Our experts leverage their market knowledge, global resources, long-term supplier relationships, and decades of experience to ensure reasonable:
• Pricing for equipment and materials
• Lead times
• Resource constraints
• Shop loading
• Supplier documentation submittal schedules
They know that minimizing schedule delays, construction installation costs and risks maximize a project’s potential for success.
From supplier selection to final payment, the goal is to maintain project schedule and cost and mitigate procurement risks by executing a procurement plan that includes:
• Identifying and purchasing equipment early in the contract
• Strategic sourcing of equipment and materials including identification and utilization of overseas manufacturers
• Innovating delivery solutions
• Coordinating materials, including storage requirements, warehouse and laydown yard planning, and delivery sequencing of fabricated items to minimize storage duration and requirements
• Managing inspections at supplier’s facilities for quality oversight
• Aggressively expediting supplier documentation and equipment, including weekly progress meetings with primary suppliers, third party inspection and shop expediting to confirm milestones
• Managing domestic and international transportation and logistics, including specifying export packaging and monitoring shipment for timely delivery
• Working receipt exceptions and assisting in resolving U, O, S, and D (unsatisfactory, over, short, damaged) issues
Our procurement and logistics team supports projects of all sizes, whether large, complex engineered capital equipment or engineered structural steel, piping, electrical, and instrumentation items and start-up materials.
Our team works with clients to determine the procurement strategy that best suits their organization, needs and budget. That includes transporting heavy haul loads the equivalent of a 20-story building and weighing almost as much as the Statue of Liberty around the world by ship, truck, or rail, safely and securely to meet client expectations and quality standards.
