Qualified Team of Staff for Commissioning

The Service provider should provide a team of suitably qualified and experienced engineers and technicians to pre-commission and commission the overall plant. 

The Service provider should also ensure that a suitably qualified commissioning engineer from the respective manufacturer’s own service organization should visit the site to check the erection or installation of each significant plant item, and to supervise the commissioning of the plant item until the basic functioning of the item has been demonstrated to the Engineer’s satisfaction.

Ensure Safety Induction during Commissioning
