Pump station commissioning

Prove pumps, levels, sequences and alarms before handover on commercial GRAF | LIFT packages.

In short

Pump station commissioning verifies that pumps, level controls, alarms and panel sequences operate as designed, then hands the asset to operators with a report. GRAF | CARE provides this pathway for commercial pumping and water-system packages. GRAF | LIFT, PRESS, REUSE and CARE are being rolled out Australia-wide excluding Victoria. Project delivery, commissioning and field attendance are confirmed against location and scope.

How it works

Commissioning proves duty, standby and alarm behaviour, not only a single pump run.
Duty standby pump stationsTwo pumps share one wet well. The duty pump runs under normal level control while the standby pump is available for backup or alternating starts.Shared wet wellLevel sensors / floatsDuty pumpStandby pumpControl panelAlternation / backupAlarms + startsRedundancy is selected from risk, starts and project specification

What to do next

  1. 01

    Complete install prerequisites

    Power, pipework, wet well, panel connections and safe access ready.

  2. 02

    Book CARE commissioning

    Confirm location, scope and whether BMS or telemetry checks are included.

  3. 03

    Handover with report

    Operators receive demonstrated sequences and a commissioning report.

Checks that belong in commissioning

Pre-commissioning checks, pump rotation and run checks, float and level setup, instrument verification, sequence testing, alarm testing, control-panel checks, and BMS or telemetry checks where included in the package.

For duty/standby stations, prove alternation and backup starts. A single successful pump run is not enough.

Level setpoints and freeboard should match the design intent.

Operator handover and report

Handover covers how the station starts, stops, alarms and what to do on high level or pump fault. The commissioning report records what was tested and any outstanding items.

After handover, planned maintenance under GRAF | CARE keeps the station serviceable through its operating life.

Frequently asked questions

What is included in pump station commissioning?+
Typical scope includes pre-commissioning checks, pump rotation and run checks, float and level setup, instrument verification, sequence testing, alarm testing, control-panel checks, BMS or telemetry checks where included, operator handover and a commissioning report.
When should commissioning be planned?+
From design and package selection. Commissioning and lifecycle support should be considered at the start of a GRAF | LIFT project, not only after install.
Who performs GRAF | CARE commissioning?+
GRAF | CARE provides commercial commissioning support. Site attendance is confirmed against project location and scope under the Australia-wide excluding Victoria rollout.
What should be ready before attendance?+
Safe access, power available as specified, wet well and pipework installed as designed, control panel connected, and project drawings available for verification.
Does commissioning include operator training?+
Operator handover is part of the CARE commissioning pathway. Confirm the depth of training required with the project scope.
