Twenty-five industry experts participated in this workshop representing owner companies, engineering companies, construction companies and academics. The result was a well-balanced and open discussion on key scheduling issues that affect major EPC projects. This presentation represents the key findings of this working group in the form of best practices that can be applied within Alberta’s industry.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The second, presented by Maria Lizardo was about “Advantages of Independent Project Reviews for Large Engineering/Construction Projects”.   </p> <p style="text-align: justify;">To receive a copy of either of these presentations please <a href="mailto:info@pathfinderinc.com">email us</a>.</p> </div> Tue, 03 Dec 2013 00:35:12 +0000 pathadmin 383 at https://pathfinderinc.com Pathfinder presenting "The Owner's Role in Project Execution" at POWERGEN - November 13, 2013 https://pathfinderinc.com/news/pathfinder-presenting-owners-role-project-execution-powergen-november-13-2013 <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Pathfinder presenting &quot;The Owner&#039;s Role in Project Execution&quot; at POWERGEN - November 13, 2013</span> <div class="field field--name-field-insert-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/default_images/event_0.png" width="775" height="491" alt="" typeof="foaf:Image" /> </div> </div> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span lang="" about="/users/cmcintyre" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">cmcintyre</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden">Wed, 11/13/2013 - 10:08</span> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>During the presentation today, Steve Cuneo will discuss the following...</p> <p class="yiv318168266msonormal">In today’s active power industry project environment, we are driven to rely on our engineering and construction contractors more than ever.  Our contractor community is ‘resource-stretched’ due to extensive capital project activity in the power market as well as the unprecedented growth in other process-related industries in North America.  Owners today must provide clear guidance as well as appropriate levels of oversight and due diligence, to assure projects are delivered on time and within budget. </p> <p class="yiv318168266msonormal">A number of innovative contracting methodologies can aid in this important and necessary owner oversight role.  These include owner self-managed, contractor engineer/procure/construct, incentive contracts, and hybrids.  Compensation methodologies are also a consideration such as lump sum, reimbursable cost, unit cost, etc.  This paper will identify proven methods to ensure owner’s project success along with telltale signs that can indicate performance problems.</p> <p class="yiv318168266msonormal">Proven project management techniques such as project execution planning, independent project reviews, cost/schedule risk assessments and contract strategy workshops will be discussed.  The level of effort to implement these techniques, along with the proven benefits, will be considered. The session will allow the opportunity for participants to question panel members and raise real life project issues.</p> <p class="yiv318168266msonormal">To receive a copy of this paper/presentation please <a href="mailto:info@pathfinderinc.com">email us</a>.</p> </div> Wed, 13 Nov 2013 15:08:39 +0000 cmcintyre 381 at https://pathfinderinc.com Pathfinder published in Chemical Processing https://pathfinderinc.com/news/pathfinder-published-chemical-processing-2 <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Pathfinder published in Chemical Processing </span> <div class="field field--name-field-insert-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/default_images/event_0.png" width="775" height="491" alt="" typeof="foaf:Image" /> </div> </div> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span lang="" about="/users/cmcintyre" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">cmcintyre</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden">Wed, 08/01/2012 - 00:00</span> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>Consider a Cold Eye Review</p> <p>To receive a copy of this paper/presentation please <a href="mailto:info@pathfinderinc.com">email us</a>.</p> </div> Wed, 01 Aug 2012 04:00:00 +0000 cmcintyre 350 at https://pathfinderinc.com https://pathfinderinc.com/news/pathfinder-published-chemical-processing-2#comments Summer/Fall 2011 https://pathfinderinc.com/publications/private/summerfall-2011 <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Summer/Fall 2011</span> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p></p><p>Are Project Management Contractors the Answer to Megaproject Sponsor Oversight?</p> </div> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span lang="" about="/users/cmcintyre" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">cmcintyre</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden">Mon, 08/15/2011 - 00:00</span> <div class="field field--name-field-available-downloads field--type-file field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Available downloads</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"> <span class="file file--mime-image-jpeg file--image"> <a href="/sites/default/files/2022-11/project-assurance-650_0_1.jpg" type="image/jpeg" title="project-assurance-650_0_1.jpg">Panorama Summer-Fall 2011</a></span> </div> </div> </div> Mon, 15 Aug 2011 04:00:00 +0000 cmcintyre 285 at https://pathfinderinc.com Spring 2011 https://pathfinderinc.com/publications/private/spring-2011 <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Spring 2011</span> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p></p><p>Alberta Heavy Oil Project Update and Project Process Reviews - Eliminate the "Check the Box" Mentality</p> </div> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span lang="" about="/users/cmcintyre" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">cmcintyre</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden">Fri, 04/15/2011 - 00:00</span> Fri, 15 Apr 2011 04:00:00 +0000 cmcintyre 272 at https://pathfinderinc.com https://pathfinderinc.com/publications/private/spring-2011#comments
