Example of QA/QC Intervention
During the installation of ONGC Jacket BCPA, a buoyancy tank on skirt sleeve PS-2 popped out and landed on the jacket top framing. Orbit ISS conducted a detailed investigation which revealed:
- Structurally inadequate clip connections and incorrect stress/load assessments by the contractor.
- Poor welding and improper filler plates leading to failure.
- Immediate QA/QC intervention prevented further incidents and personnel injury.
Preventive Actions Implemented
- Development of a common QA/QC checklist for all stages and locations.
- Review and improvement of contract, scope, and procedures to mitigate similar risks.
- Establishment of level-2 operational procedures and organization-wide quality awareness.
