OUR APPROACH TO COMMISSIONING

 

We recognize that every project is unique and deserves special attention.  The methods used to commission facilities will vary depending on the type of facility, the owner’s needs, the complexity of the systems, and the available budget.  At TestComm, we thoroughly review each project and provide a formal plan review.  We work closely with the owner, the designer, and the contractor to create a commissioning team.  We feel that the interpersonal skills of the commissioning agent have a large influence on the success of the commissioning process.

During new building commissioning, our goal is to provide the greatest amount of value to the owner with the least impact on the project schedule.  To this end, we stay involved with the project throughout design and construction to find problems, coordinate with the team, build relationships, and offer resolutions before the problems impact the owner or the contractor.

We maintain a full inventory of calibrated tools and the equipment necessary to fully test and commission various facilities.  Our tools include airflow and velocity measurement equipment, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, pressure sensors, electronic water flow gauges, light level meters, sound and vibration analyzers, electrical meters, and power quality analyzers.  All instruments are calibrated at intervals recommended by certifying agencies and the equipment manufacturer.
