ECI and Optimisation Services (Early Contractor Involvement):

Warrikal understands the significance of Early Contractor Involvement. ECI refers to a project delivery approach where this division can be engaged, early in the planning and design phases of any new or existing project, site and or process. This proactive engagement allows Warrikal to leverage the expertise and experience within our team to optimise and drive project outcomes to the highest standard.

The Benefits of ECI With Warrikal Include:

Early identification and resolution of construction challenges: By involving our team early in the project, we can deliver access to our teams invaluable insights and experiences. Warrikal can provide input on constructability issues, logistical constraints, and potential risks specific to the site, asset or objective. This early identification of challenges enables Warrikal to address them proactively, reducing potential disruptions during construction & execution.
Value engineering and cost optimisation: Warrikal understands that our expertise can contribute to value engineering efforts in multiple functions. We can work to suggest alternative methodologies or innovative industry techniques, that enhance project value while optimising cost and timings. By involving our team early on, we can capitalize on these cost-saving opportunities and ensure efficient budgeting and financial planning.
Streamlined project planning and scheduling: With our ECI input during the early stages – Warrikal can facilitate optimised approaches to; project planning, scheduling, and sequencing of execution activities. Our team can provide insights into the most effective construction/executable sequence, project phasing, and equipment/resource utilisation. This collaborative planning helps Warrikal to minimize potential delays, improve project efficiency and ensure timely mining operations – all whilst maintaining the highest and most efficient safety and execution standards in planning.
Enhanced collaboration and stakeholder engagement: ECI promotes a collaborative environment among Warrikal, contractors, designers, and other project stakeholders. Through open communication, information sharing, and joint decision-making, the ECI process fosters improved collaboration and coordination. This ensures that all parties are aligned, reducing conflicts and promoting successful project outcomes.
