We combine our engineering and
construction experience with our digital
skills to make solutions that drive decision
making at all levels of the project team.

Our client is designing and bringing to market small modular nuclear reactors. We provided a range of services within the PMO, including planning, project controls, and development of digital tools.

Small Modular Reactor Programme

A small modular reactor programme with fully digitised delivery

The Client’s challenges

As an essentially new business, the client required PMO processes, procedures, and reporting strategies to be developed.

These were set up from scratch in addition to the technology to support implementation, to effectively support the project from preliminary concept design through to the construction of a “first of a kind” power plant.

Our solution

We led the development and management of the overall master schedule in P6.

We also developed standardised coding systems, processes and procedures, centred around cloud technologies and data analytics using Power BI and bespoke tools. To develop an outline roadmap to achieve 5D capability, this schedule was linked to a 3D model to demonstrate how we could automate updates of cost and duration as the design develops, exploring the use of both Navisworks and Synchro.

Outcomes for the Client

Provided vital support to the management of the programme, by providing key information to enable optimisation of the overall process within investment constraints. Including:

Extensive reporting provides actionable insights at project, department, and board level on programme status, underpinned by project data with minimal manual data handling, to enable data-driven decision making.
Improved communication by having a fully integrated programme bringing together plans from multiple consortium partners in a standardised and controlled manner.
Identified key interfaces between over 75 individual programmes of work to ensure the correct information is provided at the right point in the programme.
Visibility of budget, broken down by work packages and project partners.
Clear processes and procedures to allow a solid foundation for the PMO to operate.

More Case Studies

UCB | Project Apple

Project Apple seeks to create a research and development (R&D) centre of excellence for the global pharmaceutical company UCB, relocating its UK-based Early Discovery facilities from Slough to Windlesham.

We were brought in to develop and manage the programme of the full M&E package, including Design, Procurement, Construction, and Commissioning phases.

Stronelairg Onshore Wind Farm

The 228MW Stronelairg onshore wind farm sits at an elevation of around 600 meters above sea level. Its load factor, on a P50 basis, is expected to be around 42% in a typical year, which is claimed to be like the load factors of several existing offshore wind farms.

We managed the construction planning for the installation contractor.

Greenlink Interconnector

Greenlink is a subsea and underground electricity interconnector that links the power markets in Ireland and Great Britain, representing one of Europe’s most important energy infrastructure projects.

We were brought in to produce the baseline programme in the pre-construction phase and manage the programme across the duration of the project.
