For Critical & Continuous Systems
Mission critical commissioning at EEI is a rigorous and comprehensive process used to verify and validate the performance, reliability, and functionality of critical systems and facilities that require continuous, uninterrupted operation.
Commissioning Process & Benefits
The primary goal is to ensure 24/7/365 uptime and optimal performance of critical infrastructure.
This involves:
- Verifying that all systems and components meet design specifications and operational requirements
- Testing redundancy and failover capabilities
- Simulating various failure scenarios to assess system resilience
- Documenting system performance under normal and abnormal conditions
The commissioning process involves six distinct levels:
- Level 0: Develop the Cx plan and schedule, review design documents for conformance with standards, address scope gaps in meetings, and evaluate product data and shop drawings.
- Level 1: Create and execute factory test scripts for major equipment, document results and recommendations, and oversee equipment receipt inspections.
- Level 2: Provide Prefunctional Checklists, verify equipment installation and inspections, and perform pre-startup checks using manufacturer guidelines.
- Level 3: Witness equipment startups, verify testing and balancing, review BMS/EPMS systems, confirm labeling, and validate contractor processes for key equipment.
- Level 4: Develop and execute Functional Performance Tests, coordinate test schedules, perform additional system verifications, and retest until systems meet design intent.
- Level 5: Create Integrated Systems Test scripts, oversee execution, and ensure all deficiencies are resolved.
- Level 6: Facilitate a smooth transition to the facilities team, provide a Final Cx Report, deliver documentation, support operator training, and export equipment data for CMMS.

Specialized Expertise
Mission critical commissioning requires commissioning agents with:
- In-depth knowledge of critical facility design and operations
- Experience with complex MEP systems and controls
- Understanding of reliability engineering principles
- Ability to develop comprehensive test scripts and procedures
By employing these rigorous commissioning practices, organizations can maximize the reliability, efficiency, and performance of their mission critical facilities, ultimately reducing the risk of costly downtown and operational disruptions.
