Enable Top Quartile Performance in Capital Projects
Optimize Projects is our transformational approach to enabling top quartile performance in capital projects by digitally transforming your project through modern project management strategies, innovative engineering practices and digital technologies. Our project execution approach delivers solutions that eliminate costs, reduces complexity, and accommodates change to improve capital efficiency and deliver more reliable project schedules.
Levers for Transforming Capital Projects
Eliminate Cost
Through innovative engineering practices and design, you can wipe up to 10% of project costs off the ledger.
Reducing Complexity
Standardize and maintain automation project specifications to meet deadlines.
Accommodating Change
Project changes are inevitable. With the right strategy, designed early, you can absorb changes without impacting the schedule.
Expert Partnering
Early collaboration not only delivers optimized projects, but will better ensure attaining long-term operational objectives.
The Path for Improved Project Execution Starts with Early Collaboration
By collaborating early during engineering and design studies, we help you define your automation and project strategy goals laying the foundation for a successful project startup and operational excellence throughout your plant’s lifecycle. Here are some realized benefits:
- 50-60% reduction in hardware design steps
- 80% elimination of hardware/software FAT hours
- 90% elimination of system hardware and loop drawings
- 30-40% reduction in engineering hours
- 15-25% shorter instrumentation and control project schedule
- 30-40% lower total installed costs
Transform Your Capital Projects with Strategic Automation
Automation is the smallest investment of a project but it brings a significant impact to ensuring your project is on-time, and on-budget. Automation by nature of being in every pipe, touching every piece of process equipment, integrating all pieces to work as a process plant can play a vital impact on the economics of the project. It’s also the last piece in the puzzle of building these large facilities so it can have a big impact on schedule.
