TURNAROUNDQC
← Back to Turnaround QC
The seventeen forms every turnaround crew ends up rebuilding in Excel at 0200 on day one — weld log, NDE report, heat treatment record, PMI record, pressure test report, flange joint assembly record, blind list, vessel entry, mechanical completion certificate, nonconformance, RFI, punch list, job safety analysis, daily report, crew timesheet and turnaround schedule. Free, ungated, and printable as they are.
These are the same record structures Turnaround QC uses, so if you ever move off paper, nothing has to be re-thought.
Nineteen welds against one isometric, each with its WPS, both welders — root and cap, because they are routinely two people — both heat numbers, and the date welded. That date is the column that earns its place: continuity, the WPS revision in force and the heat treatment window are all judged at the day the arc struck, not at today’s.
Open the form →LandscapeOne examination, with the acceptance criterion as tick boxes rather than a ruled line. The same indication passes B31.3 Normal fluid service and fails Category M, so “Accept” with nothing beside it is not a result. The technician’s level and certification expiry sit next to the result rather than in a folder.
Open the form →PortraitSoak temperature and time, heating and cooling rates, thermocouple count and location, and the chart number. The chart is the evidence and this sheet is what points at it — a cycle recorded without its chart number cannot be checked against what the machine actually did.
Open the form →PortraitWhat the specification called for against what the analyser found, on one component, with the heat number and the instrument. Two blanks that look redundant and are not: a sheet carrying only the alloy found is a sheet with nothing on it to disagree with.
Open the form →PortraitTest pressure and hold time, pressures and temperatures at start and end, and two gauges of different ranges each with its calibration due date. One gauge is a reading; two is a check. The relief setting and the owner or third-party witness are on the same page.
Open the form →PortraitGasket type, spec and lot, bolt spec and count, lubricant, pattern, target against final pass, and the tool that produced it with its calibration date. Broken by and made up by are two blanks, because they are two people on two shifts.
Open the form →PortraitNineteen blinds, each with its tag number, signed in and signed out. The removal columns are the sheet: every blind list in circulation records what went in, the removals get remembered, and a blind left in on start-up is the incident everybody in the trade can name.
Open the form →LandscapeAtmosphere readings as three numbers rather than a “gas tested” tick, the condition found, and the damage mechanism it points to — sulfidation, under-deposit, amine SCC, HTHA. The last line is the foreign material check, signed by the last person out before the manway goes back on.
Open the form →PortraitOne system, its prerequisites — test packages, reinstatement walkdown, blind list reconciled, relief valves back in — and the A, B and C punch counts still open at the moment it is accepted. What the owner signs is “I accept this system with these items outstanding”, so the counts belong on the certificate.
Open the form →PortraitDiscipline, severity, description, root cause, corrective and preventive action, disposition and closure — on one sheet, so the whole life of a finding is legible at a glance. How many welds or joints it reaches, and which code clause was missed, are blanks rather than an afterthought.
Open the form →PortraitThe question against the isometric, drawing or specification it refers to, with a response block and dates on both sides of it.
Open the form →PortraitNineteen rows for a walkdown, categorised by what blocks start-up, what blocks turnover, and what can be punched once the unit is back up — through to owner sign-off. That split is the whole negotiation, so it is categorised as it is raised.
Open the form →LandscapeFor the pre-job briefing: permits including LOTO, line break, hot work, confined space, blinding and radiography, PPE through to SCBA and a chemical suit, eight step / hazard / control rows, emergency details, and a crew sign-on on the same sheet as the analysis. Isolation point and stored energy are two separate blanks, because answering the first is routinely mistaken for having answered the second.
Open the form →PortraitSteps 9 through 16, for a job that needs more than the eight the JSA holds. The rows are numbered to carry on from the first sheet rather than restarting at one, so a step has the same number on paper as it does in the record. It repeats the JSA number, date and task at the top — a continuation page that gets separated from its parent on a jobsite has to be able to say what it belongs to — and it is signed again on its own page, because a page with no signature is one anybody could have added afterwards. The permits, PPE, isolation points and emergency details stay on sheet 1: those are decided once for the whole task, and asking twice is how you get two different answers.
Open the form →PortraitOne day per sheet: crew on site and man-hours, work performed, equipment, materials and visitors. The delay cause is tick boxes with the hours lost beside it, because this is the sheet somebody reads two years later adding up what a cause cost — and “rain” written in a box is not a category.
Open the form →PortraitEighteen rows, one person per day, against a cost code and system. Straight, overtime and double time are separate columns because they are paid and argued separately, and a single hours column loses the distinction at the one moment anybody needs it.
Open the form →LandscapeNineteen activities with planned against actual dates, percent complete and who owns each one — a sheet to walk down and mark up. An activity list, not a bar chart: no Gantt, and no float, which is a planner’s number recalculated by the tool that owns the logic and worse than useless written in pen.
Open the form →LandscapeThe hard part is what happens after they're filled in — the blind that went in on a sheet and came out on nobody's, the weld repair that was never re-examined, the gauge that expired between the calibration folder and the hydro, and the last four shifts of the outage spent assembling a turnover package out of a shipping container of paper and somebody's memory.
That's what Turnaround QC is for. Same records, but expiries, open NCRs and missing paperwork surface while you can still fix them, and the job book compiles itself.
