Contractual Involvement with EPC
Below is a detailed overview of the services we provide as part of our contractual involvement with EPC contractors:
Engineering Management Services
Our engineering management services focus on overseeing and guiding the technical aspects of a project to ensure that it aligns with the project’s objectives, schedule, and quality standards. Our services include:
- Design Coordination: We act as the primary liaison between the EPC contractor and the design teams, ensuring that all technical specifications are clearly communicated and adhered to throughout the project.
- Technical Oversight: Our team provides expert oversight of engineering activities to ensure compliance with industry standards and project-specific requirements, while also addressing potential challenges before they escalate.
- Review and Approval: We oversee the review and approval of engineering drawings, specifications, and design documents, ensuring that they meet project goals and regulatory requirements.
- Change Control: Managing and approving any engineering changes or revisions during the project lifecycle to maintain project integrity and avoid delays or cost overruns.
