Commissioning Management Guideline E&C Project Execution Framework

1. Purpose
This guideline provides a reference that can be used by the Construction Management Team
(CMT) to oversee the transition from construction to startup, commissioning activities,
performance and reliability testing. It is intended to provide the requirements for a well-planned,
controlled, and documented method of placing the plant or facility into service. The end result
should be a safe, reliable, functional plant producing, over the long-term, quality output consistent
with the original project criteria and in accordance with the contract.
The startup, commissioning, and testing of the facility is accomplished by executing a set of
technical and administrative policies, procedures, and guidelines contained in the contractor’s
Commissioning Plan and Manual as well as the Original Equipment Manufacturer’s (OEM)
instruction manuals. Documentation of the process is achieved with data sheets which serve as
essential baseline operating and maintenance data on all permanent plant components and
systems to the owner.
This guideline is a part of the Project Execution Framework (PEF). The guidelines within the PEF
explain project management processes that are based on AES and industry practices. This
guideline, in addition to other guidelines within the PEF, should be used by the CMT to develop
its own project management processes. The definitions, acronyms, and abbreviations used
throughout the PEF documents are denoted in the PEF Glossary.

2. Scope
Commissioning is a critical part of the overall project life cycle, taking the project from
construction to full operation. Commissioning starts with the transfer of systems (or sub-systems)
from the construction team to the commissioning team to perform all pre- and post-energization
tests and functional checks. It ends with the transfer of control of the completed facilities to the
owner.
The commissioning effort requires a significant change in the approach to safety, risk, daily
planning, and other activities occurring on the project site. The contractor must thoroughly inform
the entire workforce of these changes before commencing turnover from construction to
commissioning. The contractor will convey the information by modifying the training and
orientation of new personnel and visitors to the site. The contractor will include anyone who
enters the site in this training.
The following are the key components of the commissioning process. These components are
discussed more in detail in Section 5 of this document. Requirements to complete these tests
before Mechanical, Substantial, and Final Completion are defined in the contract.
ƒ Static Component Testing Before Commissioning–
This is the final stage of construction and involves checking and static testing of individual
equipment and components to confirm compliance with drawings, instructions, and
specifications. It is performed on un-energized static tagged items, device-by-device.
ƒ Dynamic Component Testing Before Commissioning–
This is the transition from static testing to live testing and verification that all items of
equipment and loops are functional and ready for system commissioning. Typically
included are Pre-commissioning, Capability, and Purchase Power Agreement (PPA) tests
which are required before Mechanical Completion.
ƒ Functional and Pre-operational Testing–
This is the preparation of systems for the introduction of product and preparation for
startup, including the completion and turnover of utility systems (water, power, air, etc.).
These tests typically include chemical cleaning, gas blows, and steam blows.

Commissioning Management Guideline E&C Project Execution Framework

ƒ Performance and Emissions Testing–


Performance and Emissions tests are performed following Mechanical Completion and
before Substantial Completion to demonstrate that the systems and equipment operate
within design parameters, meet contract requirements, satisfy warranty requirements,
meet all performance guarantees, and are in compliance with all code requirements.
ƒ Reliability Testing–
Reliability test is performed following the Performance and Emissions tests to
demonstrate that the systems and equipment operate over a pre-determined consecutive
period within the design parameters and meet the reliability guarantee.

3. Best Practices
The following best practices, taken from AES projects and industry, are to be used by the CMT in
the overseeing and performing commissioning and startup activities:
ƒ Making safety an integral part of commissioning
ƒ Verifying the status of each system or circuit before opening or operating
ƒ Conducting daily commissioning coordination meetings before and during each test or
commissioning effort
ƒ Verifying that all working drawings are the latest or current revision
ƒ Engaging in teamwork and having all members of the CMT and the Operations Team,
who will be participating in the commissioning and startup activities, report to the CMT
Commissioning Manager

