Linking Handover Gates and Types of Handover Certificates

About Handover Gates

Handover gates are mandatory milestones based on Systems and Subsystems for Greenfield projects and on Primary and Secondary Handovers for Brownfield projects. Handover gates mark the achievement of a specific phase of work.

Handovers and ITRs

Handovers and ITRs/Certificates are linked by handover gates. For example, a Pre-Commissioning ITR for a sub system can be signed, and the Pre-Commissioning activity related to this ITR be performed only when all the Construction related ITR part of that subsystem is signed, all A type punch lists are cleared, all MOC that could have an impact on Construction are answered and implemented, and the Handover Certificate between Construction and Pre-Commissioning for that subsystem is signed.
