Frequently asked questions
Can you commission work carried out by someone else?
Yes, and it is common. We test independently and record what we find, with no interest in covering for anyone.
Do you attend tests witnessed by class?
Yes. We prepare the system and the documentation and attend the tests.
How long does full PMS commissioning take?
For a two or three gen-set installation, typically 2–4 days including blackout testing, provided the installation is ready.
