conditions.
The success of the project depends on the effective co-operation of all contractors on site, and the
Contractor, if necessary, must discuss his programme on a day to day basis with the Project Manager
to ensure effective co-ordination.
The working area is also within a promulgated port area and the Contractor and his people shall
observe all ISPS and Port Regulations within the port area. Copies of the Harbour Regulations are
obtainable from the Port admin offices.
The fullest collaboration between the Contractor, the Port and the Project Manager is essential in
regard to the working of the port.
6.1.7 Health and safety facilities on Site
At all times during the fabrication, erection and testing of the equipment the Contractor is responsible
for the safety of all persons on the Site and on the equipment and shall have the necessary systems
and procedures in place to effectively manage this.
6.1.8 Site services and facilities
The contractor shall indicate what services and facilities are required if any. The Contractor is
responsible for connecting up and for electrical cabling in the working area together with any
associated costs.
A water supply point is available to the Contractor if required in the working area.
The Contractor must make his own arrangements for the disposal of sewerage and wastewater.
Sewerage may not be wasted on site. Transnet facilities may not be used.
The Contractor must make his own arrangements for telecommunication facilities, if required, for his
use during the execution of the works.
The Contractor shall provide everything else necessary for providing the Works.
plant and protection systems is performed according to acceptable historic standards. The objective
is that:
6.2.2.2.1 Tests required for the commissioning of protection systems are specified in enough
detail,
6.2.2.2.2 Resources are allocated to perform the tests,
6.2.2.2.3 Accountability for performance of the tests rests with the resource allocated,
6.2.2.2.4 Documentation is available which indicates:
Test results
Equipment tested
Person who performed the test
The date on which the tests were performed.
These Pre-Commissioning Tests are carried out after the Contractor’s own proving of the equipment
and are conducted in the presence of the Supervisor. The required tests on all items of equipment
will be agreed between the Supervisor and the Contractor. The Contractor provides the
commissioning team with the necessary test equipment, and ensures that the test equipment used
has a valid calibration certificate.
Initial Defects listing will be done at this time.
The Contractor gives the Supervisor a minimum of 48 hours’ notice of his readiness to carry out the
Pre Commissioning Activities.
After successful completion of the Contractor’s pre-commissioning tests, a Mechanical Completion
Certificate will be issued by the Supervisor.
6.2.2.3 Cold Commissioning
Cold Commissioning will not be permitted to start unless the mechanical Completion Certificate has
been issued following successful completion of Pre-Commissioning tests and inspections. All
Category A and B items on the Defect List (also known as the Punch List) must be rectified before
Cold Commissioning can start.
After acceptance of the pre-commissioning tests and inspection by the Supervisor, the Contractor
will fully test the equipment supplied and/or installed by him in the presence of the Project Manager
and the Employer’s representatives and according to the accepted protocol.
6.2.3 Taking Over the Works for Hot Commissioning
After successful cold commissioning the unloader will be taken over by the Employer for the purposes
of hot commissioning and then becomes the Employer’s responsibility in terms of any Health and
Safety regulations pertaining. The Contractor is required to remain in attendance.
6.2.3.1 Hot Commissioning
After successful completion of cold commissioning, the unloader will be hot commissioned i.e. with
material.
The Employer will endeavour to make material available for hot commissioning as soon as possible
after the Plant has been made available for hot commissioning by the Contractor.
The Employer gives the Contractor a minimum of 48 hours’ notice of the date and time that hot
commissioning can take place. The Contractor must, however, make provision for a maximum delay
of 3 days to accommodate ship or rail transport schedules. Any standing time delays exceeding
three days will be paid for by the Employer at scheduled rates in accordance with the conditions of
contract. The Contractor makes provision for hot commissioning to start at any hour of the day or
night.
Hot commissioning involves 100 hours of trouble free operation of each Caillard unloader. This fully
operational test will be undertaken by the Employer with the Contractor in attendance. This test, to
prove the operational capacity of the each Caillard unloader to the satisfaction of the Project Manager
and the Employer, must be with manning levels as agreed beforehand and be based on that which
is considered sufficient to rectify any likely faults that may occur, to ensure the minimum of
disruption to the Employer’s operations.
Any adjustment, repair, etc. necessary to achieve the required capacity and specified condition of
the installation is to be done at the expense of the Contractor.
If any part of the system fails to meet its designed performance criteria, or breaks down during the
hot commissioning period, it is to be repaired or replaced and, at the discretion of the Project
Manager, a further similar performance test will be carried out. Stoppages of less than 30 minutes
during the first twenty hours of operation are acceptable to facilitate minor adjustments and repairs.
Any other breakdown during the performance test will result in the test being abandoned. After the
necessary repairs or modifications have been carried out, the performance test will be repeated in
its entirety. Hot commissioning will not be considered complete until the system has operated for
100 continuous hours’ trouble-free (interruptions for operational reasons excepted).
The plant is to be capable of sustaining the designed capacity on a continuous basis under normal
operating conditions relating to this type of plant in the bulk materials handling industry. The decision
as to the plant’s ability to maintain such operating conditions will remain entirely with the Project
Manager. Plant which meets the design capacity under conditions of obvious stress or overload will
not be accepted by the Project Manager.
The costs of any abortive tests are for the Contractor’s account. The Contractor is also responsible
for costs incurred by the Project Manager and the Employer resulting from these abortive tests.
6.2.4 Start-up procedures required to put the works into operation
The Contractor submits a detailed start up protocol as part of the commissioning protocol, two weeks
prior to commissioning.
The Defects Period commences from the date of hand-over of the completed works. The Contractor
remains in attendance, or is available on site within two hours of the notification of the defect (or
with reasonable notice by agreement of the Project Manager), to attend to any defects in the works
that become manifest during this period. The Contractor is liable for the observance and performance
of his Sub-Contractors and Service providers in respect of any guarantees given by them with any
item of plant or equipment supplied to the Contractor.
All costs of remedial works, including materials, services and labour, are for the
Contractor’s account.
6.2.7 Access given by the Employer for correction of Defects
The Employer will arrange access dates to rectify defects.
The Contractor complies with the constraints and procedures of the Employer as described in section
3.1 above where the Project Manager arranges access for the Contractor after Completion. The
Contractor complies with the requirements of the Employer’s Health and Safety Standard.
6.2.8 Performance tests after Completion
The 100 hour performance test will be conducted as part of the hot commissioning
6.2.9 Operational maintenance after Completion
Operational maintenance of the Caillard unloader after completion of the Performance Test remains
the responsibility of the Contractor until the Data Packs, Training Manuals and Maintenance and
Operation Manuals have been delivered and accepted. No additional payment will be made for any
maintenance which may become necessary during this period.
Plant and Materials made and tested to alternative standard specifications will be considered at the
discretion of the Project Manager, provided that such specifications are not less stringent than those
laid down.
7.2 General
All Plant and Materials shall be new.
All Plant shall be installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
All Plant must be securely mounted on the Caillard unloader such that vibration and movement will
not dislodge any components.
All rotating components shall be statically balanced before fitting. High speed rotating components
shall also be dynamically balanced.
All fatigue sensitive welds on manufactured components shall be post weld treated by local burr
grinding and shot preening afterwards.
All drawing will be provided to the bidders in a compactable disc (CD). This is due to the big size of
these drawings
