The Importance of Pre-Commissioning

B&W continues to lead the way as the premier provider of pre-commissioning services in the industry. Pre-commissioning activities allow facility owners to rest assured that the start-up and future operations of their facilities will run smoothly. As the most critical link in a project’s life cycle, properly planning and executing the pre-commissioning activities is imperative to the project’s success and will save you both schedule days and money.

Pre-commissioning activities ensure that all parts of a plant are in a suitable state of cleanliness and readiness prior to the commissioning and future operations of a plant. Sounds simple enough right? Yet, if  the pre-commissioning process is not planned for thoroughly from the beginning stages of a project, it could cost a company upwards of one million dollars. This is why taking into consideration all the components of pre-commissioning is so crucial to a projects success. If underestimated, the process will only cost a company more in the long run. When planned correctly though, a smooth pre-commissioning process can be expected and will allow for effective transitions through the remaining phases of the project, providing value to the overall construction and improve project safety.

Pre-commissioning activities can consist of a variety of processes. B&W offers engineered pre-commissioning cleaning services using our specialized equipment, including AquaLazing, chemical cleaning, steam blowing, air blowing and pulse flushing. But, from the development of a pre-commissioning cleaning plan to managing and executing all of these cleaning services, for pre-commissioning to truly be effective, each service must be predeterminate before the start of a project. The key to a successful pre-commissioning is to become proactive instead of reactive and thorough planning is the only true way to achieve this.
