DESIGN
Establishing your Project Specifications
JDI leads the integration of your design team, so that together we design and engineer all aspects of your project, down to the last technical detail.
The Design phase establishes your comprehensive project specifications; every detail is calculated, drawn, and planned.
We’ll support your integrated design effort, where together we:
-
Form, lead, and facilitate a team composed of resources from multiple firms, using an integrated design process
-
Add and integrate gap resources as required to maintain project schedules
-
Specify all project deliverables, and provide and maintain oversight to ensure design compliance
-
Establish detailed schedules, budgets, and designs
-
Define and delineate the project’s scope, including a list of major equipment
-
Initiate Construction phase planning and define inputs
-
Develop and initiate a procurement management plan
-
Identify appropriate review cycles and performance milestones
-
Integrate and support permitting and engineering completion
-
Provide and load project budget and information tracking systems
-
Establish project cash flow management plans
-
Maintain a comprehensive project schedule for all stakeholders
In the Design phase, your project becomes tangible, with specifications, drawings, costs, and sometimes trade-offs.
Constructability reviews help increase your project’s engineering value and identify potential problem areas. Throughout the process, JDI helps you sort out the real issues, solve problems, and implement practical solutions that work.
CONSTRUCTION
Building to your Design
JDI leads an integrated stakeholder team through all of your constructionrelated activities. We’ll keep you and your team informed, safe, and working together, so you know what’s happening on your project every step of the way.
JDI Contracts Inc. turns your complex plans and drawings into brick, mortar, and steel.
With JDI at the helm, each step in your project is tightly integrated to optimize the project schedule and reduce field costs. Our road map uses industry experience, detailed planning, and a team approach to deliver your project as designed and specified.
During the Construction phase, we’ll lead your integrated field stakeholder team, set up sequential and parallel construction activities, and get your project done. In this phase, we:
-
Manage construction and related field activities with a complete implementation plan and integrated technical package
-
Assemble all technical drawings, specifications, and other information required for bid packages
-
Establish clear procedures for those areas impacted by construction, including safety, environmental, hygiene, and site access
-
Establish protocols for communication between operating and construction entities
-
Establish reporting relationships and performance milestones for the Construction phase
-
Integrate scheduling for all stakeholders
-
Implement the materials and site management plan
-
Support bid development, contractor selection, and work release
Safety and Environmental Compliance are Critical
Our goal is a zero incident safety and environmental record, and our commitment starts long before field activities begin. As part of our full-service approach to project management, we offer safety training, advisement, and audit services for all field activities.
CHECKOUT & STARTUP
Placing your Project Into Service
JDI manages the crucial transitions of your startup efforts with good communication, clear goals and objectives, solid planning and coordination, and removal of roadblocks before they happen.
The JDI Checkout & Startup team gets your project into operation. During the Checkout & Startup phase, the project budget and schedule are nearly expended. Multiple contractor and owner teams are at peak manpower, doing many different things in the same space and time. Bottlenecks emerge, extending construction and interest payments, delaying production, and preventing revenue generation.
Our leadership team works to mitigate risks using our expertise in 24/7 checkout efforts. We tightly integrate and facilitate disciplinespecific construction completion, equipment checkout, and function and sequence testing, all within the constraints of your schedule.
In the Checkout & Startup phase, we’ll help you get your project into service, where we:
-
Complete and implement an integrated checkout and startup plan
-
Complete operations training in preparation for checkout and startup
-
Perform all quality control inspections to ensure contractor compliance with design specifications
-
Facilitate contractor punch list management
-
Complete checkout on all mechanical, electrical, and control systems to ensure functional compliance
-
Complete audit documentation of equipment function testing results
-
Turn over site control to Operations with completed checkout and startup certifications
-
Support full sequence and safety testing according to pre-defined operational requirements
-
Support on-going transition to continuous operations through compliance, performance, and reliability testing
-
Complete final turnover punch lists and update all project construction documents to a final record set
