  • Provide a hands-on approach by upper management
  • Involve the entire team that will manage/execute the work 
  • Use technology and software to provide efficient and thorough estimating

STEP 4 Work Packaging

  • Break down any project into systematic packages
  • Utilize systems through the entire project lifecycle, Estimate -> Planning -> Fabrication -> Installation -> Closeout
    • Process is designed to remove variability from the workforce and reduce waste on the project
    • Keeps leadership engaged with the team and drives productivity
  • Use technology to build, install, and track work packages
  • Provide insight to allow for better planning of resources needed to execute the project

STEP 5 On Demand Progress Updates

  • Track the progress in our fabrication shop in real-time
  • Work packaging structure allows tracking systems to be tailored custom to any project and task
    • We track meaningful tasks that are critical to completion (not just tracking pipe)
  • Flexible systems allow for internal, and customer reporting needs to be met
  • Engage various layers of resources in the tracking process
  • Integrate technology that allows for daily progress updates and verification
  • Track various other components that are required by the project (safety data, manpower data, QC data etc.)
  • Tap into a wide array of software capabilities

STEP 6 Execution

  • Continuously introduce new technology into the workforce to allow for increased leadership and craft engagement and productivity improvement
  • Ensure that the field team gets what it needs when it needs it with the support of the entire organization

STEP 7 Project Closeout

  • Never leave a site “Until every inch of the project is verified to completion”
  • Support the process with various resources with different skill sets and specialties
  • Provide a collaborative approach to turnovers
  • We take a “start from the end approach” with our commissioning and startup process. From the beginning of the project, we want to know what systems they need first to start up a facility.
