Energy Corporate Profile

Systech International provides responsive, high quality multi-disciplinary managed services to contractors, supporting them in the delivery of complex and challenging projects on time and to budget.

We are the leading global provider of commercial management, project controls, planning and scheduling, claims, expert witness, dispute resolution, legal and visualisation services on construction, infrastructure and energy projects.

Our team of professionals provides services over the full lifespan of projects – from bid to handover – from our offices across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Asia Pacific and the Americas.

We understand the requirements and risks of projects and the need for robust and professional cost and schedule con-trol throughout the duration of a scheme. We also have the expertise to manage and resolve claim or dispute situa-tions should they arise using our commercial and legal consultants who provide a co-ordinated and seamless service, avoiding the abortive work that o(en arises when using multi-party advisors.

Our services are supported by our in-house visualisation team who prepare animations which aid the communication of complex planning, bid, phasing, construction and dispute ideas. This unique feature of our business is particularly beneficial in situations where the parties speak different languages.

Risk ManagementWe are experienced in the identification, definition, quantification and control of risks and appreciate that risk management is not restricted to the early stages of a project, rather that it is an ongoing process over the lifetime of a project.

We manage risk and, should an event occur, we will assess the consequential cost, programme and procedural impacts.

Contract ManagementWe understand that it is essential to a project’s success for costs to be pro-actively managed and controlled from concept through to completion, so that a “no shock” financial conclusion is delivered. Advice can be given on how to maximise returns on low margin projects.

Pro-active contract and commercial protection are put in place alongside practical controls and changes evaluated for time and cost impacts. Services provided include:

Procurement strategyBid supportEstimate and budgetsProject documentationCommercial strategy and proceduresContractual adviceContract administrationCorrespondence and noticesCost control and cost / value reportingVariations / change controlFinal accountProject auditSupply chain managementDispute avoidance

Planning and SchedulingOur strong team of planners is backed up by contractual and legal experts familiar with preparing programmes at all stages of a project – from bid, to on-site progress to retrospective forensic for use in disputes.

We do not simply plan a project. We bring new ideas, fresh thinking and solutions to problems whilst looking for opportunities to reduce time periods and de-risk through what-if scenarios. Services include:

Tender, contract and / or baseline programmeResource and cost loading of programmesConstruction solutions and phasing to reduce project durationProgramme risk identification and comparison of mitigation methodsProgress monitoring, reporting and auditsInterface co-ordinationTime impacts arising from changeRecovery and accelerated programmesEarned value and other project benchmarking measures

Claims ManagementSystech has a global reputation as a leading claims consultant on major projects and clients can be confident that we have the professionalism and expertise to look after their interests. It is our policy to discuss a client’s specific claim objectives with them and then to provide recommendations as to how they can be achieved. We will carry out the relevant analysis, prepare documentation and negotiate a settlement.

Claims are often complex and we are able to use our visualisations expertise to demonstrate the main issues pictorially to aid communication to key decision makers.

Power Generation experience

Medupi and Kusile Power Plants, South Africa

We advise and support contractors on major power projects throughout the world and we are familiar with their specific needs and objectives over the full lifetime of a project, from the initial concept through to handover and the ongoing maintenance period.

Power projects regularly involve a collaboration of contractors and we are familiar with the joint venture agreements this involves and how the risks are allocated between the parties.

Projects are o(en let under EPC arrangements for which the contractor requires a full appreciation of the specification and delivery obligations. Robust systems are required to avoid scope creep throughout all phases of delivery however the design phase is particularly crucial and we have significant expertise and experience in supporting our clients gain approval for their preferred solutions.

Hydropower experience

Adelaide Desalination Plant, Australia

The power sector demands highly specialist skills since projects are o(en carried out under difficult conditions, in remote and challenging locations, under extremely tight deadlines and highly onerous contract conditions.

Contractors regularly inherit significant cost and time risks, and the penalties for failing to achieve the ultimate completion obligation can be substantial. Good contract, commercial and schedule management by people with relevant expertise is therefore essential and you can rely on Systech to provide this.

Alternative Energy experience

Newhaven Energy Recovery Facility, UK

The alternative energy market offers exciting opportunities and we have been involved in a range of diverse projects – waste to energy, bio fuel, energy recovery and wind-farms [onshore and offshore]. This sector includes a number of organisations who are unfamiliar with the construction environment and we have supported them with the contractual arrangements as well as the ongoing project administration.

Onshore Oil & Gas experience

Bu Hasa Pipeline, UAE

Contractors in the oil and gas sector regularly inherit significant cost and time risks, and the penalties for failing to achieve the ultimate completion obligation (for example sail-away or first gas / oil) can be substantial. Good contract, commercial and schedule management by people with relevant expertise is therefore essential and you can rely on Systech to provide this.

At Systech, we also understand balance – while quality and safety can never be compromised, there is always a balance between cost and time and it is not always possible to optimise both. We therefore adopt a questioning attitude with our clients to ensure that we fully understand their needs and priorities so that we can offer solutions which meet their requirements.

Offshore Oil & Gas experience

Self-Elevating Drilling Platform, Brazil

A key consideration in the oil and gas industry is to recognise that contractors do not provide an end product; they provide a temporary facility to allow the extraction of the end product. A rig which takes 2/3 years to build will typically produce for 15/20 years and therefore it has a limited lifetime. It is consequently essential that the rig is fabricated and comes on-line as quickly and cost effectively as possible and Systech is familiar with the rigorous decision making process which this entails.
