Constraints Across 25+ Contractors on a Mega-Project

A multi-partner joint venture on an Oil and Gas mega-project worked with 25+ contractors to complete a multi-year construction project.

The Challenge: 

On the project, scaffold was being erected with only pipe fitters consulted. Then when structural steel was mobilized for the same pipe rack, it was one and a half inch too high. Both crews had to stand down for rework and the project team lost three full schedule days to address the issue. Miscommunication was a reoccurring issue.

The Solution: Centralized RFI Management in O3 

O3’s ONBuild solution was introduced to create a master index of packages across areas to identify “shared” packages. Each planner coordinates across interdependent IWPs and captures all requirements and constraints in advance.

With ONBuild, the team:

  • Created a master index of all interdependent packages
  • Tracked and managed scaffolding for all IWPs
  • Coordinated Scaffolding requests across disciplines
  • Identify and clear constraints across Scaffold packages

Results: Faster RFI Resolution and Improved Communication 

  • Streamlined approval time for work packages
  • Reviewed reports to see performance by Contractor
  • Used dashboards to run Constraint Review meetings, to focus only on critical issues
  • Made decisions based on real-time data
 
Trusted. Proven. Unmatched.
