, state, or local laws and regulations

• Changes associated with addition or deletion of facilities or equipment not in


the original project scope or equipment list.

• Development changes / refinements to the specifications/design and/or execution


plan that alter the original scope of work as design and construction progresses as
follows.

• Design development: added work, facilities or deliverables (identified during design


evolution) not included in the original scope of work.

• Execution development changes normally resulting from circumstances unforeseen


at the time of contract award.

Page 33 of 35
• Estimate adjustment i n o r d e r to correct arithmetical errors or
omissions/duplications in the Baselines or Control Budget.

• External Transfers of work to increase or decrease SUCONTRACTORS’s


scope of work.
• Changes to Control Schedule that impact the Project’s Key Schedule m ilestones
and/or Project Critical Path schedule, or execution plan.

As a minimum, a weekly change review meeting will be held to facilitate the alignment and
agreement to implement a specific change. This meeting will establish whether the change
will proceed or whether it will be recycled or rejected. The meeting will also be utilized to
establish specific action plans and follow-up for a resolution of each deviation alert.
