The Task

Flare tip replacement project

This complex project carried a great deal of risk due to heavy-lift-vehicle hire costs and possible start-up delay. Once the existing flare was removed, the platform was unable to produce again until the new flare was commissioned.

Our Approach

We carried out a risk workshop involving all construction activity stakeholders to anticipate and remove or mitigate the risks inherent in the plan. Each activity was considered in turn for possible disruptions and mapped onto the critical path. All stakeholders including vendors, heavy-lift-vehicle suppliers, rope access contractors were allocated clear responsibilities and ownership during the workshop.

The Result

The project was executed smoothly with the flare tip change-out being completed within the allocated shutdown window.
