Design, procurement and construction (EPC)/turnkey project EPC contracting, that is, the EPC contractor of the project undertakes design, procurement, construction and commissioning in accordance with the contract, and is fully responsible for the quality, safety, cost and schedule of the contracted project.
  2. Design-Construction EPC contracting (D-B), that is, the EPC contracting company undertakes the design and construction of the project in accordance with the contract, and is fully responsible for the quality, safety, cost, schedule, occupational health and environmental protection of the contracted project.
  3. According to the different scales, types of projects and the requirements of the project contractor, EPC contracting can also adopt the design-procurement EPC contracting (E-P) and procurement-construction EPC contracting (P-C) methods.
2.0.2 The project management team is a project management organization temporarily set up by the EPC contracting company for the purpose of fulfilling the project contract, and is organized by the project manager. Under the leadership of the project manager, the project management team is responsible for the planning, organization, implementation, control and closing of the EPC contracting project. The project management team is a one-time organization, established when the project starts, and disbanded when the project ends. The project management team implements the whole process management of the EPC contracting project from the perspective of the performance of the project contract. The functional department of the EPC contracting enterprise supports the whole process of the project implementation in accordance with the functional regulations, which constitutes the matrix management of the project implementation. The main members of the project management team, such as design manager, purchasing manager, construction manager, commissioning manager and financial manager, are respectively managed by the project manager and the functional department of the EPC contracting enterprise.
2.0.3 The term project management has various interpretations in different application fields. A broad interpretation of project management, such as the American Project Management Institute-PMI standard "A guide to the project management body of knowledge-PMBOK" defines: Project management is the definition of project management knowledge and skills , Tools and techniques are used in project activities to achieve project goals. ISO 10006 "Guidelines to quality in project management" (Guidelines to quality in project management) defines: Project management includes planning, organizing, monitoring and controlling all aspects of the project in the continuous process of the project to achieve project goals. Project management in this specification refers to the project management carried out by the EPC contracting enterprise of the EPC contracting project, including the overall planning, organization, implementation, and control of the quality, safety, cost and schedule of the whole process of design, procurement, construction and commissioning. And finishing touches. The project management referred to in this specification applies to the application field of EPC contracting project management.
2.0.4 The project management system needs to be compatible or complementary to other management systems of the enterprise, such as quality management system, environmental management system and occupational health and safety management system.
2.0.6 The project management plan is organized by the project manager to clarify the policies, principles, countermeasures and suggestions for the management of the contract project to the management of the EPC contracting enterprise. The project management plan is an internal company document, which can contain internal company information, such as risks and profits, and is not submitted to the project contractor. After the project management plan is approved, the project manager organizes the preparation of the project implementation plan.
2.0.7 The project implementation plan is a guiding document for project implementation, and the project implementation plan needs to be reported to the project contractor for confirmation and used as the basis for project implementation. Guide and coordinate various individual plans based on the EPC contracting project implementation plan, such as design execution plan, procurement execution plan, construction execution plan, commissioning execution plan, quality plan, safety management plan, occupational health management plan, environmental protection plan, Progress plan and financial plan, etc., to ensure that the project is coordinated, coherently and smoothly.
2.0.8 Use earned value management technology to comprehensively control costs and schedules. There are three basic parameters:
  1. Budgeted cost for work sched-uled-BCWS;
  2. Budgeted cost for work per-formed-BCWP:
  3. Actual cost for work performed (ACWP).
  Among them, BCWP is the so-called earned value.
  Using earned value management technology to comprehensively control project costs and schedules can overcome the shortcomings of separate control of costs and schedules in the past: that is, when the cost is overrun, it is difficult to judge whether the cost is over budget or the schedule is advanced; It is difficult to judge whether it is due to cost savings or due to schedule delays. Introducing earned value management technology can quantitatively judge the execution effect of progress and expenses.
  In the project implementation process, the above three parameters can form three curves, namely BCWS, BCWP, ACWP curves, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 Earned value curve
  In Figure 1: CV=BCWP-ACWP. Since the two parameters are calculated based on completed work, the difference between the two parameters reflects the cost deviation of the project progress.
  CV=0, which means that the actual consumption cost is consistent with the budget cost (on budget);
  CV>0, which means that the actual consumption cost is lower than the budgeted cost (under budget);
  CV<0, indicating that the actual consumption cost is higher than the budget cost, that is, over budget.
  SV= BCWP-BCWS. Since the two parameters are calculated based on the budget value, the difference between the two reflects the progress deviation of the project.
  SV=0, indicating that the actual progress is in line with the planned progress (on schedule);
  SV>0, indicating that the actual progress is ahead of the planned progress (ahead);
  SV<0, indicating that the actual progress is behind the planned progress (behind).
