Control: 5.S.2 Integrated CSU Philosophy and Schedule Defined

Title Description

Context

It is important to ensure that opportunities, risks and boundary conditions of the Commissioning and Start-up (CSU) phase, as well as the time needed for the CSU phase are considered early in the project. This is in order to realise opportunities and to prevent unachievable early promises to stakeholders and under-estimated cost and resource requirements for subsequent phases. This may, ultimately, result in the project being unable to commission and start-up the facility within the time and resources that meet the business commitment. CSU can also be a significant contribution to the Greenhouse Gas performance of the asset and needs to be considered.

This control is needed to ensure that

  • high level CSU risks, opportunities and boundary conditions such as CP Strategy, roles and responsibilities and the Completion Process are understood.
  • CSU schedule reflects the sequence/process that enables the Greenhouse Gas performance promise.
  • there is alignment on the CSU duration, requirements for the selected concept and an integrated approach between the execution/construction and CSU schedule throughout project delivery.

Activity

 Develop a Commissioning and Start Up Philosophy and Integrate the CSU activities for the selected concept showing principle logic between the high-level activities, interdependencies and estimate durations of these activities.

Purpose

 In order to ensure that during Define a CSU plan and schedule can be developed that address the CSU risks (opportunities and threats), Greenhouse Gas performance, and reflect the critical path and interdependencies aligned with the construction/execution schedule.
