AZCIG provides Test and commissioning (T&C) services for power generation projects to ensure that all systems and components of a power plant and network infrastructure are installed correctly, function as intended, and meet design specifications and regulatory requirements.
Verify System Integrity
· Ensure all equipment and systems are installed correctly and function as per design.
· Validate that the plant operates safely and efficiently.
Ensure Compliance
· Meet regulatory, environmental, and safety standards.
· Adhere to industry codes and standards (e.g. AS, IEEE, IEC, ASME).
Optimize Performance
· Fine-tune systems for optimal performance and efficiency.
· Identify and resolve any issues before commercial operation.
Documentation and Handover
· Provide detailed records of tests, inspections, and performance data.
· Facilitate smooth handover to the Owner or operator.
