for any amendment to a Purchase Order which changes the quantity of any
Inspectable Material.
2. CONSTRUCTION AND PRE-COMMISSIONING PHASE PROJECT SPECIFIC

2.1 “CONSTRUCTION AND PRE-COMMISSIONING PHASE” shall mean the

time between issuance of a Notice to Proceed and Mechanical Completion
of the WORK.
2.2 As a minimum, CONTRACTOR shall assign, or require its Subcontractor to

assign SAUDI ARAMCO approved quality personnel to the WORK at WORK
Sites in accordance with EXHIBIT I to this Attachment VI. With SAUDI
ARAMCO Approval, inspectors may be qualified to inspect more than one
discipline; in this case, however, he may not fulfill more than one full time
position at any time during the execution of the Contract. For example, an
inspector qualified to inspect work both in electrical and instrumentation
disciplines can only be allocated to fulfill either one of the inspection
positions at a time.
Q-VI-1
NS
2.3 Prior to the start of construction, CONTRACTOR shall initiate a kick-off

meeting with all concerned parties to ensure full understanding on the
execution, requirements and control of the activity.
2.4 CONTRACTOR shall establish a system of serialized log for all NDT
uniquely identifying the individual welds to be tested and method applied.
This log is to be an ongoing log of NDT requests and completions as the
Project progresses. The log reference (serial number) for each weld or
welds examined shall be included in NDT reports. NDT of any repair shall
be sequentially identified in the log and include the log reference of the initial
NDT that determined need for the repair.
2.5 CONTRACTOR may, upon Approval of the Company Representative,

subcontract the establishment and continuation of the NDT Log to the main
construction Subcontractor. In such event, CONTRACTOR shall remain
fully responsible for the establishment, upkeep and accuracy of the NDT
