Commissioning is possibly the most important activity in the construction process which enables the Mechanical and Electrical Services installation to achieve the environmental conditions desired by both the designer and end-user. The purpose of Commissioning is to ensure the completed installation is inspected, ‘set to work’, tested, adjusted and regulated, ensuring that when handed over to the client, the operational services of the building are successfully working in accordance with the correct design specification. It will also demonstrate that the installed equipment complies with the design intent, as outlined in the design specification. From a programming point of view, commissioning and balancing activities have to be carried out in a strict sequence with little variance to allow a seamless handover.
Validation surveys are second nature to us including reading and recording existing mechanical, electrical and controls systems, typically within buildings scheduled to be fitted out or altered to Cat A or B. This may involve working to guidance such as BSRIA BG35/2021 Condition Surveys and Asset Data Capture. A building services condition survey is an inspection of plant and installations to assess their physical and operational condition. The external physical condition of building services plant or systems in many cases is not truly representative of its ability to perform the required function. In these cases, internal or intrusive inspections are required. For example, the condition of electrical connections inside a switchgear enclosure cannot be established by a visual inspection of the enclosure alone.
Pre-commissioning cleaning of closed water systems has become more important over recent years, as modern systems require a higher standard of cleanliness prior to commissioning.
System contaminants such a small-scale, jointing compounds and fabricating debris need to be removed by chemical cleaning and flushing to the latest industry standards. This in return will allow the systems to operate more efficiently, cost-effectively and help to prevent future corrosion and microbiological growth problems.
Engineering staff all fully compliant to BSRIA BG 29/2021“Pre-commission cleaning of pipe work systems” and are trained in the science and philosophy of chemical treatments and microbiological control and prevention.
