Asset Care & Technical Documentation
Where engineering precision meets human understanding
Asset care documentation isn’t just paperwork—it’s the intelligent foundation that transforms complex nuclear engineering projects from ambitious concepts into reliable, safe realities. At Morson Praxis, we bridge the gap between intricate technical requirements and practical implementation, ensuring every stakeholder understands not just the ‘what’, but the ‘why’ behind every decision.
How We Make Complex Simple
1. Plan
Setting the Stage for Success
Every great project starts with a plan that actually works in the real world. Our qualified NEC3 Project Managers don’t just schedule tasks—they orchestrate success. They initiate, plan, control and execute projects with the kind of precision that keeps budgets intact and timelines realistic.
Think of it as conducting an orchestra where every instrument (contracts, finances, risk management, dispute resolution) plays in perfect harmony. Our Project Managers work alongside Planning Engineers who wield Primavera P6 and MS Project like virtuoso performers, turning estimation guesswork into confident forecasting, and resource allocation puzzles into streamlined solutions.
2. Configuration
Getting Your Assets Speaking the Same Language
Asset tagging might sound mundane, but it’s actually the art of giving every piece of equipment its own unique identity. Our documentation team transforms scattered data—whether it’s hiding in Excel spreadsheets or buried in legacy systems—into coherent, searchable intelligence within your Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS).
We create Master Equipment Lists that aren’t just inventories—they’re strategic assets. Critical spares are identified with the foresight of a chess grandmaster, Material Masters are raised with current lead times and pricing that reflect real-world supplier relationships, and Redline Drawings become the bridge between what was designed and what actually exists on your plant floor.
3. Build
Where Plans Meet Reality
Installation instructions shouldn’t read like ancient hieroglyphics. Ours detail everything from quality control procedures to acceptance criteria in language that’s both technically precise and refreshingly clear. We cover the full spectrum: safety checks that protect people, pre-installation tasks that prevent problems, installation procedures that work first time, and post-installation validation that confirms success.
Because when you’re building something that matters, every step should be understood by everyone who needs to execute it.
Commissioning is where engineering theory meets operational reality—and it requires both technical excellence and practical wisdom. Our teams ensure every commissioning activity meets regulatory requirements whilst actually being achievable in practice.
Our five-stage approach breaks complexity into manageable phases:
- Works Commissioning and Testing – proving the fundamentals work
- Inactive Plant Commissioning – systems integration without the pressure
- Inactive Safety Commissioning – safety systems verification in controlled conditions
- Active Plant Commissioning – live system integration with real-world variables
- Active Safety Commissioning – final safety validation under operational conditions
We develop commissioning logic that’s both robust and realistic, creating programmes that align with Nuclear Site Licence arrangements whilst supporting the Intelligent Customer role with genuine intelligence, not just compliance box-ticking.
Our Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM2) reviews follow Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) principles, but we explain the ‘why’ behind every recommendation. Risk Assessments don’t just highlight hazards—they provide practical control measures that people can actually implement. Health and Safety plans become living documents that guide real behaviour, not filing cabinet decorations.
5. Operate & Maintain
Sustainable Excellence in Action
Documentation that gathers dust helps nobody. Our Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Manuals (Volumes A through D) don’t just satisfy the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and PUWER 1998—they actually help operators and maintainers do their jobs better.
Produced in accordance with BS EN 82079-1:2012, our manuals incorporate client-specific requirements whilst remaining genuinely usable. Operating Instructions for nuclear facilities meet the legal requirement for written procedures, but they’re written by people who understand that the person following them might be working under pressure, in challenging conditions, with safety-critical consequences.
Our comprehensive documentation suite includes everything from Emergency Instructions that work in a crisis, to Operator Rounds that make sense during routine operations. We create:
Operational Excellence Documents:
- Emergency Instructions that guide clear thinking under pressure
- Proof Test Instructions that build confidence in system reliability
- Operator Instructions that bridge theory and practice
- Alarm Response Instructions that turn alerts into appropriate actions
Maintenance Mastery Resources:
- Breakdown Instructions that solve problems efficiently
- Guidance Instructions that develop genuine competence
- Safety Method Statements that protect people and assets
- Risk Assessments that identify real hazards and practical controls
Strategic Support Materials:
- Scoping Documents that define achievable objectives
- Quality Plans that ensure consistent excellence
- Lifetime Plans that optimise long-term value
- System Performance Demonstration Documents that prove capabilities
Systematic Approach to Training (SAT)
Our approach to Training (SAT) follows the proven ADDIE methodology (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation), but we apply it with the understanding that great training changes behaviour, not just knowledge. We analyse actual training needs, design materials that work in real environments, and deliver solutions that stick—whether in classrooms, on development rigs, or during live plant operations.
Condition Assessments shouldn’t just record what is—they should reveal what could be. Our assessments investigate and document asset conditions with forensic attention to detail, supported by photography, marked-up drawings, and Non-Destructive Testing records that tell the complete story.
We don’t just identify problems—we provide recommendations that balance risk, cost, and operational reality. Our data doesn’t just sit in reports; it drives trend analysis that predicts system behaviour and optimises reliability planning.
When spares become obsolete or systems need attention, we navigate existing plant processes with practical efficiency. Notifications of Asset Care Concerns or Issues (NACCI), Technical Queries (TQ), and Asset Management Plan (AMP) meetings become productive conversations, not bureaucratic obstacles.
Our Master Equipment Lists (MEL) create asset hierarchies that make sense within your CMMS, whilst Maintenance Prompts translate RCM analysis into actionable activities that maintainers can actually complete.
7. Upgrade, Refurbish, Replace
Evolution with Intelligence
Change is inevitable—but chaos isn’t. Our Configuration Management Implementation Plans (CMIP) and Configuration Baseline Reports provide the structured foundation for plant evolution, whilst our System Analysis Reports ensure that changes enhance rather than compromise overall system integrity.
We don’t just update drawings—we maintain configuration coherence. Plant Modification Proposals (PMP) reviews determine not just what documentation needs updating, but why those updates matter and how they integrate with existing systems.
Our engineers work with Engineering Authorities and Responsible Engineers to ensure that drawing updates, asset schedule revisions, and commissioning redline integration happen within realistic timescales and practical constraints. Plant surveys mark up actual conditions, AutoCAD models reflect real configurations, and delivery packages include verification that stakeholders can trust.
8. Decommission
Responsible Closure
Even endings deserve intelligent planning. Our Method Statements for decommissioning don’t just satisfy regulatory requirements—they provide practical guidance for safely completing complex tasks under challenging conditions.
Built on thorough Risk Assessments, our decommissioning documentation outlines hazards clearly and provides step-by-step guidance that protects everyone affected by the process. Because responsible engineering means considering the full lifecycle—including its conclusion.
