Inspection & Testing

Derek Eccles

I work for a water company in the waste water capital procurement section. We engineer and purchase new waste water works for the company, employing consultants and contractors to design, build and test all of the new structures, plant and equipment. My role is project management and as the client we receive electrical inspection and testing paperwork (NICIEC) for the new works. 

I have a dregree in electrical/electronic engineering and would like some formal training, which highlights the requirement for the testing, how to interpret and check if the paperwork is correct?

Any suggestions would be most welcome - thanks in anticipation.

    Good for you, if only more people took that approach and wanted to know more about what they were paying for/ supervising .

    I think you may be in for a surprise how many folk doing testing are quite shaky on the underlying principles and come unstuck in non-standard situations. 

    We sometimes see extracts from paperwork that are clear works of fiction, or perhaps more charitably, competence limited operatives over-reaching. Mostly the folk who receive such offerings are in no position to challenge the conclusions, and may be either duped into unneeded remedial works  or left with un-spotted weaknesses in their installation, or indeed on a bad day, both at once.

    assuming you do the Cand G course, or indeed even if not, this forum is a good place to ask apparently ‘silly’ questions and discuss stuff in a non-formal setting (think of it as a bit like chatting in the pub - and perhaps if appropriate, treat those of us here and the advice given with the same level of caution.)

    Mike.
