Project Delivery · Commissioning
Testing & commissioning (FAT/SAT)
Proof that every system performs as designed — documented, witnessed and signed off before handover.
What Commissioning covers
We prepare test procedures for approval, then test cabling, devices and complete systems: channel certification and fiber loss tests, camera image quality and frame rates, recording and retention, access and alarm scenarios, failover and UPS cut-over. Results are recorded on test sheets and witnessed with the consultant, and handover includes O&M manuals, as-built drawings and training.
Commissioning in brief
| Test equipment | Calibrated copper certifiers, OTDRs and power meters |
|---|---|
| Test types | FAT, SAT, channel certification, failover and endurance |
| Records | Device test sheets and serial number registers |
| Handover | O&M manuals, as-built drawings and training |
Testing in line with Qatar Construction Specifications (QCS), ANSI/TIA cabling test standards and applicable MOI-SSD test requirements.
Commissioning deliverables
- Testing and commissioning method statements
- Copper certification and fiber OTDR reports
- System functional and integration test sheets
- Failover, UPS and endurance test records
- O&M manuals, as-builts and operator training
When clients ask for Commissioning
- New installations before handover
- Upgrades and migrations
- Pre-inspection verification
- Third-party verification of installations
How we approach Commissioning
Test the whole system
Integration and failure scenarios are tested, not just individual devices.
Calibrated instruments
Certification results are only as good as the test equipment's calibration.
Witnessed results
Joint witnessing with the consultant speeds up acceptance.
Services alongside Commissioning
Commissioning: common questions
What is the difference between FAT and SAT?
Factory acceptance testing checks equipment before delivery; site acceptance testing proves the installed system works on site.
Can you test a system installed by another contractor?
Yes. We can carry out independent testing and report the results.
