Why Commissioning Authority Should Complete Commissioning Checklists

Image
  Instead of contactors, the completion of commissioning documents should be done by the commissioning authority (CxA) – and for good reason! Typically the  commissioning management services  company is in direct contract with the owner of the building and it acts as an independent, 3rd-party representative who ensures that the entire commissioning phase is completely unbiased and follows best practices while working towards achieving the project requirements of the owner. The commissioning authority bears the responsibility to assist the project team during construction, acceptance and design phases, which ensures that the project achieves success, but without being dependent on the construction and design teams, so as to maintain objectivity. The commissioning process needs the commissioning authority to develop testing procedures, data forms and checklists, and record performance criteria. In general, these materials are handed over by the commissioning authority to members of t

BEST PRACTICE COMMISSIONING FACTORS

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 performa nce and efficiency. In a construction setting,  building commissioning software  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 regulato

Advantages of Electronic Permit System

  An electronic permit to work system can be implemented across multiple areas of operations to boost safety, maintenance and overall performance at the worksite. All such areas are backed by a software solution and oftentimes, they aren’t integrated. The reasons behind int egrating an  electronic permit system   with these applications are pretty impressive and there are dozens of long- and short-term benefits of doing so. Nevertheless, for successful integration, clearly defined requirement, careful assessment of a business’s need, a superb system design and impactful project management are needed.  Keep reading to know about some of the key benefits of integrating an electronic permit system with other applications: 1.      Worksite Access Control:  Integrating an electronic permit system with the site access control system facilitates the implementation of safety controls. For instance, an individual can be prevented from leaving the site if they have an active permit to sign-o

  When safety at the workplace gets compromised, the results are often a series of unavoidable problems for organisations. The most common (read: frustrating) is the “blame-game” and since humans have a natural tendency to passing the buck, they either accuse each other involved in the system, blame the system itself, or seldom own-up to the inescapable human fault. Thankfully, there exists a solution th at can ensure true accountability or even modify the system for a safer work environment. An  e-permit to work system  allows companies to keep a tab on everyone’s activities, ensuring that all are amply trained and prepared when they take up any work at a particular location and time. A paper-based permit to work (PTW) system worked well for quite a long time, but only until the loopholes became too hard to ignore. With an electronic permit to work software, organisations now have the most comprehensive system that warrants a connected, responsible, safer and more productive workp
