THE OWNER'S SITE TEAM
Supervision with a clear purpose. And a written record.
Practical oversight from project set-up to handover, built around the vessel's agreed requirements and the owner's priorities.
01 / BEFORE THE BUILD
Agree the basis. Make the responsibilities clear.
Supervision begins with an agreed scope. We review the specification, drawings, project quality arrangements and the yard's inspection and test plan, then identify the hold points, witness points and reporting needs.
- Review technical requirements and outstanding drawing comments.
- Agree the site team's delegated authority and escalation route.
- Set the reporting cycle and document control arrangements.
- Identify programme milestones, key risks and attendance priorities.
02 / THROUGH CONSTRUCTION
Inspect while the work can still be put right.
Daily site activity combines formal inspections with patrol observations. The scope is agreed for the project and may include:
- Material identification, fabrication, welding and block construction.
- Hull erection, tank tightness tests and structural completion.
- Piping fabrication, installation, pressure testing and flushing.
- Machinery installation, alignment and equipment foundations.
- Electrical installation, cable routing and equipment tests.
- Coatings, surface preparation, outfitting and safety equipment.
What the owner receives
Clear inspection records, photographs where relevant, progress reporting and a tracked list of concerns. Serious findings are escalated through the agreed project reporting route.
03 / COMMISSIONING & TRIALS
Know what was tested. And what the result means.
We review the agreed programmes and acceptance criteria, attend the nominated factory, harbour and sea trials, and assess the results against the project requirements.
- Confirm test readiness and identify incomplete prerequisite work.
- Record test observations, measured results and deviations.
- Track defects and retesting requirements.
- Carry unresolved items into the delivery readiness review.
04 / WHEN SOMETHING IS WRONG
Evidence, corrective action, verified closure.
A concern needs a clear record and an accountable route to resolution. We work with the owner, yard and relevant parties to:
- Record the finding — identify the equipment or location, the requirement and the observed deviation.
- Agree the response — establish corrective work, responsibility and target dates.
- Follow the action — track progress and raise delays or unresolved technical questions.
- Verify closure — check the completed work and retain the supporting evidence.
Progress reports distinguish completed work from work still awaiting inspection, testing or acceptance. An open item remains visible until the evidence supports closure.
05 / DELIVERY
Make the handover usable for the people taking over.
Delivery support brings together the technical records and outstanding-item position so the owner can make an informed acceptance decision.
- Review punch list status and the evidence for completed corrections.
- Check the agreed delivery documentation, certificates and test records.
- Review as-built drawing and equipment manual availability.
- Support spares, inventory and crew familiarisation checks where requested.
- Identify remaining obligations and the records needed for follow-up.
The detailed scope, attendance plan and reporting arrangements are agreed for each assignment.
