Global Commissioning

  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...

  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...

   All projects require a quality control plan. Without a proper quality control plan, quality control (QC), as well as quality assurance (QA) processes, are simply created by project teams along the way, which often leads to disaster and chaos. To avoid such a situation later on in you project, it is strongly recommended to have a fully documented and detailed quality control plan in place for every project. Quality control plan documentation should clearly mention the steps to be taken to control quality and resolve any quality issues associated with the project at hand as well as detail the required actions, such as quality checks, inspections, responsibilities, and so forth that need to be taken at every stage of all the processes involved, to ensure that outcomes meet project-specific requirements and conform to industry standards. While it is a fact that there will be a few similar components in all kinds of quality control plans, each project is unique in itself and wil...
