What is at stake.
Process modules are fabricated in overseas yards and shipped in a limited marine delivery window. Late modules mean a missed window and months of delay. The offtake contract has a fixed start, and the owner needs a forecast that reflects real fabrication progress, not yard optimism.
How we control it.
What our schedulers and cost engineers are doing on this project.
Yard progress checks
Module fabrication progress is measured against earned value rules at the yards, not taken from the fabricator's percent complete.
Marine window logic
Load-out, sailing and set dates are tied to each module, so a late module shows its effect on the whole site.
Commissioning plan
Systems are tracked from mechanical completion through precommissioning, commissioning and performance testing.
Risk analysis
Monthly Monte Carlo analysis gives P50 and P80 first production dates for the board and the offtaker.
Where it stands.
A fabricator's percent complete is a hope. Earned value measured in the yard is a fact.
