Commissioning Best Practices

• Staying abreast of project updates and developing
  a rapport with all the parties involved in the
  project are important aspects of the
  commissioning process.
• Interestingly, there are handful of best
  practices that the best commissioning management
  company in the UK can integrate into each stage
  of the commissioning process to make it more
  effective.
• Keep reading to know about such practices that
  you can use during the important phase of
  construction.

Conducting a Great Initial Meeting

• When conducted appropriately, the initial meeting
  should make the project team feel quite confident
  that the commissioning management firm is
  available at all times to ensure the project
  completes successfully.
• Scheduling the meeting mindfully. It should not
  be scheduled too early. Reason being, contractors
  may forget about the commissioning process if too
  much time passes by.
• It may appear obvious, but the initial meeting
  must include a complete review of the
  commissioning authority process.
• Maintaining the momentum of the meeting is
  important. This can be done by visiting the site
  soon after the meeting and interacting with
  contractors while showing interest in their work
  to understand the project in a better way through
  keen observation.

Completing Pre-Functional Checklists

• Instead of depending on installation contractors,
  the commissioning authority should take the
  responsibility to complete the documentation of
  pre-functional checklist.
• While acting as the most effective supporter of
  the project owner, the commission authority can
  check appropriate installation early on in order
  to prevent systemic problems from occurring in
  the first place.

Becoming Part of the Solution

• Project teams admire commissioning management
  companies that work beyond generating lists of
  problems. That is to say, the commission
  authority should put in efforts to be part of the
  solution.
• The commissioning deficiencies log is certainly a
  crucial communication tool to track deficiencies
  that cannot be fixed immediately. Every
  deficiency is assigned to a suitable member of
  the project team.
• This log should define every deficiency with
  clarity while offering suggestions on how to
  resolve the issue.

Customising Functional Performance Testing

• After the approval of submittals, Functional
  Performance Testing (FPT) documentation must be
  completed.
• The documentation should describe any particular
  installation or operational requirements from the
  manufacturer, along with test procedures
  developed through years of commissioning
  experience.
• Specific control sequences should be used that
  are developed by the design team to check the
  response of equipment to changes in the status,
  like transition from heating to cooling or
  enabling the economizer mode.

To Conclude

• The true value of commissioning is achieved in
  the design phase when the impact is highest and
  the costs are lowest.
• As the project proceeds into the construction
  phase, avoiding costs becomes tougher.
• The best practices discussed above will help
  ensure that members of the project team are well
  informed, costly equipment failures are prevented
  and the project is ready for successful
  acceptance and testing phases.
