PROJECT START UPS FREE FROM SURPRISES

Integrating a commissioning approach

Confidence counts. Our front-end planning approach gives you certainty on quality, cost and schedule. This translates to optimal operational uptime during the first year of production.

This way of working arms us with a clear picture of expectations from day one. So outcomes are predictable, risk is managed, and a highly productive result is reached – on time.

Throughout all project stages, the integration of a commissioning approach is extremely valuable.

Building the commissioning plan in close collaboration with all internal stakeholders and third-party contractors (such as EPC contractors) using our CommissionAbility^TM digital systems and toolkits provides a smooth transition to pre-commissioning and commissioning activities. The key benefit? Project start-ups that are free from surprises.

PROJECTS PLANNED WITH THE END IN MIND

Our delivery models

Model 1: Total Systems Integration

Our total systems integration model is designed to leverage early-phase project engagement. Using CommissionAbility^TM, our custom-built suite of processes and digital tools, we work in collaboration with our clients to establish and deliver best practices and tailored processes for each project.

This model typically provides a tangible reduction on the cost of commissioning as a percentage of the total project cost. Its main principle is early project engagement from our CoE at the concept, Pre-FEED, or FEED stages. This engagement continues throughout execution, traditionally running in parallel to the client's execution contractor.

Input, interaction, and intervention points from the earliest stages are critical for capturing the commissioning needs of the project. Once you’re ready for start-up, everything is safely in place for stable and profitable production.

Model 2: Systems Ownership Approach

Our execution model. It focuses on the provision of experienced commissioning resources into client teams during project execution and through mechanical completion.

We’re also in the rescue business

If we are not involved from the start and you need us to step in when a project has to be re-baselined, our CoE team are experts in commissioning readiness reviews. Let us identify the opportunities and risks in your current plan, and point out ways to enhance efficiency.

Building skill from within

Effective training is also a key factor in the success of our commissioning teams. Our competency assessment and training toolkits help form competent personnel with full knowledge of our commissioning and completions systems, procedures, and digital toolkits.
