KEY ENGINEERING RISKS

1.0 PURPOSE
This practice defines the work process and tools to be used for reporting and tracking the Key Engineering
Risks.

2.0 APPLICATION
This practice applies to any Home Office project in the FEED and detailed engineering phases. The
Project Engineering Manager implements this practice and the Office Manager of Engineering makes sure
each Project Engineering Manager is performing this work.

It should be noted that the work process to define the Key Engineering Risks and load the risks into the
BRMF system is started during the proposal phase. It is the responsibility of the Engineering Manager
assigned to the proposal to initiate and implement the requirements of this practice during the proposal
phase to, at a minimum, identify the appropriate Key Engineering Risks and quantify those risks in concert
with the Proposal Manager and the office Risk Representative.

KEY ENGINEERING RISKS

6.0 REQUIREMENTS
6.1 The Project Engineering Manager will review the listing of key engineering risks and
identify those risks applicable to the project.
Twenty-nine key engineering risks that have the most impact on projects in the FEED and
detailed engineering phases have been identified. These key engineering risks are identified in
Attachment 01.

The Project Engineering Manager must review and address all 29 risks. Of the total 29 risks
shown on the list the first eighteen risks (risks 1 to 18) are considered mandatory for inclusion in
the BRMF, provided the risk topic applies to the project Scope of Work (FEED project risks will
differ from Detailed Design risks). In addition to the first 18 risks, the remaining eleven (risks 19
to 29) are to be analyzed and if applicable to the project scope, must be added to the BRMF. The
total of the risks judged to apply will be included in the Project’s business risk management
framework (BRMF). As additional engineering risks arise during the course of the project, the
Project Engineering Manager needs to inform the Project Manager and Project Risk
Representative for inclusion in the BRMF and for review during the next project BRMF review
session.

6.2 The Project Engineering Manager will develop mitigations for the identified key
engineering risks applicable to the project in cooperation with the Office Risk
Representative to develop mitigation strategies for each selected Key Engineering Risk
and then upload into the BRMF system.
The Project Engineering Manager, with the assistance of the Office / Project Risk Representative
will develop mitigation strategies for all the applicable identified engineering risks to be included
in the project BRMF. The work process provided in BRMF Practice 000.000.2000 section 6.2.5 is
used by the Risk Representative to guide the risk discussion. Included as Attachment 02, is a
snapshot of pertinent columns of the BRMF Engineering Risk input sheet used by the Project
Risk Representative to input the selected Engineering Risks into the project BRMF. This
Attachment 02 includes sample mitigation strategies for all of the 29 Key Engineering Risks that
should be considered by the Project Engineering Manager when developing their mitigations.

6.2.1 The Project Engineering Manager will develop the mitigations for the key
engineering risks with collaborative input from the Engineering Project Leads.

6.2.2 The Engineering Project Leads will incorporate the key engineering risk
mitigations into their execution plans and communicate the mitigation to their
functional teams.

6.2.3 The Project Engineering Manager will contact the Office Risk Representative and
the Project Risk Representative (if one is assigned) and provide the selected risks
and mitigation strategies for input to the project BRMF.

6.2.4 The Project Risk Representative will facilitate the input of the selected risks and
the developed mitigation strategies into the project BRMF.
6.3 The Project Engineering Manager will attend monthly key engineering risks review
meetings with the Office Manager of Engineering to review the risks and mitigations.
The Office Manager of Engineering sets up monthly key engineering risks review meetings with
the office Project Engineering Managers to review the project Key Engineering Risks with the
Mitigation Strategies and Action Plans. This is the opportunity for the Project Engineering
Manager to present the selected Key Engineering Risks related to each project to the Office
Manager of Engineering and others attending this review. It is the opportunity to review the
critical engineering risk items and receive comments and guidance. To facilitate review and
discussion of the risks, BRMF generated reports need to be used. There are a number of reports
that can be easily generated from the BRMF system which present the BRMF information in a
number of ways (refer to BRMF Practice 000.000.2000 Attachment 05 for a list and description
of reports available). Exhibit AB (see Attachment 03), which contains the Project’s Key
Engineering Risks and mitigations, need to be used to review risks and mitigations. The Project
Engineering Manager can obtain a copy of the BRMF reports from the Office and/or Project Risk
Representative.

These meetings occur prior to the monthly office project status reviews. The Office Managers of
Engineering discuss the Risk issues with the Project Engineering Managers in detail outside of
PSR meetings to confirm appropriate mitigation actions are taken.

