VICIAD'S APPROACH TO PROJECT DEVELOPMENT, ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT
Project Development
The initial consultancy phase of any project is of vital importance to the successful completion of the entire programme. It is this stage of the operation which will determine the baseline specification for the project in terms of technology, budget and timescales. Acting as your adviser, our objective is quite simply to supply an achievable practical project plan, which encompasses all of the activities and technologies neededto meet your agreed requirements specification. At VICIAD, we believe in the active involvement of our clients in all phases of the project development process. What we offer is essentially a partnership where we combine our engineering expertise with your knowledge of your needs and aspirations, to create a pragmatic engineering solution. Of course, we understand that some of our clients need a pure Consultancy service, whilst others require a full Project Management service, but most of our clients will want something in-between. So we are flexible and are totally committed to supporting you whatever your needs may be. To assist us in achieving this aim, our staffs have been recruited from a wide variety of backgrounds and although they are all highly qualified, they are not just academics. Our consultants have extensive experience in solving practical design problems in the field.
Engineering
Operating in partnership with you, VICIAD can provide you with all of the Engineering and Construction expertise necessary to successfully complete all aspects of Mechanical/Piping, Civil/Structural, and Electrical Instrumentation Engineering. We can achieve this because our Consulting Engineers have developed expertise which covers the widest possible range of conceptual and detail design for easy fabrication, construction and installations. We are aware of the balance, which must be achieved in any project between design, cost, technology and the ultimate operating cost of the system. Supported by a powerful range of design and management tools, our Engineers utilise the most modern techniques available for the development of a cost effective engineering solutions.
Project Management
Strong, effective Project Management is essential to the success of any project. Our considerable experience in project management, supported by sophisticated computer facilities, enables us to provide clients with a particularly effective multi- discipline Project Management service. We appoint a Project Manager at the start of every project and it is his responsibility to co-ordinate quality, cost, time and resources and ensures that the project is completed on time and within budget. The Project Manager will keep you fully informed on progress and cost throughout the lifecycle of the project and will ensure that any problem areas are quickly identified and resolved.
