validation and commissioning

definition
A projects development, installation, start-up and operability requirements demand specialized skills to ensure owner expectations are continually met. The burden of ensuring all of these facets of a project are met falls with the commissioning agent. The commissioning agent represents the bridge that takes the project from a dream to reality without sacrificing quality, risking equipment damage, or personnel safety. To meet these requirements the commissioning agent uses independent monitoring and validation to watch over all project aspects until final turnover is completed.

The commissioning agent is part of an independent organization that has its loyalty to the final project outcome. Our agent is not hampered by project politics, therefore ensuring the final quality, intent, and project vision are intact at the conclusion of a project.

Professionalism, experience and, trust, are essential when projects' complexities must be synchronized, tested and documented. Validation and commissioning requirements demand specialized skills to ensure a projects' development, installation, start-up, and operation meet all requirements and expectations.