  Using earned value management technology to comprehensively control costs and schedules, it can also predict trends based on current schedules and cost deviations through cause analysis, and predict schedules and costs at the end of the project.
  BAC (budget at completion) is the project completion budget;
  EAC (estimate at completion) is the estimated project completion estimate;
  VAC (variance at completion) is the cost deviation when the project is completed;
  VAC=BAC-EAC.
2.0.9 Project implementation is the process of executing the project plan and forming the project product. In this process, a large amount of work of the project management team is organization and coordination. The project implementation is carried out in accordance with the project plan.
2.0.10 Project control is to prevent and detect deviations from the established plan, and take corrective measures. Usually, the control standard is specified in the project plan, such as the progress and cost control standard in the earned value management technology (the budget cost of the planned work BCWS). Generally, only when the scope of the project changes, the control baseline is allowed to change. The main controls of EPC contracting projects include comprehensive change control, scope change control, quality control, risk control, cost control, and schedule control.
2.0.11 Project closing includes two aspects: one is the closing of the contract, completing all the work and final accounts stipulated in the contract, and resolving all outstanding issues; the second is managing the closing, collecting, organizing and filing project documents, summarizing experience and Lessons learned, evaluate project implementation effects, and provide references for future projects.
2.0.12 According to my country's basic construction procedures, it is generally divided into two stages: preliminary design and construction drawing design. For projects with complex technology and lack of design experience, they shall be carried out in three stages: preliminary design, technical design and construction drawing design as designated by the competent authority. In order to achieve design procedures and methods in line with international standards, some engineering projects have adopted the design procedures and methods of developed countries. The design stage is divided into three stages: process (plan, conceptual) design, basic engineering design and detailed engineering design. The depth and design The finished product is different from the domestic preliminary design and construction drawing design. Generally, domestic engineering projects are designed according to the in-depth regulations of preliminary design and construction drawing design, and foreign-related projects can be designed in accordance with international practices when the project developer requires it.
2.0.13 Purchasing in a broad sense includes the procurement and design of equipment and materials, construction and labor procurement. Purchasing in this specification refers to the procurement of equipment and materials, and the procurement of design, construction, labor and lease is called subcontracting.
2.0.15 Test run is expressed differently in different fields, such as test run, start-up, commissioning, linked test run, complete (or whole) test run, joint debugging and joint test, completion test and post-completion test.
2.0.17 Project schedule control is based on the project schedule plan as the control benchmark. Through regular schedule performance measurement, schedule deviations are calculated, the reasons for deviations are analyzed, and corresponding corrective measures are taken. When there is a major change in the scope of the project or a major schedule deviation occurs, the schedule can be adjusted after approval.
2.0.18 The project cost referred to in this specification refers to the cost of the EPC contracting project, and its scope only includes the scope agreed in the contract, and does not include the cost borne by the project developer outside the scope of the contract.
2.0.19 Project cost control is based on the project cost budget. Through regular cost performance measurement, cost deviations are calculated, the reasons for deviations are analyzed, and corresponding corrective measures are taken. When the scope of the project changes significantly or major cost deviations occur, the project cost budget can be adjusted upon approval.
2.0.20 Project quality plan refers to the planning of project quality management in order to achieve the objectives of the project. It includes the formulation of project quality objectives, the determination of the objectives of the proposed quality system and the activities required by it.
2.0.21 The purpose of project quality control is to take certain measures to eliminate quality deviations and pursue zero quality defects. Project quality control needs to run through the entire process of project quality management.
2.0.2.24 Project risk exists throughout the life of the project. In addition to the general risk characteristics, due to the one-time, unique, temporary and openness of the project, the risk characteristics of different projects Each is different. Project risk management needs to emphasize the effective management of project organization, project risk, risk management dynamics and various stages of the process.
2.0.25 Project risk management is a project in itself, with clear project objectives and work content.
2.0.29 The conclusion of the general project contract is the responsibility of the general project contractor.
2.0.31 Subcontract in a broad sense refers to a contract signed by a EPC contracting enterprise to subcontract part of the project or service to other organizations in order to complete the general project contract. There may be design subcontracts, procurement subcontracts, construction subcontracts, and commissioning subcontracts, all of which belong to the subcontracts of the general project contract.
2.0.32 The defect liability period should generally be 12 months, and the longest period should not exceed 24 months. When the defect liability period expires, the project developer shall return the warranty deposit or letter of guarantee to the project contractor in accordance with the contract.

12.1 General provisions
12.1.3 Cost control, schedule control, and quality control are coordinated with each other to prevent improper response measures to cost deviations, which may affect quality and schedule, or cause greater risks in the later stages of the project.
12.2 Cost estimation
12.2.1 Estimation is the process of estimating the resources and costs required to complete the project. During the project implementation process, the initial control estimate, approved control estimate, first approved estimate and second approved estimate should usually be prepared.
