Building for Day-One Operations: The Missing Link in New Power Generation Projects

Drawing on TRM’s experience across capital-intensive industries, this webcast will explore why completing engineering and construction doesn’t necessarily mean a new-generation asset is ready to perform. As new capacity is brought online to meet growing demand for digital infrastructure and consumer requirements, the capabilities required for reliable, efficient operations are often deferred until late commissioning—or after startup.

The discussion will examine how an operational-readiness approach can establish asset data, maintenance and reliability strategies, critical-spares plans, EAM/CMMS workflows, workforce readiness, and IT/OT/security alignment before the asset enters service. Attendees will gain practical insight into closing the gap between project handover and stable operations—reducing startup risk, ensuring compliance, and supporting long-term asset performance.

While focused on new generation projects, these practices also apply to complex construction and expansion programs across renewable energy, grid infrastructure, industrial facilities, manufacturing, water and wastewater, and data-center-supporting infrastructure. The core principle is simple: assets deliver more value when the people, processes, systems, and information required to operate them are built into the project from the start.
