· improving cross-discipline and supplier collaboration;
· controlling data throughout the capital project lifecycle; and
· applying standards and enabling replication.
Shell selected Project Wise Construct Sim as the foundation of its construction management solution to:
· enhance its ability to visually plan and execute work safely, avoiding premature mobilization and downtime and removing constraints that can impact safety, logistics, materials, labor availability, permits, and documentation;
· ensure more effective “engineering readiness” through the application of advanced work packaging to improve constructability; and
· improve field productivity, which optimizes schedule reliability, maximizes time on tools, increases safety, and mitigates risk, resulting in substantial cost savings.
Greg Bentley, Bentley Systems CEO and executive sponsor of the company’s Shell relationship, said, “Shell deserves credit for leading the energy industry to find innovative ways to continue to improve the affordability of capital projects, through the efficiency and predictability achievable through CII’s Advanced Work Packaging playbook. By championing AWP through Project Vantage for its own projects, Shell is also helping their EPCs toward project delivery performance breakthroughs—leveraging software technologies and cloud services, for the benefit of every project.Shell’s experience to date in applying 4D and 5D initiatives on major projects corroborates both CII’s findings about productivity gains attainable through AWP, as well as Project Wise Construct Sim’s contribution.”
Martin Swaine, Shell 4D/5D programme manager, said, “Shell has been pleased with the trend of benefits seen during our projects’ increasing use of Project Wise Construct Sim. Together with Bentley, we look to build on these improvements with our supply chain to collectively deliver safer and better projects.”
