Commissioning & start-up
Loop checks, functional tests, first fire, tuning and load testing on gas turbine, steam turbine and compressor packages. Includes power management and synchronising systems.
Independent commissioning & controls engineer
Commissioning, field service and troubleshooting on aeroderivative gas turbines, steam turbines and compressors. Woodward and GE control systems. Offshore and onshore, worldwide, since 1998.
Based in Amsterdam · Offshore certified · Short notice is normal
One engineer, no overhead. You get someone who has commissioned, tuned and repaired these packages since 1998, and who writes the report the same day.
Loop checks, functional tests, first fire, tuning and load testing on gas turbine, steam turbine and compressor packages. Includes power management and synchronising systems.
4k/8k and annual inspections, safety-critical instrumentation checks, sensor calibrations, functional checks and start-up support after engine exchange. Calibration sheets and service report included.
Control system faults, trips, failed starts, fuel changeover problems, instability. Datalog analysis, control health checks and a clear root cause instead of a parts list.
GAP application changes, NetCon to MicroNet migrations, MicroNet Plus and TMR commissioning, HMI/SCADA updates, protection and overspeed systems.
Gas and liquid fuel metering valves, dual-fuel calibrations, actuators, VG/VSV schedules, water wash and turning gear systems.
Together with an experienced DLE mapper we support mapping and emissions testing on LM2500 and LM6000 DLE packages.
Most of my experience is on Woodward controls, but I support GE Mark VI/VIe control applications just as well.

Most calls come in a week before mobilisation. If I am free, I am on site.
NOGEPA/OPITO, FOET, HUET, CA-EBS, MIST, VCA-VOL, offshore medical. Dutch and EU work authorisation, travel worldwide.
Daily reports, calibration sheets and a service report before I leave site. Compliance platforms such as ComplyWorks are not a problem.
No account manager, no scheduling desk. You talk to the engineer who does the job. Dutch, English, basic German.
Free calculators I use in the field. In the browser, no login.
Send the start date, estimated duration, scope, systems on site and location. You get an estimate the same day.
