Project Support
We support each project to the degree the customer requires. Some customers purchase equipment and manage the remaining work themselves; others ask SIVAT to stay involved through construction, start-up, and turnover.
SIVAT Water Solutions supports aquatic projects through construction: constructability and installation review, quality control, start-up and commissioning assistance, manufacturer documentation and owner training.
During construction, optional services
Constructability review and quality control. At the customer’s request, we can visit the project periodically to review progress, observe installation conditions, answer equipment-related questions, and identify issues while they can still be corrected. These services can reduce rework during construction.
Start-up and commissioning
Proper start-up is critical to system performance, efficiency, and service life. Even correctly installed equipment can underperform if initialization, calibration, sequencing, or commissioning is incomplete.
Our team brings experience across more than 200 aquatic projects and has provided start-up services on most of them.
Turnover
Manufacture Documentation. Prepared specifically for the project, with relevant equipment information and training instruction.
Owner training. Because members of our team have operated aquatic systems, training can address not only what the equipment is, but how it is actually used, maintained, monitored, and troubleshot in day-to-day operations.
As-built review and final installation review complete the handover.
Why turnover deserves attention
The owner may operate this system for decades, so a thorough handover is essential.
Common questions
What is included in aquatic system start-up and commissioning support?
Start-up covers filling and flushing, pump rotation and flow balancing, filter media loading, instrument calibration, control sequence verification, and confirming that alarms reach the people they are supposed to reach. Commissioning demonstrates that the system meets the specified performance. When requested, SIVAT can provide start-up and commissioning support to the contractor, the manufacturers’ representatives and the owner’s operators.
Does SIVAT provide O&M manuals and owner training?
Yes. We offer separate O&M services that consist of compiling the operation and maintenance manual from the approved submittals and the as-built configuration, and we train the owner’s staff on normal operation, maintenance intervals, alarms and common failure modes.
Does SIVAT install the equipment?
SIVAT does not act as the installing contractor. We supply the equipment, review the installation against the approved submittals and the manufacturers’ requirements, and if necessary can support the installing contractor’s crew on site.
