Commissioning is the process of carrying out all the necessary tests and procedures required by industry standards to show your equipment or system is fit-for-purpose. It occurs towards the end of a project, after design and installation are complete, but prior to the equipment being put into operation and ensures the equipment is working safely and reliably before facilitating an orderly handover to the owner/operator.
Our commissioning engineering service is closely aligned with our procurement engineering service offering and involves the integrated application of a set of engineering techniques and procedures to check, inspect, test and confirm that a component, equipment, or system is working safely, reliably and as specified. We apply our engineering techniques and industry-leading testing experience to define the test requirements, plan the test procedures, inspect the components, execute the tests, troubleshoot the problems, establish the baseline, and document the results.
Our Expertise in Commissioning Engineering
-
Troubleshooting and Problem Solving
Prompt solutions to commissioning issues are possible because we utilize our team of industry experts with their broad range of expertise. We analyze new configurations, perform design modifications, and retest the component or system to meet your requirements.
-
Full Service Project Support
We work with you throughout any phase of the lifecycle of a project including design, procurement, installation, and testing, all the way through to handover to operations and the declaration of "meeting in-service requirements".
-
We Understand Your Needs
Our detailed knowledge of regulatory processes and industry standards enables us to appreciate your project needs. Our experience gives us insight into common commissioning issues.
-
Stand-Alone or Full-Service Project
It doesn't matter whether you just want some specialist support or you want us to manage the whole commissioning engineering service we can adapt our service to match your needs.
-
Any Plant, System, Equipment or Component
Our expertise covers all aspects of power generation, transmission, and distribution and our team includes all the engineering disciplines.
-
Backed by In-House Laboratories
All of our commissioning engineers have access to our in-house testing facilities and laboratories to support their activities.
Commissioning Engineering Technical Abilities
Development of Commissioning Documents
We provide commissioning documentation including:
- Commissioning specifications at the component, equipment, or system level
- Analysis and calculation confirming acceptance criteria
- Work plan or test plan for the execution of the test
- Data acquisition, assessment, and summary report to:
- Verify structures, systems, and components (SSC) performance
- Validate Safety Analysis assumptions
- Detect abnormal performance
- If necessary, provide recommendations and dispositions to address performance shortfalls or non-conformances
Engineering Troubleshooting
We provide prompt solutions to commissioning issues by utilizing our strong technical team of industry experts. We have experience in design, procurement, and modification to plant equipment or systems. We can support many aspects of power generation, transmission, and distribution, with particular expertise in Canadian deuterium uranium (CANDU) and pressurized water reactor (PWR) plants.
