12 Where We Started, April 2012 Where We Are Today, April

13 Lessons Learned: Project Phase Overlap Design Construction Operation Commissioning 13

14 Start-up, Testing, and Commissioning The most common focus when planning WTE projects is either design, construction, or O&M. Start-up, testing, and commissioning are almost afterthoughts and are easily lost until it s time to have the plant operational. In order to accomplish these activities they need to be identified and realistically integrated into the project schedule along with the resources necessary to accomplish them. 14
