o The fabrication, inspection and testing requirements.
o The pipe routing and support information; and
o A stress isometric, when stress analysis is required.
8.7 Acceptance
No pressure piping system shall be considered complete until accepted by both AIA
and Sasol representative. Acceptance of the pressurised system does not relieve the
manufacturer nor the managing/engineering contractor from contractual requirements.
8.8 As-built Isometrics/drawings
The AIA inspector shall stamp and verify that the manufacture’s marked-up isometrics
or fabrication drawings reflect the as-built condition of the piping and is in accordance
with contractual requirements before the inspection release note can be issued.
9. Reporting
The AIA shall issue written reports on the fabrication and inspection progress to the
Manufacturer and Sasol Projects and Engineering Project Manager, in accordance with
the agreed schedule (at least bi-weekly). These written reports must be sent
electronically. The AIA shall also highlight potential slippage on schedule to the Project
Managers of both Sasol Projects and Engineering and the Engineering Contractor in
the same progress report.
The AIA shall immediately advise the Manufacturer and Sasol Projects and Engineering
Project Manager of any non-conformance that requires corrective action considered of
importance, or that requires evaluation by the Manufacturer and/or by Sasol.
10. Language
The contract language is English and this shall be used on all documents related to this
RFQ and any purchase order that may arise from it.
