The problem
Equipment arriving on site does not mean the site is ready to receive it. Foundations, lifting plans, utilities, storage and specialist availability can determine the installation sequence. The final acceptance basis should be agreed before trials begin, with defects and exclusions recorded.
Solution overview
- Review foundations, access, lifting and utility prerequisites.
- Coordinate vendor supervision and inspection responsibilities.
- Track test results, defects, manuals, spares and training.
Technical & engineering requirements
These inputs establish the review basis. Record unavailable information as an open action rather than an assumed fact.
- Approved drawings and manufacturer installation instructions
- Safe-work procedures and authorised site personnel
- Agreed test conditions, witnesses and acceptance criteria
Equipment & technical considerations
Keep energisation under the responsible authorised personnel.
Record deviations and repeat tests where agreed criteria are not met.
Handover should include the information required to operate and maintain the equipment.
Implementation process
- Verify receipt and site prerequisites.
- Coordinate installation and pre-commissioning checks.
- Support controlled test coordination and evidence collection.
- Close handover actions with the owner.
Typical deliverables
Agree the required depth, review responsibilities and issue dates for each deliverable before work begins.
- Site-readiness and installation checklist
- Commissioning schedule and punch-list register
- Operator handover dossier index
