Project Management

Carmagen Engineering, Inc. specializes in these areas of project management practice:

We don't necessarily want to manage your whole engineering & construction project -- but we can help get you through some of the tough spots.

Evaluation of project execution strategies, assessment of risks, and development of approaches to minimize adverse risks
Front-end engineering, including testing of design bases
Development of critical issues associated with the project
Development of staffing plans for all project phases and work locations

Objective and detailed appraisal of capital cost estimates for methodology and completeness
Scoping and assessment of project cost control organization and systems for responsiveness

Develop and implement a structured program to apply comprehensive construction knowledge and experience from design development through construction

Development of contracting strategies for the overall project and each major job, with appropriate commercial approaches for each anticipated contract
Assistance for owner's legal and project functions in preparing bid documents to get targeted results
Assistance with screening of potential bidders, identification of qualified bidders, and determination of a bidding slate for each job
Assistance with planning for an administration of the bidding process, review of proposals, and penetration of an award recommendation for each contract

Definition and documentation of responsibility splits and interfaces between the owner and contractor(s)
Development of a comprehensive purchasing plan, including expediting, shop inspection, and related activities as well as cost-effective procurement of low-value items
Development of a logistics plan appropriate to project size, complexity, and location, including packing and shipping, export/import considerations, receiving and temporary storage

As an extension of the owner's project team, conduct a program for selective, detailed review of engineering design for mechanical, machinery, fired equipment, instrumentation, safety, electrical, and civil engineering aspects of the facility

Conduct planned, in-depth, quick-response appraisals of project performance at key milestones to give owner's management an unbiased picture of strengths and weaknesses of the project

Implement comprehensive planning of the entire construction process to provide basis for safe and effective worksite activities
Perform specialized Construction Safety Execution Planning, to provide specific worksite safety programs in appropriate depth and breadth to meet owner's safety goals
Provide specialized Mobile Crane/Lifting Safety Program including onsite training for crane operators, foreman, and field engineers, as appropriate

Plan for and assist implementation of required coordination among contractors and project team during the interim between near-completion of construction and initial operation of the facility:
