Package Engineering
Our analysis and system engineering team ensures that the riser system global design meets every project’s functional and operational requirements. This team guarantees the riser system is installable, operable, reliable and maintainable. Our materials, welding and corrosion engineering specialists develop system specifications at the start of detailed design. Then, they technically support the procurement and fabrication phases as part of follow on engineering.
Package and system engineers generate all documents specifying the requirements for the riser components or sub-assemblies. These documents form the technical package of the requisition issued to suppliers and the package engineers are subsequently involved in the technical bid reviews.
They also oversee the equipment manufacturing phase – providing the follow-on engineering support required to review supplier documentation, manage design changes, and address supplier concessions and manufacturing non-conformances.
Procurement Services
2H procurement services include complete commercial management of the equipment packages – pre and post-purchase order placement. We are able to procure equipment within a client’s purchasing system or by using our own in-house purchasing system. Our procurement services include:
Pre-qualification of suppliers
Preparation of request for quotation (RFQ) packages and their issue
Terms and conditions negotiations
Evaluation of prospective supplier bids
Recommendation to award
Issue of purchase orders
Progress tracking and expediting of orders
Management of supplier invoices and claims
Shipping and logistics
Purchase order closeout
Quality Control & Inspection
Quality control and inspection services are fully integrated into the 2H project organization, allowing a seamless interface with the package engineering and procurement teams. This is particularly important for riser equipment packages that typically have the highest criticality level and a high level of project specification.
