ENGINEERING, PROCUREMENT & CONSTRUCTION (EPC)
Engineering execution
We focus on developing safe, cost-effective and value-adding services to unlock value in line with your strategic drivers.
We execute projects wherever we are needed, for both brownfield and greenfield developments onshore, offshore and subsea, delivering:
- Detailed design
- Procurement services
- Construction management
- Project management
- Shutdown management
- Construction
- Commissioning and start-up support
We add value throughout the design process by challenging traditional approaches and exploring opportunities to implement cost saving strategies, to reduce total installed costs. This might mean thinking differently and specifying alternative materials or integrating engineering phases to improve schedules.
We take a construction-led approach to design; this means we design with ease of construction in mind, reducing problems and costs down the line. And the construction management guidelines that govern our construction and commissioning activities ensure that our engineering output is robust and conforms to our high standards.
We offer a range of contracting strategies, from small reimbursable man-hour projects and discrete detailed design and procurement contracts through to minor and major brownfield modification projects, servicing Project Management Contractor (PMC), Owners Engineer and general engineering services framework contracts. And we will integrate our project development and execution capabilities where schedules dictate.
We have the in-house capability to execute multiple scopes simultaneously. For a typical engineering framework agreement this could mean managing specialist studies, concept, FEED, detailed design, procurement services and smaller engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) scopes at the same time.
Our projects are supported by an engaged management team and experienced project managers and directors whose capabilities span the range of engineering disciplines.
We offer a balance of resources to support everything from specialist studies and small, modular and fast-track projects through to major developments requiring hundreds of engineers, large supply chains and integrated construction services.
High value engineering centres in India and the Far East enable us to drive more cost-competitive solutions without compromising quality. This well-established working practice is proven and based on the project and technical leadership being consistent, client-facing and fully accountable.
During each and every project we aim to work collaboratively and transparently with you to meet shared goals.
Procurement Services
With our international locations and the experience of our supply chain professionals, we can provide excellent sourcing, expediting and logistics support to our projects worldwide. Where necessary, we also have strong relationships with third party agencies who we can engage to enhance our service on a case by case basis.
Thanks to our flexible commercial delivery models we can procure directly in support of your projects, returning value through a gain share approach.
Local delivery has always been central to the way Stronarchs works, underpinned by robust business practices, and we evaluate our impact by calculating in-country value. We work with local suppliers and develop local capabilities wherever possible, and all goods and services are procured in an ethical and cost-effective manner.
The key success factors to our supply chain operations are:
An operational structure which permits prompt approvals and decision making.
Building and maintaining excellent relationships throughout the vendor community.
Early commitment to long lead items.
Strong engagement with vendors at the proposal stage.
Forward planning – looking and booking ahead.
Pro-active expediting (desk and field), including extensive use of the support office network, resident inspectors and frequency of management visibility and visits.
Our procurement benchmarking database where we maintain the latest best prices.
Highly experienced team.
Values driven behaviours in everything we do.
Construction Services
We deliver complex construction projects in challenging and diverse environments.The oil and gas installations we design and build have to survive extremely challenging and harsh environments, from desert heat to sub-zero arctic temperatures, and so require deep construction expertise, strong project management and a clear focus on safety, integrity and quality.
Our extensive experience (over 7 years), operational excellence and strong capabilities mean that we can deliver complex construction projects, whether these developments are greenfield or brownfield, onshore or offshore, upstream or downstream.
As a responsible company, we employ local people, work with local suppliers and where there is a need, develop local capabilities. We measure the total number of jobs created by our projects, as well as the ratio between expatriate and local workers.
