M/C (Mechanical Completion)

Posted on 7th December 2015 by ThePD (The Project Definition)

A Mechanical Completion (M/C) is the final phase of construction activities to verify the
completeness of the constructed plant that each installed component conforms to or is
fabricated, installed, and tested in accordance with the project specifications and
procedures after all mechanical works including pre-commissioning (PC) activities are
completed. A M/C is one of the project key milestones when the M/C is achieved, owner
(client) releases the Mechanical Completion Certificate (MCC), and the plant is handed
over for the commissioning and operation activities from the construction (normally EPC
Contractor) to the plant operation group (normally owner organisation). Practically,
some minor works can be transferred and performed during commissioning and
operation which are not related safety and performance. Reference guideline is API 700
Plant Completion Checklist. (Refer to the Provisional Acceptance (PAC), Ready for Start-up
(RFSU), Care, Custody and Control (CCC))
