GCE GROUP has been recognized for many years as a specialist in the area of pre commissioning and commissioning. Having a large multi-discipline resource for execution of this important project phase, we have successfully provided this service on various geographic regions and remote locations.
Quality of personnel and extensive experience ensures that client’s repeatedly use GCE GROUP to facilitate a successful transition from construction through to operating plant.
To ensure successful start-up, acceptance, testing and safe and efficient plant operation, the commissioning team develops project pre commissioning and startup procedures/ schedules and develop O&M procedures with the Construction Manager and/or client.
The commissioning teams are supervised by a commissioning manager. The team includes technical personnel from each discipline as required. Technical personnel from the major equipment suppliers will support the start-up team during the commissioning, performance testing and training activities.
Prior to systems acceptance, the start-up team will verify tall checkouts conducted by the construction team such as pressure tests, electrical measurements, loop checks and rotation direction checks. A system walk down and final P&ID check is conducted and any corrective action required are notified to the construction team. A safety tagging procedure is implemented. The commissioning team then performs operational functions in accordance with established procedures in plant start-up, steady state and shutdown modes. Upon completion of each sub-system or system the commissioning manager documents all data and verifies systems operability. Finally, the plant undergoes performance testing to ensure it meets all design and output criteria and to ensure that the facility meets all environmental and safety requirements.
