Engineering, Procurement & Construction Management (EPCM)

The design, build, and management of specialized facilities, especially in the areas of process and chemical plants, utilities, and government organizations, is complex to say the least. Success requires specialized programs – that’s where EPCM comes in.

Engineering Design - Engineering design services can be engaged on a standalone basis or bundled to suit customer requirements and provide a cost-effective project solution. The multidisciplinary design teams deliver concept studies through to detailed design and implementation. The resources involving civil, mechanical, process, electrical, and fire protection engineers focus on delivering safe, performance-driven, and cost-effective solutions within process plant industries. The professional engineers needs expertise in a wide range of areas and applications such as:

• Pre-investment studies and site master plans
• Analysis of Complex Process and Utility Systems - Process flow charts, mass balance, heat balance, utility demand, as well as regulatory and operational requirements for liquids, solids, and powders
• Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (PFMEA)
• Plant Utilities - Compressed air, water, steam, refrigeration, fuel oil and gas, and specialized industrial gases
• Production Part Approval Process (PPAP)
• Packaging and Materials Handling Solutions - Design and management of bottles, cans, form fill and seal, flow wrap, blister packs, and cartons, through to secondary packaging and palletization. Projects often involve detailed analysis of conveyors and line accumulation
• Control Plans, Error Proofing, and Statistical Process Control
• Electrical and Control Solution - To cover high voltage and love applications along with complex control systems to achieve the required levels of packaging and process automation. The system designs include solutions from all major PLC manufacturers
• Construction Management - The multidisciplinary building design team provides architectural services, civil and structural engineering. The team, along with Quantity Surveyors, provides a complete construction service from warehouse and production facilities through to laboratory and clean room facilities

Procurement - EPCM consultants provides procurement of building materials and supplies along with proven strategies that maximize value. They do this by optimizing materials and processes, negotiating to minimize costs, maximizing tax benefits, and helping to maintain productivity and efficiency.

Construction - For all facets of manufacturing construction, from small to mid-sized specialized systems facilities, there has to be industry insight and experience needed to meet stringent quality and safety requirements. The process includes the following:

• In-house, turnkey services for responsiveness and reliability
• Proven, long-term experience to ensure deadlines and budgets are met
• Multidisciplinary capabilities in design and engineering, procurement, quality assurance, compliance, construction management, and more for added peace of mind
• Unmatched service, backed by a company known for superior quality work

Construction Management - From individual task management and field office support to third-party oversight and comprehensive project management, the multidisciplinary experience in design and engineering, procurement, construction, inspection, maintenance, and repair gives unique insight into construction management to help build specialized facilities. Construction Management services include the following:

• Project and contracts management
• Quality assurance support
• Inspections, examinations, and tests
• Certified welding consultation and procedure development
• Project and contracts control
• Procedure development
• Third-party oversight
• System validation
