We al l understand the importance of collaboration and communication with the project team and owner, from design to turnover. But, do you know that the liaison between commissioning management companies and operations staff is equally important for successful turnover? Operations & Maintenance Staff     In the build environment, facilities operations and maintenance (O&M) personnel are the uncelebrated heroes, who work behind the scenes painstakingly to ensure that buildings perform optimally at all times. They are the ones who make sure that the occupants of the building are safe and comfortable, and that systems and equipment are maintained well. As per general expectations, building O&M is a costly affair. In fact, it’s the biggest cost incurred in owning and operating a facility over its entire lifecycle. Thankfully, building commissioning may ease the owner’s cost burden specific to O&M while lessening the learning curve of O&M personnel, provi...

In project management, commissioning is a crucial phase. For the stakeholders involved as well as the entire project team, project commissioning is the only way to ensure that the project is in accordance with the regulatory requirements and the design document. During the commissioning phase, functional testing procedures are performed, interoperability problems are resolved, and energy usage is optimised for enhanced performa nce and efficiency. In a construction setting, building commissioning firms need to ensure that all facets of the project are appropriately installed, designed, maintained and tested. The tasks of a commissioning engineer entail tracking progress, troubleshooting potential issues, carrying out tests, helping with financial improvements, conducting audits and preparing reports while being a dedicated supporter of the owner of the project throughout the entire construction phase. During the project commissioning phase, a single wrong step can lead to regulatory...

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...

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-o...
