SERVICES DURING CONSTRUCTION

It is tempting to assume that systems can be completed with minimal supervision by the owner or engineer. After all, system requirements were carefully and clearly defined in comprehensive plans and specifications. However, the key to a successful project implementation is the oversight of the contractor during system construction.

Process automation and SCADA system projects are complex by nature. Because system installation and start-up are typically performed in an operating facility, rigorous and proactive oversight of the contractor’s activities is crucial.
