Gas Detector Commissioning

Ensure Your System Is Built Right From the Start

Ensure Your System Works with Hawk Equipment’s Gas Detector Commissioning Services

Our fixed gas system commissioning process is built to deliver performance, compliance, and confidence. Every job is documented, aligned with current codes, and executed by experienced technicians.

Gas detector commissioning services include:

• Review sensor layout and placement
• Confirm system wiring and connections
• Initialize the system
• Verify and/or configure setpoints and alarm thresholds
• Perform live gas sensor commissioning and response testing
• Verify alarms, relays, and communications with building systems
• Provide full gas detector system commissioning report and checklist
  

We follow manufacturer guidance and industry best practices to confirm that each component operates correctly and communicates with the broader system. Whether you are installing a new system or upgrading an existing one, we make sure it works as intended before you go live.

Gas Detector Commissioning That Delivers

Even small errors during installation can lead to sensor drift, failed alarms, or total system failure. Gas detector commissioning ensures your system is performing as designed, protecting your investment and the people in your facility. It also confirms that you are inspection-ready, meeting requirements for permits, AHJ review, and manufacturer warranty.

Hawk brings the industry knowledge, technical expertise, and real world experience needed to deliver fast, accurate commissioning for fixed gas systems in any environment.

What you gain with Hawk:

• Early detection of installation or wiring errors
• Prevention of costly rework or downtime
• Accurate gas detection and alarm response verification
• Compliance with ASHRAE 15, IMC, EN 50545 1, and other safety standards
• Jobsite testing and documentation turned around quickly
• Flexible scheduling during construction or active operations
• Commissioning performed by technicians trained on all major OEM systems, including Honeywell, CETCI, RKI, and INTEC

We do not just check a box. We tune, test, and document your gas detection system so it is ready to protect people, meet compliance standards, and perform reliably from day one.

Documentation and Compliance Support

After every gas detection commissioning service, Hawk provides a complete commissioning report. This includes details on each sensor, system test results, communication checks, and site notes. The report supports code compliance, internal safety reviews, and future maintenance or calibration.

You get a clear record of what was tested, when it was completed, and how the system performed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in gas detector commissioning?

Our gas detector commissioning service includes reviewing sensor placement, confirming wiring and power, configuring setpoints and alarms, testing sensor responses with certified gas, verifying communication with building systems, and providing a complete commissioning report.

Is commissioning required for all fixed gas systems?

Most fixed gas system commissioning is required before the system can be approved for use. It may be mandated by local code, insurance providers, or manufacturer warranty terms.

How long does gas detection commissioning take?

Most commissioning can be completed in a single day. Larger facilities or complex fixed gas detection systems may require additional time depending on the number of sensors and integrations.

Can Hawk commission a system installed by another contractor?

Yes. We offer third-party fixed gas commissioning for systems installed by any contractor. We can also identify and document installation issues before your system goes live.

What happens if a sensor fails during commissioning?

If a sensor doesn’t meet performance requirements, we can replace or recalibrate it during the same visit. We document the issue and confirm your system is functioning correctly before completion.

Can gas sensor commissioning be done during construction?

Yes. We regularly perform gas sensor commissioning in both new construction and active facilities. Our team coordinates with other trades to keep your project on schedule.

How is gas detector commissioning different from calibration?

Gas detector commissioning is performed when a new system is started up to verify installation, configuration, and functionality. Gas detector calibration is an ongoing service to maintain sensor accuracy over time. Both are essential for system reliability and compliance.
