ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT PROCEDURE
OFF-PROJECT DESIGN REVIEW
3DP-G04-00034, Revision 003, 2013 September 20
Prepared by: Mirelle Younan/Saurabh Sharma
Approved by: A.A. Avidan
Quality Concurrence by: M.W. Costas
1.0 PURPOSE
To ensure that critical engineering design products safely and effectively satisfy the objectives of
the project and that the technical content is consistent with the high standards and practices
established by the discipline Chief Engineers (CEs).
The off-project design review process for the selected project design documents shall be
implemented by using the Design Review Notice (DRN) and Design Control Check List (DCCL).
2.0 GENERAL
2.2 Criteria
The discipline CEs provide technical overview of their project team by means of off-project review
of design methods and selected specifications, calculations, design criteria, studies, drawings and
database contents. This off-project review shall be included in the project discipline jobhour
estimate and the approved budget.
2.3 Definitions
Design Control Check List (DCCL) – The project discipline document that lists the documents
that must be submitted to the respective CE(s) for review.
Design Review Notice (DRN) – The project document that transmits each item on the DCCL to
the respective CE for review, serves as a record of review, and provides the appropriate
review status.
Project Home Office – The office where the Project Management Team and the Project Team
are located. The office that sponsors the project.
Remote Office – The office where project execution work is performed remotely from the
Project Home Office.
Standard DCCL Template – A discipline-specific DCCL based on the DCCL template in Exhibit
C. This document is created and maintained by each discipline CE. Projects use this template
to generate project-specific DCCLs.
Standard Design Deliverable (SDD) – Any engineering design standard, reference drawing, or
engineering design document identified by the CE’s office that can be used without
modification as an engineering deliverable (e.g., standard specification, procedure, standard,
instruction, guide, Underground Piping Details, P&ID Symbols and Legends).
3.0 PROCEDURE
DCCL and DRN numbering shall be in accordance with Management Instruction RIM 200,
Standard Document Numbering or project procedure.
During the early phases of a project, a DCCL shall be prepared by each project discipline
based on guidance from the respective CE. Only one DCCL shall be prepared for each
discipline on a project. The division of responsibility (DOR) among participating offices and
other required disciplines shall be denoted on the DCCL. Exhibit A provides a flowchart,
Exhibit B provides the instructions for completing and using the DCCL, and Exhibit C illustrates
the typical DCCL form.

Determine the DOR for the DRN reviews when engineering for a project is performed in
multiple offices. The discipline DCCL shall reflect the documents to be reviewed and
approved by the appropriate CE in the project home office and those to be reviewed
and approved by the CEs of the remote offices.
Ensure that the Standard DCCL template (based on Exhibit C sample) is available to
the EGS. The Standard DCCL template shall be reaffirmed whenever significant
changes in the GBU organization structure, discipline work process, or deliverables
occur as applicable.
Independently ensure that critical design areas/tasks are included for Off-Project Design
Review
Determine whether new deliverables due to changes in project scope shall require Off-
Project Design Review
Indicate approval of each issued revision of the DCCL by signing/initialing the DCCL
cover sheet
Ensure that the DCCL is implemented in a correct and timely manner and advise the
EGS of any deficiencies
As design documents on the DCCL are completed, and prior to their release or use for
construction, procurement award, or contract award, the EGS shall forward them to the
responsible CE via the DRN process. Documents submitted for review shall be checked on
project prior to submittal to the CE unless agreed-to otherwise. Exhibit D provides a flowchart,
Exhibit E provides the instructions for completing and using the DRN and Exhibit G illustrates
the typical DRN form.
DRNs shall be tracked using a DRN log maintained by each discipline EGS on the project
server or in the project EDMS through Document Control Center (DCC). The log shall contain
each DRN line item and its key milestones. Exhibit I shows a sample DRN log.
The CE or designee shall note any comments; mark the cause code and approval status on
the DRN; and return it, with marked-up documents as required, to the responsible EGS. The
EGS shall be responsible for resolving and incorporating review comments. DRN technical
deficiency metrics as defined in EDP 3DP-G03-00015, Engineering Quality Dashboards,
should be maintained in each office/GBU. Refer to Exhibit F for DRN technical deficiency
cause codes.
Once approved through the DRN process, documents on the DCCL only need to be
resubmitted for review, via a new DRN, when they are significantly revised or as directed by
the responsible CE. Significant revisions include those affecting:
Design concepts – for critical components or elements of the design
Design criteria – for critical components or elements of the design
Compliance with codes and standards