4. Responsibility
4.1. AES Construction Management Team
The CMT will be responsible for overseeing the commissioning and startup activities performed
by the contractor, for providing coordination between the contractor and the Operations Team,
and for providing coordination with the utilities and other stakeholders. Depending on the
contract, the CMT may be responsible for providing consumables, such as raw water, fuel, and
gas, needed to support startup activities.
The CMT will have final signature authority to accept responsibility for systems and equipment
from the contractor. It will be the responsibility of the CMT to ensure all testing is complete,
satisfactory results have been achieved, and that all documentation is properly completed and
included in the turnover package.
The Commissioning Manager, a member of the CMT, is the prime interface for all commissioning
and startup functions within the CMT and with the contractor. The Commissioning Manager
reports directly to the Construction Manager. This functional role can be assumed by the
Construction Manager, Plant Manager, or any other member of the CMT.
The Commissioning Manager should meet with all members of the CMT and the Operations
Team, who will be participating in the commissioning and startup activities, to establish clear and
definitive duties, responsibilities, and lines of communications. This is the key to success of
commissioning and startup activities.

4.2. Operations Team


During commissioning, the CMT and the Operations Team will be required to perform certain
tasks to assist in and witness the safe and successful completion of each system and combined
system startup. The interaction of the Operations Team with the CMT and the Contractor

12-01-01-GL-V01 4 30 November 2008


Confidential and Proprietary Document of the AES Corporation
Commissioning Management Guideline E&C Project Execution Framework

Commissioning Team during commissioning activities will be considered part of on-the-job


training.
Typically it is not the responsibility of the CMT to hire and place the Operations Team. The hiring
is done by the Plant Manager. The CMT must make a “best effort” to provide the Operations
Team with the training necessary to provide the services and support to which they are assigned.
If specific training on equipment is required for the CMT and/or the Operations Team, it must be
provided by the contractor or designated, approved vendor representatives. The CMT must
coordinate closely with the contractor to monitor that the training is done correctly and completely.

4.3. Contractor
The Contractor Commissioning Team has the primary responsibility for coordinating and
conducting static testing of components and systems and dynamic testing of various systems and
equipment after their installation and erection. The Contractor Commissioning Manager will direct
and coordinate the commissioning and startup activities.
The Contractor Commissioning Manager is responsible for the management of contractor
personnel engaged in commissioning activities. Personnel who manage, supervise, or perform
any tests on equipment or systems are to adhere to the requirements set forth in the
Commissioning Plan and Manual and other relevant documentation.
The Contractor Commissioning Manager is the prime contact for all commissioning and startup
functions within the contractor’s organization and with external parties, including the CMT,
subcontractors, and vendors. The Contractor Commissioning Manager should have a direct line
of communication with the CMT Commissioning Manager.

4.4. Subcontractors
Subcontractors, including vendor representatives, should be scheduled on-site during
commissioning and startup. They must be under the direction of the Contractor Commissioning
Manager.

4.5. Stakeholders
Representatives from other entities, such as the Lender’s Engineer and off-taker’s representative,
may take part in some of the commissioning activities. Typically, the Lender’s Engineer will be
involved in the Performance and Reliability testing of the project. The off-taker’s representative
may witness cold checks of equipment, calibration of devices, synchronization, and performance
testing. The off-taker’s power dispatch personnel may be involved in or participate in activities
during which power is loaded onto their electrical grid. Insurance representatives may also be
present for selected activities. Similarly, local government and local officials from environmental
or other agencies may be present for inspections and present to witness certain testing activities.

5. Pre-commissioning Activities
There are specific preparations that must be completed before commencement of the
commissioning and startup activities. These are known as pre-commissioning activities and
should be clearly defined in the Commissioning Plan and Manual from the contractor.
There should be meetings between the contractor and the owner to review these preparations in
detail. Clear and direct lines of communication between all parties must be established and
implemented during pre-commissioning and commissioning to optimize safety and quality and to
minimize the time required. The CMT, in consultation with the Operations Team, will decide
which specific documents associated with pre-commissioning activities must be placed in the
system turnover packages. These documents will provide the Operations Team with a baseline
for equipment condition.

