Alan Mills helps ECITB to develop Training Standards in CSU

Uncategorized
Falcon Global's MD, Alan Mills has been working closely with the UK's Engineering Construction Industry Training Board to produce the first training standards in Systems Completion, Commissioning & Start-Up. “Throughout my career there has not been an internationally accepted standard for the CSU of facilities in the Process industries.

Interview with the Commissioning Coach, Thomas Stuenkel"Amazing interview, this kind of interview is the one that has to get into the EPC companies. They don't understand how important the completion steps are to be successful in the project and how using a completion tool will save time and money and also will provide transparency and process safety. Additionally, identifying systems in the early stage of the project and having all system components identified will help the project with planning for the system completions and start-up."

MasterClass Series Introduction to Foundation Training in Systems Completion and CSU with API RP 1FSC"As a former commissioning engineer I find this an excellent resource to aid best practices in asset management, start up, testing, inspection, monitoring, risk, safety and related topics.
