Scott’s Background
![Page 8: Project Engineering This is NOT where you want is NOT where you want to find your ... •Executed projects with 8 different Engineering companies •Contracts: LSTK, EPC, ... without](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051723/5ab482e17f8b9a6e1c8bec06/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Too much turnover on Project Team (Owner, Engineer,
Constructor). Loss of knowledge setbacks occur.
• Too much cut and paste engineering delays attention to design
issues until HAZOP unearths them
• Size of job- if not staffed properly causes delays and quality
issues especially if Contractor over-focuses on cost
• Late deliverables by Owner or Engineer impact Construction
contractor, causes misalignment
• Large project=large risk, without good Project Engineering can
lead to short sighted decision making
What contributes to an “Unsuccessful Project”? And how I lived through it.
![Page 9: Project Engineering This is NOT where you want is NOT where you want to find your ... •Executed projects with 8 different Engineering companies •Contracts: LSTK, EPC, ... without](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051723/5ab482e17f8b9a6e1c8bec06/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Lack of understanding between Contractor and Owner
regarding HAZOP and Pre-startup Safety review by
EPC contract
• Contractor uses “blackbox” approach for package units
• Contract revisions and incentives not used early
enough to address potential delays and responsibilities
late in the project
• Operations/Maintenance input ignored
• Turnover packages/responsibilities between
Construction and Commissioning and Operations is not
well defined.

The Experts Say:
CAUSES • Underestimation.
• Lack of definition.
• Engineering costs become significant.
• Schedule delays, costs increase, ripples through entire project.
SOLUTIONS • Plan to get it right.
• Experience in all the right places.
• Get construction involved early.

• How does project engineering minimize the impact of an ever evolving design?
• How do you know when to kill the engineer, finish construction and start up?
• Is this the sole responsibility of the Owner?
Ongoing Design – Scope Creep

• Project Engineering is the key component to a successful project. How do we make sure each participant understands and accepts the appropriate risk?
• When is the appropriate time to have clear understanding? Why can’t we get it done at the beginning?
• How can we stay out of court?
• Ultimately – Is the owner responsible?
RISK is not just a Board Game.
