EPC skills and experience to bear, developing the right
execution strategy, and then delivering on time, safely,
cost effectively, and right first time. Right through the
life of your asset we can provide the right support, from
turnarounds and brownfield projects through to long term
asset support, performance improvements, through to
late life planning and decommissioning.

We have a track record of continual

improvement and innovation in brownfield
engineering projects.
This track record is based on four key factors:
Having the best engineers, project managers, and
tools & systems

Do less. For less. With less. Get more.

30% - 60% efficiency

improvements for
modifications.

Long term working relationships with our customers

and understanding their requirements
The sharing of lessons learned and innovation
between contracts
Our commitment to continual improvement in
engineering and project delivery systems enhancing
project predictability
Effective programme and risk management through
well-integrated project controls and reporting using our
Business Management Suite which has evolved over many
years.

Commissioning and
completions
qedi, global leaders in completions and commissioning
management, underpinned by technology are
differentiated by intimate involvement in all phases of
the project life cycle. Experience gained in conceptual
engineering, detailed and follow-on engineering,
construction, hook-up, commissioning and operations
and maintenance on engineer, procure, construction
management (EPCm) and operations & maintenance
(O&M) contracts gives us a deep insight into what makes
a facility easy to construct, simple to commission, and
safe and efficient to operate and maintain. This knowledge
informs our designs.

Industry challenges, and a rising cost base, has exerted

significant pressure on ongoing oil and gas operations.
Some time ago we recognised the need for a change,
which we now deliver through implementing our proven
methodologies.
