Commissioning, Diagnostics & Operational Support

Commissioning, fault investigation and ongoing operational support, on site and remote.

Overview

Site and remote support from FAT and commissioning through fault investigation to ongoing operation.

Faults are investigated across PLC logic, SCADA, field devices, networks and electrical installation, with the evidence and the fix recorded. Project delivery support is available as a scope of its own.

What this covers in detail

Commissioning & Site Support

Site and remote support for control-system, HMI, SCADA, E&I, motor-control and industrial communications work.

Typical scope
  • FAT and SAT planning and execution
  • Loop checks and device verification
  • PLC, HMI and SCADA defect resolution
  • Motor-control, instrument and MCC interface commissioning
  • Brownfield cutover support
  • Recommissioning of existing systems after shutdown, care-and-maintenance or project recovery
  • Start-up and operational readiness support
  • Commissioning records, redlines and handover support at project level

Specialist OT & Control-System Problem Solving

Support for unusual, non-standard or difficult OT and control-system problems.

Typical scope
  • Custom PLC diagnostic logic
  • Temporary data capture and event logging
  • Package system reverse engineering
  • Unusual communications interface investigation
  • Control logic trials and proof-of-concept work
  • Fault pattern capture and practical root-cause analysis
  • Brownfield workarounds and staged migration options
  • Support for process-to-operation control issues

Asset Management & Operational Support

Ongoing support for control-system reliability, maintainability and practical improvement.

Typical scope
  • Operational troubleshooting
  • PLC, HMI and SCADA support
  • Backup and documentation review
  • Spare parts and obsolescence planning
  • Alarm, trend and diagnostic improvement
  • Asset hierarchy, naming convention and tag-structure alignment
  • Support for planned shutdowns and brownfield changes
  • Small improvement scopes and staged upgrades
  • Support for future expansion planning

Project Delivery Support

Technical support for clients, EPCMs, vendors and owner-operator teams delivering control-system and E&I work.

Typical scope
  • Automation scope development
  • Control-system and SCADA design review
  • E&I work package support
  • Vendor package interface review
  • Commissioning and handover planning
  • Risk, issue and defect management support
  • Technical coordination across engineering, site and operations
  • Review of future expansion and lifecycle support considerations
