Commissioning

PSS Asia Engineering has internationally recognised expertise in the pre-commissioning and commissioning of plants for both green-field and brown-field projects.

Pre-commissioning and commissioning procedures for newly constructed plants includes:

• Inspection for completeness and correctness of installations
• All non-operating checks,
• Scheduled vendor services to advise and monitor the plant operation during the initial few months of the start-up
• Necessary operating tests and adjustments to the plant systems.
• Test, inspection and documentation (which plays a vital role after mechanical completion of any plant to put into operation) for –
• of the complete plant mechanical both static and rotating,
• electrical and instrument systems,
• control and loops interface.

PSS Asia Engineering uses a completions management software package for the creation, tracking and reporting of all pre-commissioning and commissioning work. This includes all punch lists and preventative maintenance up to “Ready For Start-Up”.

Commissioning, Turnover, and Start-Up require a consistent and systematic approach to the management and control of documentation and data. PSS Asia Engineering’s turnover program provides a consistent project-wide methodology for the completion, walk down, verification and documentation of completed complex facilities.

The objective of the PSS Asia Engineering program is a safe, timely, phased transfer of care, custody and control of the plant based on defined pre-commissioned and commissioned systems for start-up.

The maintenance of any plant after a shutdown and a commissioning back is a critical task for all the maintenance works to be undertaken. PSS Asia Engineering is expert in this field and applies its technical skills and knowledge in bringing the plant back into operation.

Unlike standard shutdown contracts where the mechanical contractors complete the works and hands back to the owner or the client to start up, PSS Asia Engineering specialist experts assist with the smooth and hassle free start up as planned and ensures that the plant is put back into its normal condition. PSS Asia Engineering has demonstrated this through a proven track record on major plant shutdown works around the world.

The start-up of planned shutdown maintenance faces many issues e.g. corroded pipe couplings, the plant’s non-return valves, the connections on the piping connecting the plant pressure vessels, excessive vibration parts of the plant etc.
