Full Functionality – Guaranteed!
From the initial stages of planning and design through construction, ACS never loses sight of what your facility needs to do when it’s complete. Our expertise through all phases of project delivery ensures that the final facility matches the design intent.
ACS Building Commissioning Services – Functional Performance Testing
ACS defines building testing and commissioning services as a proactive, integrated process for achieving, verifying and documenting building and systems components. Our process is implemented throughout the project, beginning in the pre-construction phase. ACS provides the direction for the commissioning process, providing details such as scheduling, participation of various parties, actual lines of reporting, level of documentation, development of pre-functional testing requirements and development of detailed functional performance test procedures. We also conduct Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) on equipment that’s manufactured or assembled in our facility, to verify functionality as well as minimize costly onsite troubleshooting.
