Abstract: An accelerated oil and gas project, which is the first of its kind with respect to design and schedule execution for the owner, had a critical construction issue which was a high welding rejection rate. This issue, if not resolved, would have impacted the project execution schedule negatively, resulting in project completion delays. The project process pipe welding scope was approximately 250,000 dia-inch in the shop and field. The scope also included 52 mm walled pipes, which was a first experience for the owner. Looking to this complexity of pipe welding and the accelerated project completion schedule, the lump sum turn-key (LSTK) contractor had a challenge to balance the targeted completion schedule and the project quality index (PQI). This study will look at the major impacts to the PQI and the initiatives taken by the project team to overcome them.