12-01-01-GL-V01 5 30 November 2008


Confidential and Proprietary Document of the AES Corporation
Commissioning Management Guideline E&C Project Execution Framework

The following activities are considered pre-commissioning activities and should be implemented
before commissioning:
ƒ Review of the administrative and technical instructions, guidelines, and procedures
contained in the Commissioning Plan and Manual from the contractor
ƒ Development and implementation of a training program for all contractor and other
personnel who will be involved or participate in commissioning and startup
ƒ Review of the OEM instruction and operation manuals
ƒ Review of all system drawings, documents and any other relevant data that define the
startup system boundaries
ƒ Verification that commissioning and startup activities have been properly loaded into the
project schedule
ƒ Setup and maintenance of commissioning and startup files in accordance with the
Commissioning Plan and Manual
ƒ Coordination of site visits by equipment manufacturers’ field service representatives
ƒ Submission of startup and testing procedures for review and comment by the owner
ƒ Conduct of daily and weekly startup coordination and planning meetings
Some of these pre-commissioning activities can run concurrently with the commencement of
commissioning activities, as the schedule allows and as agreed to by the contractor and the
owner.

5.1. Review of Contractor’s Commissioning Plan and Manual


The Commissioning Plan and Manual outlines the planning, mobilizing, commissioning, testing,
and fulfillment of the contract requirements for transfer of possession and control of the facility to
the owner. The Commissioning Plan and Manual should be prepared by the contractor early in
the project and certainly before commissioning and startup activities.
It is best prepared during the process engineering phase, for it is the process that determines the
sequence for testing and commissioning. The contractor should be required to submit the
Commissioning Plan and Manual to the owner for review and comment. There must be a firm
delivery date in the contract for this deliverable, given its criticality to the success of the project as
a whole.
The CMT Commissioning Manager should review the Commissioning Plan and Manual and
provide the contractor with comments in accordance with the contractual review period.
Appendix A of this document contains an outline for a Commissioning Plan and Manual that can
be used as guidance during the review process.

5.2. Training of Operations Team


Before the start of commissioning activities, the contractor will train the owner’s Operations &
Maintenance (O&M) personnel on the use of the equipment. The training will include the
following aspects:
ƒ Classroom training with instructor notes handouts and testing
ƒ On-the-job training, including walk-downs and inspections
ƒ Equipment manufacturer training

5.3. Noise Level Testing


Before the commencement of construction at the facility, the contractor will perform a noise level
test to determine baseline noise levels at the specified boundary line of the project site. Per the
contract, the noise level test results will be submitted to the owner. Permissible noise levels are
determined by permits issued in accordance with local laws and codes.

12-01-01-GL-V01 6 30 November 2008


Confidential and Proprietary Document of the AES Corporation
Commissioning Management Guideline E&C Project Execution Framework

Around-the-clock operation of a facility may be restricted due to noise levels that occur during
commissioning. During the startup and testing phase, tests and measurements will be performed
to verify that the plant, as a whole, meets the local codes and requirements under various
operating conditions.

5.4. Static Component Testing


When the installation of components is complete, static component testing should be conducted
on components to verify proper installation, physical completeness, and integrity. The test
documents must be collected and assembled into a turnover package and must be provided to
the owner for review and comment.

5.4.1. Mechanical Tests and Checks


ƒ Tank/vessel checks–
Inspect and examine tanks, vessels, heat exchangers, etc. to verify their cleanliness and
integrity.
ƒ Equipment checks–
Verify the completeness and integrity of installation of pumps, fans, valves, skids, motors,
pipe, ductwork, hangers, and other equipment installed.
ƒ Initial lubrication–
Verify that all shipping and temporary lubrication has been removed, if appropriate, and
replaced with an initial charge of lubrication, as recommended by the OEM for normal
operation.
ƒ Leak tests–
Inspect, examine, and test equipment installed for leak tightness, including hydrostatic,
pneumatic, and/or vacuum box leak testing; leaving any pins and restraints in hangers;
make arrangements for an authorized inspector; and provide ample lighting and access
to all areas to be inspected.
ƒ Manual valve stroking–
Manually stroke motor, control, and manually-operated valves in full open and closed
directions to ensure that all moving parts are intact and functional.
ƒ Cold alignments–
Align equipment in a cold setting, with equipment grouted, but not doweled. Connect
suction and discharge piping or ductwork on equipment after cold alignment is
completed. Take alignment readings after they are connected and compare to initial
readings. If latter readings are unacceptable, make adjustments to suction and discharge
piping or ductwork to remove any stresses and strains imposed on equipment.
ƒ Cold hanger set–
Adjust all pipe hangers to their cold settings.

