Conventional wisdom says that when you’re faced with a choice between fast, good and inexpensive, you can only pick two.
Choose fast and good, and your costs increase. Choose good and inexpensive, and your timelines extend. Choose fast and inexpensive, and the quality suffers. This quality triangle dilemma reflects a common challenge in pre-commissioning projects, where tight schedules and strict cleaning criteria have to coexist.
The real key isn’t deciding which two factors to prioritize—it’s engineering the pre-commissioning process to reduce the need for tradeoffs. At B&W Energy Services, this starts with understanding the full cost of pre-commissioning.
The True Cost of Pre-Commissioning
We maximize value for our clients by recognizing that it’s not just the direct costs of pre-commissioning services that matter, but the indirect costs our clients incur, including:
- Water usage
- Fuel consumption
- Power demand
- Man-hours
- And more
When these factors aren’t engineered into the plan, they increase quickly. We minimize resource usage and indirect costs through our equipment engineered for efficiency.
How Our Equipment is Designed for Efficiency
B&W designs modular equipment to save time during equipment mobilization, setup and cleaning execution.
Rather than relying solely on higher output or increased manpower, our equipment is configured around specific project requirements, including:
- Calculated flow rates and pressure settings
- System-specific volume considerations
- Defined cleanliness criteria
- Minimized resource waste
Additionally, our hydrolazing equipment and dry steam silencer technology minimize direct resource consumption through engineered parameters that allow for a more accurate prediction of water usage.
Reducing Indirect Costs Through Planning
Efficiency is only accomplished when engineering design and field execution are aligned. Before our team mobilizes equipment, we evaluate applications based on:
- Pipe size and metallurgy
- System layout
- Required cleaning standards
- Environmental constraints
By designing our pre-commissioning cleaning services around these variables, our team can reduce unnecessary water usage, fuel demand and onsite labor time.
By using fewer resources and increasing service quality in a shorter timeframe through our expertly engineered pre-commissioning cleaning services, we deliver maximum value for our clients.
You don’t need to sacrifice quality, efficiency or cost in your pre-commissioning services. Give our team a call to see how we can help maximize the value of your next project.
