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 ?

    A supply will be available, but not connected, before the dead testing begins. When the dead testing is complete, the supply will be connected, all of the plant and equipment will be made live, at various times within the 4 month period, before live testing, to enure it functions correctly (commissioned) i.e. pumps come on and off, valves open and close at the appropriate times. When the whole plant has been tuned and proved to working correctly, the live testing will be carried out. The plant will then be handed over to the operator to operate and maintain for the next 30 years.
