In project management, commissioning is a crucial phase. During the commissioning phase, functional testing procedures are performed, interoperability problems are resolved, and energy usage is optimised for enhanced performance and efficiency. The effectiveness of the commissioning phase relies heavily on the expertise and experience of the building commissioning firm and also on how well the process is implemented. Here are five project commissioning best practices for you to consider, including planning, factory acceptance testing (FAT), mechanical completions, construction quality and sche

Construction projects are highly dynamic and comprise several moving components. The commissioning management must stay on top of everything, and hence it is utterly important to have a foolproof commissioning plan in place. Preferably, the owners of the project should involve a building commissioning firm prior to the design phase and the operation phase. This will allow the commissioning engineer to act as an intermediary between the contracting and design team to ensure complete adherence to the owner's project requirements (OPR).
Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) assesses pre-functional equipment as well as checks if it is in accordance with the design specifications. Being an important part of the commissioning phase, it should be performed soon after purchase and also regularly once the use of equipment starts. Any failure to implement FAT appropriately put off issues that can later prove to be very costly to resolve and can leave a more devastating impact. For instance, poorly implemented FAT for automation like failure to involve the PLC logic design may lead to a giant problem towards the completion of the project. For HVAC systems, a test and balance procedure is carried out as part of FAT.
Put out the expectations at the beginning of the project while mentioning when mechanical completions are supposed to align with the commissioning activities.
Commissioning and construction activities usually overlap to enhance the schedule of the project. Mechanical completion documentation outlines the areas that are under construction (under the custody and control of the construction team) and also the areas that are under testing (under the custody and control of the commissioning team).
The system quality obtained from the construction team decides the success of the commissioning phase. The construction team should execute a quality management system (QMS). The QMS describes the quality control (QC) role and quality assurance (QA) role of the construction team and the project owner, respectively. Inspection test plans (ITPs) outlines details of quality control. The QA further makes sure that the contractor adheres to the QC and ITP plans.
The schedule changes constantly and requires regular update. Hence, schedule management commissioning. To avoid turning schedule management into a task, the schedule should just include block activities representing an outcome. For instance, if there is just a week for loop checks to be carried out on an automated system, mark it as just one-week activity. It’s not necessary to involve minute details of every panel being assessed, given that all are assessed within a week. is critical to successful
