Importance of Commissioning Software

 

Commissioning Documents by the Commissioning Authority

•        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.

An Unbiased Approach to Commissioning

•        This make things complicated for the commissioning authority who may then have to approach various members of the project team for different kinds of documents that need to be reviewed and confirmed by the commissioning authority.

•        It is important to ensure that contractors should not complete the commissioning documentation, such as pre-functional checklists (PFC) –obviously, because they’re not the independent commissioning authority.

Role of Contractors in the Commissioning Process



•        Contactors should give the required equipment and initial documents to the commissioning management services agency.

•        They should also ensure their availability during PFC site visits and make the required repairs, if the installation of equipment is not in line with the design requirements, while meeting their general contract obligations.

•        When the commissioning authority works on PFC documentation, issues can be identified and fixed quickly, documentation offers more detail and the project team can go into the acceptance phase confidently with unbiased quality control offered by a good global commissioning authority.

Completing Commissioning Documentation Is No Mean Feat

•        Completing commissioning documentation needs an exhaustive database of mechanical equipment, including air handlers, boilers, expansion tanks, cooling towers, and every imaginable piece of MEP equipment within a commercial setting.

•        For every equipment piece, the commissioning authority requires to place the nameplate(s) to verify manufacturers’ data accurately.

•        Reputed global commissioning firms make use of design details from contract drawings and follow best installation practices for every piece of equipment.



How to Complete Commissioning

•        Accuracy, efficiency, comprehensive verification and unbiased view are to name a few of the reasons why reputable commissioning management services stress on completing commissioning documentation.

•        Contractors are made fully aware of their tasks and responsibilities. Installers know that they have the time to concentrate on their work and building owners have the reassurance that their project is being commissioned by a dedicated team of experienced professionals.

Best Practices of Commissioning to Follow During the Turnover Phase

Image
  Commissioning - Turnover Phase •         The turnover phase of any construction project is a well-ordered shift of building operations to the operation and maintenance (O&M) team from the project commissioning management services team. •         This transition is physical, signifies completion of commissioning-specific activities and involves knowledge transfer in the form of documentation. •         A successful transition is said to occur when the commissioning-specific documentation is complete, fully organised, building systems are operable as per the design and O&M personnel are trained appropriately to operate the systems. Up to Date As-Built Documentation •         Construction projects are largely directed by design documents that elucidate and describe countless working elements that require to be put together for ...

Improving Handover from Construction Phase to Commissioning Phase

Image
  Handover of subsystems to the commissioning team from the construction team is perhaps one of the most challenging facets of project commissioning. Having said that, it shouldn’t have to be complicated and all you need is to plan it thoughtfully in advance. Obviously, the construction phase plan requires to be fully aligned with the commissioning phase plan. This ensures that all parts of the project are completely ready and easily available when you require them to facilitate the overall start-up and commissioning sequence. Projects today are more complex than ever before, which makes the process of handover even tougher. Given the sea of information that needs to be handled during the handover, spreadsheets and paper are not the most suitable tools to manage such massive details. Way better options are now available that could streamline the entire process while ensuring that no details are lost during the process. Commissioning professionals should leverage commissioning manag...
