Installation, commissioning and handover: what should be ready?

A practical list for the installation, commissioning and handover stage, from installation checks to documents.

A good handover is the result of good preparation. Run through the points below before start-up.

Installation check

Equipment and routes are installed per the drawings, supports and connections are complete and access around the equipment is clear.

Tests and settings

Carry out the tests the project documents call for and record the results. Initial equipment settings are made at this stage too.

Operator briefing

The facility’s representative should know how to start and stop the equipment, what signs to watch for and when to call.

Handover documents

Hand over as-built drawings, equipment manuals, test results and the recommended service list.

Snag list

Write down the remaining items, name an owner and a date for each, and get sign-off once they are closed.
