Power plant commissioning is a critical part of the overall process of taking a power plant from construction and installation through to full operation. Shanahan Engineering’s unique blend of construction and installation services combined with our expertise and experience on power plant operation and maintenance puts us in a unique position with regard to power plant commissioning.

Other companies involved in power plant commissioning, simply want to accept systems and equipment, commission and leave. In Shanahan Engineering, we understand the problems that construction contractors have in finishing systems and producing turn over packages to satisfactory standard. We also understand the requirements of owners when it comes to accepting commissioned power plants and deciding if they are indeed fully operational.

When it comes to power plant commissioning, our team gets very involved in assisting the construction contractors with the turn over effort, supervising final cleaning processes, pressure testing, motor and pump testing, cold and hot loop checking etc.
We also consult closely with the plant operating team, coaching new employees with on the job training, working as part of the initial power plant operations team, ensuring that final turn over packages meet owners requirements and ensuring that the integrated systems perform to the owners satisfaction.
