RESULT OF AUDITS
Two Audits have been conducted since the project started.
The first audit on 15% construction phase completion was conducted on
November 15, 2012 by Client Auditor (SK E&C) at Wasit Gas Plant Project
site office. The overall conclusion was that the general requirements of the
quality system were maintained and a good commitment towards quality was
being displayed by the concerned personnel and strong leadership was
demonstrated by the project management.

15% construction phase completion audit by MMG was conducted in
accordance with schedule Q clause 7.3.2 requirements for the design,
procurement & construction work and MMG QA program to ascertain that
MMG / Wasit Gas Project Package-1 project activities are carried out in
accordance with the documents, drawings, specification and referred codes &
Standards and also the requirements of ISO: 9001 2008 . This audit was
conducted in two locations on 19, 20 & 21 November 2012 - Wasit Gas
Project Site and Dammam Steel Factory
The audit identified 13 Corrective Action Reports and 8 Observations for Site
and Steel Factory which will be addressed immediately. The overall
conclusion of the audit for site and steel factory was that with exception of
the findings, the quality was being maintained by the personnel involved and
by the project management.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

Customer feedback with regard to ongoing overall quality performance is well

documented in the various minutes of meeting, project correspondence and
thru logbook entries.
In general and applying across all discipline, when MMG QC accepts any
work at stage inspection, raise RFI for inspection by our client. The instances
of rejection are minimal, but some RFIs were rejected due to non-completion
of works or items offered for inspections were not ready.

PROCESS PERFORMANCE AND PRODUCT CONFORMITY

The management review agreed that there were sufficient and suitable
project procedures, specifications, method statements and test plans in place
to ensure monitoring project quality management processes were achieved
and planned results in a phased manner. The findings of audits and
periodical training program & toolbox talk to Foremen & Technicians
confirmed MMGs awareness and commitment to improved process
performance.
It was agreed that the adherence to the excellent Aramco system of SATIP,
SATR and SAIC with their comprehensive references to all applicable codes
and standards formed a sound basis to ensure all aspects of product
conformity.
CORRECTIVE AND PREVENTIVE ACTION
Corrective and Preventive actions are identified and recorded in QC
INSPECTION REPORTS, section of internal logbook reports complied by all
QC inspection personnel.
These internal observations are evaluated periodically by QC manager and
Project manager, and where necessary, actions were taken to eliminate the
potential nonconformity and to find root cause analysis for non-conformance.
During discussions on this topic, corrective actions on drawings control raised
concerns as construction site were using obsolete drawings without
controlled copy seal and superseded drawings were found in construction
site. Document control should be applied to construction site.

NON-CONFORMANCE REPORTS

Review of the NCR reporting and register confirmed that in general NCRs
raised were relevant and justified, and their disposition was in timely manner.
(some structural item NCRs still awaiting for closure by sub-contractor Hidada
Ltd. While observing nature of NCRs, there are some items with recurring
nature which should be controlled viz. concrete curing, backfilling of trenches without required Field Density
Tests, mis-fabrication of structural items, hydro test leaking in RTR U/G piping
because of piping materials and workmanship of joint bonding, delivery of
civil materials to site without lab test reports especially marl, sub-base, base
coarse, sand and CMU.
(Attachment 3.0)

QC INSPECTION REPORTS

RECOMMENDATION FOR IMPROVEMENT

The following recommendations were deemed to be necessary in order to

achieve quality standards and ensure project commitment.
1. Continuous quality awareness in-house training for QC personnel on
Quality Requirements, Procedures, Codes, Standards and Applications.
2. More tool box meetings and quality orientation for construction group on
quality workmanship and project requirements.
3. Adequate surveillance of QC personnel at construction site will enhance
quality aspects and adherence of quality requirements.
4. Document controlling system at site satellite office should be maintained
as a minimum requirement to avoid obsolete drawing and documents
5. Non-conformance of repeated type, especially backfilling without required
compaction test shall be investigated and root cause to be analyzed.
Preventive measures should be implemented to avoid re-work and further
non-conformance of recurring nature and adverse impact on project
completion schedule.
There should a relentless strive to maintain the minimum requirements as
stipulated in Schedule Q of Saudi Aramco Quality Plan.
It is the stated directive of the Executive Management that MMG employees
at all levels shall be familiar with the quality requirements defined within the
Corporate Quality Manual to ensure the desired quality achievement.
