01 / ABOUT
Understand the discipline in the context of a real project
The course follows the project: first the project parties and the early stage (contracts, FAT / SAT, CSU people and budget), then Engineering and Vendor documents, then systems completion with data validation and the interface with construction.
After that come pre-commissioning, commissioning, start-up, handover and planning. Guest experts from abroad take part in the course; the assignments and the final dossier give you practice on a continuous example facility.
02 / OUTCOMES
What you will learn
Outcomes are framed as work tasks: what you will be able to explain, do and check after the course.
01
Explain the handovers from Engineering to Handover and the roles of the project parties
02
Draw up a CSU org chart and manpower histogram, and describe hiring models and the CSU budget
03
Run data validation: tag extract, loops and single tags, loop folders, revision checks
04
Explain the interface between Construction and Commissioning: CWP / IWP, subsystems, the sequence agreement
05
Build a stakeholder map and a CSU communication rhythm, and put a proposal to a manager: risk, schedule, money
06
Describe pre-commissioning and commissioning by discipline, SIS and Fire & Gas validation, and readiness for hydrocarbon introduction
