Ballard Marine Construction Engineering & Design Enhanced
Engineering & Constructability Support
Underwater and marine engineering support with an Early Contractor Involvement approach to integrate construction means, methods and schedule into project design.
Description
Ballard's underwater and marine engineering and technical staff support engineering partners and clients during project development. Its Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) approach eases the transition from pre-construction to construction by bringing key construction-phase personnel into the design process.
Key features
- Construction means, methods and schedule integrated into the design
- Continuity between pre-construction work plans and the construction team
- Collaboration with design teams, owners and regulatory agencies, aimed at limiting change orders
Applications
Referenced projects include Strontia Springs Dam ERDS Rehabilitation, Wolf Creek Essential Discharge Pipe Installation, Rock Creek Toe Void Repair, Lake Vermilion Dam, Chili Bar Dam Low Level Outlet Gate Replacement and Butterfield Water Treatment Plant Intake Screen Installation.
