Engineering, Procurement and Construction for Renewable Energy projects
EPC stands for engineering, procurement, and construction. It encompasses the design of an energy solution to help a facility solve its energy problems and then move on to the construction of that specific project, so the end to end process to deliver the project is catered for.
Engineering
In this phase, we conduct a full assessment/audit to enable us design appropriate energy models that will fit project needs.
Elements in the Engineering stage include:
- Technical evaluation
- DC engineering
- AC engineering
- Storage scaling
- Grid integration and interconnection
- Cost analysis
- Return analysis
- Project management
Procurement
This is the phase where the various equipment and components which have been thrown up in the design are purchased. Efforts are made at this stage to ensure what is purchased is of good quality, balanced against the budget.
Elements include
- Procurement of equipment
- Selecting subcontractors
- Insurances
- Guarantee management
- Cost analysis
- Logistics
- Project management
Construction
At this point, equipment has arrived and the putting together of components and integration of the systems can take place. This has to be done very carefully as inadequate installations can result in major problems.
The process involves:
- Coordination and supervision of the construction process
- Interconnection
- Risk management
- Quality control
- Project management
Benefits of EPC Process
- Single point of accountability: the client can refer to one single company for the entire phase of the project
- Owner transfers interface management risks to EPC contractor: you donât need to worry about passing the project along to another company and having to explain everything to another company
- Enhanced construct-ability drives down costs
- Integrated flow of information and communication
- Aligned interests and common project goals
- Efficient project execution with condensed project schedules
- EPC contractors will guarantee the facility meeting the performance requirements specified by the client: a failure to meet the requirement results in liquidated damages against the EPC contractor
We provide EPC services covering end to end project development and implementation.
