2.5 Roles and responsibilities
The Standards and Implementation manager (S&I) will ensure that the document is distributed to the
relevant people for implementation. The document should be implemented by the Operational Unit Project
portfolio manager as well as the Network Engineering manager
2.6 Process for monitoring

Operational Unit Project portfolio manager is to ensure that the handover document has been completed for
all Primary Plant substation projects.
2.7 Related/supporting documents

The original document was published as DISASAAQ1 Rev 5 dated September 2005. The document was
revised and published as 34-1238 in February 2013.
3. Requirements
The document contains all possible quality check sheets and handover forms to execute Primary Plant
activities in a substation.
The document only caters for Primary Plant. The commissioning procedure for Control Plant is catered for in
the “Standard for commissioning Protection assets” (240-54615413) as well as other discipline specific
documents. All documents must therefore be completed for a substation project if the project includes
Primary and Control plant.
A Quality Handover document is specific to a project. Only include the relevant sections and duplicating
check sheets where required (e.g. In the case of two transformers two separate transformer check sheets
will be required or if no capacitor bank will be installed, exclude the capacitor bank quality check sheet). This
document is available on the Webb site in Excel format for ease of manipulation.
The document contains detailed check sheets. If the Project manager deems the project to be low risk,
check sheets may be amended. It is however important that handover sheets are duly completed. (This
should not be the norm but rather an exception because of increased risk due to lack of detailed quality
control).
Stages
The process is initiated by collating all relevant detail and documentation regarding the project and
stakeholders. This is catered for in tables in the General information section as per Annexure A.
The next stage is the actual execution of activities. This is catered for in Stages 1 to 12 (Annexure B1 to
B12). Each stage consists of two categories of documents, namely a
Quality Control check sheet (Quality checking of actual activities) and a
Handover form (confirming that the various Quality activity checks had been executed).
The next stage is the Handover stage. Provision is made for two stages for Handover.
Firstly, a Preliminary Handover stage to ensure that all quality checks have been performed in order to
switch the substation on.
The final Handover ensures that all activities relating to the project have been completed and the project is
closed off and handed over for Commercial operation.
The various stages are depicted in figure 1

3.1 General Project Information
The Design Engineer shall hand over the Final Design Package and Drawings to the Project Manager. It is
the responsibility of the Design Engineer to ensure that the latest revisions of all documentation have been
issued to the Project Manager.
The Project Manager will ensure that both the appointed Contractor and the appointed Clerk of Works
receive the necessary documents and drawings for all the construction stages. All parties are to complete
the Design Package Handover Form before commencement of construction.
Provision has been made for signatories and the recording of the relevant Drawing Numbers and Revisions
at the time of issue.
Drawing revisions due to Design Changes will be recorded in the Documentation Change Control Form.
The Project Manager will ensure that the Contractor and Clerk of Work receive the latest revision of the
drawings.
3.2 Requirements applicable to Stages 1 to 12

The Quality Control Checksheet will be issued by the Project Manager as part of the quality assurance
documentation and will be on site until the stage has been completed. The activities within the stage are to
be completed and checked against the design drawings and specifications to ensure compliance.
Prior to the commencement of the construction stage, the Clerk of Works will confirm with the Contractor
which activities have been identified as Holding Points and which activities he would like to be photographed
as proof of compliance.
Each activity, once completed by the contractor, will be signed off by both the Contractor and Clerk of Works.
The Clerk of Works will indicate whether the activity was:
Witnessed (W) – present during this activity
Verified (V) – not present but confirm compliance.
Certain Checksheets include key specifications such as soil classification, layer depth and number of layers
required as per the design. This is to ensure the specification is understood by both parties and complied
with.
Once all the activities for a specific stage have been completed, the Quality Control Checksheet shall be
presented to the Project Manager who will confirm that all the activities have been signed off by both the
Contractor and the Clerk of Works
The Handover Checklist is then used as a high level checklist to ensure that all Quality Control activities
have been executed as per the Quality Control Checksheet. The Handover Checklist is the responsibility of
the Project Manager and must be updated at least once a month during the site meeting.
The required forms must be duplicated for multiple products in a substation (e.g. for two transformers make
two copies of the transformer checksheets).
3.2.1 Additional requirements applicable to Stage 5 - “Civil Works: Equipment

Foundations & Cable trenches”
The checksheet for the foundations can be done as a bulk item check or a checksheet for each foundation or
group of foundations. This is to be decided between the Clerk of Works and the Contractor.
Page: 10 of 68
3.2.2 Additional requirements applicable to Stage 9 - “Steelwork” and “Fencing”
The Contractor shall ensure that all manufactured steelwork is inspected at delivery and galvanizing
thickness checked and verified before erection. The Contractor needs to inform the Clerk of Works once the
steelwork is on site. The Clerk of Works needs to arrange an inspection date with the Standards and
Implementation Representative for inspection and approval of steelwork.
The Checksheet for the steelwork can be done as a bulk item check or a checksheet for each item or group
of items. This is to be decided between the Clerk of Works and the Contractor.
3.2.3 Additional requirements specific to Stage 10 - “Power Transformer Delivery &

Assembly”
The Project Manager must notify the Eskom Plant and Control Plant Maintenance Departments of the
projected delivery date in order for them to provide a representative to witness the Transformer delivery and
acceptance activity.
During the delivery of the Power Transformer, the Clerk of Works shall verify and complete the Transformer
Delivery and Assembly Check sheet as per Stage 10 (This excludes DFM 34-1901 that will be completed by
the Plant representative)
Control Plant Maintenance department must witness the on-site transformer tests as executed by the
manufacturer.
3.2.4 Additional requirements specific to Stage 11 - “Primary Equipment Installation”

The Contractor shall inspect all deliveries from Manufacturers in order to ensure that the equipment is in
good condition before off-loading on site.
Only high level data such as equipment type and serial number is captured on the checksheets. Once the
equipment is installed, the Project Manager will inform the Plant Department to commence data capturing as
per the Eskom Data capturing requirements.
