H.E.R.P.S — Master BOM, Procurement, Configuration & As-Built Records

Master Configuration & Manufacturing Record Architecture

HERPS-VOL-24 provides the Revision D configuration-management framework that connects the physical H.E.R.P.S machine architecture with manufacturing, procurement, vendor documentation, material traceability, inspection, engineering-change control, quality evidence and final as-built records.

It acts as the installation-level control layer for identifying what belongs in the machine, how procurement information is managed, how manufactured and purchased equipment is traced, how approved changes are controlled, and how the eventual installed configuration is recorded.

Revision D Configuration-Control Principle

Revision D distinguishes between locked engineering interfaces, design-development baselines, validation-controlled information and site-controlled information.

• D-LOCKED: Controlled interfaces and values remain unchanged unless formally revised through approved engineering change.
• Design-Development Baseline: Engineering information sufficient to support development, enquiry and manufacturing preparation while supplier-final details remain controlled.
• Validation-Controlled: Final geometry, rating, setting or release depends on analysis, testing, certified vendor information or an engineering validation gate.
• Site-Controlled: Final information depends on installation conditions, jurisdiction, plant interfaces, electrical conditions, foundation design, ambient environment or other site-specific data.

BOM-D1301 — Installation-Level Master Bill of Materials

Revision D establishes a controlled installation-level manufacturing BOM architecture covering the complete H.E.R.P.S package.

The controlled source contains 133 tagged baseline BOM lines spanning manufactured machinery, purchased rotating equipment, hydraulic equipment, thermal systems, electrical equipment, energy storage, controls, instrumentation, structural components, installation hardware and foundation interfaces.

The detailed manufacturing schedule, individual controlled component specifications and procurement fields form part of the engineering package and are not reproduced in full on this public product page.

Major BOM & Equipment Families

Engineering Procurement Control

HERPS-VOL-24 establishes a formal procurement progression for controlled equipment rather than treating purchasing as separate from engineering.

1. Technical specification issued
2. Request for quotation issued
3. Technical bid review
4. Commercial selection
5. Purchase-order placement
6. Vendor-document schedule control
7. Certified vendor drawing review
8. Final CAD/interface incorporation
9. Inspection and test release
10. Delivery and receipt verification
11. Installation traceability
12. Commissioning and acceptance
13. Final as-built closeout

Vendor Data Requirements

Selected equipment is supported by a controlled vendor-document framework designed to ensure that supplier information can be incorporated into the final coordinated HERPS configuration.

• Certified general-arrangement and outline drawings
• Certified interface drawings
• Equipment data sheets and rating schedules
• Applicable material certificates
• Factory test certificates
• Compliance and certification documentation
• Installation, operation and maintenance manuals
• Recommended spare-parts information
• Special-tool and lifting information
• Software and firmware baselines where applicable
• Protection and configuration-setting records
• Final manufacturer, part-number and serial-number schedules

Materials, Manufacturing & Traceability Control

The configuration system links material families to the relevant manufactured and purchased assemblies while maintaining traceability through certificates, inspection records and final manufacturing data.

• Duplex stainless-steel families for principal water-service pressure components
• Super Duplex material families for high-wear hydraulic elements
• Engineered shaft and sleeve materials
• Service-compatible mechanical-seal materials
• 316L small-bore and cooling-system materials
• Structural-steel skid and support systems
• Compatible wetted and structural fasteners
• Service-specific gasket systems
• Protective coating and surface-treatment systems
• Controlled welding, cleaning and passivation records

Part, Serial Number & Installed-Asset Traceability

Purchased and manufactured critical equipment can be traced from its controlled BOM identity through procurement, delivery, installation, commissioning and eventual service history.

• Equipment tag
• BOM line / assembly
• Manufacturer
• Model / type
• Vendor part number
• Serial number
• Hardware revision where applicable
• Firmware / software revision where applicable
• Purchase-order traceability
• Certificate and test references
• Installed GA location
• Commissioning status
• Installed, spare, replaced or superseded state

Document & Revision Control

The Volume 24 record structure links the HERPS Master Blueprint, subsystem volumes, general-arrangement records, hydraulic drawings, pump manufacturing documentation, drive and turbine records, process and cooling P&IDs, electrical documents, controls, structural records, manufacturing BOM, FAT/SAT evidence and final dimensional records.

Superseded revisions remain controlled history rather than disappearing from the engineering record.

Deviation & Nonconformance Control

A controlled deviation or nonconformance records the affected equipment, governing requirement, technical consequence, validation impact and final engineering disposition.

• Unique deviation or NCR identifier
• Affected BOM tags and controlled revisions
• Measured or observed condition
• Exact requirement departed from
• Fit, form, function and performance assessment
• Safety and maintainability assessment
• Compliance implications
• Validation and retest impact
• Procurement impact
• Authorized approval
• Required as-built record updates

Permitted formal dispositions include accept-as-is, rework, repair, replacement or engineering change. Verbal acceptance does not constitute configuration control.

