A protocol is recommended for use by project management teams (PMTs) to abbreviate technical audits to evaluate carbon steel pipe-spool fabricators. Eight fundamental characteristics of world-class carbon steel pipe-spool fabricators are identified and a checklist including a scoring system for benchmarking pipe-spool fabricators is recommended. A team of two persons, preferably an experienced engineer and a shop inspector, is recommended for executing these abbreviated technical audits. Widespread use of this abbreviated technical audit protocol would result in more reliable pipe spools that meet the specification requirements and are delivered on schedule.
