tank commissioning checklist
1. Pre-Commissioning Inspection
2. Mechanical Integrity Checks
3. Safety and Environmental Compliance
4. Functional Testing
- Fill the tank with water to the specified test pressure.
- Observe joints, fittings, and seams for any signs of leakage.
- Maintain pressure for the required duration as per standards.
- Document any leaks or pressure drops observed during the test.
- Open fill and discharge valves to ensure proper operation.
- Check for any obstructions or blockages in the lines.
- Monitor flow rates to confirm they meet design specifications.
- Ensure all systems return to a safe state post-testing.
- Calibrate level sensors according to manufacturer guidelines.
- Compare readings from the instrument with a manual measurement.
- Check for consistency across different tank levels.
- Document any discrepancies and adjust calibration as necessary.
- Simulate emergency conditions to test shut-off response.
- Verify that all safety alarms and indicators activate correctly.
- Inspect shut-off valves for mechanical integrity and functionality.
- Conduct tests at various operational levels to ensure reliability.
- Create a vacuum in the tank to the specified level.
- Monitor for pressure changes indicating leaks over time.
- Inspect all seals, joints, and connections for integrity.
- Document results and take corrective actions if necessary.
5. Documentation and Reporting
- Gather all reports from inspections and tests conducted.
- Organize reports in chronological order.
- Ensure all documents are signed and dated.
- Create a summary document outlining key findings.
- Store reports in a designated electronic folder.
- Review original drawings against completed work.
- Make necessary revisions to reflect actual installations.
- Add notes or annotations for clarity.
- Ensure all changes are documented and approved.
- Save the updated drawings in the project’s records.
- Check for required compliance certificates for all equipment.
- Verify the validity and expiration dates of each certificate.
- Ensure certificates are signed by authorized personnel.
- Compile certificates into a single compliance file.
- Store the file in an accessible location for audits.
- Draft a report summarizing the commissioning process.
- Include findings, issues encountered, and resolutions.
- Attach relevant documentation as appendices.
- Ensure clarity and completeness for stakeholder review.
- Submit the report to project management for approval.
- Identify all stakeholders requiring documentation.
