Turnover Package Management

Turnover package software that reads each binder showing complete and puts its records on one calendar, so the QA/QC lead rules on evidence before mechanical completion.

The problem

A turnover package reads complete over a test that no longer proves the weld

The completions system counts signed check sheets. When a subsystem reaches its last signature the contractor submits the binder, and it lands with hundreds of others in the weeks before first gas. Reviewers sample, because nobody can read them all.

Each record is checked alone. A weld repair closes on its own radiograph; its form never asks whether that weld sat inside a pressure test someone already signed. The test pack and the repair live in different parts of the binder, with different owners, and each one reads correct. The mismatch shows up in commissioning, or not at all.

The Problem Today

Completions systems track that each sheet is signed, and nobody reads whether the records agree with each other.

The Solution

  1. Each page readCheck sheets, weld logs, test packs and certificates, in each binder
  2. One calendar per subsystemEach dated record laid in order, whoever filed it
  3. Records that disagreeA test before a repair, a gauge out of date, no gate record for a signer
  4. The QA/QC lead rulesOpens both pages and holds the binder; a retest item goes out

Built-in controls

  • Agents read and flag, and never sign
  • Whoever proposes cannot sign it
  • A hold stops commissioning

One binder, one morning

Weld 1147 was cut out three days after its turnover package test was signed

Train 3 of the gas plant has 41 days to first gas, and hundreds of binders read complete in the same fortnight. On this morning the seal gas binder for one compressor stops being taken on trust.

demoPlant, contractor, crew and counts in this walk-through are sample data.

  1. 01Overnight

    364 subsystems show 100%, and in 23 the records don't add up

    Binder reader and calendar builder

    The completion tree draws the train as 14 systems and 638 subsystems. Overnight the agents read the 364 unsigned binders that show 100%, none sampled: 109,553 records on 453,803 pages. They left 27 flags in 23 subsystems: 22 wait for the completions engineer, 3 for a ruling, and 2 are already held.

  2. 0208:00

    158 of 158 check sheets signed, and in filing order nothing looks wrong

    Completions engineer

    Subsystem 31-04 feeds seal gas to Compressor A. Its binder is 1,412 pages and 344 records, all sheets signed, so the completions system calls it complete. Laid out as filed, each record sits at its page and the dots read like any clean binder. The engineer sees the flag only because the agents read every page, not a sample.

  3. 0308:05

    On one calendar the test sits three days before the weld it covers was redone

    Completions engineer

    One click lays every dated record on one line. Pressure test HTP-31-0412 was signed, a film audit then rejected weld 1147, and the weld was cut out and rewelded three days after the test. The repair page says it plainly: no later pressure test is named on this record. Both records are signed and correct alone. Together they leave a gap.

  4. 0408:11

    The agent is 97% sure, and says the ruling is not its call

    Completions engineer

    The two pages open side by side: the test boundary covers welds 1139 to 1152 at 2,160 psig, and the repair record puts weld 1147 inside it. The date tester states what it found and hands the question to the QA/QC lead. Below sit what stands on this test: the reinstatement check, the nitrogen blow, and the compressor taking gas on recycle.

  5. 0508:17

    He proposes a hold with a reason, and cannot sign it himself

    Completions engineer

    The engineer has opened both records, so the proposal is open to him. He picks the reason that fits what the pages show: the repair is inside the test boundary, so a retest is owed. A note is optional and he leaves it. The proposal goes to the QA/QC lead, because the person who proposes a hold may not be the one who signs it.

  6. 0608:29

    The QA/QC lead opens both pages herself, then signs the hold

    QA/QC lead

    She does not rule from the proposal. She opens the test record and the repair record, and only then can she rule. Her ruling is that this test no longer proves the weld. Mechanical completion for 31-04 cannot be signed, and commissioning cannot take it, until it is released after a retest or lifted by two people who open the records.

  7. 0708:30

    The retest goes to the contractor as an item, after her signature

    Item writer

    Item RX-0412 asks the contractor to pressure test the boundary again after the repair of weld 1147, then redo the steps that followed the old test. It was drafted after the ruling and sent on her signature. The contractor's coordinator sees only their own items and answers there, so the request is dated and tracked instead of living in an email thread.

  8. 0809:00

    Three subsystems are stopped by a hold, and he can see which

    Commissioning manager

    Systems are listed by the date they take gas, each with its sign-by date and where its binders stand. A band across the top names the three subsystems a hold stops, what each one feeds, and whether the contractor has booked a retest. For 31-04 that is Compressor 210-C-3101 on recycle, with no retest date yet. He knows what he cannot touch.

