Commissioning
& Startup
Getting Your Facility Online,
Safer and Faster
Our experienced personnel manage the transition from construction to operation with a disciplined, field-driven approach. From pre-commissioning through startup, systems are checked, tested, and brought online safely so there are no surprises when it matters most.
Our commissioning and startup teams support gas processing and treating facilities, compressor stations, and related midstream systems through the full handoff to operations.
Before mechanical completion, we develop a comprehensive commissioning plan and mobilize our commissioning team to support mechanical, process, and electrical system progress. Field scope can include P&ID walkdowns and redlines, cause and effect reviews, pre-startup safety reviews, purging and dryout, loop checks, instrument calibration, and other startup-critical tasks.
By working closely with construction and operations personnel, we help ensure systems are completed in the proper sequence for startup, commissioning, and ultimately achieving performance testing requirements.

Keep Your Operation Running
If you need reliable support in the field or help covering critical roles, we’re ready to step in.
Let’s discuss how we can support your next project.
This is where projects either come together or start to slip. Commissioning and startup are the final steps before a facility goes live, and they carry more risk than any other phase.
Delays, miscommunication, and missed details tend to show up here. Crews are under pressure, timelines are tight, and systems are being energized for the first time.
We step in to bring structure to that process. Our team works alongside contractors and operators to make sure systems are fully verified, properly tested, and ready to perform safely.

A Structured Approach in the Field
We follow a clear, step-by-step process to keep work organized and reduce risk during startup.
Review drawings, scope, and system readiness before stepping into the field
Confirm equipment and systems are installed correctly and ready for testing
Validate controls, instrumentation, and functionality across systems
Execute startup in a controlled, coordinated sequence
Ensure everything is operating as intended before handoff
Experience That Shows Up on Site
Our team has hands-on experience supporting commissioning and startup across a range of midstream environments. We understand how projects actually unfold in the field and how to work alongside the crews responsible for getting them across the finish line.
- Gas processing and treating facilities
- Compressor Stations
- Pipelines
We integrate with existing teams, communicate clearly, and stay focused on getting systems online without creating additional delays.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our work can span pre-commissioning, commissioning, and startup, including system walkdowns, mechanical completion verification, functional testing, loop checks, instrument calibration, control system verification, equipment energization, startup sequencing, and performance checks.
After startup, Midstream Operators can continue supporting the facility through contract operations, optimization, operator training, and temp-to-hire staffing.
If you’re approaching startup or already in the middle of it, we can step in and help you get across the finish line.
