We ensure excellence in the EPC business
Driven by cost pressure, international competition and increasing risks, stability and efficiency have been the main challenges facing plant engineering and construction for decades. Projects are often calculated too tightly from the outset, and the necessary margin can only be realized once service operations start. If projects go wrong, the effects are huge.
The “green shift” offers entirely new perspectives to the industry. Engineering contractors now face growth opportunities and pressure to innovate, playing a key role in the decarbonization of the industry.

How we implement sustainable change
Energy Sector
A reactive-power compensation system was offered with an innovative hydrogen cooling technology. The management of the experienced plant manufacturer for the energy industry wanted to ensure that the project did not spiral out of control despite its many new aspects. Thanks to an objective evaluation of the project status focusing on its technical implementation and project management, we were able to identify and address critical challenges early on. This prevented nonconformity costs and penalties in time.
Cement Industry
A cement plant was sold with a 24-month lead time and correspondingly high contractual penalties for delays. Owing to various factors, as the project progressed, the schedule ran to a total project lead time of 36 months. We radically reduced the lead time by introducing new planning structures, a new process flow sequence and detailed tracking of engineering deliverables. This put the schedule back on track at 24 months.
Metallurgy
A client regularly fell short of their own growth targets and was hesitant to take risks on EPC projects, owing to the past frequent failure of these kinds of projects – with negative consequences. We prepared an objective decision-making tool for their EPC business which revealed a clear prospect for development. We supported the strategy by identifying the necessary potential development to be able to manage and carry out high-risk projects. Implementation included sweeping organizational changes as well as improvement of the project execution capabilities of all functions within the EPC value chain.