  It is estimated that the understanding of international practice is different from the meaning used domestically. Domestic project cost estimation is divided into feasibility study report or project proposal investment estimation, preliminary design budget and construction drawing budget. Moreover, the above estimates, estimates, and budgets usually refer to the total investment of the entire project, including other expenses borne by the project contractor, such as construction unit management fees and commissioning fees. The cost estimates for each stage of the implementation of international customary projects are estimated, and definitions are added before the estimates to show the difference, such as quotation estimates, initial control estimates, approved control estimates, and approved estimates.
  The estimates and budgets referred to in this specification only refer to the expenses within the scope of the contract project, and do not include other expenses borne by the project developer.
  There are the following types of international general project cost estimates:
  1. Initial control estimation
  The initial control estimation is a kind of approximate estimation, which is compiled by the analytical estimation method in the initial stage of process design. Under the condition that only the scale, type, and basic technical principles and requirements of the project are clarified, the project cost is analyzed and estimated based on historical data such as engineering data, curves, ratios and charts accumulated by the enterprise according to statistical methods over the years. The benchmark for cost control at the initial stage of the project.
  2. Approved control estimates
  The deviation range of the approved control estimate is smaller than the deviation range of the initial control estimate. In the initial stage of basic engineering design, the equipment estimation method is used to prepare. The main basis for the compilation is the determined equipment table, process flow chart and process data obtained from the process design documents published by the project, the relevant design specifications (technical regulations) and the material list in the basic engineering design, and according to the accumulation of enterprises The project experience data, etc., combined with the actual situation of the project, select and determine various cost coefficients, which are mainly used as the cost control benchmark in the basic engineering design stage.
  3. First approved estimate
  This estimate is compiled by the equipment detailed estimate method when the basic engineering design is completed. The deviation range of the first approved estimate is smaller than the deviation range of the approved control estimate, and is used as a cost control benchmark in the detailed engineering design stage and construction stage. The documents and materials it is based on are the design documents issued when the basic engineering design is completed. Due to the depth of the document, some bulk materials still need to use coefficients to estimate related costs.
  The preparation stage of the first approved estimate and the design conditions of the preparation stage of the design budget are relatively close. For the specific preparation, please refer to the relevant domestic preliminary design budget preparation regulations.
  4. Second approved estimate
  This estimate is prepared by the detailed estimate method when the detailed engineering design is completed. It is mainly used to analyze and predict the final cost of the project at the completion of the project, and can be used as the basis for project construction settlement. It is relatively close to the design conditions for the preparation of construction drawing budget. The prices of equipment and materials are the prices on the order. The second approved estimate is the estimate with the smallest deviation. The preparation basis is:
    1) Engineering detailed design drawings;
    2) Equipment and material ordering documents, as well as various actual costs and financial documents during project implementation;
    3) Enterprise quota;
    4) Related national pricing regulations.
12.4 Cost control
12.4.1 Cost control is the core content of cost management for EPC contracting projects. The cost control of the EPC contracting project is not only the monitoring of the costs incurred during the construction of the project and the collection of a large amount of cost data, but more importantly, the correct analysis of various cost data and timely effective measures to achieve the ultimate project The expenses are controlled within the budget.
12.4.2 The budget is to allocate the approved control estimates to the accounting code and unit activities or work packages, and superimpose them according to the schedule plan to obtain the cost budget (baseline) plan.
  The understanding of budget and international practice is also different from the meaning used in the country. Domestic budgets are used in construction drawing design; international practice usually refers to approved control estimates as budgets, and the budget refers to control estimates that are broken down according to WBS and allocated according to schedule.
12.4.3 After determining the project cost control target, it is necessary to compare the budgeted cost of the completed work with the actual cost on a regular basis (it is preferable to use monthly as the control cycle). When the actual value deviates from the budgeted value, analyze the reasons for the deviation and adopt Appropriate corrective measures to ensure the achievement of cost targets.
13 Project safety, occupational health and environmental management
13.2 Security Management
13.2.2 The project management team shall formulate a project safety management plan based on the safety management objectives of the project, and approve the implementation according to the prescribed procedures. The project safety management plan shall include the following main contents:
  3. Hazard sources and the safety risks they bring are the core of project safety management. The hazards of EPC contracting projects are identified from the following aspects:
    1) Routine activities of the project, such as normal construction activities;
    2) Unconventional activities of the project, such as overtime, emergency repair activities, etc.;
    3) All activities of personnel entering the workplace, including the activities of members of the project management team, project subcontractors, supervisors, and representatives of the project contractor and visitors;
    4) All facilities in the workplace, including project-owned facilities, facilities owned by project subcontractors, leased facilities, etc.
  Compiling a list of hazards can help identify hazards and take timely measures to reduce accidents. The list is compiled at the initial stage of the project.
