Challenges and Results
This project presented several challenges, including adhering to a tight schedule and delayed equipment deliveries. To meet the schedule, our team carefully organized the work and constantly coordinated with teams. To improve efficiency and speed, we also implemented new construction techniques. In addition, to overcome equipment delays, our team accommodated all requests for overtime and out-of-scope rework.
Once completed, the new hydrogen plant reduced the amount of sulfur generated by the combustion of crude oil at the refinery, allowing the client to operate cleanly and meet global limits for sulfur production instituted by the International Maritime Organization. Through careful tracking and project management, we cut costs and saved time without sacrificing worksite safety or the quality of our work.
