When multiple contractors are responsible for coordinating their installations, performance and integration complexities are expected. Complex control sequences and the interactive impact of equipment on energy and reliability exacerbate issues related to operations and energy efficiency. Managing a proper integration process will help assure effective system communications, efficient operations and relaible performance.

Controls and installation issues are least costly when identified earlier in the construction process. CST’s construction management and quality services provides the needed pre-commissioning verification to identify potential issues prior to the execution of system validation. Our business goal is integrate our services into the construction process and work as part of the construction team. The goal is successful delivery of a high performance facility.
