Oil and Gas

Oil & Gas projects - With the everchanging requirement in seeking better process designs to optimize environmental impacts in the global community of “Oil & Gas” exploration, refining & production the need for clean fuel projects became an important business driver for our clients.

Clean fuels have become a key driver to energy/ refining & supply companies to develop processes which will eventually be a substitute of the conventional diesel and gasoline.

Since then the wording Clean Fuel has been adopted by refiners to designate the new diesel and gasoline developed to improve efficiency and reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and solid parts. The key objective becoming environmental driven projects.

Being passionate about providing support to our clients in the industry we have learned to adapt to our clients’ needs by providing project control, procurement & project management support.

Our support has been from project definition of the “Oil & Gas” project to the final execution and start-up by utilizing up to date project control methodologies and control principles.

This support would be through the concept, Feed & execution stages, involved also in, project procurement, construction & Hook up & Commissioning activities to financial close.

The sector`s and experience where we can provide our services range from Offshore platforms to Onshore Refineries. Taking into consideration both the lean methodology in execution of projects but supporting our clients in the objective of driving towards a clean fuel production methodology.

With the key objective to provide a full financial overview, project management service to our clients to enable them to have a fully integrated and managed project.

Pharmaceutical & Life Sciences

Pharmaceutical projects - with the global requirement in medicine in both animal & human health the Pharmaceutical sector is an environment with fast pace projects, and very stringent schedule & budget requirements.  

The most important aspect any pharmaceutical project is understanding the current demand and supply of medicines/ vaccines and being able to adapt the process, structure to meet these requirements.

As any project there will be an identified process owner, quality assurance group, or process excellence team based on the business or regulation needs to provide support to ensure that the stringent compliance & regulatory process is followed.

Prior to the initiation of this project this will require a project proposal. The project will be evaluated by the process excellence team with an evaluation-rating matrix and will ultimately be selected by upper management. This phase is applicable to all projects.

Like any project, a team needs to be developed by a project manager. In this phase, the project definition will be established by the project manager, project engineer, process owner, quality assurance, and procurement.

The initial risk identification (high, medium, low) will occur during this phase. The project plan will be developed by the project manager, and it will be approved by the project team members.

In this phase, the project should have an established charter, schedule, user requirement specification, and budget estimate. Impact assessments should be commenced to determine whether the project is GMP or non-GMP.

The development of the key equipment, control system, software, process or facility will be verified by the process engineer, process owner, and quality assurance. Installation and operation verification will be performed by the process engineer and quality assurance.

Our experienced project managers can support the process owner to establish procedures and develop protocols to update and/or create standard operational procedure and preventive maintenance task and include any critical instrumentation to the modification or replacement process.

Procedures such as factory acceptance tests (FAT), site acceptance tests (SAT), engineering studies, risk assessment reviews, qualification/validation protocols, and SOP, preventative maintenance, and calibration programs will be used to ensure processes are monitored and validated for GMP standards.

Furthermore, if the IQ/OQ/PQ and process validation have been executed satisfactorily and approved. And of course, if the project has been implemented and closed we provide the support to the owner even at PQ stage if required through validation of documents.

With the above processes in pharmaceutical projects our services can be quite diverse. The sectors and stages from Concept through to BOD and eventually into IQ/OQ and then into the PQ phases.

We can provide the full life cycle support in project controls, project management & procurement. We are also able to provide C& Q expertise if this is required.

We provide these services to clients who are involved in the following projects: Pharmaceutical Refurbishment projects, maintenance or greenfield projects which include new vaccine lines, packaging facilities, cold stores & construction of laboratories.

Our drive is the implementation of portfolio cost reporting over multiple projects and locations through all phases of the projects. Focusing on benchmarking and historical data to support financial control of assets.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure projects take time - many projects such as restoration of railway lines, modifications of old & new buildings & also bridges takes a lot of time. The planning and execution of these projects are a careful thought through process. Starting at the need identified, the benefits to implementation and eventually also the cost versus value to the client.

As time passes, it sure is easy to start thinking of more additional add-ons, or modifications. The problem with these distractions is that not only can they kill your budget and timeline, they can change the original intentions you had for the specific infrastructure project you wished to deliver. When you’re planning a project build, it’s important that you really sit down and think about what it is you want.

A common mistake that we have gained valuable lessons from is to understand what the client requires it is important to set-up a detailed plan, structure and execution methodology prior to starting the project.

Change in all projects tend to be inevitable but how to mitigate the change in such a way that it benefits our clients is where we focus on strategically assessing the need, developing the requirement so that the client gets a purpose for use project which is within the anticipated budget and value expectations but also delivered on time.

As a company we work with you the client from inception – the idea of the infrastructure project, to the planning and costing by defining the project requirements. With a key objective achieving a cost and schedule driven execution.

Through the project life cycle as a team we can bring our multiple project experience in these projects and have the right expertise injected into the right phase of the projects. This will give our clients a better utilization of the skills we can provide.

This injection of expertise can be through the entire project or in stages of the project. By strategic planning of activities and deliverables through concept to design and eventually into execution of projects we can advise and support our clients when the time is right

Part of that service is we provide the financial, project management & procurement support for our clients in sectors such as automobile, railway & road projects. Providing our clients, the ability to track performance and funding of projects up to project close out.
