A structured start-up facilitates the orderly transition of a project from the construction phase to the operating phase. WTCO’s start-up activities encompass a structured and consequent review of the constructed facility plant with respect to the contractually stipulated scope of operation. This necessitates accurate planning of start-up procedures.

WTCO’s services at the start of the operating phase include the following:

• Elaboration and coordination of commissioning, takeover and performance test programs as well as start-up procedures
• Supervision of commissioning, takeover and performance tests as well as start-up
  
• Supervision and coordination of trial run as well as takeover of plant
  
• Acceptance test and pertinent certificates
  
• Elaboration of operating and maintenance manuals
  
• Staff training
  
• Technical consultancy after start-up (e.g.: with regard to ongoing operation)
