Commissioning, Verification and Validation
Proving the system works as intended
Installing new equipment is only part of the job. The heating, cooling or ventilation system also needs to operate as intended within the building. We support commissioning, performance testing and optimisation across mechanical and HVAC projects, from plant operation and water flow to airflow and controls.
From installation to tested performance
Depending on the project, we can provide:
- Plant start-up and commissioning support
- Water-flow testing and system balancing
- Airflow measurement and adjustment
- Checks of controls and equipment operation
- Investigation and correction of performance issues
- System optimisation following commissioning
- Coordination of independent specialist verification
- Reports and records for project handover
What happens after testing?
We record the results, identify anything that does not meet the agreed requirements and explain what needs to happen next. Where remedial works are needed, we can investigate the cause, carry out or coordinate the changes and support retesting.

FAQs
Here you can find answer to our most-asked questions
Can you investigate a system that has failed commissioning or verification?
Yes. We can review the results, investigate the plant and connected services, and develop a scope to address the issues found.
Do you carry out theatre ventilation verification in-house?
Formal specialist verification is carried out through trusted independent partners. ECS coordinates that work and delivers the associated engineering works within the agreed scope.
Can you test water and airflow as part of a project?
Yes. We can include water-flow and airflow testing, adjustment and commissioning as part of the project scope.
Can you help with an existing system that has no reliable design information?
Yes. We can survey the installation and establish how it currently operates. The information and test results available will determine what can be confirmed and whether further design input is needed.
