5.1 Material Control Engineer Material Control engineer may oversee
implementation of the Material Storage, Protection and Preservation procedure,
material handling, receiving, storage and issuance of items. He shall ensure
availability of quality materials and implement an effective system for tracking and
monitoring of project-intended items to ensure timely serving of the project material
requirements and its proper traceability

5.2 QC Inspector QC Inspectors shall do surveillance inspection to oversee the

implementation of this procedure throughout the project

6.0 PROCEDURE (GENERAL REQUIREMENTS)

6.1 Pipes and pipeline materials arrive at the site and shop in various forms of
fabrication including fabricated spools, assemblies, random lengths of pipe, and
fittings. All materials shall be suitably stored and protected from the site conditions.
Materials subject to sea spray, blowing dust and sand, freezing or elevated
temperatures may require special storage precautions

6.2 For coded shipments such as pipe, steel plate etc. will be off loaded in
designated lay down storage area, roped off and designated as a hold area until
Quality Control is notified via Material Inspection Notice.

6.3 For material that is rejected, it will remain in quarantine area; a red hold tag
will be affixed by Quality Control(reason for reject and ,project name, date shall be
clearly marked)

SEG purchased or Aramco issued materials which are found to be:

a. Damaged,
b. Not to specification,
c. Not capable of being readily identified.

disposition is marked with a QC Hold Tag. Non-conformances are documented and
resolved via Non-conformance Report by QC Inspector/ Engineer. The materials
shall not be used until clearance has been obtained.

6.5 Where it is not practicable to place materials to a quarantine area, they

shall be clearly marked or labelled to indicate their "quarantine" status.

6.6 For SEG supplied materials, the Project Manager and QC Manager shall
agree the appropriate course of action for the quarantined items and complete the
remedial action section of the Non-conformance Report. The QC Manager shall
record the actions taken to clear the quarantined items on the Non-conformance
Report.
6.7 In the event that a satisfactory solution cannot be achieved for the
quarantined items, they shall be returned to the vendor or Client as applicable with
the approval of the Project Manager. The QC Manager shall state the reason for the
rejection on the Non-conformance report. Material Controller shall prepare a
Rejection note and copy to all concerned personals

6.8 Whenever it is a project requirement, the material grades of pipe and

fittings shall be identified by means of a color code, which shall be applied upon
receipt of the materials. The color coding and type of paint to be used shall be as
per approved procedure .CS pipe material no color coding will be done.

6.9 lt is essential that adequate racks, bins, packing, pallets, etc. be provided
for the storage of materials inside the warehouse, with sufficient passageways to
afford ease of access for trolleys etc. Materials must not be stored directly on the
ground. Sensitive materials shall be kept in house and in controlled temperature,

stored outside shall be elevated above the ground and above the maximum water run-off. Bulks
shall be stored in a manner that facilitates routine inspection and preventative. Maintenance
Storage methods shall protect materials from infiltration of water, dust, dirt, vermin, insects,
etc. Materials shall not be stored in non-drainable positions, which will tap water. Sensitive
materials, such as stainless steel and non-metallic, are properly stored and protected by
polyethylene sheets

from undamaged materials.

11. TRACEABILITY
Materials shall be inspected for proper markings in accordance with project standards
and the purchase order. Material traceability must be maintained at all times. Impact
