The objectives of this paper were to:
describe startup activities in the construction
management environment;
explain how using a "Prepare - Schedule - Protocol"
(PSP) Method can help coordinate and assist your
staff in preparing to bring new facilities on-line; and, use real life examples to illustrate PSP. In the PSP Preparation element, operators need to find specific information on future equipment buried in design specifications, equipment submittals, O&M manual
submittals and other documents. Information such as design criteria, capacities, and
other characteristics must be organized and readily available to be useful.
In the PSP Scheduling element, operators must learn how to communicate in the
"construction management" environment and in the proper medium, following transmittal
procedures, and adjusting for construction progression.
The third and most complex PSP element is the Protocol development. A well written
protocol describes in detail to the operators, construction crew, and engineers the steps
necessary to start, prove performance and allow the owner to accept new equipment. A
"Bottom-Up" startup protocol is a simple progression and grouping of startup tasks to bring new assets into service. The protocol addresses issues discovered in the PSP
preparation and scheduling elements. Includes tables, figures.
