Budget
When you entrust an EPC contract to us, we are totally upfront about the total budget for the project, avoiding any unforeseen expenditure.
Efficiency
Having a single point of contact for the entire project makes it easier and more efficient to monitor the contract. This gives you complete peace of mind in the knowledge that interaction between the different aspects of the project will be under control.
Responsibility
In a turnkey project, the contractor takes full responsibility for delivering it to you ready for use. This obligation guarantees that the customer will receive fully functional facilities on time.
Strategic and operational management
At SALTA ENERGY, our EPC contracts are all-inclusive projects, also known as “turnkey projects”, where the customer delegates the entire implementation to the contractor.
Our team works closely with you, basing their work on the specifications, the contract and the tender. We deal with the studies required to design your project, taking into account your needs, international standards, local regulations and safety rules.
The different stages of our EPC contract
Studies and Management
At SALTA ENERGY, the key to delivering a project that meets your actual needs is good quality, appropriate studies and effective project management.
To achieve this, it is essential that the following criteria are met:
- The specifications, the contract and the invitation to tender must all be taken into account;
- International standards must be respected;
- Local regulations must be complied with;
- Personal experience also plays an important role.
An EPC project manager is responsible for managing and executing the project throughout the duration of the contract, right up to commissioning.
The EPC project manager
The EPC project manager plays an essential role as an intermediary between the customer and all the stakeholders. Their cross-disciplinary responsibilities include monitoring HSE (health, safety and environment) quality and safety, monitoring costs and timings and submitting periodic reports.
This role is vitally important when it comes to guaranteeing:
- Effective communication through relevant meetings and reports;
- Optimum coordination between stakeholders;
- That particular attention is paid to quality assurance;
- Rigorous monitoring of timings and budget;
- Strict compliance with HSE rules
With a qualified, experienced EPC Project Manager, your project will be a success as well as staying within budget.
Procurement
In a SALTA ENERGY EPC contract, the contractor is responsible for supplying all equipment, from EXW to DDP according to the contractual incoterms. Our team then takes charge of the procurement for the project, with a focus on optimising costs while respecting the following criteria:
- Compliance with the required technical specifications;
- Selection of reliable, certified equipment of tried and tested quality;
- Maintaining an impartial and neutral approach to brands.
The procurement stage also includes factory acceptance tests to make sure that all the equipment is compliant and to offer a guarantee covering our liability.
Construction & Commissioning
When you work with SALTA ENERGY, the construction of the site is supervised by an expert who works in partnership with several companies.
Our supervisor works closely with the engineers throughout the construction process, ensuring the perfect fit between the studies and installation, with support available at all times.
To minimise risk, we take a rigorous approach to selecting local subcontractors for the construction work. We can rely on the technical expertise of our engineers as well as our technical and organisational management team to guarantee:
- Excellent communication and organisation;
- Detailed overall planning;
- Strict compliance with HSE (Health, Safety and Environment) rules;
- Rigorous quality control, including hydraulic pressure tests and NDC (Non-Destructive Controls).
Once construction is complete, the engineers behind the project commission and start up the facilities.
