At the start of The Project, Andersen’s in-house MEP staff will join in the planning for the eventual start-up and commissioning of the MEP systems. They will work with Andersen’s on-site team to review the specifications for each piece of equipment and develop complete task lists that establish start-up procedures for each component. The tasks will be committed to a start-up schedule which will be included in sub and supplier contracts, and used weekly. Long before the appointed day that The Project is turned over, Andersen will have tested and proven all systems operate correctly, building staff are trained to operate the systems, and that all O&M manuals and as-builts are in-hand.
