Client-side design assurance for the brownfield expansion and revamp of Lavan Refinery, executed within a live operating facility ahead of a planned shutdown.
As Client Representative within the Management Consultancy team, scope centered on independent review and verification of the EPC contractor’s full piping design package — including stress analysis, line list, P&IDs, and plot plans — against project design and analysis criteria, code requirements, and contractual specifications, formalized through structured 3D model review sessions at 30%, 60%, and 90% completion.
Engineering assurance extended to hazardous area classification, piping routing within congested existing infrastructure, and integration of new pipe racks with existing structures, balancing constructability against the spatial and operational constraints of brownfield revamp work.
The assignment ensured full compliance with project design criteria and code requirements under a demanding schedule, safeguarding design integrity on a critical, live-facility expansion.
