The Role of an Engineering Contractor in Quality Assurance and Quality Control in E, EPC and EPCM Projects ; Suunnittelutoimiston rooli laadunvarmistuksessa ja -valvonnassa E, EPC ja EPCM projektisopimusmalleissa
As the subject of the study, the business unit of the case company providing process industry engineering office services has recently been running a development project to promote unified operating models. Concerning the theme of the development project, the study’s objective in this thesis was to analyse the role of the engineering office in quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) when providing services as a contractor in different project contract models. The contract models examined in the work were the contract models for Engineering service (E), implementation service; engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) and contracting service; engineering, procurement and construction (EPC). In the study, the responsibilities of the design office were evaluated in terms of QA/QC measures and their variations in these different contract models. In the background theory section of the thesis, the literature review introduced quality as a concept in the project environment in the context of implementation projects in the process industry, as well as the practices of QA/QC measures in project work. In the work's applied research, the participant observation method was used by acting as an active member of the project organisations. Based on the observations, the work discussed four different example cases, which were selected to represent the quality management of the implementation project in the different phases, i.e. engineering, procurement and construction. Also, regarding the quality deviations of the example cases, categorising the root causes was an important criterion when selecting the cases to be discussed. To complete the observations, individual interviews were conducted with the project personnel by applying open interview methods. Development proposals for corrective measures were derived from the example cases. When acting as the contractor of the implementation project, the design office is responsible for preparing and implementing its own QA/QC process to meet the quality ...
