SCOPERECOVERY / RETURN TO SERVICEICS / SR-07

The work

Recover failed and damaged building systems.

Clearing the fault indication does not prove that a system has recovered. The starting condition must be understood, repairs controlled and operation tested.

ICS can investigate the failure, help define the repairs and record the return-to-service tests.

Approach

From the reported fault to a tested conclusion.

The exact test plan depends on the system, its condition and the effect of taking equipment out of service. These are the usual stages for this type of work.

01

Establish the safe starting point

Record the failure, damage, current configuration and any temporary arrangements.

02

Control the recovery work

Define repair boundaries, dependencies and the tests needed before equipment is returned.

03

Prove return to service

Test the restored functions and record unresolved defects, restrictions and follow-on actions.

What ICS can investigate

Check the complete operating sequence.

  • +Extent and consequence of failure
  • +System configuration and dependencies
  • +Damage and repair boundaries
  • +Safe temporary arrangements
  • +Test requirements for return to service

Outputs

Test results, findings and required work.

The report format and level of detail are agreed before the work starts.

Useful before attendance

  • Incident timeline and present system state
  • Known damage and work already completed
  • Current temporary measures
  • Available drawings, backups and service records