5.4.2. Electrical Tests and Checks


ƒ Megger, Polarization Index, and Hi-Pot tests for cables and equipment–
Conduct Megger, Polarization Index (PI), and hi-pot tests for cables (as applicable) and
equipment to verify integrity of insulation.
ƒ Control circuit checks–
Verify control circuit logic and calibrate relays and timers without operating the
equipment.
ƒ Motor phase checks–
Use a phase rotation meter to check motors for proper phase rotation to verify proper
termination of power leads.

12-01-01-GL-V01 7 30 November 2008


Confidential and Proprietary Document of the AES Corporation
Commissioning Management Guideline E&C Project Execution Framework

ƒ Meter and relay calibration–


Calibrate protective meters and relays on switchgear, unit substations, motor control
centers, and other control panels.
ƒ Torque test–
Torque test for proper torque values all electrical power connections made in the field for
cables and bus bars during erection.
ƒ Continuity Checks–
Perform continuity checks on all wiring circuits.

5.4.3. Instrumentation Tests and Checks


ƒ Bench or field calibration–
Where practical, calibrate instruments at field location installation. When not practical,
remove instruments from field location and calibrate instruments on a test bench. Test
equipment will be calibrated and traceable to the standards of the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST). Calibrate at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%,
increasing and decreasing input signal, compared to output signal. Calibrate switches
and other digital devices to their set and reset points.
ƒ Control circuit checks–
Verify control circuit logic, and calibrate relays and timers without operating the
equipment. Verify all Distributed Control System (DCS) input/output points.
ƒ Continuity Checks–
Perform continuity checks on all wiring circuits.

5.5. System Turnover


When the contractor has completed static component testing, the contractor will submit turnover
packages to the owner for review and comment. The turnover package will contain turnover
documentation and a punch list for each system. The owner will walk-down each system with the
contractor. Contents of a typical turnover package are listed in Appendix B of this document.
The project should be divided into distinct system turnover packages during the preparation of the
P&IDs. Each system is made up of subsystems, which, as a group, make up the main turnover
system. Each system turnover package is keyed to one or more project P&ID or project one-line
diagrams that define the plant. All system construction, commissioning, startup, and test
documentation are filed in a respective system turnover package. The package includes a copy
of the completed punch list and the marked-up P&ID, the system description, and other pertinent
data.
Equipment and system quality documentation are also considered to be part of the system
turnover package. Quality documentation is maintained in accordance with the Contractor
Quality Assurance and Control Plan (CQACP).
Subcontractor or vendor information and/or documentation for work on a piece of equipment or
system will also be included in the turnover package. This includes reports of any on-site of off-
site testing, startup activities conducted on the equipment or system by the subcontractor or
vendor, test records, results, and data sheets. The CMT will decide the feasibility of receiving this
information in electronic format.
A punch list is the means of documenting and resolving incomplete or incorrect items and those
items not in compliance with the drawings and/or specifications before turnover. During the walk-
downs of each system before turnover, the physical installation will be reviewed and compared to
the OEM documents, engineering specifications, codes, and contract requirements.

Commissioning Management Guideline E&C Project Execution Framework

5.6. Dynamic Component Testing


After system turnover is complete and the systems are accepted by the Contractor
Commissioning Team, dynamic component testing will be conducted by placing the individual
components and equipment into service.

5.6.1. Initial Load of Consumable Commodities


Before commencing dynamic testing on any equipment or systems, the initial load of
consumables must be ordered. These consumables are those commodities that are expected to
be consumed or expended during the course of startup and commissioning activities, up to the
point of Substantial Completion.
The commodities normally required to support functional and operational testing, the reliability
run, and performance testing may include the following:
ƒ Fuel
ƒ Raw and demineralized water
ƒ Potable water
ƒ Limestone
ƒ Aqueous ammonia or urea
ƒ Demineralized water process treatment chemicals
ƒ Steam cycle treatment chemicals
ƒ Cooling water treatment chemicals
ƒ Wastewater treatment chemicals
ƒ Oils, greases and other lubricants, including those required by manufacturers’
instructions to be changed-out following initial equipment operation or run-in
ƒ Hydrogen, nitrogen, and other inert gases
ƒ Compressed air
ƒ Mechanical cleaning agents such as detergents
ƒ Startup electric power

