The Challenge
Startup and testing is a specialty
profession that not only requires
experience and education in various
disciplines (electrical, mechanical,
chemical, nuclear, HVAC), but also
qualifcations per ANSI standards. For
many companies who do not engage in
routine project work, there is an added
project expense in forming an internal test
organization, particularly since experience
can only be obtained by direct hire. One
alternative to minimizing project costs
while obtaining the highest quality product
and greatest probability of meeting project
schedule and budget is to contract out
the startup test support function. WSMS
can provide this service based on our
experience in project work and readily
available qualifed test personnel.

government and foreign projects, many
of them in highly regulated industries.
Our projects cover the entire range of
processes including nuclear, chemical,
industrial, aerospace and environmental.
We have learned through our design,
construction and operations experience
that integrating start up and acceptance
testing into the overall project, beginning
with design and continuing through hot
commissioning, is a key to the overall
success of a project. This integration leads
to project completion on time, within
budget, and with a high degree of quality
and confdence of meeting design goals.
Our Startup, Testing, and Commissioning
program incorporates lessons learned
from our industrial, commercial and
government project experience that are
applicable to safety, schedule and quality.
