Installation, construction, and commissioning

INSTALLATION, CONSTRUCTION, AND COMMISSIONING

Installation, construction, and commissioning are critical phases that follow detailed design engineering. These stages transform engineered designs into operational facilities and systems.

At Alpheratz, we are qualified to support in the following areas:

Installation

Preparation and Planning

  • Site Preparation: Clearing and levelling the site, constructing access roads, and setting up temporary facilities (e.g., offices, storage).
  • Logistics Management: Coordinating the delivery of equipment, materials, and personnel to the site.

Installation Activities

  • Equipment Installation: Positioning and securing all mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation equipment according to design specifications.
  • Piping Installation: Assembling and installing piping systems, including welding, flanging, and connecting pipes to equipment.
  • Electrical and Instrumentation Setup: Installing electrical systems, wiring, and instruments, ensuring proper connections and placements.

Safety Considerations

  • Safety Protocols: Implementing safety measures and protocols to protect workers during installation, including proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
  • Regular Inspections: Conducting ongoing inspections during installation to ensure compliance with safety standards and engineering specifications.

Construction

Construction Management

  • Civil Works: Building infrastructure such as foundations, platforms, roads, and drainage systems.
  • Structural Assembly: Erecting steel structures and frameworks to support equipment and facilities.
  • Integration of Systems: Coordinating the integration of various systems, including mechanical, electrical, and control systems, into a cohesive operation

Construction Activities

  • Civil Works: Building infrastructure such as foundations, platforms, roads, and drainage systems.
  • Structural Assembly: Erecting steel structures and frameworks to support equipment and facilities.
  • Integration of Systems: Coordinating the integration of various systems, including mechanical, electrical, and control systems, into a cohesive operation.

Documentation and Reporting

  • Progress Reporting: Keeping detailed records of construction progress, including timelines, costs, and any changes to the original plan.
  • Change Management: Handling modifications and updates to the design or construction process as necessary.

Commissioning

Pre-Commissioning Activities

  • Inspection and Testing: Conducting inspections and tests on systems and equipment before they are brought online, including functional tests of systems and components.
  • Cleaning and Flushing: Ensuring that piping systems are clean and free of debris, performing flushing and cleaning procedures as needed

Commissioning Activities

  • System Startup: Gradually starting up systems and equipment, monitoring for proper operation and identifying any issues.
  • Performance Testing: Conducting performance tests to verify that systems operate according to design specifications and operational requirements.

Handover and Documentation

  • Final Inspections: Performing final inspections and obtaining approvals from regulatory bodies and stakeholders.
  • Documentation and Training: Providing comprehensive documentation, including operation manuals, maintenance guidelines, and safety procedures. Conducting training for operational staff to ensure they are familiar with the systems.
