Commissioning (Cx):
Is the process of ensuring that the systems are designed, installed,
functionally tested & capable of being operated and maintained to
perform in conformity with the design intent. Commissioning begins
with the planning and includes design, construction, start-up, acceptance
& training, and can be applied throughout the life of the building.
Commissioning Goal:
Systems designed to meet intent
Systems Installed to meet design
Functional, Reliable & Efficient Systems
Commissioning Capabilities:
Mechanical HVAC Systems
Mechanical & Process Control Systems
Mechanical Process Systems
Electrical Equipment
Fire, Life Safety & Leak Detection
IP & Network Systems
Our Commissioning Activities Check List exceeds most
published standards. Please review our check below.
Owner's Requirements.
Understand the owner's requirements & performance criteria.
Commissioning Plan.
Generate a commissioning plan. The commissioning will start at
the planning phase and continue through end of construction. Ideally
the commissioning plan will include the following tasks:
1. Basis of Design Review.
Review & comment on the design intent & verify that it meets
the owner's requirements and criteria.
2. Design Review.
Work with the design team to qualify the design compliance with the
Basis of Design.
3. Bid Documents.
Integrate commissioning requirements into the construction bid documents.
It will include update of both the electrical & mechanical
specifications.
4. Site Observation Reports.
Generate site observation reports during construction. The reports
will address and installation deficiencies and deviation from design
intent.
5. Functional Performance Test Procedures
and Checklists.
Develop functional performance test procedures and verification check
lists.
6. Supervise Functional Tests &
Analyze Results.
Analyze & understand test results. Verify that the system
operates per the criteria designed for.
7. Commissioning Report.
Compile a commissioning report identifying the systems commissioned,
results of site observation reports, functional test results & startup
check lists.
8. Training.
Identify training criteria, and organize training for the appropriate
personnel.
9. Documentation Turnover Review.
Review all operation & maintenance manuals & 'as-built' for
accuracy & completeness.
10. Recommissioning Management Manual.
Develop a recommissioning manual to include: recommended recalibration
frequency of sensors & equipments, guidelines for establishing and
tracking benchmarks for systems performance.
