Module 11 · Interface Management & Commissioning

From construction complete
to Ready for Start-Up.

Complete interface management and commissioning — Interface Register, system boundaries, Mechanical Completion certificates, pre-commissioning checklists, and RFSU certification for safe plant startup.

EPCdoc Interface and Commissioning
Core Features

Interface management and commissioning built for process plant startup.

🔌
Interface Register
  • Interface Register with unique IRI numbers per interface
  • Interface type: Physical / Data / Utility / Operational
  • Responsible party A and Party B — the two contractors sharing the interface
  • Interface Agreement (IA) — formal sign-off of agreed deliverable
  • Interface Notice (IN) — formal notification when interface is at risk
  • Status: Open → In Progress → Agreed → Closed → Disputed
🗂️
System Boundary Register
  • System register — define which tags and lines belong to each commissioning system
  • System boundaries approved by commissioning manager
  • Tag register linkage — equipment, instruments, valves, and lines per system
  • System completion percentage — how many tags are mechanically complete
  • System priority — which systems are on the critical commissioning path
  • Sub-system register for complex systems with multiple isolatable sections
🏁
Mechanical Completion (MC) Certificates
  • MC Certificate per system — signed by construction and quality
  • Pre-requisites: All A-punch cleared, ITP records complete, NCRs closed
  • MC certificate approval workflow — contractor → client → PMC
  • Punch list gate — no MC certificate until all A-punch cleared
  • MC achieved date — actual vs planned for each system
  • MC certificate register — all systems status in one dashboard
📋
Pre-Commissioning Checklists
  • Pre-commissioning checksheets auto-generated from tag lists per system
  • Checklist types: Mechanical / Electrical / Instrumentation / Civil / Piping
  • Hydrostatic and pneumatic leak test register — pressure, duration, result
  • Instrument loop testing records — calibration, range, and test status
  • Cable megger test register — insulation resistance per cable
  • Flushing and cleaning records with verification signatures
🚀
Ready for Start-Up (RFSU)
  • RFSU certificate — gate between pre-commissioning complete and commissioning active
  • B-punch cleared as RFSU pre-requisite
  • Multi-party RFSU sign-off: Contractor / Client / PMC / Authority
  • RFSU date — actual vs planned for each system
  • Commissioning spares list — confirmed on-hand before RFSU
  • RFSU dashboard — all systems progress toward startup
📊
Commissioning Dashboard
  • System-by-system completion percentage — MC certificates vs total systems
  • Pre-commissioning completion — checklists done vs required
  • Punch list by category — A/B outstanding per system
  • Commissioning critical path — which systems gate first gas / first power
  • Daily commissioning log — activities and observations
  • Handover dossier compilation — all records per system
AI in Interface & Commissioning — 5 AI Features

AI that predicts commissioning readiness.

Know which systems will achieve RFSU on time — 8 weeks in advance.

🔮
AI System Completion Predictor
Based on outstanding punch items, uncompleted pre-commissioning checklists, and current completion velocity — AI predicts which systems will achieve MC and RFSU on schedule vs which will slip.
⚠️
AI Interface Risk Detector
Monitors interface register and linked document status — identifies interfaces likely to cause commissioning delay based on document status, TQ responses outstanding, and contractor progress.
📋
AI Pre-Comm Checklist Generator
AI generates system-specific pre-commissioning checklists from the tag register, applicable engineering standards, and vendor manuals — complete with test parameters and acceptance criteria.
🏁
AI Handover Dossier Compiler
AI compiles the complete system handover dossier — ITP records, NC closures, punch clearance, test records, and certificates — and generates a completeness gap report before physical handover.
🔌
AI Interface Agreement Drafter
When two contractors need to formally agree an interface, AI drafts the Interface Agreement from the IRI register data — scope, deliverable, format, date, and both parties' obligations.
Interface and Commissioning System
How It Works

From construction complete to RFSU.

1
Define System Boundaries
Tag all equipment, instruments, and lines to commissioning systems. AI validates completeness of tag assignment.
2
Generate Pre-Comm Checklists
AI generates system-specific checklists from tag lists. Teams complete in field on mobile PWA.
3
Clear Punch & Issue MC
All A-punch cleared. ITP records complete. MC certificate signed by all parties.
4
RFSU & Handover
B-punch cleared. RFSU signed. Commissioning begins. Handover dossier compiled automatically.
