Through our long-standing relationships with prominent design firms, we learned how to best collaborate with engineers to bring their designs to life. And as a contractor, we are better positioned to coordinate work on the ground, quickly solve problems, and even anticipate opportunities to improve value for the client. In recent foundation drilling projects as EPC Lead, we employed technology like Osterberg Load Cell tests to validate pre-bid design assumptions and prove the design. This type of collaboration between the design firm and our construction team led to reduced drilled shaft lengths, construction costs, and production schedule. Because we are capable of self-performing most ROW construction work, including foundation drilling, clearing, access construction, SWPPP, matting, restoration, and substation construction, we can plan the schedule and ensure construction activities adhere to project controls, schedules, and cost. This unified management structure also allows us to avoid redundancies in field oversight, making essential functions like safety and quality control less costly, while also removing opportunities for miscommunication or inconsistency. By looking at the big picture, with all of its moving parts, we are demonstrating Contractor-Led EPC efforts create unique opportunities for innovation at all stages of the project.
