In the course of this project, the EPC Framework Contractor, responsible for the installation of two new Synchronous Generator Transformers (SGT's), encountered an unexpected scope change related to Drainage and Interceptor Installation. An additional costs due to this change amounted to a substantial £2 million, considering the inherent risks and complexities.
However, in a strategic move guided by the Project Manager, a decision was made to capitalise on the expertise of 1 Delivery. The results of this decision were not only impressive but also a testament to efficient cost management and operational excellence.
The 1 Delivery team, undeterred by the challenge at hand, swiftly undertook the Drainage and Interceptor Installation task, demonstrating their remarkable ability to execute complex projects with remarkable cost-efficiency. The project was not only completed for a fraction of the initially projected cost, coming in at just £450,000, but it was also done within the agreed-upon timelines.
What's even more remarkable is that this cost-effective achievement didn't come at the expense of safety. The project was executed with utmost diligence, resulting in zero incidents or accidents, despite the presence of difficult ground conditions and severe weather conditions that would have otherwise posed a significant challenge.
As if these accomplishments weren't enough, the scope expanded further with the inclusion of additional Fire Hydrant work. Even with these added responsibilities, the 1 Delivery team managed to maintain their performance, ensuring that all tasks were completed efficiently and effectively.
This project showcases the remarkable synergy between cost-effective project management and operational excellence. The ability to adapt to scope changes, execute tasks within budget, and maintain an impeccable safety record in challenging conditions demonstrates the exceptional capabilities of the 1 Delivery team. This achievement not only ensures the project's success but also sets a high standard for future ventures.
