Pre-contract audit
Pre-contract audit
Our pre-contract audit is a legally binding shield.
We identify hidden work volumes and risks before you sign the contract and provide you with arguments for changing the contract terms in your favor.
-
Audit of source data completeness
Analysis of the completeness of initial data in accordance with the requirements of expert organizations.Checking the availability of current engineering and geological surveys, radiation maps, and building structure inspection reports.
-
Technological Boundary Audit
Identification of hidden work items that are not explicitly stated in the terms of reference but are mandatory for execution (e.g. hidden volumes of radioactive waste disposal, equipment decontamination).
-
Assessing the adequacy of the project budget and timeframe
Stress testing of the allocated budget and design schedule. Audit of compliance with the actual market value of highly qualified personnel.Analysis of the project's critical time path, in accordance with the initial data audit. Accounting for the deadlines for expert assessments.
-
Project management,
audit and consulting of developed projects
METR has extensive experience managing Russian and international design institutes.
Our experts will audit existing projects at all design stages
(P, RD, OOB) of any degree of uniqueness, as well as pre-design work (FEASIBILITY, OBIN, CONCEPT) for compliance with regulatory requirements and current legislation.
Audit of pre-design and design works
Project / Working Documentation
Over 30 years of successful collaboration with government agencies.
All contracts and obligations of METR have been fully fulfilled.
-
Audit of the Nuclear and Radiation Safety and Ecology sections
Preparation for the State Environmental Expertise (SEE). Audit of the Environmental Impact Assessment section: EIA, EIA, PMOOS, and other organizations, depending on the design stage and construction geography of the facility.
Audit of the Nuclear Radiation Safety section of the NRS.
-
Audit of all sections of design and estimate documentation for compliance with regulatory requirements
A comprehensive analysis of all sections of design and estimate documentation, depending on the design stage (drawing audit, equipment specifications, design and survey work, estimate documentation, etc.), for compliance with regulations, current legislation, and expert organization requirements.
Checking the design organization for the availability and validity of the necessary licenses and permits for project implementation.
-
Scientific research (R&D)
Assessment of the scientific and technical components of the project
Evaluation of research and development (R&D), the selected concept, and the scientific and technical solutions used in the project.
Checking for methodology, similarities, uniqueness, and relevance.
-
Final audit and preparation of documentation for the Expertise
A comprehensive final analysis of the developed documentation before submission for review.
Synchronization with the regulations of expert organizations, urban planning committees, and other regulatory bodies.
We optimize project audit timelines; all work is synchronized and occurs in parallel with documentation development. All comments and corrections are submitted online.
This is essential for compliance with contractual obligations agreed upon with the Client.
Support in Expertise
The review of unique projects can take several years.
Investing in our audit and support services will eliminate technical and regulatory risks when protecting your project.
-
Processing motivated commentsPreparing reasoned responses to comments in accordance with established regulatory requirements and deadlines.
Presentation of design, estimate, and process solutions with experts. -
Correction of documentationAdjustment of design and estimate documentation based on comments from the expert organization.
Review of comments from the Environmental Review.
GR, negotiations, and interaction with the Client to ensure successful completion of the Review.
of projects in the Expertise
-
1
Unjustified increase factors in estimates, inflated costs of non-standard equipment (robotics, radiation equipment), unjustified automation and unproven labor costs.
-
2
Non-compliance with environmental and radiation safety standards.
Unclear regulations for the management of radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel.
-
3
Lack of certified calculation codes. If sections of the R&D or Project, such as radiation safety or structural strength sections, are developed using methods and programs not certified by Rostekhnadzor or another international supervisory organization.
-
4
Errors in engineering surveys: outdated survey deadlines (expired), insufficient survey depth, non-compliance with regulations. Legal conflicts with land and property rights – incorrect delineations of areas of responsibility and use.
Controversial (underestimated) radiation hazard level of the facility.
