Mining and Heavy Industry Commissioning Software
Standardize commissioning, track readiness by equipment and system, manage punch items, and build complete turnover records for mining and heavy industry projects
Trusted for Complex Commissioning Projects Around the World
Keep Mining and Heavy Industry Projects Moving Toward Startup
Mining and heavy industry commissioning involves thousands of equipment tags, multiple contractors, interdependent process systems, demanding safety requirements, and complex startup sequences. Bluerithm brings this work into one connected platform so teams can see what has been completed, what is blocking the next phase, and what must happen before systems are ready for dry commissioning, wet commissioning, startup, and ramp-up.
Track System Readiness
See completions and commissioning status across equipment, systems, process areas, disciplines, contractors, project phases, and turnover packages.
Standardize Field Execution
Give project teams consistent digital ITRs, inspection checklists, test procedures, completion certificates, and approval workflows.
Resolve Punch Items Faster
Connect deficiencies directly to equipment, systems, responsible parties, drawings, tests, photos, and supporting documentation.
Improve Turnover
Maintain organized commissioning records throughout the project instead of assembling thousands of pages during closeout.
One Platform for Mining and Heavy Industry Commissioning
Bluerithm gives project teams the tools to manage the entire completions and commissioning process—from project setup and equipment tracking through construction verification, mechanical completion, pre-commissioning, dry and wet commissioning, startup, performance testing, ramp-up, punch resolution, reporting, and final turnover.
Manage Equipment
Create structured equipment registers and connect each tag to its inspections, ITRs, tests, punch items, documents, photos, responsibilities, and current status.
Digitize ITRs and Test Procedures
Complete construction inspections, mechanical completion checks, pre-commissioning activities, startup records, functional tests, and performance tests from phones, tablets, or computers.
Track Punch Items
Capture, categorize, assign, update, verify, and close punch items while maintaining a complete history of every item.
Monitor Readiness
Use dashboards to track tag completion, testing progress, open punch items, overdue work, milestones, and system readiness.
Generate Reports
Build progress, testing, punch, system-completion, startup, and final commissioning reports directly from current project data.
Work Anywhere
Give field teams access to their commissioning work on any device, including at remote mine sites and facilities where internet connectivity may be limited.
Configure Bluerithm Around Your Commissioning Process
No two mining or heavy industry projects have exactly the same equipment, process configuration, systemization strategy, testing requirements, startup sequence, or turnover standards. Bluerithm lets you configure project structures, equipment hierarchies, workflows, forms, responsibilities, dashboards, and reports around the way each project operates.
Flexible Project Structure
Organize commissioning information by site, mine, facility, process area, plant, unit, system, subsystem, equipment type, discipline, contractor, phase, or turnover package.
Custom Workflows
Create workflows for construction verification, mechanical completion, pre-commissioning, dry commissioning, wet commissioning, energization, startup, performance testing, ramp-up, punch resolution, approvals, and handover.
Reusable Templates
Standardize project structures, equipment types, ITRs, test procedures, workflows, dashboards, and reports across facilities and capital programs.
Built to Scale
Use Bluerithm for an individual plant expansion or a global portfolio involving thousands of equipment tags, users, tests, punch items, and commissioning records.
Turn Your Commissioning Standards Into Repeatable Templates
Build it once. Improve it over time. Use it again.
Create reusable templates for:

Capture and Resolve Punch Items Faster
Manage deficiencies, incomplete work, failed tests, damaged equipment, missing documentation, and retesting requirements from identification through resolution.
Field users can create punch items directly from phones or tablets and include photos, descriptions, categories, priorities, assignments, due dates, comments, and supporting documentation.

Connect Punch Items and Equipment to Project Drawings
Use PDF markups and pins to connect equipment, punch items, commissioning work, and project information directly to plot plans, P&IDs, single-line diagrams, schematics, equipment layouts, process flow diagrams, and construction documents.
Teams can quickly identify where equipment or a punch item is located while keeping that information connected to the complete commissioning record.
