PROJECT MANAGEMENT
IDENTIFICATION STUDIES
Conception of engineering projects in cases where there is no previous information. The strength lies in extensive field work of recognition, always carried out by a team of experts with a multidisciplinary approach. The lifting of demands and social perceptions is a key task that is carried out in all cases. It concludes with a conceptual engineering, a detailed risk analysis and the definition of long-term negotiation strategies to make the project viable.
ALTERNATIVE FEASIBILITY STUDIES
Cartographic and topographic studies with different resolution, geological and geotechnical, hydrological with assessments of the impact of climate change, urban and demographic, water demand, social, productive and environmental baselines. Identification and conceptual analysis of as many alternatives as possible to define to execute a project. For each option, pre-engineering designs are performed, risks, environmental impacts are identified and the induced future is defined. Approximation of investment, operation and maintenance costs. The respective economic and financial evaluations are then carried out. It concludes with the selection of the best project option that must be taken to the level of constructive design for its execution.
CONSTRUCTION DESIGNS
IA has extensive experience in the definition of projects at the construction level, with several dozens of work plans duly supported by field studies and calculation reports. Rigorous metric calculations and analysis of specific unit prices allow us to define reliable reference budgets. Drafting of technical specifications by item, to eliminate ambiguous interpretations. Environmental impact assessment and environmental licensing process until approval.
BIDDING AND ACQUISITIONS
Previous definition of reference prices always with the necessary support. Technical advice on tendering and awarding of projects and on the purchase of materials and special equipment. Negotiation to obtain the signing of contracts based on impartial bases and verifiable indicators.
SUPERVISION OF PROJECT EXECUTION AND COMMISSIONING
Planning of the execution of the projects. Definition of the minimum logistics required to finish in term. Real-time assessments of physical progress using the PERT methodology and continuous definition of corrective measures. Rigorous control of financial progress. Systematic quality control in the verification of materials and special equipment purchased from the factory. For the execution of hydraulic works in situ the development of programs of statistical analysis to ensure the quality almost in real time stands out. Project design adjustments when necessary, with specialized equipment in parallel to achieve continuity in the execution of the works.
One of the strengths of IA is its determination to assure the testing of the different hydraulic facilities and constructed works, to deliver the projects in operation.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Current hydraulic and sanitary engineering projects consistently include an automation component. The skills required to operate and maintain projects during transitional stages are available until local operators have been properly trained.
