Cost Estimating
You want to work with a company that has wide experience in pipeline construction cost estimating, and experience working on some of the largest pipeline construction projects in Canada. Every project is different and may require a different estimating tecnique, Pipeline Solutions is there to build pipeline construction cost estimates from first principles or higher level factored estimates depending upon the clients needs.
Execution Planning
An accurately constructed pipeline construction cost estimate needs to backstopped by an appropriate pipeline construction execution plan.
In planning, it takes years of experience and repeat efforts to know what forces may rear their existence when you least expect them to.
Benchmarking
You can’t run a successful business in today’s competitive market if you are flying blind and are unaware of industry costs and associated benchmarking with your pipeline project. Pipeline Solutions examines available design and construction benchmark data collected from pipeline construction costs over many years.
Bid Evaluations
The bid process is significant and one not to be taken lightly. The constructing of a pipeline involves a significant number of contractor and pipeline owner information needs during the bid process. Pre-bid meetings and site evaluations are critical to the bid process as well.
Claims Analysis
In Pipeline Construction, as with any large construction project, unexpected claims may arise and whether the claim is due to differing site conditions, directed changes, variations in planned work, schedule delays or implied warranties, you will need a full analysis of the claim.
HDD Estimating and Planning
Your pipeline construction project appears fairly cut and dry, until you evaluate the pipeline location and recognize the obstacles needing to be avoided. Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is an accepted practice for many installations to avoid these obstacles. To successfully design and construct a pipeline detailed planning is required to meet government regulations as well as meet the critical path of the overall project.
Feasibility Studies
Your pipeline construction project will need to select a route, the size of pipe, length of pipe, right-of-way and the constructability of water crossings. As a result, a feasibility study to determine the optimal choices for your project is necessary.
