The challenge

What is at stake.

Missing the capacity year means penalties and lost revenue. Turbine delivery, gas pipeline connection and transmission upgrades all sit on or near the critical path, and the EPC's monthly report does not show the owner how close each is.

Our role

What we are doing.

Beck Franklin's role: owner's schedule review. We advise and measure; the contractor builds.

01

Monthly review

We review each EPC schedule update for logic, progress and lost float.

02

Three key paths

Turbine delivery, gas connection and transmission upgrades are tracked as separate paths.

03

Capacity date check

Every review ends with a clear view on whether the capacity date is at risk.

04

Owner briefings

The owner's leadership receives a one-page briefing each month.
