Specimen Professional Review Report for Applicant X
This specimen review has been prepared to demonstrate to applicants the typical standard of
Professional Review Report (PRR) that is required when applying for Incorporated Engineerstatus. Applicants for professional status should be capable of writing a summary of their careerto date and identify where the competencies required by UK-SPEC have been met. Indeed, theAssessors use the PRR to determine whether the applicant has achieved the correct competence
level. It is essential that all applicants complete their PRR conscientiously. The IMechE offersthis specimen for guidance only and emphasises that the PRR is a personal report and must not
be a direct copy of this specimen.
It is strongly recommended that applicants cross relate (in the right hand column) their work inthe report to where it is felt the competencies of UK-SPEC have been met.
1.0 Introduction and Summary of Professional Development UK-SPECRef

2.0 Demonstration of Competence UK-SPECRef
The following sections detail three projects where my involvement has demonstrated my
competence in line with the requirements set out in the UK-SPEC (referenced throughout).
2.1 ABC Waste Water Treatment Works
ABC Waste Water Treatment Works was a Company X Investment Project led by ABC,
where I was the Lead Mechanical Engineer working on a secondment from XYZ Ltd. The
project gave me the opportunity to demonstrate my technical competence with my primary
responsibility in the technical design of the wastewater treatment works and two
associated transfer pump stations.
Initially I was involved with the planning and programming stage of the project where I
was responsible for reviewing the Mechanical Design Programme and providing feedback to
the Project Engineer on the anticipated completion of project deliverables in line with client
requirements. As well as advising on further tasks requiring attention to aid the project
completion, I agreed a plan with the project team for completing the required Mechanical
output in a sequence to provide efficient operation of the project process.
From the outset of the project I proceeded to investigate and review the various
technologies available to achieve the desired process criteria, liasing with potential
suppliers with the aim of providing suitable solutions. In carrying out this activity, I
significantly extended my knowledge of wastewater treatment process allowing me to
improve the effectiveness of the plant by specifying appropriate innovative technology
available. Defining the plant required for the works through discussion with the project
team and various suppliers, I was able to develop the mechanical project deliverable
documents with a suitable degree of information for the detailed design of the project. To
maintain a traceable quality system, I created and maintained a document register
providing details of all mechanical documentation, allowing transparency in progress of
design for presentation to the Project Engineer. This was also adopted by the design
teams Electrical Engineer.
Throughout the project I continually developed key documents as the project progressed.
These documents included the Process & Instrumentation Diagrams and the General
Arrangement Drawings, which were regularly modified as the design developed with

information received from the client and potential suppliers selected under the clients
framework agreements. In the development of the Process & Instrumentation Diagrams,
as well as incorporating the required equipment, valves and instrumentation, I ensured
that the presentation was in line with the clients and British Standard requirements. Each
valve, item of plant and instrument given a unique tag number to assist with future asset
quality control by maintaining the information on a Mechanical Equipment Schedule.
In my development of the General Arrangement Drawings, I completed the layout of the
site with consideration given to safe operability and access to plant, as well as the
environmental impact of the site. In completing this document I was able to develop the
Site Hydraulic Profile using standard calculation methods.
Following my initial inquiries with potential suppliers, I would appraise the technical and
commercial information received; providing feedback to the project team and allowing me
to develop the plant specifications. As well as being in line with client specifications, I also
ensured that plant specification documents and data sheets were completed in line with the
Water Industry Mechanical & Electrical Specifications. Individual plant specifications
completed were incorporated into the Mechanical Installation Specification for the project.
To determine the plant duty requirements for pumping plant, I used standard calculation
methods for determining pump system pressure losses, based on the flow requirements
set out in the Process Documentation and the layout/level of the site. Throughout my
experience as a Mechanical Engineer I have significantly advanced my knowledge of
pumped system pressure losses for both Newtonian and Non-Newtonian fluid systems, and
have given a presentation to peers on these methods of calculation.
I am also responsible for checking other engineers calculations within the XxLtd office.
In developing the pressure loss calculations for one of the projects pump stations I
recognised the need for a surge analysis study due to the length of rising main, and
through the companys annual professional development review I highlighted the need to
develop my knowledge further in this area. I subsequently organised for attendance in a
training course in the subject which I successfully completed.

As well as the technical documentation for the project, I was responsible for the completion
of various health and safety and maintenance strategy reports. These documents included
the Hazardous Areas Assessment in line with the requirements of DSEAR, the Confined
Spaces Assessment, Noise Assessment, Odour Assessment and the Plant Maintenance and
Lifting Strategy.
As part of the client requirements I contributed to the Project Design Review meeting by
discussing the issues and reasoning behind the design, clarifying details and decisions to
the project team and the client. I also attended the HAZOP meeting where I contributed
by describing the process of the works to the client and answering any questions by site
operators to alleviate any safety concern in the proposed process and operation of the
plant.
For the Project Manager to monitor the costs associated with the project, I ensured that
my input was always recorded on timesheets to allow transparency in the hours worked.
My experience gained on the ABC Water Treatment Works project was applied throughout
a number of projects undertaken through Xx Ltd where I again was the Lead Mechanical
Engineer. It was a challenging and rewarding project to be involved with and one where I
have since had the opportunity to see the designed plant in operation, providing a lessons
learned exercise highlighting areas that can be implemented into, or omitted from future
design projects.
2.2 Lead Regulations Compliance Programme
The Lead Regulations Compliance Programme was a XYZ managed project led by Xx Ltd.
My role within the project was as the Lead Mechanical Engineer responsible for the
mechanical elements associated with the project.
The project involved the completion of the outline design for CAPEX 2 estimating of
Phosphate Dosing Systems for twenty five sites highlighted by 123 where plumb solvency
control was required in the sites respective distribution systems. The project also included
the design and development of a Standard Phosphate Dosing Skid suitable for application
across the whole portfolio.

I was involved from the outset where I contributed to the Project Start-Up Meeting during
which I was able to clarify the scope with the Client and recommend/confirm the
mechanical documentation required for outline design cost estimating. A plan was agreed
with the client for the project implementation, identifying areas that may affect the project
progress including the development of the Standard Phosphate Dosing Skid and access to
existing sites.
Following the Project Start-Up Meeting, I was able to highlight to the Project Manager the
need for further Mechanical and Electrical Engineering resources to ensure the deliverables
would be completed to program with the required detail. I was also able to contribute to
the development of the project delivery program with the rest of the project team, allowing
the project to be managed effectively.
The development of the Standard Phosphate Dosing Skid was key to the delivery of the
whole project portfolio. I organised and attended site visits to existing Client Assets where
Phosphate Dosing Systems were already in place. This encouraged client feedback into the
Standard Design by advising on previous successful installations and highlighting potential
improvements for incorporation into the Standard Design both from a Technical and Health
& Safety perspective. As well as encouraging the involvement of the client, this was an
opportunity to broaden my own knowledge base.
Following the site visits I was involved in developing and presenting recommendations to
the client for the standard design process.
I was then responsible for the completion of the mechanical design documents for the
Standard Phosphate Dosing Skid, including the Plant & Equipment Schedules, Process &
Instrumentation Diagrams and standard data sheets.
With the project team I also visited a number of sites to determine the most suitable
location for new plant integrating into an existing treatment works, as well as making an
assessment of the existing systems on site to determine any further work required.
Site visits were completed with due diligence given to Health & Safety as well as site
protocol in line with water hygiene requirements for which I received client accreditation
