Project Management
Capital projects and rebuilds managed start to finish.
On a rebuild or a capital project, BSI is the mill representative. We run the project on the mill's behalf: the plan, the schedule, the contractors, and the scope. The mill keeps one point of accountability instead of managing four vendors who each answer for their own piece.
The work starts months before the outage does. BSI makes sure the mill has everything it needs when the window opens, from helping order long-lead components to building the schedule the job runs on. Once the work begins, BSI manages the contractors on site, verifies the scope is executed as written, tracks what changes and what it costs, and closes the project out with documentation the mill can hold on to.
What is covered
What BSI runs on a project.
- Advance planning and scheduling
- Scope broken into sequenced work and a schedule built months out, around the outage window and the resources actually available. The plan is set before anyone is on site.
- Component ordering support
- Helping the mill identify and order long-lead components early, so parts are staged and on site when the window opens instead of holding up the job.
- Contractor coordination and oversight
- One point of contact holding the contractors to the plan. Sequencing, interfaces between crews, and the daily calls that keep the work moving.
- Scope and change management
- Changes get documented, priced, and approved before the work happens. Nothing lands on the mill as a surprise at the end of the job.
- Budget tracking support
- Committed and spent tracked against the plan as the project runs, so the mill knows where the number stands while there is still time to act on it.
- Progress reporting
- Written reporting on where the work is against the schedule, what is holding, and what is coming next.
- Closeout and documentation
- Punch list worked to completion, and the drawings, records, and repair documentation handed over in a form the mill can file and use later.
How BSI works
Three steps, every project.
Plan the work and the schedule
Define the scope, sequence it, and build a schedule the contractors can be held to. Risks and long-lead items get identified here, not in the outage.
Run the project in the field
BSI is on site with the work. Contractors are coordinated day to day, scope is verified as it is executed, and changes are handled as they come up.
Close out and hand over
Punch list completed, final scope verified against what was issued, and documentation turned over to the mill.
The mill gets one report and one person answerable for the project.
Why BSI
Why mills hand BSI the project.
Project managers who know boilers
The person running your project has been in these units. Scope questions get answered on the deck instead of routed back to engineering.
One point of accountability
BSI holds the plan, the schedule, and the contractors. The mill does not have to reconcile four versions of where the job stands.
Working for the mill, not the contractor
We do not perform the repair work we oversee. Scope verification and change management come back honest because there is nothing in it for us either way.
