Commissioning
Key factor for success
Studies show that many industrial projects fail to meet cost and schedule objectives and experience severe and continuous operational problems after start-up. The transition from construction to operation requires specialized know-how, skills, and tools. It is often underestimated, misunderstood, and overshadowed by efforts to complete engineering and construction.
A unique focus on commissioning
Progesys helps clients around the world achieve optimum value when bringing their facilities into operation. We are unique for concentrating our know-how and experience to commission industrial facilities. Our early involvement during design and build phases prevents costly errors. We plan and execute the transition and ramp-up phase with proven methodologies, innovative tools and experienced resources, resulting in a structured handover of systems to owners. We ensure operability in terms of performance, reliability, safety and information traceability.
Our approach
We plan and execute commissioning with proven methodologies, innovative tools and experienced resources
Our first objective is to understand your needs. It will help both of us to have a clear view on success factors, project context, stakeholders and their interests.
We will then plan the commissioning (define systems, budgets, schedule staffing, HSE, spare parts, LOTO, handover, vendors’ presence, etc..) and upload project data in CommissioningForce.
We will mobilize multidisciplinary expert teams to manage and execute commissioning and start-up.
We will deliver, achieve objectives and support you in ramp-up and operation. We have invested 15 years in transforming commissioning from a risk to an opportunity.
What's the truth?
Myths & Facts
The company who designed the facility is the best choice to commission it.
Design & commissioning are different in nature and EPCM and engineering companies are not prepared or staffed to do it.
I am adding an interface by hiring commissioning specialized company.
Engineering, construction and operations teams are always relieved to know we are aligning their priorities and managing expectations and handover.
I will lose my warranties.
After commissioning more than a hundred facilities, not once were warranties of contractors or engineering firms ever questioned.
It is costly to bring a specialized consultant.
Commissioning is not an insurance or an additional cost. It is a necessary phase for all facilities to energize, start-up, ramp-up and operate. The cost of good commissioning is not comparable and much lower than the cost of delays, incidents, and difficult first years of operation.
It takes time to introduce a commissioning specialist to an ongoing project.
Within 3 to 5 weeks, for the majority of projects, an execution plan is substantially ready and the commissioning management software is loaded with data and has reports and dashboards available.
