Review Objectives

Ground Rules
1. The cut-off point of NPS 6 and above is a judgment call. Some areas, racks for instance, may require that NPS 2 and above be
modeled at this stage.
2. All model review comments are to be addressed immediately following the model review.
3. No changes to approved or frozen items are allowed without Project Engineering approval.
4. The following guidelines have been established for initiating a change. Personal preference is not an acceptable reason:
- Design does not meet the design criteria.
- Design does not meet accepted design practice.
- Design does not meet plant operating standards or client standards for operability, maintainability, fire protection, safe
isolation of equipment, or safety requirements.
- Design does not meet "What-if" review recommendations.
