02
Project management
Project management under EPCM, owner's engineering or value engineering: schedule, costs, technical evaluation of supplier bids and construction monitoring through start-up.
- EPCM
- Owner's engineering
- Value engineering
03
Consulting
Investment planning, assessment of existing plants and equipment, and the search for alternative technologies, so that the decision is made before the project is contracted.

02How we work
A single 3D model, and the construction drawings come from it
Process, piping, structural, civil, electrical and utilities disciplines work in the same model. What reaches the site comes out of it already coordinated.

Type3D model
-
01
Single 3D model with all disciplines
The model coordinates the interfaces between disciplines and with equipment suppliers, before a clash reaches the field.
-
02
2D deliverables generated from the model
Plan drawings, isometric drawings, bills of materials, and fabrication and erection drawings.
-
03
Laser scanning of existing plants
The point cloud gives the project the actual geometry of what was built, and tie-ins are planned to fit within the shutdown window.
-
04
Revision control
Every document has a controlled number, revision and history, from first issue to as-built, so that the client, the suppliers and the site work from the same version.
03Projects
