Project implementation using the EPCM model lightens the industrial investor’s work load<\/h1>\n

Project execution according to the EPCM model is best suited to situations where the builder of an industrial facility has a clear vision of what needs to be done and at what price. The only thing missing is the time needed for the implementation, the requisite competence and the expert organisation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the EPCM contractor, Sweco leads the project and the customer can focus on its core area of expertise. The EPCM (Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management)\u00a0service solution is always customised on a case-by-case basis with the intention of ensuring that the process is as light as possible for the customer.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the trust is there, the customer isn\u2019t needed for running the project in practice. It\u2019s enough that a person is involved who can place orders or, in other words, establish commercial relationships with the selected constructors, equipment suppliers and service providers,\u201d says Leading Specialist at Sweco\u00a0Samuli\u00a0Puhakka<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Experience expedites project management<\/h2>\n

The needs of the customer are determined at the beginning of an EPCM project. If the big picture is not yet entirely clear, a preliminary planning project can help to breakdown the actual costs and other aspects related to the investment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recommend lighter project arrangements when more understanding of the work at hand is required,\u201d\u00a0Puhakka\u00a0says. \u201cIt benefits everyone to ensure that the project budget covers everything all the way to the finish line.\u201d<\/p>\n

An industrial investment is a time-consuming process that involves many phases. The experience of the EPCM contractor helps with efficient use of time, which ensures that the project proceeds smoothly, there is no unnecessary work and errors are minimised.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe handle industrial projects of varying sizes on a constant basis, which expedites the coordination process,\u201d\u00a0Puhakka\u00a0says. \u201cA sufficiently broad consultant organisation provides in-depth expertise in a variety of areas, guaranteeing a highly professional end result.\u201d<\/p>\n

EPCM is flexible in surprising situations<\/h2>\n

As an EPCM contractor, Sweco bears overall responsibility for the project from the planning and procurement phases to worksite monitoring, construction management and commissioning.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the project coordinator, we are also often responsible for environmental and governmental matters, risk management, and ensuring cost, schedule and quality targets,\u201d Sweco\u2019s industrial expert\u00a0Jarkko\u00a0Heikura<\/strong>\u00a0says.<\/p>\n

Transparent and smooth information flow form one of the cornerstones of an EPCM project. \u201cWhen a single operator takes responsibility, it\u2019s possible to react to unexpected situations without any delay at all,\u201d\u00a0Heikura\u00a0says. At the same time, it is possible for the customer to change the plans or overlap construction phases flexibly over the course of the project.<\/p>\n

Technical and financial security for extensive industrial investments<\/h2>\n

In the context of facility investments costing hundreds of millions of euros, it is important for the factory or production line to be operational on schedule without any delays. The EPCM method reduces risks particularly in large and technically challenging industrial projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t make decisions for the customer, but we support the decision-making process by providing unbiased information about technological options and their cost impacts, for example,\u201d says\u00a0Mika\u00a0Kierikka<\/strong>, Sweco\u2019s circular economy expert. \u201cSticking to the project schedule and budget is not a problem when the project management has a sufficiently comprehensive view of the efforts \u2013 including the customer\u2019s goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kierikka\u00a0emphasises that the purpose of an EPCM consultant is always to look after the interests of the customer. \u201cWe make sure that the customer knows how the project is progressing at all times, with regard to both implementation and expenditures.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
