Emergency Shower Systems for a Government Water Infrastructure EPC Project in Hong Kong

Supporting EPC Contractors Beyond Equipment Manufacturing

Project Overview

As part of a major government water infrastructure expansion project in Hong Kong, DAO supplied emergency safety shower systems and combination emergency shower & eyewash stations for process areas requiring emergency decontamination facilities.

The project was executed in collaboration with a leading EPC contractor serving the Hong Kong Water Supplies Department (WSD). Beyond manufacturing the equipment, DAO supported the contractor throughout the engineering procurement process by providing technical documentation, factory testing, quality records and export coordination required for project execution.

This project demonstrates DAO’s capability to support EPC contractors with both compliant products and project-oriented engineering services.

Project Summary

Project Challenges

Unlike standard commercial orders, government EPC projects require suppliers to participate in a structured engineering delivery process.

For this project, DAO needed to support the EPC contractor not only with equipment manufacturing, but also with documentation, inspection and project coordination throughout multiple stages of execution.

The key requirements included:

• Engineering document preparation before production
• Factory inspection and testing before shipment
• Calibration certificates for inspection instruments
• Technical clarification during contract execution
• Export documentation and logistics coordination
• Delivery planning aligned with the construction schedule

Meeting these requirements was essential to maintaining project progress while ensuring compliance with the contractor’s engineering procedures.

DAO Engineering Solution

Rather than acting solely as a product supplier, DAO worked as an engineering partner throughout the project lifecycle.

Engineering Documentation

DAO prepared and submitted a complete engineering document package, including:

• Technical Data Sheets
• General Arrangement (GA) Drawings
• Factory Inspection Reports
• Instrument Calibration Certificates
• Packing Documentation
• Export Documentation

These documents enabled the EPC contractor to review equipment compliance before shipment and supported project quality management procedures.

Factory Acceptance & Quality Verification

Prior to shipment, every unit underwent comprehensive factory inspection.

Inspection activities included:

• Water flow verification
• Operating pressure testing
• Structural dimension inspection
• Functional response testing
• Visual quality inspection

To ensure traceability and measurement reliability, calibration certificates for all relevant inspection instruments were included with the inspection records.

Project Coordination

A significant portion of the project involved coordination rather than manufacturing alone.

DAO maintained continuous communication with the EPC contractor throughout the execution process, supporting:

• Engineering clarification
• Documentation review
• Inspection record submission
• Shipment scheduling
• Export customs documentation
• International logistics coordination

This collaborative approach helped ensure that manufacturing progress, engineering documentation and project scheduling remained aligned.

Results

DAO successfully completed manufacturing, factory inspection and engineering documentation before shipment.

The project package included:

• Completed equipment manufacturing
• Factory inspection reports
• Calibration certificates
• Export documentation
• Packing verification
• Logistics coordination for international delivery

By integrating manufacturing with engineering documentation and project communication, DAO supported the EPC contractor in maintaining project execution and preparing for on-site installation.

Why This Project Matters

Many emergency shower manufacturers focus only on equipment production.

However, EPC projects require suppliers capable of supporting engineering execution through every stage of the project.

This project demonstrates DAO’s ability to provide:

• Project-oriented engineering documentation
• Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) support
• Inspection traceability
• Technical communication with EPC teams
• International project logistics
• Reliable project delivery coordination

These capabilities enable EPC contractors to reduce project risks and improve execution efficiency on complex industrial projects.

Why EPC Contractors Choose DAO

When selecting an emergency shower supplier, EPC contractors evaluate far more than product specifications. They need a partner who understands engineering workflows, documentation requirements and project execution.

DAO supports international EPC projects with:

• Complete engineering documentation packages
• Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) reports
• Instrument calibration certificates
• Material traceability support
• Export customs and logistics coordination
• Technical clarification throughout project execution
• Responsive communication with procurement and engineering teams

From engineering review to final delivery, DAO helps reduce project risk and ensure that emergency safety equipment is delivered in accordance with project requirements
