Erection Planning


How do you add value and competitive advantage to your construction site?

Levoxx_DBR_1

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.

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.