  9. 0909:10

    Seven entries show who opened which record, minute by minute

    Internal auditor

    Filtered to people, the audit trail reads the morning in order: the engineer opened the repair, the test and the repair again, then proposed; the QA/QC lead opened the test at 08:20 and the repair at 08:23, and signed at 08:29. The hold also wrote a category A punch item. Nothing here can be edited, and the evidence downloads with it.

Around the binder

Batches, gauges, signers and the mechanical completion register

The same train as the QA/QC lead, the commissioning team and the auditor see it.

Clear batchesClean binders grouped by system with a sign-by date. One person proposes, the QA/QC lead opens a random sample, the acceptance lead signs second. Flagged binders stay out.
Gauges on test day1,846 test packs set against 641 gauge and recorder certificates. Five gauges were out of date on their test day; each stops its binder until a person rules.
Who signed, and could they have412 stamps and signers compared with the site gate log and the authorization list. A missing gate record is not proof that someone was away, so a person decides.
Mechanical completion registerOne row per subsystem, the file commissioning loads. It says how each was signed and how many binders in a batch no person opened. Agents never sign a row.
What waits for the engineerEach flag the agents raised for him, how sure they are, and the date he should propose by. He opens the records before anything moves.
The agents at workWhat each agent read last night, what it may never do and who it hands to, beside the night's figures in plain words.

demoSample data, from the working solution.

Four kinds of record that read fine alone and wrong together

The 27 flags from the night read fall into these kinds.

Repairs or additions after the test

Work inside a boundary dated after the test that covers it

Gauges and recorders

A certificate out of date on test day, or a range unsuited to the pressure

Signers

A stamp with no gate record or authorization for that day

Other work out of order

Closed before inspected, tightened before the gasket change, dried out before the patch

Binder reader to item writer: what each agent may not do

They read, date, compare and draft. Rulings go to named people.

Binder reader

Reads each page and splits it into its records.

  • Never treats a scan it cannot read as read
Calendar builder

Lays date, tag, weld and signer on one calendar.

  • Never guesses a date
Date tester

Tests what must come before what, by equipment class.

  • Never says whether a test proves a weld
Gauge checker

Checks gauges and recorders on test day, and their range.

  • Never rules on an as-found reading
Signature checker

Compares stamps with the gate log and authorizations.

  • Says no record was found, never that a person was away
Punch reader

Reads each punch item against what is behind it.

  • Never recategorizes an item
Item writer

Drafts the retest item or return note after a ruling.

  • Sends nothing, and writes nothing before a signed hold

Calls that stay with the QA/QC lead and the acceptance lead

The agents flag. These decisions belong to people.

Whether a test still proves a weldThe date tester lists what it found; the QA/QC lead opens both records and rules.
Whether a repair is minor enough to waive a retestYour piping code lets the owner waive a retest for minor work. That is the owner's call, with two signatures and a written reason.
Lifting a holdA hold is released after a real retest, or lifted by two people who each open the records.
Taking gas into a held systemCommissioning is refused while a hold stands, and the screen says which hold.

What completions and QA/QC leads ask about turnover package review

What is a turnover package?

A turnover package is the binder a contractor submits for a subsystem when its check sheets are signed: check sheets, weld logs, radiographs, test packs, certificates and punch lists. This solution reads each turnover package in full, lays its records on one calendar and flags where they disagree, for the QA/QC lead to rule on before mechanical completion.

Does it replace our completions management system?

No. It reads the binders your completions system and document management system already hold, plus the calibration register, site access records and the project schedule. Status tracking stays where it is.

What happens when a weld is repaired after the hydrotest?

The date tester flags it with both pages. The completions engineer opens them and proposes, and the QA/QC lead opens them herself and rules. If she holds the binder, a retest item goes to the contractor and commissioning sees the hold.

Can a whole system be signed in one batch?

Yes, for binders that read clean. One person proposes the batch, the QA/QC lead opens the records of a random sample and the acceptance lead signs second. The mechanical completion certificate says how many binders no person opened.

Do the agents ever sign a mechanical completion certificate?

No. Agents read and flag. A person proposes, a different person rules, and the acceptance lead gives the second signature where one is needed.

What does the contractor see?

Only its own items: retests asked for, records owed, and their dates. It books retests, sends records or disputes with a reason, and the owner's rulings in progress stay hidden from it.
