Sigma checks that the most current revisions of As-Built drawings are in use on the shop floor. Inspectors verify As-Built Drawings with Engineering Drawings, P&IDs, and Wiring Diagrams for compliance. Sigma will mark up As-Built Drawings with all findings, inspection notes, and dimensional measurements of the equipment as follows:
- Check Head / Baffle Fit-up
- Complete Internal inspection / Open end inspection
- Check Head / Baffle clean before Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) if applicable, visual & dimensional
- Check installation of all nozzles and coupling, with the correct orientation, and liner location
- Check all nozzles and couplings for proper corrosion allowance and pressure ratings
- Check for the presence of nozzle baffles
- Check Head coupling(s) and nozzle(s) positioning
- Check Head(s) for proper welding to shell
- Check the dimensional spacing of tray shelves
- Check the shell and the skirt (identify if insulation rings or hangers are present)
- Check the diameter of apertures, vents, and couplings (manway openings, T-connections, Elbow connections, valves, nipples, & nozzles) on equipment
- Check point-to-point length between Center-point of apertures, vents, and couplings (manway openings, T-connections, Elbow connections, valves, nipples, & nozzles) on equipment
- Check point-to-point length between structure supports (legs, cradles, and saddles) on equipment
- Check point-to-point length between weld seams on equipment
- Verify tolerance as ≤ max on all measurements and mark up As-Built Drawings
- Mark on equipment any anomalies for repair/remediation, such as weld quality or appearance, and/or quantitative physical measurements > max tolerance of engineering specifications
- QA/QC “Sign-off” signature on As-Built Drawings
Sigma provides As-Built Drawing verification as part of the company's core competency in Third-Party Verification (Vendor Surveillance) and QA/QC review/oversight.
