SGS provides commissioning services for compression module building in Brazil

In January 2012, SGS was awarded a contract to perform comprehensive third-party services during the building of a compression module for a petroleum platform by one of the biggest national companies offering complete solutions for the infrastructure area in Brazil. For the duration of the contract, scheduled until April 2012, the SGS team of experts will conduct commissioning services in order to ensure the integrity of the process within the planned schedule.

Once ready, new industrial plants need a support system to facilitate the transition from construction to operation. For this reason, proper management of plant commissioning is essential for timely and successful plant operation.

Since the entire implementation process—from the planning phase right through to operations—presents a substantial challenge for the project owner, it is very important to bring in experts with extensive expertise and experience in commissioning services and management. In order to ensure the integrity of the process within the planned schedule, project owners often look for a reliable inspection, verification, testing and certification company.

For the duration of the contract, scheduled until April 2012, SGS’s team of experts will carry out various tests to verify the functions of the compression module according to its design objectives and specifications. Based on first-rate competence in commissioning, SGS will execute calibrations of instruments, test valves and loops, check all assembly details and support completion of electric assembly.

With the help of SGS, the compression module will be successfully guided to operation, within the agreed timescales, and in accordance with technical documentation, standards and requirements.
