May I ask, what is the \"institute review\" in design review?”
“\"Institutional review\"? That’s definitely a large design institute – one that would undertake real work, designing actual products.
In larger design institutes, this is only done for important projects. The client conducts reviews at 30%, 60%, or 90% completion levels; we organize our own reviews about three weeks before the client’s reviews, go through the contents that will be examined, and ensure completeness first. We strive to correct any silly or careless mistakes so that the client doesn’t see anything unsatisfactory.
It’s about conducting a thorough self-check to fix all the copying errors; P
Two cases: 1. For major projects, or large-scale EPC projects, the design quality inspection is carried out under the oversight of the technical quality department at the head office. The focus is on the \"overall aspects\", such as the calculation of transformer capacity, short-circuit current calculations, stress on critical pipelines, the selection of special materials, and the design of high-voltage equipment. . . This is a top-down self-review, usually lasting about 1 month. 2. Some major projects cannot be resolved by a single specialty team on its own; or design changes may require \"substantial adjustments\" in other specialties. For example, if the design temperature of a certain pipeline grade increases, the material used has to change, which in turn requires modifications to the corresponding materials for piping, stress management, instrumentation, and complete equipment systems. In such cases, the relevant specialty team submits the matter for \"institutional review\" to determine whether such changes are necessary. This is a bottom-up inspection.
Internal review refers to the review organized within the design institute itself. For projects that are generally large in scale, relatively important, or involve new processes and technologies, large design institutes will first organize internal reviews. When working on 3D piping, inspections are carried out at various stages of progress, such as at 30% completion, 60% completion, and so on.
