Commissioning

Dry and Wet Commissioning to help with vertical start-ups

A best practice flow chart for managing the commissioning process is presented, tested and confirmed, identifying an auditable chain of responsibilities in the commissioning process.

The commissioning process is customised to suit the unique needs of each project; the need to appoint a commissioning manager, preferably someone in-house, or a member of the design team; the need for better end-user documentation and training; the requirement for a more formalized approach and the requirement for clarification on the terms of engagement for the services designer.

Commissioning can be considered an all-inclusive quality assurance-based process that manages risks to functions performed in, or by, facilities using design review and on-site verification.
