1. MC and Commissioning Preparation

2. Typical Commissioning Objectives
Safety
The plant or facility will be commissioned in such a manner that it ensures the safety of all personnel and avoids damage to any part of the plant or equipment
Design Confirmation
The commissioning of the plant or facility will prove it functions according to the design intent and within the specific system and equipment design parameters
Documentation
The construction and commissioning groups will ensure they document all phases of the completion process
Auditable Trail
Documentation will be kept in such a way as to provide auditable evidence of the completion process during construction completion / pre commissioning and through to system completion
Budget and Schedule
The commissioning process will be managed to ensure the project completion is within the defined schedule and budget
Operational Acceptance
Early operational acceptance criteria will be defined and included in the commissioning process to ensure a smooth transition at both handover and acceptance between contractor and client.

3. General Preparation General Completion Preparation
Develop Commissioning execution plan and strategy
Define plant start up sequence and set priorities
Define list of systems, sub systems and sub sub systems
Develop and issue colored P&ID’s and SLD’s showing limits of workable sub system
Compile equipment lists by sub system and discipline
Develop comprehensive detailed commissioning schedule (believe in the schedule)
Align and import relevant engineering data into PWCOM tracking system
Review and align discipline check procedures for both MC and PC
MC and PC Preparation
Finalize and develop MC and PC check procedures
Develop MC and PC dossiers to be used as a handover document to hold all the relevant completion information.
Develop system based commissioning test procedures
Develop a punch list management system and utilize PWCOM to track all activities
Develop a handover and acceptance protocol procedure

4. Project Breakdown Systems and Sub systems Project System Sub-system
A good completion strategy is dependant on early development of the correct structure and foundation thus allowing the establishment of system based activities
Project
A system is a major sub-division of an installation that performs a major operation function of a plant or facility. The installation and commissioning of this system is multi-disciplined
System
A sub system is a sub-division of the system that performs a given operational function with no or little interference from the other parts of the plant. It also contains the equipment and is usually checked and pre-commissioned as a single discipline

12. PWCOM Preparation
Develop system and sub system definition
Mark up the relevant P&ID’ and SLD’s to suit the system definition into workable sub systems
Align system and sub system definition into PWCOM
Review check procedures CP-A and CP-B and adjust to suit project requirements
Align engineering data externally to suit PWCOM input requirements including sub system and discipline alignment
Import engineering tags into PWCOM
Assign tags with the required CP-A and CP-B
The MC and PC work packs are automatically developed within PWCOM
Print out all draft MC and PC work packs and carry out first pass verification review of their content
Ensure all the relevant data is captured and that the relevant checks have been correctly assigned
Readjust MC and PC work packs to suit verification review and re print
Carry out second pass review and adjust to suit
Issue MC and PC work packs as final
Print out and date MC and PC work packs including all relevant CP-A, CP-B’s

13. PWCOM Execution
Issue and assign all MC work packs to field including CP-A’s
On completion of CP-A sign off within PWCOM
When all discipline CP-A’s are complete and signed off for specific MC work pack, issue discipline acceptance certificate DAC
When all DAC’s are issued for that specific sub system, issue mechanical completion Certificate MCC
Issue and assign all PC work packs to field including CP-B’s
On completion of CP-B sign off within PWCOM
When all discipline CP-B’s are complete and signed off for the specific PC work pack, issue commissioning discipline acceptance certificate CDAC
When all CDAC’s are issued for that specific sub system, issue ready for commissioning certificate RFC
The system is now ready for multi discipline commissioning via the commissioning test procedure CTP

14. PWCOM Main Menu
PWCOM is a Microsoft access 2000 based database with a visual basic software platform.
The system is designed to be very user friendly and flexible enough to suit any site condition and project quality requirements without the need for corporate intervention.

15. System Development
The project system and sub systems are developed as the foundation of PWCOM and are further split into workable levels into sub sub systems

16. Internal MC and PC check procedures
PWCOM has a complete set of both construction and pre commissioning check procedures across all disciplines and can be easily adjusted and formatted internally to suit any project requirement

17. Project Tag Register
The tag register is developed buy importing the relevant project engineering data and assigning specific sub systems to each tag which then forms the basis of the work pack development . Engineering data of any format can be utilized and imported

18. Assigning check procedures to Tagged Items
Each tag will be assigned a specific check procedure to suit the project requirements and forms the basis of the verification process and auditable trail of checks carried out during both construction and commissioning

19. Automatic Development of MC Workpacks
The Mechanical Completion work packs are automatically developed as each tag is assigned a sub system and specific check procedure CP-A

20. Automatic Development of PC Workpacks
The PC work packs are automatically developed as each tag is assigned a sub system and specific check procedure CP-B

21. Sign Off Completed check procedures
Signing off completed check procedures is an easy task and creates the final verification platform. It also allows progress reporting to be established at any level required

22. Mass Update Ability
By using the mass update function, the assignment of checks procedures and revised data is by the click of a button

23. Automatic Development of Certification
The development of the relevant certification requirements is an automatic function. The certificates can be adjusted to suit the project QA/QC requirements

24. Discipline Acceptance Certificates
The standard issue of discipline acceptance certificates when the relevant work packs are complete is recommended but in some instances you may need to use the added ability of being able issue partial completion which will include all outstanding activities listed on the certificate

25. Internal Development of check procedures
The development of the check procedures is carried out internally therefore eliminating the need for external word documents to be developed and allowing greater flexibility should you need it on site

26. Internal Progress Reports Available
There are many reporting levels within PWCOM with it having the added ability of changing the reports to suit any project managers requirements. The reports are generated by either discipline, system, subsystem or tag number. Each check procedure has an assigned hourly norm allocated therefore allowing the calculation of man hours to be very accurate

27. Typical Progress Report

28. Bar Chart Type Progress Report
This report uses the reference of the total check procedures assigned as 100% therefore allowing the calculation of completed check procedures as a % to be very accurate. Progress is achieved when the sheet is returned and signed off in PWCOM

29. Automatic Development of S Curve Reports

30. Internal Punchlist Capability
The punchlist is managed internally within PWCOM and encompasses both construction and commissioning activities consolidating as one punchlist

31. Punchlist Development
Each punchlist generic description is given a reference code therefore eliminating the need to for the site engineers to spend hours typing in the descriptions of the punch

32. Typical Punchlist Summary Report
The reports are developed with as much detail as the project requires with each punchlist referenced back to a system and tag to enable accurate progress reporting levels to be established

33. Typical CP-A and CP-B check procedures