5.6.2. Coordination with Local Utilities and Service Providers


During the course of startup and testing, communicating with utility and service providers will
likely be required to coordinate the needs of the project. The following is a list of required utilities,
services, and their providers that may require efforts of coordination:
ƒ Local fire department
ƒ Local emergency service provider
ƒ Local police in the event of theft or vandalism
ƒ Water and sewer utilities, once the permanent facilities are in-service, for system filling,
flushing, and testing
ƒ Demineralized water providers or temporary demineralizer truck or skid providers to
ensure adequate supplies of water are available for system filling, flushing, and testing
ƒ Hazardous waste management companies for the removal of hazardous wastes following
activities such as chemical cleaning, water wash of turbines, pump-out of the oil-water
separator, and operation of chemical treatment systems before permanent storage or
processing systems are operational
ƒ Fuel providers, such as natural gas or fuel oil providers, especially before gas blows, the
startup of major equipment, and the beginning of the reliability run or performance testing
ƒ Electrical utility when testing the switchyard, large generators, and transformers where
large electrical power swings are possible

12-01-01-GL-V01 9 30 November 2008


Confidential and Proprietary Document of the AES Corporation
Commissioning Management Guideline E&C Project Execution Framework

ƒ Environmental Agencies at the local, state, or national level


ƒ All other governmental agencies and organizations that have jurisdiction over or may be
affected by the commissioning and startup activities

5.6.3. Mechanical Tests and Checks


ƒ Equipment inspections–
Verify the completeness and integrity of the installation of pumps, fans, valves, skids,
motors, pipe, hangers, and other equipment.
ƒ Flushes–
Clean all equipment and piping systems as described in the Commissioning Plan and
Manual, the applicable section of the specifications, and the OEM instruction manuals.
This will include cold water, hot water, and/or oil flushes, and hand-cleaning.
ƒ Air Blows–
Air lines are typically purged by using compressed air or inert gas sources, such as the
system air compressor or nitrogen bottles. Sections of the compressed air system are
isolated, connected to the pressurized gas source, and the line purged by sending the
gas through at a very high velocity. Any foreign material will be entrained in the air and
blown free from the system. Valves, orifice plates, and other system components are
typically removed or isolated from the lines while they are being purged to prevent
damage from impingement by the high velocity gas and the entrained impurities. Once
the line blows free of any material, the blow is typically considered complete, and the line
is restored for functional testing and normal operation.
ƒ Gas Blows–
Fuel gas lines are typically purged from the utility’s main pressurized natural gas line by
means of a “pig” or flexible cylinder forced through the line, using high pressure natural
gas from the main line as the motive force. The line leading up to the site boundary or
site fuel gas metering station is typically purged or “pigged” by the gas utility organization.
The line may be pigged several times until it is cleared of any foreign matter that could
possibly damage the system valves or components.
The natural gas line from the site boundary or metering station to the turbine or
equipment user is typically purged using high pressure natural gas from the purged main
line or inert gas source, such as nitrogen. Sections of the compressed gas system are
isolated, connected to the pressurized gas source, and the line purged by sending the
gas through at a very high velocity. Any foreign material will be entrained in the gas and
blown free from the system. Valves, orifice plates, and other system components are
typically removed or isolated from the lines while they are being purged to prevent
damage from impingement by the high velocity gas and the entrained impurities.
To determine if a line is clean, the use of targets is typically employed. A target is a piece
of material of fixed size, such as a one-inch square piece of brass or iron, that is inserted
into the flow stream near the end of the line being cleared. An acceptance criterion will
be established, such as no more than 5 impingements and no material 1/16 inch or larger
embedded on the target. Once the line blows free of any foreign material, the blow is
typically considered complete, and the line is restored for functional testing and normal
operation.
ƒ Chemical Cleaning–
Cleaning of the boiler, the heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), steam lines, feed
water lines, condensate lines, and other steam cycle systems is typically completed by a
third party testing agency or subcontractor that specializes in this type of process
flushing. A detailed set of procedures must be developed and approved by the
Contractor Commissioning Manager and the CMT early in the startup schedule. The
process uses temporary pumps, heaters, and tanks to circulate the heated treatment
chemicals through the systems to achieve the desired results.

