Turnkey Engineering, Procurement and
Construction of Balance of Plant
Why Engineering, Procurement & Construction
contracting for BALANCE OF PLANT (BOP) Systems?
Traditionally the Project procurement practice followed by various
utilities in India has been the multiple package route. This no doubt
has the advantages of least cost of purchase & total control over
individual equipment specification but suffers from serious drawbacks
like
- Requires large number experienced staff
for engineering, execution & project
management for more than 15 packages from
end user as well as consultant engineering
- High project schedule risk
- Micro level Project Monitoring required –
Sub system delay could cause project over
runs
- Large interface requirements between
various packages
- Large ordering cycle time for more than 15
packages
- Performance guarantees of the complete
system difficult to prove
- High Project cost risk: Escalation factors
of individual packages Engineering changes
during detailed execution will result in
Cost & Time overrun
With the initiation of
Liberalization process in early 90's,
Utilities adopted single EPC (Engineering
Procurement & Construction route) with the
sole purpose objective of achieving "On
time Commissioning", "Quality" & "Fixed
Least Project Cost". This practice did not
produce expected results as most of EPC
Contractors core strengths were in Power
Island namely Boiler, Turbine & Generators
systems & the BOP packages were 3rd party
buy outs leading to higher project cost &
schedule risks. The emerging trend in the market is seen
to be combining the advantages of both the
models, which means having Twin EPC
Packages for procurement, One for Power
Island & the other for complete BOP
Island. BGR Energy is proud to be the innovator
of this contracting model & leading
utilities in India have already adopted
the twin route procurement model in the
last few years with large success in terms
of project schedule & lower project cost.
Value to Customer
- Minimum Finance risk
- Ordering on firm price basis
- Firm cash flows
- Minimal schedule risk
- Single Point Responsibility for Design, Engineering, Supply, Erection &
Commissioning of a number of BOP packages
- Least Interfacing related issues between sub systems, thereby faster
commissioning
- Shorter ordering cycle time of sub systems
- Flexibility during engineering for design changes without affecting
overall schedule
- Flexibility in Vendor selection
- Simpler co-ordination requirement – One point contact. Minimum staffing required from end user organization
- Parallel progress of work on all fronts in BOP Areas
- Enforceable Guaranteed Plant performance – Stiff Penalties that are
levied as percentage of total package cost is a big deterrent
BGR Energy advantage
- Strong presence in Major Utilities in India – leadership position
achieved through successful execution of large projects
- Turnkey project design & execution capability
- In house Design & Engineering Expertise for Civil & Structures,
Mechanical, Electrical and C&I works
- In house Design & Engineering of major system components: Chimney,
Cooling Towers, Coal Handling Plant, WT Plant, OLTCS etc
- Latest CAD tools & analytical software
- ERP compliant
- Strong Project Management & Execution team
- Intellectual asset – Power plant engineering & interfacing experience
- More than 750 man years of power plant experienced engineering team
- Technology oriented – In house products with leading collaborators in
the world
Typical Scope The typical BOP scope also includes complete System Integration of the
Power Island, detailed power plant engineering with the various
auxiliaries and equipment in the BOP package.
