AWP: Research & Development History

• 4 Year Academia-Industry Research Collaboration (CII - RT272)

• Industry Implementation Resource –3 volumes: IR272-2 – Advanced Work Packaging, Version 3.0

• Academic Publication on AWP from The University of Texas at Austin

• Implementation case studies & Validation

• CII RS319-1 – Making the Case for Advanced Work Packaging as a Standard (Best) Practice

Addressing the productivity challenge

A percentage point increase in productivity is worth $7 billion to the industry as a whole.

The industry is leaving big money on the table!

What is Advanced Work Packaging (AWP)?

“Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) is a work process framework fundamentally based on the idea of thinking with the end in mind. It is designed to allow engineering planning be driven by construction sequencing. Simply put, this is achieved by breaking down the project scope into Construction Work Packages that are fed with Engineering Work Packages.

How is that achieved?1. Extending PEPs to the front-end planning phase; "bringing the field

to the office" 2. A focus on field work packages/installation work packages as

project information units 3. Work packaging structure becomes the skeleton of the project; a

workface planner is dedicated to the management of these packages

4. The benefit of a common intuitive project language and tools

Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) Lifecycle Framework

Advanced Work Packaging Field Implementation

Inside a CWP...

CWP Content• Scope description and

constructability strategy • Safety Requirements • Various EWPs (at least one)• Schedule Requirements • Budget (labor

hours/cost/planned productivity rate)

• Quality Requirements • Special Resource Requirements

(tools, equipments etc.)

CWP Features• In line with the overall

construction plan • Typically aligned with a bid

package / multiple CWPs may form one larger bid package

• In alignment with project controls

• Measurable • As independent as possible

Inside an EWP

EWP Content• Scope of work with equipment

list • Drawings (e.g. general

arrangement and equipment installation)

• Installation and material specifications

• Vendor data • Bill of materials • Additional needed information

such as permitting studies, geotechnical studies etc.

• Connection Points Considerations

EWP Features• Release plan should be

aligned with the construction sequence and priorities

• Content should satisfy various stakeholders requirements

• Planning of EWPs requires construction input!!

• EWPs are discipline and area-driven; connections points expected

• Interface management should be accounted for

Inside an IWP

IWP Content• Scope of Work• Safety Requirements• QA/QC Requirements• Trade Coordination• Material Take Offs & Locations• Model Shots, Drawings and All

Other Necessary Engineering Information

• Scaffold Requirements• IWP Constraints • Any Other Information

Required to Install the Work

IWP Features• Reviewed and approved by the

supervisory team

AWP Implementation Roadmap - Level 1

Update corporate program

Implement AWP

Plan AWP implementation

Obtain AWP capabilities

Establish corporate AWP program

Assess current project delivery system effectiveness

Commit to implementing AWP

Productivity

• The relationship between AWP and field productivity is a result of the execution of IWPs that are constraint-free. Consequently, frontline personnel can focus exclusively on construction execution without wasting time on the retrieval of materials, engineering, and documentation.

• AWP brings high consciousness about space management. Movements around the field are minimized as crews are able to complete IWPs without interruptions.

• Higher involvement of superintendent and foremen in project execution, empowering crews to deliver IWPs scope with enhanced productivity.

• Reported 15% productivity increase • Reported rework rate below company average

Safety

• AWP and WFP formalize identification and mitigation of safety issues during planning and development of IWPs

• Early identification of potential construction risks during the initial planning stage, where all key project participants are involved

• Unnecessary movements around the site were minimized • IWPs close-out includes feedback and continuous improvement

on safety as a requirement.

• Projects implementing AWP achieved 0 DARTs
