CONSTRUCTION &
DIVERSIFIED SERVICES
From pre-construction execution planning and constructability during front-end design and detailed engineering and implementation of safety and quality processes during construction and commissioning through to the development of procedures and manuals during handover, we have established ourselves as a world leader in construction services.
We offer advanced work packaging to improve productivity, quality management, contracts development and administration, procurement and material handling, HSE management, commissioning and start-up support. We do this using state-of-the-art tools for systems completions and turn over, supply construction, commissioning and start-up. These distinct offerings have established work processes, procedures and guidelines that enable us to provide consistent high performance construction execution across the globe in multiple markets.
The key to our long successful history in construction execution is flexibility. Not constrained by any company model, we consider each opportunity a stand-alone effort, which requires a unique approach to the construction of the project. We understand that every project faces a unique set of challenges and changes, and provide our customers with the confidence that we can adapt to a changing environment.
No project is too difficult for our seasoned construction managers. Through years of experience on all types of projects they know how to ask the right questions, identify potential risks and mobilize quickly, deploying the right team with the right plan to execute the work. In addition, through many years of experience executing work on six continents we have established relationships with subcontractors, some of them going back for decades. Using a stringent pre-qualification process and ongoing monitoring, we not only select the best subcontractors for your project, but also work closely with them for safe, successful execution.
