Startup / Commissioning
Startup and commissioning is risky business.
Startup and commissioning accounts for barely 5% of all operations. In fact, most engineers participate in one only every couple of years. It’s during these types of non-routine activities that 70% of major accidents occur.
You may only have a few personnel with solid startup practices and that knowledge may be at risk due to employee attrition or an aging workforce. Without the proper resources and skill sets, you open the door to several startup risks, including:
- Delayed or missed production date
- Added capital expense costs (overruns)
- Lost revenue (extended project timeline)
- Additional operating expense with no production
- Environmental, health and safety risks
Under these conditions, attempting to execute effective startups without a proven process in place puts your entire operation at risk — financially and physically.
