FAT, SAT and Site Activities
SAT, installation and commissioning support
Continuity from factory to field: installation verified, site tests witnessed, punch lists closed and handover documents complete.
01What the service involves
QUALITAS TR supports buyers during installation and start-up of equipment at sites in Turkey. We inspect installation (foundations and anchoring, alignment, piping and cabling connections, safety guarding), witness site acceptance tests and performance runs, track punch list items from FAT and site, and review handover documentation such as as-built drawings, test records, manuals and spare parts lists.
For foreign suppliers installing equipment in Turkey, we can also act as the local technical representative coordinating with the Turkish site team.
02Why buyers need it
Problems at site are expensive and visible to end users. A structured SAT and punch list process prevents disputed acceptance and incomplete handover.
Continuity with the FAT inspector reduces repeated testing and confusion about open items.
03Typical applications
- Machinery installation in Turkish plants
- Process equipment commissioning
- Electrical and control system start-up
- Energy and utility installations
- Imported equipment requiring a local representative
- Plant relocations