Engineering Change Control — ECR / ECO

Revision D uses coordinated engineering-change control so that a physical change cannot be made independently of the drawings, analysis, procurement records, control settings, validation evidence and final machine configuration.

1. Raise the engineering change request.
2. Identify affected locked and non-locked interfaces.
3. Assess connected CAD, drawing, P&ID and calculation impacts.
4. Assess safety, pressure, structural, electrical, thermal and maintenance impacts.
5. Reopen affected validation gates where previous evidence is invalidated.
6. Obtain engineering-authority approval before changing a locked interface.
7. Update procurement and vendor documentation where affected.
8. Verify physical implementation by inspection or test.
9. Release all affected configuration records together.
10. Capture the final implemented condition in the as-built record.

ASB-D1501 — Final As-Built Dimensional & Configuration Record

ASB-D1501 is structured to record the eventual measured machine rather than simply repeating design intent.

Design coordinates remain visible as the comparison baseline while final installed coordinates, alignments, identities and settings are entered only from actual survey, procurement, inspection, commissioning and test evidence.

• Final measured package dimensions
• Structural-base and skid survey
• GA-zone coordinate verification
• Pump, motor and recovery-machine axes
• Final shaft alignment
• Runout and mechanical-clearance records
• Final hydraulic interface configuration
• Selected valve and actuator identities
• Final electrical equipment and protection configuration
• Final BESS and DC-system identities
• Final thermal equipment configuration
• Foundation, anchor and grout records
• Final machine mass and centre of gravity
• Software, firmware, settings and backup references

Q24 Quality & Certificate Dossier

The final quality dossier provides a structured evidence trail linking manufacturing, inspection, commissioning and installed configuration.

Revision D Validation & Configuration Freeze

Procurement and configuration closeout remain linked to the Revision D engineering validation gates. Equipment or interfaces that remain dependent on analysis, prototype testing, vendor certification or site engineering are not treated as frozen prematurely.

• Hydraulic duty and site NPSH confirmation
• Integrated intake and pump CFD
• Pump prototype hydraulic testing
• Recovery turbine CFD and prototype testing
• Rotordynamic and torsional validation
• Shaft and coupling fatigue validation
• Bearing and lubrication validation
• Pressure-boundary verification
• Piping stress and transient validation
• Relief and overpressure protection
• Electrical protection studies
• Thermal and auxiliary validation
• BESS certification and fire safety
• Functional safety and cybersecurity validation
• Final coordinated CAD and service-stack validation
• Structural, lifting and foundation validation
• FAT, SAT and final as-built configuration freeze

Final Configuration Audit

The final configuration audit checks that the installed machine, controlled documentation and validation evidence all describe the same physical system.

• All controlled BOM entries are dispositioned and traceable.
• Critical purchased equipment has final manufacturer and identification data.
• Vendor-controlled interfaces are incorporated into final CAD and released records.
• Approved deviations, NCRs and engineering changes are linked to affected records.
• No unresolved conflict remains between the master system, subsystem volumes, drawings, software/settings and physical machine.
• Final cable, protection and configuration information is archived.
• Valve, actuator, relief-device and instrumentation records are closed.
• Certified BESS configuration and safety documentation are archived.
• Foundation, anchor, grout and skid-datum records are complete.
• Final package mass and centre-of-gravity records are established.
• FAT/SAT and validation-gate closeout references are captured.
• ASB-D1501 represents the equipment actually installed and tested.

Configuration Source-Control Note

The Revision D BOM-D1301 enumeration contains 133 tagged baseline lines. A separate final-audit checklist statement in the source refers to 134 lines. The engineering-safe configuration basis is therefore to preserve the enumerated 133-line baseline and resolve the source discrepancy through formal configuration control rather than inventing an additional BOM item.

No False As-Built Finalization

HERPS-VOL-24 does not manufacture missing procurement or certification data simply to make a record appear complete.

Supplier identities, purchase-order numbers, equipment serial numbers, final vendor models, certified valve dimensions, final electrical protection settings, certified BESS construction, final site foundation reinforcement and other presently unresolved final data remain controlled open items until supported by actual approved evidence.

Only the future signed ASB-D1501 after completion of the applicable Revision D validation and acceptance process can establish the measured frozen production configuration.

Why Volume 24 Matters

A complex engineered machine is not completely defined by geometry alone. Its real configuration also depends on exactly which components were manufactured or purchased, what materials and revisions were used, what changes were approved, what software and settings were installed, what inspection evidence exists and what was ultimately measured in the completed system.

Volume 24 provides that configuration-management bridge between the Revision D engineering design and the eventual documented physical machine.
