Commissioning verification, gate by gate

Most projects verify at the end.

By then the cable has been cut. Six Gates puts six verification points inside the stage where the rework actually happens, and every one produces evidence a client can read without picking up the phone.

01

The problem

Level 2 is where the money is lost, and nobody looks inside it.

Commissioning Level 2 carries delivery, storage, placement, fixing, cable pulling, termination and pre-start checks in a single bucket. That one stage covers weeks of work by multiple trades.

Almost all installation rework originates inside it. Equipment fixed before its position was signed off. Cable pulled toward a location nobody confirmed, then cut short and scrapped, or run long and coiled. Conductors dragged against their bend radius. Trays pulled out of alignment under tension. Phases crossed and not found until energisation.

None of it is discovered at the end. All of it is paid for at the end.

02

The six gates

Each gate produces evidence that stands on its own.

A person who was never on site should be able to read the record and know what was installed, where, and that it was correct. No phone call, no explanation.

G1
Approval and procurement
Declaration of conformity, datasheet against specification, order evidence. The item is verified correct before it ships.
G2
Delivery and receipt
Three photographs minimum, one showing the serial plate legibly, all framed to include the room. Serial checked against the approval record.
G3
Placement before fixing Hold point
Nothing is drilled, fixed, anchored or pulled to until position, clearances, access and cable entry orientation are confirmed and signed by three parties. This is the gate the standard Level model does not contain, and it is where the waste stops.
G4
Installation and cable pulling
Route as pulled against route as designed, recorded as a variance rather than corrected silently. Bend radii, containment alignment, phase identification end to end.
G5
Termination and static testing
Insulation resistance, continuity, loop impedance, phase rotation, torque with witness marking. Every result carries the instrument serial and its calibration date, or it is not a result.
G6
Energisation readiness and handover
Complete evidence pack, assembled continuously rather than at the end. Formal transfer to your commissioning provider.

How it fits

This does not replace your commissioning process.

Your commissioning provider owns Level 4 and Level 5. That is their job, their liability and their expertise, and nothing here touches it.

What they depend on is arriving to a clean site with complete evidence. When they do not get it, their first days go on writing non-conformities instead of commissioning, and that report reaches the main contractor.

We are not doing your commissioning. We are making sure that when you arrive, there is nothing left to find but the systems themselves.

Six Gates exists to make Level 4 start on time.

How we work

Inside your environment. Nothing leaves it.

All work is performed in your cloud. Google Workspace, SharePoint, Procore, Dalux, Autodesk Construction Cloud, whatever you already run. Access is scoped to the project folders and nothing else, view and comment only, no download and no export. Deliverables are created inside your system and issued from there.

No copies are retained. When the engagement ends you revoke access, and there is nothing to delete.

Every document is produced in English and Italian as standard, not as a chargeable extra. Evidence photographs are framed on equipment and surroundings rather than people, and faces are blurred before filing where a person is unavoidably in frame.

One

Document set

The gate forms, registers and method guide, licensed for your project or your company. You run it yourself.

Two

Implementation

Adapted to your systems and naming, integrated with your platform, your site staff trained, run alongside you for the first two gates.

Three

Retainer

Evidence reviewed and returned when insufficient, records produced and revised, variance and NCR registers maintained, handover pack kept current. Monthly, remote.

05

Start here

Send me one finished handover pack. I will tell you what an auditor would flag.

One page, no charge, no obligation, returned within three days. Findings against all six gates, and the three that would actually cost you something, ranked.

Most packs come back missing the same thing: test results recorded without the instrument serial and calibration date. One of those and the whole pack reads as unverified.

In italiano

Six Gates produce e gestisce la documentazione di commissioning per impianti elettrici su progetti data center e industriali, in italiano e in inglese. Sei punti di verifica all'interno del Livello 2, dove nasce la maggior parte delle rilavorazioni.

Il terzo gate è un punto di fermo: nessun fissaggio e nessuna posa di cavo prima che posizione, distanze e ingresso cavi siano confermati e firmati.

Lavoriamo all'interno del vostro ambiente cloud, senza copie e senza esportazioni. Offriamo una revisione gratuita di una pagina su un pacchetto di consegna già chiuso. Scrivere a lamin@sixgates.it.