6.3.1 The Project Engineering Leads will communicate any issues with current key
engineering risk mitigations to the Project Engineering Manager for discussion in
the monthly key engineering risk meeting.

6.3.2 The Project Engineering Manager will communicate any updates or changes to
key engineering risk mitigations from the monthly meeting back to the Project
Engineering Leads for implementation.
6.4 The Business Line Risk Executive and the Office Risk Representative will attend the key
engineering risks review meetings on a quarterly basis at a minimum, or more frequently
as needed.
The Business Line and Office Risk Representatives attend the key engineering risk review
meetings set up by the Office Manager of Engineering on a quarterly basis to stay informed of
potential key engineering risk impacts on the projects in that office and to provide direct support
to the project for BRMF and risk issues.

In the event that the project engineering risk profile changes, or a key engineering risk is
manifesting on a project, the Office and Business Line Risk Representatives can be called to
attend key engineering risk meetings more frequently.

KEY ENGINEERING RISKS

6.5 The Project Engineering Manager will attend the PSR each month.
The Project Engineering Manager needs to attend and participate in the monthly office PSR
meeting. The Project Engineering Manager will present the PSR Key Engineering Risk slide. The
Key Engineering Risks PSR slide is found in 000.200.F0350. Not all the Risks identified on the
Key Engineering Risks PSR slide(s) need to be discussed. The only engineering risks to be
reviewed during PSR are those where the mitigation is not being supported by internal or
external influences increasing the probability the risk event will occur.

Note: The Key Engineering Risks slide mirrors the Engineering Risk information included in the
BRMF Exhibit AB and is prepared by the Project Controls group on the project. The PSR slide
includes the 18 key risks and mitigations. Additional sheets, if required, may be added by the
user to cover any of the remaining relevant Engineering Risks 19 through 29.

In the event the Project Engineering Manager is away from the office when PSR occurs the
Project Engineering Manager selects a delegate to attend on their behalf.

In addition, the Office Manager of Engineering attends the office Project Status Review (PSR)
each month. In the event the Office Manager of Engineering is away from the office when project
status reviews occur, the Office Manager of Engineering selects a delegate to attend on their
behalf.

6.6 The Project Engineering Manager will attend the initial Business Risk Management
Framework (BRMF) meeting and each subsequent BRMF update meeting.
The Project Engineering Manager is required to attend each project BRMF update session.

6.7 The Project Manager will verify the key engineering risks identified on the project are
included and updated in the BRMF.
The Project Manager has the responsibility to maintain the project BRMF throughout the life of
the Project.

6.8 The Project Engineering Manager will inform the engineering team that confidentiality
requirements exist for sharing BRMF information.
Fluor’s Business Risk Management Framework (BRMF) is a Company confidential program. The
documents generated from the BRMF system are designated as “ATTORNEY – CLIENT
PRIVILEDGED COMMUNICATIONS”. Fluor employees will not give Owners or Clients any
aspect of Fluor’s Business Risk Management Framework (BRMF) including risk practices, risk
bulletins, risk lists, BRMF reports or otherwise provide access to the software or the printed
materials, including the Key Engineering Risks Table in Attachment 01 of this document. If any of
the Engineering Team is approached by a Client to share the BRMF information, the Project
Engineering Manager should immediately inform the Project Manager of such request. There is a
specific Corporate Risk Practice that must be implemented by Senior Management to facilitate
the sharing of the BRMF information with Clients.

UG Underground

Very Large Module (VLM) A VLM is a module weighing more than 600 tons. Generally, above 600 tons
requires nonconventional lifting / jacking and transporting methods.
Transportation is often by barge or heavy transport vessel (HTV). VLMs provide
an opportunity to maximize modular content. Construction of a VLM is often
segregated into stages in the module yard and the WBS level – Stage – is used
to define these boundaries.

Work Breakdown Structure Represents the way the project work will be defined, planned, managed, and
(WBS) controlled by subdividing the project scope of work into manageable segments
(elements). A WBS is a hierarchical framework (family tree), composed of
products and services that progressively and logically subdivides the entire
work content. It serves the control needs of a project by providing a structure
for performing work and defining how cost and schedule data are summarized
and reported. The WBS is developed from the project scope to a level of detail
that defines the framework for the organization and reporting of project
information, allowing for effective project control of costs and schedule.
Elements of the WBS serve as the foundation for the Project Execution Plan as
well as project control functions.
