Symmetrical Group

Policies and Procedures

CORE BUSINESS OPERATIONS\PROJECT MANAGEMENT

1. Commissioning

Commissioning works may be completed in stages, with partial commissioning and takeover of works, or the whole project may be completed at once. Whatever the pathway, the first step to project completion and Client takeover is commissioning.

Commissioning involves ensuring that all required works have been completed and that components and equipment perform to acceptable levels.

A final deficiency checklist or ‘punchlist’ is developed by the Project Manager in conjunction with the Client representative. This generally involves an inspection of the site in order to determine whether work has been completed to the satisfaction of the Project Manager and the End User. Any deficiencies noted are communicated to the contractor for redress as previously noted only “A” list items will delay commissioning “B” list items will delay hand over.

2. Performance Testing and Performance

Equipment and components are run up and tested under a variety of ‘workbench’ and simulated operating conditions. Results are recorded and an assessment made by the Client Representative as to whether performance reaches acceptable levels. Any areas of unacceptable performance must be addressed.

3. Documentation

The Client must be supplied all the necessary induction, training and documentation necessary for safe and effective operation. The last stage is to bring the new equipment or work successfully online, that is, integrate it with existing processes.

All the relevant information regarding Commissioning including test results, operating or maintenance instruction documentation and any acceptance or certification documentation is provided to the client, only after being approved and signed off by the Project Manager.

Note: the nature and scale of project will determine the specific commissioning process and the type of commissioning report required.

4. Handover Requirements

Prior to submitting the final claim to the client the Project Manager must ensure the following actions have been completed and documentation is submitted to the client:

Works have been completed to the design and to the satisfaction of the Project Manager and End User.
Work areas have been rehabilitated, equipment removed from site and surplus material effectively disposed of to the satisfaction of SH&E and other stakeholders.
