Site Specific Instructions (SSIs) are technical documents requested by Water Utility companies to provide detailed guidance on the processes and assets located within either clean water or dirty water treatment site developments. These documents include an inventory of installed assets, standard operational procedures, and troubleshooting steps for resolving common issues. Once completed, the SSI serves as an essential reference for Water utility site operators - offering a clear introduction to site processes and highlighting typical challenges that may arise.
At COGNICA, our experienced Technical Authoring Team collaborates with tier 1 contractor site teams to develop SSIs for each area undergoing new development. Our approach is designed to support the site teams without placing unnecessary strain on their resources, enabling them to remain focused on their core day-to-day responsibilities. Using existing project documentation and adhering to the Water Utility’s specific templates, our team authors accurate and user-friendly guidance SSI documents, tailored to each site.
In addition, COGNICA produce graphical representations of key diagrams, such as Process and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), to visually convey how individual assets function within the overall process. These visuals, including examples like the above, are vital in helping site operatives understand system interactions and assist with their operational knowledge.
COGNICA’s Technical Authoring Team also produce Site Operating Manuals (SOMs), Completion Reports (CRs), and collate Health & Safety files (H&S) for Water Utility clients, in addition to a wide range of document types across the broader Construction sector. With over 27 years of industry experience, we have the expertise to consistently meet client requirements and deliver high-quality, compliant documentation tailored to each project’s needs.
