“Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) is a work process framework fundamentally based on the idea of thinking with the end in mind. It is designed to allow engineering planning
be driven by construction sequencing. Simply put, this is achieved by breaking down the project scope into
Construction Work Packages that are fed with Engineering Work Packages.
The AWP framework proposes an enhanced set of practices performed in the construction industry for executing work-
packaging.”

• The relationship between AWP and field productivity is a result of the execution of IWPs that are constraint-free. Consequently, frontline personnel can focus exclusively on construction execution without wasting time on the retrieval of materials, engineering, and documentation.
• AWP brings high consciousness about space management. Movements around the field are minimized as crews are able to complete IWPs without interruptions.
• Higher involvement of superintendent and foremen in project execution, empowering crews to deliver IWPs scope with enhanced productivity.
• Reported 15% productivity increase
• Reported rework rate below company average
Safety

• AWP formalizes identification and mitigation of safety issues during planning and development of IWPs
• Early identification of potential construction risks during the initial planning stage, where all key project participants are involved
• Unnecessary movements around the site were minimized
• IWPs close-out includes feedback and continuous improvement on safety as a requirement.
• Projects implementing AWP achieved 0 DARTs
