Power Plant Guarantee Consulting

GTAnalysis can provide the consulting expertise needed to substantially improve your position in obtaining a fair and equitable commissioning closure to your plant guarantees and operation.

Millions of dollars worth of overlooked, uncovered, and vague descriptions that are written into contracts occur all too often. If they are not captured early, the focus of building the plant becomes schedule and these items fall through the cracks.

What Are Some Important Items to Obtain Agreement on Up Front?

There are a number of areas that information should be passed to the purchaser of plant equipment that later might reveal hidden problems or can be quite useful during your plant commissioning and start-up. For example, these areas can include factory test data, certain control input data, and selected measurements planned for your plant. The following are just a few of the subject areas on which GTAnalysis will consult and give your organization guidance:

• What data should you have up front on a contract signing?
• What should be in your plants test procedure, tolerances, and selected measurements used during testing?
• Testing your Plant - Is control set up properly, following the best procedures and expert witnessing?
• Plant Operation - Normal Practices, washes, fuel contaminants, etc.
• Guarantee results - Corrections, Shortfalls and Settling on Liquidated Damages

These are, again, only a few examples of areas to watch out for. All too often, important commissioning and guarantee procedures are vaguely specified. These pitfalls could easily be avoided with the proper guidance in consulting saving a lot of aggravation and costs later.
