Plant Launch

Commissioning & Startup

The ability for the entire startup team to troubleshoot is crucial in the startup phase. In order to effectively troubleshoot, the team must have a thorough understanding of the system components and the system as a whole. With tight deadlines and the massive amount of testing to be done in this phase, the team’s ability to logically identify and eliminate faults is paramount.

Additionally, you will need processes and systems in place so that when problems do occur you can capture all of the pertinent data for root cause analysis and the beginnings of equipment history. GP Strategies’ experts can provide the critical support needed during this phase so that your maintenance program can truly begin to be implemented. We can create structured maintenance training and provide on-the-job training (OJT) for operators and ensure your operations and maintenance staff are trained and certified on the new processes and equipment in the plant.

Overcome the many challenges of the startup phase.
