5 Project Commissioning Best Practices for You to
Consider

• Global - CXM

2
PLANNING

• Construction projects are highly dynamic and
  comprise several moving components. The
  commissioning management must stay on top of
  everything, and hence it is utterly important to
  have a foolproof commissioning plan in place.
•  
• Preferably, the owners of the project should
  involve a building commissioning firm prior to
  the design phase and the operation phase. This
  will allow the commissioning engineer to act as
  an intermediary between the contracting and
  design team to ensure complete adherence to the
  owner's project requirements (OPR).

Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT)

• Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) assesses
  pre-functional equipment as well as checks if it
  is in accordance with the design specifications.
  Being an important part of the commissioning
  phase, it should be performed soon after purchase
  and also regularly once the use of equipment
  starts.
• Any failure to implement FAT appropriately put
  off issues that can later prove to be very costly
  to resolve and can leave a more devastating
  impact. For instance, poorly implemented FAT for
  automation like failure to involve the PLC logic
  design may lead to a giant problem towards the
  completion of the project. For HVAC systems, a
  test and balance procedure is carried out as part
  of FAT.

4
Define every mechanical completion beforehand

• Put out the expectations at the beginning of the
  project while mentioning when mechanical
  completions are supposed to align with the
  commissioning activities.

5
Define the Boundary

• Commissioning and construction activities usually
  overlap to enhance the schedule of the project.
  Mechanical completion documentation outlines the
  areas that are under construction (under the
  custody and control of the construction team) and
  also the areas that are under testing (under the
  custody and control of the commissioning team).

6
Construction Quality

• The system quality obtained from the construction
  team decides the success of the commissioning
  phase. The construction team should execute a
  quality management system (QMS).
•  
• The QMS describes the quality control (QC) role
  and quality assurance (QA) role of the
  construction team and the project owner,
  respectively. Inspection test plans (ITPs)
  outlines details of quality control. The QA
  further makes sure that the contractor adheres to
  the QC and ITP plans.

7
Schedule Management

• The schedule changes constantly and requires
  regular update. Hence, schedule management is
  critical to successful commissioning.
•  
• To avoid turning schedule management into a task,
  the schedule should just include block activities
  representing an outcome. For instance, if there
  is just a week for loop checks to be carried out
  on an automated system, mark it as just one-week
  activity. Its not necessary to involve minute
  details of every panel being assessed, given that
  all are assessed within a week.
