4 Requirements

The document contains all possible quality check sheets and handover forms to execute a substation project. It is important to compile a Quality Handover document specific to a project by including the relevant sections and duplicating check sheets where required (eg. In the case of two transformers two separate transformer check sheets will be required or if no capacitor bank will be installed, exclude the capacitor bank quality check sheet).

The process is initiated by collating all relevant detail and documentation regarding the project and stakeholders. This is catered for in tables in the General information section as per Annexure A.

The next stage is the actual execution of activities. This is catered for in Stages 1 to 13 (Annexure B1 to B13). Each stage consists of two types of documents per category, namely a Quality Control check sheet (Quality checking of actual activities) and a Handover form (confirming that the various Quality activity checks have been executed).




Revision: 0

Page: 6 of 112



The next stage is the Commissioning and testing stage prior to switch-on (Stage 14, Annexure B14).

Provision has been made for two stages for Handover. Firstly, a Preliminary Handover stage to ensure that all quality checks have been performed in order to switch the substation on. The final Handover ensures that all activities relating to the project have been completed and the project is closed off and handed over for Commercial operation.

The Quality Control and Assurance process consists of the following stages:

! General Project Information

! Stage 1 Civil Works: Platform

! Stage 2 Civil Works: Control Building

! Stage 3 Civil Works: Subsoil drainage

! Stage 4 Civil Works: Earthmat Installation

! Stage 5 Civil Works: Equipment Foundations & Cable trenches

! Stage 6 Civil Works: Roads, Stoning & Kerbing

! Stage 7 Civil Works: Transformer bund area, Oil dam and fire wall

! Stage 8 Steelwork

! Stage 9 Fencing

! Stage 10 Power Transformer Delivery & Assembly

! Stage 11 Primary Equipment Installation

! Stage 12 Conductors, busbars & clamps

! Stage 13 Control Plant installation

! Stage 14 Commissioning Testing

! Stage 15 Provisional Handover

! Stage 16 Final Handover

The various stages are displayed in figure 1

4.1 General Project Information

! The Design Engineer shall hand over the Final Design Package and Drawings to the Project Manager. It is the responsibility of the Design Engineer to ensure that the latest revisions of all documentation have been issued to the Project Manager.

! The Project Manager will ensure that both the appointed Contractor and the appointed Clerk of Works receive the necessary documents and drawings for all the construction stages. All parties are to complete the Design Package Handover Form before commencement of construction.

! Provision has been made for signatories and the recording of the relevant Drawing Numbers and Revisions at the time of issue.

! Drawing revisions due to Design Changes will be recorded in the Documentation Change Control Form. The Project Manager will ensure that the Contractor and Clerk of Work receive the latest revision of the drawings.

4.2 Requirements applicable to Stages 1 to 13

! The Quality Control Checksheet will be issued by the Project Manager as part of the quality assurance documentation and will be on site until the stage has been completed. The activities within the stage are to be completed and checked against the design drawings and specifications to ensure compliance.

! Prior to the commencement of the construction stage, the Clerk of Works will confirm with the Contractor which activities have been identified as Holding Points and which activities he would like to be photographed as proof of compliance.

! Each activity, once completed by the contractor, will be signed off by both the Contractor and Clerk of Works. The Clerk of Works will indicate whether the activity was:Witnessed (W) – present during this activity Verified (V) – not present but confirm compliance.

! Certain Checksheets include key specifications such as soil classification, layer depth and number of layers required as per the design. This is to ensure the specification is understood by both parties and complied with.

! Once all the activities for a specific stage have been completed, the Quality Control Checksheetshall be presented to the Project Manager who will confirm that all the activities have been signed off by both the Contractor and the Clerk of Works

! The Handover Checklist is then used as a high level checklist to ensure that all Quality Control activities have been executed as per the Quality Control Checksheet. The Handover Checklist is the responsibility of the Project Manager and must be updated at least once a month during the site meeting.

! The required forms must be duplicated for multiple products in a substation (e.g. for two transformers make two copies of the transformer checksheets).

4.2.1 Additional requirements applicable to Stage 5 - “Civil Works: Equipment Foundations & Cable trenches”

! The checksheet for the foundations can be done as a bulk item check or a checksheet for each foundation or group of foundations. This is to be decided between the Clerk of Works and the Contractor.

4.2.2 Additional requirements applicable to Stage 9 - “Steelwork” and “Fencing”

! The Contractor shall ensure that all manufactured steelwork is inspected at delivery and galvanizing thickness checked and verified before erection. The Contractor needs to inform the Clerk of Works once the steelwork is on site. The Clerk of Works needs to arrange an inspection date with the Standards Implementation Representative for inspection and approval of steelwork.

! The Checksheet for the steelwork can be done as a bulk item check or a checksheet for each item or group of items. This is to be decided between the Clerk of Works and the Contractor.

2.1 Definitions

Client: means the Eskom 16.2 appointed person directly involved and for whom construction work is performed on the basis of a contractual agreement formally entered into with either an agent or a principal contractor (external to Eskom).

Competent Person: means any person having the knowledge, training and experience specific to the work or task being performed: provided that where appropriate qualifications and training are registered in terms of the South African Qualifications Authority Act, 1995 (act 58 of 1995), these qualifications and training shall be deemed to be the required qualifications and training.

Contractor: means an employer, as defined in section 1 of the OHSA, who performs construction work for the client either directly or through an agent and includes principal contractors and the subcontractor.

Employer: means any person who employs or provides work for any person and remunerates that person or expressly or tacitly undertakes to remunerate him/her.

Eskom requirements: Eskom requirements flowing out of directives, policies, standards, procedures, specifications, work instructions, guidelines, or manuals.

Fall arrest system: a system used to arrest an employee in a fall from an elevated working level. It consists of an anchor point, connectors, and a body harness and may include a lanyard, deceleration device, lifeline, or suitable combinations of these, BUT excludes body belts. The entire system must be capable of withstanding the tremendous impact forces involved in stopping or arresting the fall.

Fall prevention equipment: means equipment used to prevent persons from falling from an elevated position, including personal equipment, body harnesses, body belts, lanyards, lifelines or physical equipment, guardrails, screens, barricades, anchorages, or similar equipment.

Fall protection plan: means a documented plan of all risks relating to working from an elevated position, considering the nature of work undertaken and setting out the procedures and methods to be applied in order to eliminate the risk.

Method statement or safe working procedure means a written document detailing the key activities to be performed in order to reduce the hazards identified in any risk assessment.

5

On site/site: any workplace where the contractor or his/her employees perform contract-related work.

Pre-job brief meetings: a meeting that is held prior to the commencement of the day’s work with all relevant personnel associated with the work task in attendance. The job, relevant procedures, associated hazards, and safety measures, that is, the task risk assessments, shall be discussed. Each employee who attends the briefing shall sign an attendance register. The toolbox topics will be based on SHE issues pertaining to the construction site.The topic contents shall be in writing.

Principal contractor (PC): means an employer, as defined in section 1 of the Act, who performs construction work and is appointed by the client or the client’s agent to be in overall control and management of a part of, or the whole of, a construction site.
