UKEN© Completions and Commissioning System (CCMS)

CCMS facilitates the complete and accurate transition between all phases of a project and its methodology can be applied to any large project. CCMS is implemented across projects of all disciplines and has been designed to enable management to define the project activities to be tracked, monitored and reported throughout the different stages of a project.

CCMS is used to track and report on many different levels within a project. CCMS is typically used for managing and tracking construction, QAQC, testing and commissioning by using Work Packages, Exception Item Lists (punchlists), Technical Queries, Cable Pull Slips, Detailed and Summary progress reports, etc.
