The process starts with a thorough and detailed review of construction turnover documents such as loop checks, data sheets, function testing & instrument indexes. This information is then used to develop an execution plan to maximize productivity and meet start-up targets. All activities are documented, tracked and the information noted or verified for the development of a Basic Care Plan (BCP) that meets all codes, regulations and standards. This BCP and supporting documentation can be utilized for ongoing preventative maintenance and reliability planning after a successful start-up is achieved. Techmation’s commissioning goal is to offer our clients full value in regards to a safe and efficient start-up allowing our clients to meet or exceed production goals as soon as possible with reliability that is easily maintained for the life of the facility.
