Commissioning
Start-up
Commissioning Complete
Commissioning is the verification of construction activities and preparation of the plant for Startup
Success of Startup (and hence the Provisional Acceptance) is dependant on a successful Commissioning An unsuccessful commissioning leads to problems in performance tests and delays Provisional Acceptance Commissioning involves many activities of short timescale. Even minor delays to these activities can have a great impact on overall schedule Commissioning involves different parties commissioning, vendors, operations, construction, engineering misunderstandings and ineffective organisation can lead to big delays in the overall schedule Commissioning needs careful planning and control to ensure that all activities are carried out effectively and in a timely manner

Use the Design Module to: Set up the System hierarchy - Systems - Subsystems - Disciplines Input the items to be commissioned into the database Set up for multi-element loops (Global Functions) and Operational Test Procedures Assign Test Sheets and Specifications
Data can be entered using a variety of methods: Import from spreadsheets Manual data entry Selection of data from AutoCAD P&IDs
Use the Input Module to: View the Test sheets and enter data relevant to the tests Print out individual sheets for use by commissioning personnel Test sheets and specifications are designed to make the maximum use of check boxes to allow rapid entry of results into the database Test sheets include electronic signature boxes. A suitably authorised user may electronically sign the sheet. Signatures and dates are recorded by the software
From the Input Module, status information is available in a variety of formats For each discipline, subsystem, system, and for the complete location a status report is available showing the current status of activities for the next hierarchical level down These status displays provide extensive information for areas completed and areas blocked. Punchlist status displays are also available for each level showing complete information for punchlist items for lower levels Icons, and their colours, in the navigation window also give the user overview information at a glance
The IPCIS software includes certificates for completion of precommissioning and commissioning activities for each subsystem, system and the complete location For a certificate to be signed it is necessary for all activities lower in the System hierarchy to have been successfully completed and all lower level certificates signed The user management facilities of the software ensure that it is only possible for a suitably authorised user to sign a certificate Certificates are accessed through the Input Module
The IPCIS Software automatically tracks progress of the commissioning activities Report generation facilities are included, allowing progress to be viewed and status reports to be generated and printed out. Progress information is extracted from the database and analysed on Excel spreadsheets giving a very flexible presentation Progress information is easily available and may be input into project management software for effective control of commissioning activities
During commissioning activities the dossiers are automatically updated as test information is completed into that database. The Publishing Module is used to: Print out test sheets for use by the commissioning personnel View this development of the PreCommissioning and Commissioning Dossiers Include other documents into the dossiers as required through the commissioning activities Print out individual sheets, sections or the complete dossier
A typical dossier is presented in a format reflecting the System hierarchy and includes: Certificates Status sheets Test sheets Punchlist reports Other documents, as required
Additional support available from Ipedex including Training, Individual Development Programmes, Documentation Services, Operations and Maintenance, supply of experienced personnel