Designate appropriate staff reviewers for the DRN packages submitted by the EGS
Encourage early collaboration between the DRN Reviewer and the EGS
Ensure that reviews are completed in a timely manner and returned to the project in
accordance with the “Required Date” specified on the DRN
Exhibit H is a suggested DRN reviewer checklist. The checklist is not required to be submitted
with the DRN.
The pre-job brief (or task assignment brief) is considered a critical element in the efficient
production of quality engineering deliverables. The EGS or designee shall conduct a pre-job
brief with the CE or designee for DRNs at the initiation of the DRN deliverable (unless
specifically waived by the CE), with the following exceptions:
Documents prepared by non-Bechtel parties (consultants, subcontractors, vendors, etc.)
Documents whose preparation is relatively straight-forward (e.g., design criteria,
preauthorized field change document [FCD] guidelines, etc.)
Documents that require relatively few jobhours to prepare (less than 60 is the general
rule), unless they constitute design basis
Revisions to documents where a pre-job brief was already conducted
The items on the DRN reviewer checklist (Exhibit H) should be addressed in the pre-job brief.
Organizations such as Environmental, G&HES and MET, etc. may not be represented on the
project as separate Engineering discipline design groups and may not have their own DCCL.
In instances where multiple disciplines are included within one project Engineering design
group, the PEM shall determine whether the project requires these disciplines to prepare
separate DCCLs or include their submittal requirements within other discipline DCCLs. The
PEM should consult the discipline CE(s) and define the DOR when ambiguities exist.
When review by CEs from more than one office is required, the deliverable performing office
shall conduct the reviews in various offices either in parallel or series with prior agreement with

the GBU CE. The project must reconcile both sets of review comments. The DRN form may be
modified to include only the participating office(s) CE/DRN Reviewer, as applicable.
Similarly, when multiple discipline submittal requirements are included on one DCCL, the DRN
form may be modified to include the applicable CEs. It is preferable that these reviews be
conducted in parallel and the same DRN form/SDN may be used.
A number of special circumstances may occur while a document is in the DRN process (or
after the DRN review is complete but unresolved comments remain):
Project is cancelled or suspended: In the case of project cancellation, postponement or
suspension, the DRN Reviewer should obtain guidance from the CE. Typically, the DRN
review ceases at that point; the DRN is marked as “Not Approved” and returned to the
project for proper retention.
Scope is changed: Whenever new deliverables are identified because of the changes
in project scope of services, the responsible CE shall be consulted to determine
whether off-project review is required. The DCCL shall be revised, approved and
reissued in the same manner as the original issue whenever documents are deleted or
added to the DCCL by the EGS and CE. If the project scope changes either during a
DRN review (and the document undergoing DRN review is deemed no longer in the
project scope) or after the review is completed and there are outstanding comments yet
to be resolved, then the EGS indicates on the DRN what has occurred along with the
proposed resolution. If the original DRN was “Not Approved” or “Approved with
Comments – Resubmit,” the proposed comment resolution may include the
recommendation that any further effort, including resubmittal, is no longer warranted
because of the deleted project scope.
Document content is updated/revised (while document is undergoing DRN review):
When notified by the project that the subject document is being revised, the DRN
Reviewer should mark the DRN “Not Approved.” The revised document should be sent
under a new DRN cover sheet (with a new DRN SDN) as a “Resubmittal.”
Non-Bechtel documents are generally not subject to the DRN process. The preferred method
is to process them as supplier/vendor documents per EDP 3DP-G06-00009, Supplier
Engineering and Quality Verification Documents. However, should a non-Bechtel document
(such as proposed evaluations or studies by vendors or consultants) be forwarded to the CE’s
office for review using the DRN process, the DRN Reviewer should follow the process as
outlined in this EDP. If it is deemed unlikely that the owner of the non-Bechtel document will
revise the document in a timely manner, the project should indicate its proposed course of
action (such as “comments forwarded to company xyz”) and obtain the DRN Reviewer’s
acceptance.

3.8 Document Management
Issued revisions of DRNs and DCCLs shall be recorded in the project EDMS. Each EGS is
responsible for periodically verifying the accuracy of entries.
Upon receipt of a signed DRN, Project Document Management shall enter the cause codes as
marked on the DRN cover sheet, into the EDMS.
Project Document Management is responsible for distribution and retention of DRNs and DCCLs
as prescribed in the project administration procedures. The EGS shall identify appropriate
distribution of the DCCLs and DRNs.
