IPCIS Methodology Plant Commissioning Activities
Commissioning Complete

• Commissioning is the verification of construction
  activities and preparation of the plant for
  Startup
• Success of Startup (and hence the Provisional
  Acceptance) is dependant on a successful
  Commissioning
• An unsuccessful commissioning leads to problems
  in performance tests and delays Provisional
  Acceptance
• Commissioning involves many activities of short
  timescale. Even minor delays to these activities
  can have a great impact on overall schedule
• Commissioning involves different parties
  commissioning, vendors, operations, construction,
  engineering misunderstandings and ineffective
  organisation can lead to big delays in the
  overall schedule
• Commissioning needs careful planning and control
  to ensure that all activities are carried out
  effectively and in a timely manner

IPCIS Methodology The System Hierarchy
As in the OPERCOM methodology a project is
subdivided into a hierarchy of Systems and
Subsystems by a set of delimitation rules These
systems and subsystems reflect autonomous plant
areas and divisions thereof As a result of the
rules, each subsystem can be considered
functionally independent for commissioning
purposes Each subsystem comprises a number of
disciplines (eg Instrumentation, Electrical,
Piping, Mechanical) which relate to equipment
included In terms of the commissioning, each
discipline comprises the individual items under
it which require to be tested under the
commissioning activities

IPCIS Commissioning Software

• A multi-user software package developed by Ipedex
  for the planning, implementation, management and
  documentation of Pre-Commissioning and
  Commissioning activities
• Based on the OPERCOM methodology, featuring the
  Systems Approach to Commissioning
• Includes a database to include all relevant
  information for items to be commissioned plus
  management tools to implement the commissioning
• Used in the Preparation Phase to set up the
  database with engineering information
• Include all items to be commissioned into the
  database
• Assign test sheets and specifications (included
  within the software)
• Set up the format of Pre-Commissioning and
  Commissioning Dossiers
• Printout of Pre-Commissioning and Commissioning
  Dossiers
• Used in during the Commissioning Phase to
  implement and manage the commissioning activities
• Print out test sheets and specifications
• Entry of test results to the database
• Management of Certificates for Commissioning
  activities
• Viewing of status of activities and management of
  the commissioning
• Development and management of punchlists and
  materials / information requests
• Viewing and printout of Progress and Punchlist
  reports
• Automatic compilation of Pre-Commissioning and
  Commissioning Dossiers to include test results
• Viewing and printout of Pre-Commissioning and
  Commissioning Dossiers

11
IPCIS Software Managing Users

• Users are defined as required for each project
  and assigned passwords
• Levels of access and authority are defined for
  each user
• Throughout the commissioning, users are recorded
  when
• Test sheets and certificates are signed
• Punchlists are set and cleared
• This ensures integrity of the commissioning
  documentation and allows auditing of the
  activities
• Multiple users may operate the software
  simultaneously using a network of PCs

12
IPCIS Software Preparing for Commissioning
Database

• Use the Design Module to
• Set up the System hierarchy
• Systems
• Subsystems
• Disciplines
• Input the items to be commissioned into the
  database
• Set up for multi-element loops (Global Functions)
  and Operational Test Procedures
• Assign Test Sheets and Specifications

• Data can be entered using a variety of methods
• Import from spreadsheets
• Manual data entry
• Selection of data from AutoCAD PIDs

13
IPCIS Software Preparing for Commissioning
Dossiers

• Use the Publishing Module to
• View and edit the contents of the
  Pre-Commissioning and Commissioning Dossiers
• Print out individual sheets, sections or the
  complete dossier
• The basic contents structure of a dossier is
  included within the software and may easily be
  edited, as required
• Database information is gathered automatically by
  the software, to include complete documents in
  the correct place
• Additional documents may be linked into the
  contents structure and viewed and printed as a
  part of the dossier

• A typical dossier is presented in a format
  reflecting the System hierarchy and includes
• Certificates
• Status sheets
• Test sheets
• Punchlist reports
• Other documents, as required

14
IPCIS Software Carrying Out the Commissioning
Test Sheets

• Use the Input Module to
• View the Test sheets and enter data relevant to
  the tests
• Print out individual sheets for use by
  commissioning personnel
• Test sheets and specifications are designed to
  make the maximum use of check boxes to allow
  rapid entry of results into the database
• Test sheets include electronic signature boxes. A
  suitably authorised user may electronically sign
  the sheet. Signatures and dates are recorded by
  the software

15
IPCIS Software Carrying Out the Commissioning
Punchlists
If any test on a test sheet is failed, a
punchlist is automatically identified for the
item concerned One of four levels of punchlist
must be selected, remedial action is assigned to
a party, comments are included and materials /
information requirements are identified. To
clear the punchlist, reasons for the clear must
be identified. The software records the user
when the punchlist was generated and when it was
cleared, for reporting and audit purposes.
Cleared punchlists are still held by the software
for audit purposes For levels of punchlist which
block progress, the software automatically
prevents signature of test sheets and
certificates relevant until the punchlist has
been cleared
16
IPCIS Software Carrying Out the Commissioning
Status Information
From the Input Module, status information is
available in a variety of formats For each
discipline, subsystem, system, and for the
complete location a status report is available
showing the current status of activities for the
next hierarchical level down These status
displays provide extensive information for areas
completed and areas blocked. Punchlist status
displays are also available for each level
showing complete information for punchlist items
for lower levels Icons, and their colours, in
the navigation window also give the user overview
information at a glance
17
IPCIS Software Carrying Out the Commissioning
Certification
The IPCIS software includes certificates for
completion of pre-commissioning and commissioning
activities for each subsystem, system and the
complete location For a certificate to be signed
it is necessary for all activities lower in the
System hierarchy to have been successfully
completed and all lower level certificates
signed The user management facilities of the
software ensure that it is only possible for a
suitably authorised user to sign a
certificate Certificates are accessed through
the Input Module
18
IPCIS Software Carrying Out the Commissioning
Progress Reporting
The IPCIS Software automatically tracks progress
of the commissioning activities Report
generation facilities are included, allowing
progress to be viewed and status reports to be
generated and printed out. Progress information
is extracted from the database and analysed on
Excel spreadsheets giving a very flexible
presentation Progress information is easily
available and may be input into project
management software for effective control of
commissioning activities
19
IPCIS Software Carrying Out the Commissioning
Progress Reporting
Progress reports allow presentation of
information in various formats Punchlist Status
reports give clear summary information of
deficiencies found for appropriate remedial
action to be taken
20
IPCIS Software Final Pre-Commissioning
Commissioning Dossiers

• During commissioning activities the dossiers are
  automatically updated as test information is
  completed into that database.
• The Publishing Module is used to
• Print out test sheets for use by the
  commissioning personnel
• View this development of the Pre-Commissioning
  and Commissioning Dossiers
• Include other documents into the dossiers as
  required through the commissioning activities
