Panel: Comparing Clean Handover and Integration Models in LNG Commissioning and Start-Up
With increasing variability in LNG export development contracts, optimizing the interface between owner and EPC teams during commissioning and start-up is more critical than ever. Two principal models have emerged for this phase: the traditional “clean handover” and the “true integration” model. This session will examine both models, exploring their respective strengths and challenges in supporting project-specific needs, knowledge transfer, and smooth transitions to full operation.
Topics include:
- Understanding the operational differences between the clean handover and true integration models during commissioning and start-up.
- The potential for hybrid approaches and their benefits
- How project-specific challenges, including unique site characteristics and contractual variability, influence the choice and adaptation of handover models
- Benefits and challenges of owner/operator staff shadowing versus embedding within EPC teams for daily coordination, troubleshooting, and readiness
- Exploring the impact of each approach on schedule, knowledge transfer, safety, and operational reliability as LNG facilities transition from construction to live operation
