Erection Planning
How do you add value and competitive advantage to your construction site?
Larger, riskier and more complex projects and construction sites strive to create value. The ramp up and improvement of production, quality, safety and efficiency in the permanently changing global landscape is a challenge. Under these conditions, in time and on budget project delivery is essential to value capture.
Thus, companies in engineering and construction need to incorporate fast moving advancements into their operations in order to deliver top notch products and services at higher speeds, better quality and decreased costs. That said, thorough planning reduces the likelihood of failures in the future.
Today’s conditions make value creation increasingly challenging
Especially in in today’s VUCA conditions by means of increased challenges associated to large scale construction projects as a result of demographic shifts, industrialization of emerging economies, increased numbers of market participants and derived increased demands for raw materials and energy a project’s planning function becomes increasingly important.

Plan to deliver in time, on budget and at quality requirements.
The quality of our professionals is the cornerstone of our ability to assist in planning processes of large scale construction projects. Our capabilities and solutions derive from the expertise and experience of our professionals. That said, our specialist force comprises engineers, business managers, construction managers, HSE experts, supervisors, foremans along with crane and transport operators.
Our colleagues strive to apply their talents to complex, important planning challenges and deliver practical results that entail our entire company experience.
Through the incorporation of our Large Scale Project Approach (LLSPA) our contribution in planning enables long term value creation.

Construction Methods Planning
Plant construction erection planning prior to kick off of physical erection of site to pave the way for long term value creation.
In this discipline we assess relevant construction methods and their impacts on site engineering, context, time, cost and finance. Especially with respect to large capital investments and numerous applied construction methodologies every activity must be efficient while effective.

Insights & Challenges
Uprighting an HRSG module
Which cranes will be capable of lifting the planned preassembled components, rather a telescopic crane or a lattice boom crane?
Is it commercially and technically preferable that the crane is capable of driving with hoisted loads?
How will a 250 tons, 30 m long module be uprighted? How many cranes are needed?
Where shall the lugs be positioned in prefabrication?
Will the subsurface piling resist the pressures of the planned cranes?
