2. Contributors
While all significant contributors to the project are paid directly by E.ON-UK the responsibility for production of design deliverables is split generally as follows: E.ON-UK: Integrated Power Station Performance Specification (Technical & Commercial) Overall Project Management, Monitoring & Control with support from Arup Commercial and Legal Coordination with support from Norton Rose Overall Planning and Consents Co-ordination with support from ENT (E.ON New Build & Technology), Genesis, Baker RDS, RSK, Atmos and Fisher German Overall Design Co-ordination with support from Arup & ENT
Note: Selected ENT and Arup staff are working directly for E.ON-UK and discharging duties on behalf of E.ON-UK. ENT: Power Station Design & CCS Integration Pipeline Equipment Specification (Valves, Meters etc.) & Supplier Review Pipeline and Power Station Integrated SCADA Design Capture Design supported by FW/MHI Compression & Conditioning Design supported by FW

Baker RDS: Wells and Storage Systems Design ENT is responsible for the performance of FW and MHI under the FW/MHI and the FW contracts. ENT is therefore responsible for managing information flows across the internal ENT interfaces with FW & MHI. E.ON-UK, with support from the participants as identified above, is responsible for managing its all other interfaces between Planning/Consenting, Technical Coordination, Commercial & Legal Co-ordination, General Project Management, Monitoring and Control. E.ON-UK will also coordinate with E.ON Gas Storage who will provide transport and storage system operability review input in the role of nominated asset manager for transport and storage. E.ON-UK is also responsible for managing external interfaces between ENT, Genesis, and Baker RDS.
3.1. Working Groups The following Working Groups have been established. 3.1.1. Transport & Storage Working Group (TSWG)
Chairman - Deliverable Coordinator, Arup for E.ON-UK Wells and Storage SPOC, ENT for E.ON-UK Flow Assurance Lead for Genesis Compression SPOC for ENT Pipeline / Platform SPOC, ENT for E.ON-UK Wells Lead for Baker RDS Pipeline and Offshore Structure Lead (Genesis Project Manager) Development/Consents Manager for E.ON-UK (Optional Observer)

NB: All design philosophies and key deliverables related to Transport and Storage will be reviewed by E.ON Gas Storage in parallel with the TSWG to confirm commonality of approach with other E.ON CCS projects.

there is may be some debate. Disputed decisions can be resolved by joint agreement between both TPMs. The Transport and Storage TPM will be responsible for co-ordinating official responses to comments by EGS after these comments have been considered by the Working Groups. In accordance with the requirements of the Document Life Cycle Process, Technical Approval is given by sign off by one TPM (T&S) or TPM (Power Station) or both, as appropriate. Final sign off is given by PEG (Project Executive Group).
Where there is overlap, one Working Group will be nominated as the main reviewer and the chairman of the Working Group nominated will refer the result of comments to the other nominated Working Group(s).
The roles and their reporting lines are defined in the Project Organisation Chart detailed in the Project Handbook Section 2 (Organisation). Specific individuals with key roles during the FEED 1A activities are:

It is therefore vital that a robust interface management philosophy is in place which provides each participant a clear definition on what the limits of supply are for their respective work packages, including who is doing what and when. An interface is defined as the point, area, or surface along which two substances or other qualitatively different things meet; it is also used metaphorically for the juncture between items. In a complex engineering project environment, interfaces or junctions exist in many forms across the various contract lots, but in most cases can be classified into three distinct categories: Physical: e.g. machine to foundation, pipe to pipe, cable to switchboard etc. Process e.g. fuel feed, quantity/hr at a certain calorific value, steam flow at temperature & pressure; delivery of materials between lots and expediting. Data e.g. Fan / Motor unit loading data for a foundation design
There is a risk that a failure to identify and properly manage interfaces on a project can lead to adverse effects on time, quality and cost. Therefore, in order to manage any risk from the onset of the project, a distinct and clear philosophy of interface management is required. The philosophy underpinning the management of technical interfaces between participants encompasses: Interfaces being identified upfront and actively managed within the Project Team. The roles and responsibilities of all parties being clearly defined. Each participant having clearly defined limits of supply. Each identified interface providing sufficient details including type, content and extent of information appropriate to this stage of the project, for example technical parameter (e.g. dimensioned locations, weights, etc.), delivery dates, who is providing, how will it be provided (drawing, emails, reports), what checking / verification will be performed and by whom.

Preparation and approval of the necessary design input documentation will ensure that the significant number of design contractors (around 6 to 8 firms including ENT) are fully informed on the agreed philosophy, assumptions and known parameters and design guidelines that are currently available to inform the necessary design work. The Design Philosophies (and other input documents) need to be consistent with each other and provide sufficient information for all design disciplines to make an effective start to actual design work. The aim of the documentation is to allowing different designers to work simultaneously and efficiently in separate design locations toward a common overall objective. Design of a large complex project where design activity is being carried out at multiple locations cannot be managed without the disciplined organisation of input documentation described above. The process of preparing the documentation also disciplines the client to properly inform the engineering functions on exactly what it is that the client wants to receive/achieve from the project. Definition of the project requirements using the Design Philosophy approach will ensure that the information is properly documented, cross referenced between chain elements and changes can be properly managed and controlled. The Design Philosophy Process document further describes the production, use and revision of Design Philosophies.
