But in order to get there, you need to strategically plan your testing, commissioning and start-up activities as early as possible during the design phase. This will help you prevent worker injuries, eventual production losses and damage to your facilities. Once your systems are up and running, you’ll have to remain vigilant, resolving deficiencies as quickly as possible without compromising your operations. Your plant’s productivity must be supported by a strategic maintenance plan, efficient corrective measures and continuous process optimization. 2. - ![Commissioning and field services - Substation in a snowy location](https://www.assets.bbaconsultants.com/bba-production-assets/production/images/Industries-et-services/_3000x3333_fit_center-center_100_none_ffffff/66645/Commissioning-and-field-services.webp) ## Engineering and technical support join forces For BBA’s field service experts, supporting clients from studies to operations is key, and the many operational readiness mandates we’ve completed have been rewarding challenges in their own right.
