Power Construction Consultants
Construction of modern power infrastructure involves technical precision and logistical complexities. As the demand for power generation rapidly grows, public and private owners face the challenge of delivering projects on time and within budget, despite a shortage of specialized labor and resources.
At Spire Consulting Group, we understand the risks and obstacles unique to power facility construction. We have assisted contractors, subcontractors, and owners in overcoming these challenges and mitigating potential issues on a variety of domestic and international power projects.
As a result, our team possesses the knowledge and skill set to evaluate the unique impacts that may occur on a project and can implement controls to catch issues before they turn into delays or cost overruns. Our proactive-forensic model gives your project a distinct advantage.
Consulting Expertise for Your Power Construction Company
With their many moving parts, regulatory complexity, and accelerated timelines, power generation projects frequently lead to disputes. We provide the technical support and forensic analysis expertise to help resolve conflicts quickly.
Beyond dispute resolution, we support the entire project life cycle. We offer comprehensive project controls, project management, and construction advisory services to drive your project’s success from concept to closeout.
Essential services for power projects include:
Claims Management
Evolving designs commonly lead to contractor requests for more funds during construction. Ensure you only pay for what’s fair with our claims management services. We thoroughly review claims to confirm they adhere to contract terms and validate entitlement. If costs are unjustified, we provide the objective data and contractual substantiation to reject them.
If you’re a contractor facing owner-initiated delays, we can help you prepare claims to ensure you’re compensated for extended costs.
Delay Analysis
Delays are common with power infrastructure projects due to challenges in securing specialized labor and equipment and coordinating multiple stakeholders. Still, identifying the exact cause is necessary to enforce accountability and liability. We apply forensic scheduling techniques, like Time Impact Analysis, to isolate the root causes of schedule delays and determine liability.
Damages Quantification
With multiple trades working together, it can be difficult to isolate damages like “loss of productivity” when a disruption occurs. We use techniques like measured mile analysis to calculate wasted labor hours and substantiate costs. We quantify the impact of other disruptions as well, including extended overhead, to support negotiations.
Schedule Analysis and Oversight
Confirm that your project’s completion date is achievable with our schedule analysis services. We analyze the Critical Path Method (CPM) schedule to validate logic and identify risks, applying our experience in construction management and dispute resolution. We then provide the roadmap to correct unrealistic timelines, helping to prevent costly delays later on.
We continuously monitor your project’s progress against the baseline schedule to ensure timelines reflect reality. Our rigorous schedule oversight can prevent minor missteps from escalating into significant claims.
