Deliver a complex industrial plant within a 13-month timeline.
This project was the construction of a galvanizing plant, carried out in design-build while several design elements were still moving as the jobsite advanced.
Based on an industrial concept from Italy, it called for close coordination between the professionals, the client's operational needs and the technical stages of building the plant.
On a mandate like this, keeping the work moving while the design is still developing is what protects the overall schedule.
That is the approach Koncret put in place to let the jobsite advance quickly while keeping a rigorous work structure.
The challenge
In design-build, parts of the design keep moving while the work is already underway.
On this galvanizing plant, waiting for every plan and technical document to be fully finalized before starting would have meant serious delays and a much slower project.
So the stake was to find a way to:
- keep the jobsite moving
- coordinate the professionals well
- prioritize the right construction steps
- advance the work without giving up quality or technical logic
That kind of context takes very structured management, plus the ability to reshuffle the work sequence fast as the file actually develops.
To keep the pace up, Koncret set up a progressive approach that let certain design and execution phases advance in parallel.
The team coordinated:
- the priority technical information needed to start the work
- the progressive release of the critical structural elements
- the foundations and the priority work
- constant adjustments to the jobsite sequence as the design evolved
That kept any single design step from holding up the whole project, and kept the professionals and the field teams moving together.
The project succeeded on the quality of execution as much as on organizing the jobsite's priorities well in a context that kept changing.
With that approach, Koncret kept an active jobsite through the complexity of the mandate and the many technical changes made along the way.
Among the results:
- the plant delivered complete in 13 months
- a smoother handoff between design and execution
- fewer slowdowns tied to technical coordination
- the schedule held despite an evolving design
- quality of execution the client praised
Past the delivery time, this project really shows what a management method can do: move a complex jobsite forward without losing hold of the priorities, the people or the quality.