12-01-01-GL-V01 10 30 November 2008


Confidential and Proprietary Document of the AES Corporation
Commissioning Management Guideline E&C Project Execution Framework

The heated treatment chemicals will both clean and passivate the internals of the steam
cycle piping circuit. Upon completion, the treatment chemicals must be handled as
hazardous waste, for they will contain small amounts of alloy metals from the systems
that have been cleaned. The chemical waste is typically collected in temporary “frac”
tanks, and removed by a subcontractor capable of handling and disposing of the waste.
Cleaning is typically considered to be complete once the series of treatment chemicals
has been circulated through the systems for the prescribed period of time, at the
appropriate velocity, and at the correct temperatures.
ƒ Steam Blows–
Steam system lines are typically purged using clean steam from an auxiliary boiler or the
HRSG as the motive force. A detailed set of procedures must be developed and
approved by the Contractor Commissioning Manager and the CMT early in the startup
schedule. Temporary piping is typically installed to “jumper” one steam system to
another, creating a single circuit, similar to the chemical cleaning process. Due to the
noise created by exhausting large volumes of high velocity steam, a silencer may be
installed at the end of the steam system circuit. The exhaust should be installed at a
location that considers prevailing wind direction and vicinity to buildings, for rust from the
steam pipes can create problems if deposited on walls or electrical equipment.
Clean steam is typically flowed through the established steam circuit at a very high
velocity. Any foreign material will be stripped from the walls of the pipe, entrained in the
steam, and blown free from the system. Valves, orifice plates, and other system
components are typically removed or isolated from the lines while they are being purged
to prevent damage from impingement by the high velocity steam and the entrained
impurities.
To determine if a line is clean, the use of targets is typically employed. A target is a piece
of material of fixed size, such as a one inch square piece of iron or steel, that is inserted
into the flow stream near the end of the line being cleared. An acceptance criterion will
be established, such as no more than 5 impingements and no material 1/16 inch or larger
embedded on the target. Once the line blows free of any foreign material, the blow is
typically considered complete, and the line is restored for functional testing and normal
operation.
ƒ Hot alignments–
Perform hot alignments on all equipment such as feedwater pumps. Startup may perform
hot alignment on required equipment.
ƒ Hot hanger set–
Check all adjustable hangers when the equipment and system are at normal operating
conditions.

5.6.4. Electrical Tests and Checks


ƒ Motor run-in–
Operate large motors; measure and record starting currents, running currents, and
temperatures.
ƒ Interlocks–
Where reasonable, verify that control circuit interlocks result in proper operation of
equipment. Switches should be actuated by their normal means or "fingered" or
jumpered.
ƒ Stroking of motor-operated and control valves–
Stroke all motor-operated and control valves to the fully open and closed positions to
verify that the valve, motor, and/or solenoid are fully functional.

12-01-01-GL-V01 11 30 November 2008


Confidential and Proprietary Document of the AES Corporation
Commissioning Management Guideline E&C Project Execution Framework

ƒ Vibration (balancing and alignment)–


Measure vibration of all drive equipment rated 25 horsepower or more while it is
uncoupled from the driven equipment. Perform signature analysis of displacement,
velocity, and acceleration on all bearings and shafts in horizontal, vertical, and axial
orientations. Final vibration signatures will be turned over to the CMT in an acceptable
electronic format.
ƒ Setting limit switches–
Set and adjust all limit, position, and torque switches on all motor-operated and control
valves.

5.6.5. Instrumentation Tests and Checks


ƒ Control circuit checks–
Verify proper operation of all equipment control circuits. This will be accomplished in two
steps. First, after circuits have been run and terminated, a continuity check (ring out) will
occur to verify that both ends of the same wire have been terminated. Second, after
completion of control circuit terminations from control devices in the field to the
input/output cabinets, the linking of these cabinets to the DCS via a data highway, the
loading and check-out of the plant control software, and the calibration of control devices,
the control “loop” will be tested. The control loop, driven by the DCS control logic, will be
verified by actuating the device within its calibrated limits.
ƒ Interlocks–
Verify that control and protection circuit interlocks result in proper operation of equipment.
Switches should be actuated by their normal means or "fingered" or jumpered.
ƒ Stroking of motor operated and control valves–
Stroke all motor-operated and control valves to the fully open and closed positions to
verify that the valve, limit, torque, and position switches are properly adjusted.
ƒ Loop calibration–
Calibrate all instrument loops at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%, increasing or
decreasing input signal, and compare to output signal. Test equipment will be calibrated
and traceable to the standards of the NIST.

