The Challenge
As a major commercial headquarters with extensive MEP infrastructure, 21 Moorfields required robust commissioning coordination, system validation and close-out management across multiple floors and specialist environments.
Following a change in delivery circumstances, ENVIRO was appointed by Phoenix Mechanical Electrical to support the close-out of mechanical installation and commissioning activities, helping to establish system status, drive remedial works and support a smoother handover process.
Enviro Scope
of Work
ENVIRO was contracted to provide MEP commissioning management and validation services for the project close-out phase.
The scope included managing commissioning activity across 24/7 shift patterns, supporting remedial water treatment, maintaining continued water management through to floor close-out, driving HVAC balancing teams to completion and ensuring commissioning documentation was reviewed, approved and signed off.
Our Approach
ENVIRO worked closely with Phoenix Mechanical Electrical and the wider project team to regain control of commissioning close-out activity.
The team focused on validating the current condition of mechanical systems, coordinating outstanding commissioning actions, supporting remedial works, managing progress across active work areas and maintaining clear documentation control through to handover.
