Answers to Critical Concerns

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our pre-commissioning standards and deployment approach.

Pre-commissioning covers all activities between mechanical completion and initial startup. This includes hydrostatic testing, chemical cleaning, steam blowing, oil flushing, drying, and system verification to ensure new assets meet design specifications before first operation.

Pre-commissioning planning should begin during the detailed engineering phase. Early engagement allows us to optimize procedures, sequence activities, and pre-stage equipment to minimize schedule risk during the critical path to startup.

Virtually all process systems benefit from pre-commissioning, including piping, vessels, heat exchangers, storage tanks, boilers, turbines, and associated utility systems. The scope depends on system complexity and cleanliness requirements.

Duration depends on system complexity, scope, and access constraints. Typical projects range from 1 to 4 weeks of field execution, preceded by 2 to 4 weeks of engineering and procedure development.

Yes. Our in-house engineering team develops custom procedures for every project, including chemical cleaning sequences, steam blow criteria, oil flush targets, and safety documentation.

We routinely achieve NAS 1638 Class 6 for hydraulic systems, ISO 4406 targets for lube oil flushing, and ASTM A380/A967 standards for passivation. Specific targets are set per project requirements.

Yes. We scale our crews and equipment to support parallel execution across multiple units, coordinating with the overall turnaround schedule to optimize the critical path.

Our crews operate across Western Canada (Alberta, Saskatchewan) and the United States (Texas and Gulf Coast), with mobile equipment that can deploy to any accessible location within 48 hours.
