At PLC Construction (PLC) we understand that a successful commissioning process is critical to the overall success of your project. Our expert commissioning team is dedicated to supporting you from initial startup through to the seamless turnover of operations. We ensure your facility operates safely, efficiently, and autonomously.
Ensure every part of your facility performs exactly as intended with our comprehensive commissioning services. From mechanical and electrical systems to instrumentation, controls, and process equipment, we verify that every component is installed, tested, and operating to specification. Our team provides detailed documentation, functional testing, and performance validation — ensuring seamless integration across all disciplines. Whether it’s a new build, expansion, or retrofit, we deliver safe, efficient, and reliable startups that turn design intent into proven performance.
Ensure your facility starts on the right track. Our pre-commissioning services cover loop checks, valve stroking, motor rotation verification, blade pitch checks, and rotating equipment alignment — providing a solid foundation for safe, efficient operation.
From nitrogen purges to vacuum system fills, our commissioning services prepare your plant for first operations. We install start-up screens, run motors, coordinate initial fills, and assist operations to ensure every system is validated and ready for production.
Optimize performance from day one. Our startup and handover services include manufacturer coordination, first gas support, PID loop tuning, plant performance evaluation, and documentation verification — ensuring safe, compliant, and fully operational systems.
PLC Construction Inc. offers specialized engineering support for developing comprehensive operating procedures tailored to facilities. PLCs scope includes generating a matrix of required procedures, drafting and issuing sections for review as they’re completed, and incorporating P&IDs for critical operations such as the initial start-up. Partnering with third-party experts under PLC’s management, we ensure procedures are accurate, practical, and aligned with field realities. Our team uses Bluebeam redlines for documentation and delivers final procedures within the time frame of our client’s project kickoff. Formal construction project management services can be included, however, our flexible approach allows us to adjust scope and deliverables to meet client needs efficiently.
Our commissioning services for mechanical systems and asset integrity are designed to ensure oil & gas operations start strong and stay reliable. We verify that all mechanical components—from piping and pressure vessels to rotating equipment—are installed correctly, function safely, and meet performance standards. Our team conducts thorough inspections, testing, and documentation to confirm system integrity and compliance. By identifying and resolving issues before startup, we help clients reduce risk, extend asset life, and achieve operational readiness with confidence.
Accurate instrumentation is critical to safe and efficient oil & gas operations. Our field services team specializes in precision instrument calibrations to ensure your equipment performs reliably under demanding conditions. By verifying and adjusting measurement tools to meet industry standards, we help clients maintain compliance, reduce operational risks, and optimize system performance. Whether it’s pressure, temperature, flow, or level instruments, our technicians deliver dependable calibration services that keep your operations running smoothly and confidently.
Our commissioning and plant start-up services are designed to ensure a smooth, safe, and efficient transition from construction to full operation. We provide comprehensive support including control system network configuration, DCS and PLC setup and testing, loop checks, C&E testing, and pre-commissioning walk-throughs. Our team maintains automation punch lists, delivers daily progress updates, and supports on-site vendor coordination. We also assist with operation start-up, post-startup DCS loop tuning, and operator training. PLC has identified key deliverables such as Loop Check Sheets, C&E Test Sheets, Network Test Sheets, and Commissioning Procedures—ensuring every phase of commissioning is documented and executed to the highest standards.
Featured Case Study
PLC’s Engineering Services division deployed a multidisciplinary team comprised of process/mechanical, structural, electrical, instrumentation, and control systems engineering and design professionals to complete the list of deliverables for this project.
We provide our clients with solutions. We use the latest technologies in our detailed multidisciplinary designs. Our drawing package included foundations, structural steel, pipe routing and connections, and electrical power and control systems.
In parallel, PLC developed work plans and HAZID reviews, supporting proper shut-down planning activities. As detailed engineering nears completion, PLC supports our client in its construction efforts by providing IFC packages and scope of work descriptions for each major construction trade (i.e. foundations, mechanical, electrical & controls).
Project alignment and collaboration are key in any project PLC oversees; weekly communication with our clients is a priority, as well as scheduled design reviews. (i.e. 30%, 60%, 90% design reviews). An added benefit is our laser scan technology; PLC can lead a virtual version of the plant working areas during such reviews.
Vendor Document Reviews were also included in our execution strategy for this project. PLC successfully coordinated the review of all vendor documentation, soliciting our client’s input, and returned all comments to various vendors in a timely manner.
We are happy to discuss our past experiences further and take a deep dive into the details.
