Project Management

Project Structuring Developing an appropriate project structure is critical to allow a successful venture that satisfies and rewards the project participants. Putting the right project structure in place helps facilitate all phases effectively, from mitigating risk, to plant design and project execution, to solution delivery. Project structuring begins with defining the project scope and the customer’s commercial requirements, and then focuses on developing EPC relationships to build competitive solutions. Many times, this means engaging with one of our many EPC consortium partners to create the best solution for our customers. Our project structuring team matches project expertise with local talent and works with the most qualified EPC companies to ensure success for your project. Regional considerations are dynamic, and we work with EPCs that understand local codes and requirements, know local risk profiles, are familiar with local suppliers, and recognize keys to success. From equipment to turnkey projects, our flexible and proven models offer solutions that are specifically designed for your project.

project Management

Project Risk Management With decades of experience building power plant projects, we understand that project complexity drives risk. We integrate increasingly complex systems and components; as the project scope increases, so does the potential execution risks. GPO employs a robust risk management program utilizing our cross-product portfolio experience to anticipate, identify, and manage potential risks that could jeopardize project success. From logistics challenges to field rework to site permitting delays, our foresight, experience, and deep domain expertise can help mitigate or even avoid timely and costly project pitfalls. Our risk management program is built upon three pillars: risk prevention, including sharing lessons learned and best practices as part of the project structuring process; developing execution and operating rhythms, such as implementing integrated scheduling and reporting; and early dispute resolution, such as establishing a formalized management committee as part of our dispute process. Our global presence also means we have local resources ready to respond rapidly to emerging risks. Every project adds to our experience base, and we continually upgrade and refine our risk management program based on our broadening portfolio to better serve our customers and partners.

Plant Design and System Solution At GPO, we use innovation as a cornerstone to create new plant designs and integrate complex systems to deliver optimized performance, enhanced operability, and reduced costs for power, water, and industrial plants for customers around the world. With expertise in the full range of engineering disciplines, our project engineering teams employ innovative concepts and advanced technologies to develop holistic plant designs that enhance the total life cycle value of our customers’ projects. Power Island Detailed Design The Power Island Detail Design (PIDD) is a power plant engineering solution that supports the unique conditions and technical requirements for your particular project site. GPO’s PIDD uses advanced 3D modeling tools to create an optimized plant design specific to your project. The plant design will be optimized for performance, operation and maintenance, and reduced design interfaces, while improving constructability and allowing for improved field erection and coordination activities. GPO’s PIDD advanced modeling tool saves time and mitigates project risk.
