Project control, and contract services

Oversight is required across the whole scope of construction and power generation projects to keep accountabilities, as well as schedule and cost performance target realization. Key aspects of projects, regardless of size, which must be controlled and planned are presented in next pages. By no means is this a comprehensive list, but it is provided to give an overview and some clarity to the complexity of power generation programs and the multi-faceted and inter-connected features which must be managed and balanced for successful outcomes and completion within budgetary and time constraints.

One of the major engineering services offered by PT. ALBANY is that of representative to the ultimate owner of the project who bears the burden of risk of non-completion and further risk by technical mishaps and quality control and assurance issues.
