电厂建设不善以及设备和系统测试不足的净影响是，阻碍了计划内的维护计划，以适应启动后的改造和维修。另一方面，良好的施工实践将加强维护计划。为了确保良好的施工实践得到遵守，写下你可以接受的规范；审查设备提交文件；确保正确选择和使用正确的材料；设置工厂机械，使其安装水平、垂直和同心；选择、配置和安装电气套件和仪表/控制包，并将维护的可访问性作为首要考虑因素； 根据综合测试议程测试设备；制定备件周转计划；收集设备的测试文件和认证；参观高价值设备的制造商和供应商。

The net effect of poor plant construction and inadequate equipment and systems testing is to deter planned maintenance programs to accommodate retrofit and repairs after start up. On the other hand, good quality construction practices will enhance the maintenance program. To be sure good construction practices are followed, write specs you can live with; review equipment submittals; be sure the right materials are selected and used correctly; set the plant machinery so that it is installed level, plumb, and concentric; select, configure, and install the electrical suite and instrumentation/control package with accessibility for maintenance as a primary consideration; test the plant according to an integrated test agenda; create a spare parts turnover plan; collect test documentation and certification for equipment; and visit manufacturers and suppliers of high value equipment.
