Improve Deficiency Tracking with Commissioning Software Tools

Commissioning engineers, project managers, civil engineers or managers almost always need to report on several teams at a time while meeting tight deadlines. Commissioning management systems software tools make it possible to plan the entire commissioning process right at the outset of the project, instead of waiting until the project closeout. The Conventional Deficiency Tracking Traditionally, project deliverables and deficiencies have been monitored on spreadsheets and paper-based documents. In general, walk-down inspection of the equipment are performed with the associated consultants, contractors and clients. During these walkthroughs, all stakeholders have their chance to figure out deficiencies that are added to a spreadsheet, which may give rise to multiple challenges, like: Who will be accountable for rectifying every item? What will be the deadline for fixing the items? Will there be the need to check every deficiency to find if it is closed? Although the spreadshe

Key Advantages of Integrating Electronic Permit System with Other Applications

An electronic permit to work system can be implemented across multiple areas of operations to boost safety, maintenance and overall performance at the worksite. All such areas are backed by a software solution and oftentimes, they aren’t integrated. The reasons behind int egrating an electronic permit system with these applications are pretty impressive and there are dozens of long- and short-term benefits of doing so. Nevertheless, for successful integration, clearly defined requirement, careful assessment of a business’s need, a superb system design and impactful project management are needed.    Keep reading to know about some of the key benefits of integrating an electronic permit system with other applications: Worksite Access Control: Integrating an electronic permit system with the site access control system facilitates the implementation of safety controls. For instance, an individual can be prevented from leaving the site if they have an active permit to sign-off or an

4 Key Advantages a Digitised Permit to Work System

When safety at the workplace gets compromised, the results are often a series of unavoidable problems for organisations. The most common (read: frustrating) is the “blame-game” and since humans have a natural tendency to passing the buck, they either accuse each other involved in the system, blame the system itself, or seldom own-up to the inescapable human fault. Thankfully, there exists a solution th at can ensure true accountability or even modify the system for a safer work environment. An e-permit to work system allows companies to keep a tab on everyone’s activities, ensuring that all are amply trained and prepared when they take up any work at a particular location and time. A paper-based permit to work (PTW) system worked well for quite a long time, but only until the loopholes became too hard to ignore. With an electronic permit to work software, organisations now have the most comprehensive system that warrants a connected, responsible, safer and more productive workpla

Who Must Ready PFC Documentation – Commissioning Firm or Contractor?

A commissioning firm is a third party that works directly for a project owner, making sure the commissioning is impartial while following the best practices and fulfilling the owner's project requirements. Finishing PFC Documentation Prerogative of Commissioning Provider The fact of the matter is commissioning documentation should be prepared by a leading commissioning management company and not by contractors. Often what happens is that PFCs (pre-functional or construction checklists) are handed over to construction team members who then share the same with subcontractors. The subcontractors in turn ask the installation contractors to finalise the PFCs and send the commissioning document back for review. This makes the commissioning management corporation's job more complicated as they have to run after the construction team members to go through and approve the documentation. When contractors are given the onus of completing commissioning documentation, the proje
