Overall management and responsibility for designer supervision for each facility lies with the Chief Project Engineer.

The appointed specialists, as part of designer supervision:

Record all key events in the Designer Supervision Log:
Promptly resolve technical issues that arise for the customer and contractor on site.
Make the necessary changes to the design documentation in a timely manner and in accordance with the established procedure.
The Designer Supervision Log is a key as-built document. During the construction period, the contractor is responsible for keeping it safe and ensuring access to it for all authorized parties, including supervisory authorities, the designer, the customer, and subcontractors. After construction is completed, the contractor transfers the completed log to the customer for archiving.
Detailed procedures for designer supervision and design support at JSC SEP are set out in the internal standard “Designer Supervision and Design Support of the Project.”
For us, designer supervision is not a formality, but a crucial stage of work that ensures the quality, safety, and durability of the energy facilities being created.
