Commissioning
Commissioning Plans & Services
Systematic verification that every device, every loop, and every control sequence performs exactly as designed.
The Challenge
Rushed startups lead to years of reliability problems
Commissioning is frequently the phase that gets compressed when projects fall behind schedule. The pressure to meet operational deadlines drives shortcuts—point-to-point testing is skipped, alarm setpoints are left at defaults, operator training is abbreviated, and the system is placed into service with known deficiencies and punch lists that never get completed.
The consequences of inadequate commissioning persist long after the project team has left the site. Operators lose confidence in a system that doesn't behave as expected. Maintenance staff spend hours troubleshooting issues that should have been caught during startup. And the facility operates at reduced efficiency because control sequences were never properly tuned.
Many problems attributed to design errors or equipment defects are actually commissioning failures—the design was correct, the equipment functions properly, but the system was never verified to operate as an integrated whole.
Our Approach
Structured commissioning that doesn't skip steps
We develop detailed commissioning plans before construction begins—not as an afterthought during startup. Our plans define every test procedure, every acceptance criterion, and every documentation requirement so that the commissioning process is systematic, repeatable, and thorough.
Our on-site commissioning follows a structured sequence: construction verification, pre-functional testing, point-to-point verification, loop testing, functional testing of individual sequences, integrated system testing, and performance verification. Each phase builds on the previous one, and every test result is documented.
We involve your operators throughout the commissioning process. By the time the system is placed into full operation, your team has observed and participated in the testing of every control sequence and understands how the system behaves under normal and abnormal conditions.
Capabilities
Commissioning Plans & Services Capabilities
What we deliver.
Commissioning Plan Development
Comprehensive commissioning plans with test procedures, acceptance criteria, and documentation templates developed during the design phase.
Point-to-Point Verification
Systematic verification of every I/O point from field device through PLC to SCADA display, confirming signal path integrity and scaling accuracy.
Loop Testing
End-to-end testing of every control loop including sensor input, PLC logic execution, output device response, and SCADA indication.
Functional & Integration Testing
Testing of individual control sequences and integrated system operation against design control narratives and sequence of operations.
Operator Training
Hands-on training during commissioning so operators gain confidence with the system before it enters full service.
