Commissioning Process

Vendor Commissioning Management

In the areas of commissioning critical equipment and maintaining the old, we strive to ensure our customers are comfortable with the level of support they receive from the equipment suppliers.

CrestCura personnel are experienced with a wide range of equipment suppliers and have worked with companies around the world as partners on projects large and small, from 5 MW to 1 GW. Inverters, tracking systems, SCADA, and battery storage systems are critical components on any utility scale project and coordination and management of the supplier’s commissioning teams play a key role in successful project execution.

Our team understands the importance of early defect detection and issue tracking. We have created IEC 62446 compliant inspections based on our industry experience to verify all equipment is defect free and meets the operational specifications outlined by the project requirements. Small issues can quickly turn into project stoppers and our team is ready to quickly resolve issues to keep the project on track.
