Site start-up
high-level site start-up services for your industrial instrumentation
Ensuring a Smooth and Efficient Production Launch
When CIRA oversees your site’s start-up phase, our objective is to ensure a seamless transition into production—so your operations run efficiently, safely, and to full capacity from day one.
We begin with a comprehensive inspection of all installed systems and equipment, verifying that each component is properly configured and ready for activation. This includes validating electrical and communication links, calibrating measurement devices, and confirming full functionality of control loops.
Why Partner with CIRA?
your productivity is our priority!
Our Site Start-Up Commitments
Our teams support and participate in final functional testing, ensuring that both performance and safety criteria are met before commissioning. Based on test results, we detect and resolve any anomalies—preventing issues before they impact your operations.
With CIRA by your side, you benefit from a controlled, stress-free start-up phase, minimized risk, and maximized operational readiness—so you can stay focused on achieving your performance goals.
Compliance and Safety
We verify that every aspect of the installation meets applicable standards and regulatory requirements, ensuring a compliant and secure working environment.
Operational Efficiency
We fine-tune your systems and processes for optimal startup conditions, minimizing delays and accelerating time to full productivity.
Systems Validation
We rigorously test system components to detect and resolve any functional issues prior to commissioning.
Staff training
We prepare your teams to operate new systems and procedures with confidence and autonomy, reinforcing long-term success.
Tasks performed
CIRA site start-up, step by step
01Calibration and functional testing
Functional testing verifies that every component or system in a plant, unit or skid is operating correctly. Conducted in conjunction with design engineers or operators, these tests involve creating every conceivable operational condition and ensuring that equipment reacts as expected, even under extreme conditions. They also identify and correct unexpected behavior, such as an unexpected valve opening, to ensure system reliability.
Our priorities are compliance with standardized procedures, and accurate documentation of results. For functional testing, we simulate real-life operating conditions to verify all possible usage scenarios, and document results to ensure traceability and compliance with technical specifications.
02On-call duty 3x8h – 2x8h
On-call means ensuring that technical staff are always available to intervene rapidly in the event of a problem or breakdown, on or off working days and hours. This ensures continuity of operations and minimizes interruptions.
We work 3x8h and 2x8h shifts to ensure that our on-site services are available for the full duration of operations, particularly during site shutdowns and restarts, which can take place over a relatively long continuous period, but are strategic in terms of productivity and safety.
Our priorities are absolute compliance with regulations, to guarantee our customers and employees the best possible availability and working conditions.
03Training
Industrial instrumentation training aims to enhance technical skills and optimize equipment operation. This includes teaching the fundamental and advanced principles of instrumentation, providing practical advice on the use and maintenance of equipment, and ensuring optimum use of systems.
Our priorities are the adaptability and relevance of training programs to meet the needs of industrial instrumentation professions and the specificities of different industries. Clear documentation and well-defined assessment procedures are developed.
CIRA is at the heart of energy, instrumentation and measurement, today and tomorrow.
