Global Commissioning

  Understanding Construction Quality Control Construction quality control is a type of management system that aims to ensure that the deliverable fulfils the guidelines and standards laid by the client. These may include completion of the project within the scope of predefined work as well as avoiding disputes throughout the project’s life cycle. Quality is established by the client and regulatory agencies, and is usually based on regulatory and environmental guidelines. All the quality assurance procedures and requirements are recorded in the construction quality management plan. There are two major facets of quality in construction: quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC). While quality assurance describes the quality management-specific expectations and how to attain quality, quality control explains the plan to achieve the same. The construction quality control manager oversees this plan throughout different phases of the project. Understanding Construction Commission...

  Commissioning engineers, project managers, civil engineers and/or managers almost always need to report on multiple teams at a time while meeting strict deadlines. Commissioning management systems software tools make it possible to plan the entire commissioning process right at the outset of the project, instead of waiting until the project closeout. Find here why the convention deficiency tracking methods don’t work anymore, how you can improve the entire process of project commissioning and what the key features of an advanced Commissioning Management Software (CMS) are. Improve Deficiency Tracking with Commissioning Software Tools Commissioning engineers, project managers, civil engineers or managers almost always need to report on several teams at a time while meeting tight deadlines.

Planning or implementing new projects is quite a complex task. If the commissioning process has been planned poorly or executed in a substandard fashion, it may make the project more complex and even result in unanticipated disruptions. On the contrary, a thoughtfully planned, rigorously executed and completely engaged commissioning process can remarkably streamline many of the most crucial and sophisticated systems and activities. Moreover, there will be substantial advantages the building owner can enjoy during the early life of the building. Here are some best practices for new project commissioning as a foundation to develop a comprehensive commissioning program:      1.   Create an A-Team: The size, as well as the specialisation of the commissioning team, differs from project to project. However, general knowledge of engineering systems and processes, hands-on experience and understanding of the construction phase are salient features that are expected to p...

  In project management, commissioning is a crucial phase. For the stakeholders involved as well as the entire project team, project commissioning is the only way to ensure that the project is in accordance with the regulatory requirements and the design document. During the commissioning phase, functional testing procedures are performed, interoperability problems are resolved, and energy usage is optimised for enhanced performance and efficiency. In a construction setting, building commissioning firms need to ensure that all facets of the project are appropriately installed, designed, maintained and tested. The tasks of a commissioning engineer entail tracking progress, troubleshooting potential issues, carrying out tests, helping with financial improvements, conducting audits and preparing reports while being a dedicated supporter of the owner of the project throughout the entire construction phase. During the project commissioning phase, a single wrong step can lead to regula...