6. Commissioning Activities
6.1. Functional and Pre-operational Testing
Upon successful completion of dynamic component testing, the contractor will perform system
startup functional and pre-operational testing to verify proper operation of the system and its
components, provide baseline operating data, and verify the design intent of the system.
Owner O&M personnel, under the direction of Contractor’s Commissioning Manager and in
conjunction with the CMT, will perform the testing.

6.1.1. Mechanical Tests and Checks


ƒ Hot Alignments–
Perform hot alignments on all equipment with a power drive rated greater than or equal to
25 horsepower. Perform hot alignment on other equipment as required by the equipment
manufacturers or requested by startup operations. Hot alignment may require the
disconnecting of suction and discharge piping, or the ductwork of equipment. Switches
will be actuated by their normal means or "fingered" or jumpered.
ƒ Hot Hanger Set–
Adjust and set all adjustable hangers when the equipment and system are at normal
operating conditions.

Commissioning Management Guideline E&C Project Execution Framework

6.1.2. Electrical Tests and Checks


ƒ Vibration Tests –
Measure vibration of all drive equipment rated 25 horsepower or more while coupled to
driven equipment. Perform signature analysis of displacement, velocity, and acceleration
on all bearings and shafts in horizontal, vertical, and axial orientations. Final vibration
signatures will be turned over to the CMT in an acceptable electronic format.

6.1.3. Instrumentation Tests and Checks


ƒ Control circuit checks–
Perform the control circuit and instrument loop function check. The instrument loop
should be restored to the normal operating condition.
ƒ Loop Calibration–
Calibrate instrument loops from field device locations through the DCS, equipment
control systems, programmable logic controllers (PLC), generator control and protection
systems, etc. to the final MMI graphic. Calibrate instrument loops with process in service
(dynamic), where practical. Test equipment must be calibrated and traceable to the
standards of the NIST. Calibrate all instrument loops at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%,
increasing and decreasing input signal, and compare to output signal.
Analog loops – Simulate the process variable to actuate the primary device and observe
the loop response. Record on the loop calibration sheet the indication for all display and
recording devices, valve/damper positions, contact closures, and other required
information.
Digital loops – Computer and alarm circuits should be verified and recorded.
ƒ Loop Action Simulation–
Perform the control circuit and instrument loop function check. The instrument loop
should be restored to the normal operating condition. For pressure, temperature and flow
transmitters, a 4-20 mA or appropriate signal input will be simulated at the transmitter.

6.2. Performance Testing


Performance testing demonstrates that systems and equipment operate within design
parameters, meet contract requirements, satisfy warranty requirements, meet all performance
guarantees, and are in compliance with all code requirements. Testing will conclude upon
closure of all outstanding deficiency/punch list exception items and issuance of the Substantial
Completion Certificated by the owner.
Upon successful completion of the performance testing, the turnover packages will be updated
with the test results and analyses. The Contractor Commissioning Team and the owner will walk-
down the systems to verify that all the punch list items have been satisfactorily completed. All
other documentation required by the contract will be turned over to the owner.

6.3. Reliability Testing


Reliability testing demonstrates that the systems and equipment operate over a pre-determined
consecutive period within the design parameters and meet the reliability guarantee. The reliability
test will be performed in accordance with the contract and under the control of the Contractor
Commissioning Team, utilizing Owner O&M personnel. The test will be coordinated with the
CMT. The test run will conclude when the equipment demonstrates an operation within design
parameters and contract requirements.
Upon successful completion of functional and operational testing and the reliability test run, the
system turnover packages will be updated, and any additional information and documentation
required by the contract will be turned over to the owner before initial operation. The owner and
the Contractor Commissioning Team will walk-down the systems to confirm that all punch list

items have been completed, and the punch list will be amended. The punch list will be included
in the turnover package.
