Complete Greenfield Plant Electrical & Control System – Picayune, Mississippi

Project Type:

Commissioning Team Management Manage Punch-lists / Issue logs / Turnover Documentation Creating Commissioning Plans for Major Systems Oversee turnover from Construction Create functional testing / commissioning work-packs with process test procedures and reporting System / Equipment Start-up

Outline of Project:

ICS worked with the Client over multiple years in developing the plan to build a new production facility. Once design was completed ICS then acted as the procurement agent for all electrical distribution equipment. ICS was the process control systems integrator for the SCADA system. The project scope of work also evaluated the new and existing electrical equipment, performed arc flash and coordination studies for the complete electrical system (4160V incoming transformer, switchgear and multiple 480V MCCs) at their production plants and office buildings. ICS completed the plant’s functional testing, startup and commissioning into full operation per the design criteria.

Deliverables:

  • Pre-project estimation of costs associated with the electrical and control systems for the new plant
  • Plant-wide design, procurement, factory acceptance testing, onsite startup and commissioning of the electrical, control systems, industrial network and SCADA system
  • Project management with responsibilities covering electrical installation, functional testing, startup and commissioning
  • Project Commissioning Authority - functional testing, startup, commissioning & retro-commissioning
  • Turn-over package documentation
    • RFI question and answer log with drawing markups
    • O&M manuals
    • As-Built electrical, networking, control system drawings
