15 — 17Testing, handover & operations

Nothing is handed over untested

The last months of the programme decide whether the facility behaves the way the drawings said it would. They end with a signed dossier, a trained operations team and a twin that stays in sync with the plant.

15Testing & commissioning

Prove every failure mode

Five levels, from witnessed factory tests to an integrated systems test that kills the utility at full load bank and watches the whole facility ride it out.

16Go-live & handover

Ready for operation

Handover is a deliverable, not a date. You receive a certified facility, the full as-built set, spares, O&M procedures and an operations team that has already run it under load.
