The Tenet design team had to quickly appraise themselves with the contents of the tender specification and scope of work documents and engage in early dialogue with key stakeholders.  Tenet’s familiarity of the Capenhurst site and in-depth knowledge of implementing UUK procedures and standards enabled this to be conducted quickly and efficiently.

Since the project scope encompassed design of both temporary and permanent lighting and power distribution installations, it was important to have a clear and comprehensive understanding of the location and environment in which the new nitrogen system was to be installed. This required conducting extensive site survey activities and working with the client to ensure that the plan and elevation drawings of the plot were as accurate as possible. Tenet was able to accurately identify the location of key existing equipment, power supplies, cable runs and containment methodology, which prevented the need for any further rework to the design impacting cost or schedule.

This was developed to a level where the design could be handed over to a third party to procure necessary equipment and carry out installation works without any prior knowledge of the project. This provided the client with the flexibility to place the next phase of the project on hold indefinitely until such time that suitable funds were made available to progress.

Due to our ability to deliver high quality design services to cost and to schedule, Tenet were subsequently awarded a direct engineering design framework agreement. With this contract in place, we are able to support client in managing the EC&I design elements of further asset care, plant life extension, process improvement and building infrastructure modification projects. This was promoted by positive customer feedback from the Capenhurst project management community.
