Helping a major construction company in the energy sector reduce costs and improve productivity

A major construction company undertaking the build of a new power station had been failing to meet agreed deadlines. As a result, costs had escalated and were significantly over budget. Improving performance was of vital importance.

Unipart were engaged by the client to review and implement various improvements through a structured programme.

• The Unipart team reviewed the ‘Take-Over’ and ‘Commissioning’ processes.
• The team then designed and implemented the action to avoid or reduce the problem of long delays.
• Workshops were deployed to engage and define problem-solving strategies.
• A ‘War Room’ has been able to raise problems as they occur, for discussion.
