Never has the pressure to improve productivity and efficiency been more than it is today. Coupled with reduced resources and shortened timelines this makes for a challenging environment.

In an environment such as this efficient and effective project management becomes vital. The reality however is that it’s not always feasible or possible for a company to provide the kind of focus and time required to deliver a project effectively, or to find the right expertise at the right stage of a project. The result is often cost overruns, poor conception, planning, procurement and execution.

Our project management services are designed to help you avoid these pitfalls and deliver projects on time, within budget and in line with strategic and business objectives.

Our project management expertise comes from years of practical on the job experience on all phases of projects.

If you’re looking to maximise long-term productivity and profitability then our services can play a vital part in helping you achieve this.

We provide a full range of project delivery options that can be customised to your specific needs. We can work with you through all the phases of your projects, from conceptual studies, through feasibility to design, construction and commissioning.

Study Management

The early stages of a project are often critical in steering a project in the right direction. We can help you with:

• Maximising the inherent value of the asset and optimising the opportunity.
• Creating/enhancing the business case.
• Reducing technical risk by adding technical definition.
• Estimating the probable costs and utilising benchmarking and first principles.
• Helping secure the necessary approvals and preparing for project execution.

Subsequently you’ll find that it’s much easier to:

• Raise additional finance.
• Progress and fast track projects to production in the most cost effective manner.

We also aim to maximise the value in the investment prior to project approval through optimisation of the technical scope, capital cost, schedule, contracting and execution plans with appropriate front-end engineering.

To ensure that the study phase decision-making process is robust, we draw on:

• Specialist engineers to manage the efficiency and technical integrity of the design.
• Our access to additional expert resources from partner organisations.
• Practises such as value engineering, constructability reviews and risk management.
• Experienced personnel with a practical knowledge to prepare sound contracting and project execution strategies.
• Cost and schedule benchmarking to enable clients to make strategic decisions with accurate and reliable data.

During the study phase we are focused on ensuring the project is taken into execution. This philosophy ensures that we are diligent in engineering the most practical and economic options to deliver both the study and project.

Project Implementation

Throughout project execution, we provide you with comprehensive support in the areas of detailed engineering and drafting, project services, HSEQ and construction management. Our experience and flexibility enables us to:

• Establish projects rapidly and align our team with your personnel, contractors and other key stakeholders.
• Develop appropriate health, safety and environmental strategies tailored to suit the project requirements.
• Maintain comprehensive project schedules and timely progress reporting structures.
• Implement effective processes for change and risk management.
• Effectively integrate engineering with our procurement, construction and project controls capabilities.
• Ensure quality delivery through robust contract administration and technical quality assurance.
