Inspection & Testing

Derek Eccles

I am a project manager, constructing new waste water treatment works, for a water company. The contractor building the new works has provided a program which has 4 months between  part 1 (dead testing) and part 2 (live testing) of the NICIEC certification. In between these dates, the contractor will test and commission of the plant and equipment e.g. pumps, actuated valves, instrumentation, screens etc.

Would it be correct to say, this does not comply with the wiring regulations ?

    So for the installation and testing of the pumps etc, will most of the fixed wiring have already been made live? But no live testing will have been performed on that fixed wiring before allowing pump people etc to make use of it? So for example any RCDs which might protect pump people during their install won't have been tested? Etc?

    Or will the pump people spend 4 months installing their kit but never using any power at any point? Either for general stuff like lighting and recharging tools, let alone for testing the pumps?
