Pipeline Outcome
Risks successfully addressed prior to award of fixed price construction contract
•Financial Commitment prior to Financial Close
• Engineering Resource Requirement
• Extension of Develop Phase Programme
•Pipeline detailed design contract
•Proved viability of pipeline route
•Detailed design available
•Significant Saving on Pipeline Construction Contract relative to Design & Build
•Risks addressed thus reducing Client’s exposure (time & cost)
•Project Value Increased

Buried Structures Outcome
Risk successfully addressed prior to award of turnkey fixed price contract
•Financial Commitment prior to Financial Close
• Engineering Resource Requirement
• Extension of Develop Phase Programme
• Significant Saving on Cost relative to that proposed by EPC
• Significant Variation in scope
• Risk addressed thus reducing Client’s exposure (time & cost)
•Proposed Design now Site Specific
•Site Value Increased
