Industrial construction and industrial projects are often synonymous with challenging and delays. Industrial projects are no cakewalk. And industrial infrastructure design must ensure that there are no clashes between disciplines. Each stage of the project, from start to end, has many teams and multiple disciplines involved.
Multiple teams
Some of the multiple teams and agencies involved in industrial projects include the client’s project team, process consultants, design consultants, project management consultants, contractors of various works, vendors, liasoning consultants etc.
It is a challenge to coordinate between these varied teams. When issues crop up between them, delays are inevitable. Each team has to follow a timeline. There has to be a communication protocol from the start. A precise scope and battery limits ensure a seamless workflow.
Design deliverables and contractors’ onboarding must reflect on the project timeline. This step ensures that the contractor gets the drawings on time and there is no delay in implementation.
It is essential to have a core team to manage the project. The core project team must have members with authority to decide and approve. Design charrettes and project meetings ensure that all are on the same page. Project Kick-off meetings work similarly for contractors.
Regulatory Compliances
It is also imperative to see that all the statutory compliances are met as per the rules and regulations. Initiate government approvals before groundbreaking. Effluent treatment and sewage treatment should follow the guidelines of the government. The fire department, the district of town and country planning, Inspectorate of factories are a few of the authorities that approve the drawings.
Other than the drawings approvals, the contractor should be followed by the contractors. Moreover the Project Management consultants should ensure that the contractors follow all compliances for construction.
Conclusion
To conclude, for a project to succeed, everyone must meet the project timelines. Additionally, the design should be as per the statutory compliances.
