For the project execution a team of engineers and technicians is established, mainly from own personal sources, which is able to solve on professional level problems connected with planning, design, procurement and construction. The project team is led by project manager. The project manager is responsible for the entire work regarding quality, economy and observance of the agreed time schedule. PM maintain continuous contact with the Client, submits a monthly progress report giving a review of the work performed and information regarding necessary changes and modifications of the project concept made during the progress of the design.
Project manager arranges common project meetings with the Client, main target of which is to reach conformity between requirements on technical solution level and investment means.
The project management covers mainly the following activities:
- Tasks and resources planning
- Co-ordination (client-authorities-vendors)
- Scheduling and cost control
- Progress control and progress reporting
- Quality control
INVESTMENT PLANNING
First and often unavoidable step of the each project is reviewing of its feasibility from technical and economical viewpoints. An inevitable foundation for the resolving process is to determine demands on technical and architectural solutions, operational capacities, appropriate site location, determination of needs for raw materials and energy requirements, manpower, reaching of solution agreement with common interests at regions of environmental protection, safety and health protection at work and fire protection, cost estimates, etc.
ENGINEERING
This phase of the investments preparation has normally three stages usually, fastening to approvement process predetermined by Construction Law valid in Slovakia. INTECH elaborates in the first stage an Authority Engineering documentation attached to application for :- Plant location permit
- Plant building permit
The documentation for the building permit is the first complete technical and architectural solution of the future plant. It determines the plant function, its extent and the environmental influence.
The detailed design work is the last step of the design documentation elaborated in details which are necessary for procurement and construction.
PROCUREMENT
According to the elaborated detailed technical specifications which should be included in the bidding documents, INTECH contacts several credible suppliers. Then process of offers evaluation follows to select most suitable suppliers in terms of quality, reliability and financing. This process will ensure high quality of deliveries at acceptable costs. During manufacturing period INTECH performs inspection activity concentrated on quality control, conformity of the deliveries with the design specification and delivery time schedule keeping. All these activities enable INTECH to perform measures, which eliminate any influence of contingent deviations from final target reaching.
- RFQ, solicitation
- Evaluation of bids and supplier selection
- Purchase orders and contract awards
- Logistic, shipping
CONSTRUCTION
Construction activities start during the design work. These activities are motivated by Client's demands for keeping the deadline of the plant start-up, requests for quality of deliveries at acceptable costs. INTECH, as an engineering company, carries out construction work in cooperation with well-proved and competent suppliers. Construction activities cover:
- Construction planning
- Field procurement
- Supervision
- Civil & Structural Works
- Equipment installation
- Commissioning
- Start-up support
- Training
