Dynamic Innovative Approaches

DPS brings experience and fresh thinking to each project challenge. These are the qualities that set us apart:

Quality over quantity

Appointing quality people and deploying effective systems allows us to do more with less.

Quality is essential in our end-product, our solutions, and in all that we do.

Engineering First

We engineer the technical solution first, ensure it is executable, and then deploy project management to guide it.

Close client engagement

Our senior staff consult at the strategic and operational level and remain personally engaged from the conceptual stage to delivery.

Comprehensive resourcing

Skilled resources may be scarce, but we access our network of professionals to deliver the specialist skills the project requires.

Inherent industry understanding

Our knowledge and experience enhance the quality and accuracy of each study phase: the key to getting it right first.

Customized solutions

One size does not fit all - each client deserves a unique solution structured to specific needs.

Flexible project execution

We review each project phase to improve the understanding of the specific solution required. If a

Building long-term relationships

Realistic throughout the Whole project lifecycle

Expertly Developing Project Phases

Multi-disciplinary services for successful projects

DPS follows globally accepted engineering and project management standards. But that alone is not innovative.

There are four main reasons why we do it better.

Primarily, we always view the project in its entirety; having a holistic assessment is essential to innovation and effective problem-solving.

This ensures a product that meets expectations and fits its purpose. Then, a skill that can only be mastered with experience knows when to focus on which project element or activity.

We save our clients time and frustration by helping them to prioritize. Finally, experience has given us an accurate gauge of how much detail is essential to each project phase.

This comes through in the accuracy of our studies, engineering, and design.

The value that these four strengths add during the front-end study phases becomes visible in the benefits realized after execution, namely project success and return on investment.

CONCEPTUAL STUDY

Exploring an idea- An investment concept is proposed.

Basic testing and investigation develop the concept into a potential opportunity.

Preliminary engineering tells us if there is a case for further development.

PRE-FEASIBILITY STUDY

Developing the investment opportunity- The proposed investment opportunity takes shape as we define and analyze its potential.

A full comparative evaluation is made of the available options, giving rise to one preferred option.

This phase requires basic engineering and defining of deliverables.

FEASIBILITY STUDY

Demonstrating viability- We build a business case around the preferred option, proving its technical and economic viability.

A risk profile determines if there is sufficient confidence to proceed to execution.

A go/no-go decision is made.

Our expertise in detailed engineering and defining deliverables is applied here to guide decision-making.

PROJECT EXECUTION

Managing, directing, and delivering

Set-up and mobilization- Following approval for the project to proceed, we facilitate project execution planning, scheduling, and resources in preparation for implementation.

We invest the appropriate amount of time in establishing the processes, procedures, and project controls that will be critical to effective management at implementation.

Implementation- The focus moves from planning to action, through detailed engineering, procurement, construction, and contracting, culminating in the handover of the facility.

Start-up of operations- The appropriate resource capacity is put in place for production ramp-up and effective operation of the facility.

Post-investment review- After delivery, the project's key performance indicators are reviewed from the perspective of return on investment and strategic objectives achieved.

Advanced Engineering Design and Consulting

DPS’s engineers provide full multi-disciplinary conceptual, basic detailed engineering design and consulting services.

Where appropriate, we use widely accepted industry practices and processes as a foundation but always differentiate our service by the level of detail and our fresh way of approaching challenges.

The result: accurate, quality work and innovatively engineered solutions that are fit for purpose.

Added value:

We quickly build an understanding of the essence of client specifications and standards.

This ensures that project-specific design criteria are based on client learnings applied to the particular challenge, backed up by current industry knowledge.

Our engineers assist with troubleshooting, simulation analysis, de-bottlenecking, and system optimization, providing operational support to clients at existing installations.

We obtain client approval on firm scope of work documentation that specifies battery limits and tie-in points, continuing to guide engineering development through client design reviews.

This allows us to measure progress accurately and manage scope changes effectively.

In each area of competency, from developing design criteria, specifications, 3D models, plant layouts, and drawings, to schedules, bills, technical inquiries, or compiling estimates, we continually review our work and challenge how we measure ourselves to ensure quality.

Detailed Planning and Time Management

The project scope of work and deliverables are allocated to appropriate work packages based on the work breakdown Structure.

The activities required to complete the scope and deliverables are identified at the relevant level for planning the particular phase of the project.

We develop a project schedule aimed at meeting predetermined milestones through the allocation of adequate resources to finalize activities in time.

We complete the project execution plan during the set-up and mobilization phase, ready to guide the project at the implementation outset.

Resource Estimation

• • • • Establishing resource requirements and availability
      • Conduct resource leveling with histograms

Duration Estimation

• • • • Determining production levels by evaluating market indicators to arrive at realistic time frames
      • Evaluating various scenarios through simulation to determine schedule contingency

Schedule Development

• • • • Identifying the critical path
      • Reviewing the cost impact of fast-tracking critical items
      • Developing the most realistic schedule to match the scope and execution model

Schedule Control

• • • • Incorporating the change management procedure on an ongoing basis to accurately forecast the impact of
      • any changes before they are implemented
      • Progress reporting and forecasting of ongoing activities to ensure timely corrective action
      • Earned Value Analyses reporting to link capital expenditure and schedule progress
      • Forecasting expected final completion dates and likely scenarios through simulation of remaining activities

Accurate Project Estimates Cost Management

Budgeting is a specialized process that provides a quantitative estimate of the likely costs of the project elements.

Throughout the study phases, we use our past experience and the evolving information provided by our engineering processes to develop the budget and estimates for resources and activities.

After project approval, estimates are based on final project plans and the scope of work. These are further refined when actual tender information is available and construction commences.

Added value:

Cost Estimating

• • • • Incorporation of the Work Breakdown Structure into each
      • activity to enable scope definition, reporting, and reviews
      • Accuracy of quantities through engineering effort and rates obtained from market input
      • captured inappropriately defined procurement packages allocated to a Cost Breakdown
      • Structure Flexibility of reporting and analyses by capturing all items in a database
      • Review information is extracted from the central repository using pivot tables
      • Simple and effective presentation of relevant data enables informed decision-making

Cash Flow

• • • • Accurate cash flow, and ultimately financial models, is derived by linking the estimated data to the execution schedule through the use of the WBS-based data-capturing process

Contingencies and Allowances

• • • • By identifying and capturing the foreign exchange component of each activity, it is possible to analyze sensitivity to exchange rate fluctuations
      • Allowances to address the uncertainty in base data are derived using statistical analysis software to model expected variations of each cost item
      • Contingency values are based on the risk profile and likelihood of occurrence predicted for the execution period to arrive at a realistic contingency apportionment

Change Control

Change control is implemented from the base case budget to accurately identify the effect of any change and manage the outcome of the final project cost

Cost Control

Accurate cost control is achieved through diligent capturing of data at prescribed recurrence periods

Cost Reporting

Commitments, cash flow, and forecasting are captured per item on a monthly basis to understand trends and likely outcomes that allow timely intervention and corrective action

Consistent Quality Control, Risk Mitigation & Safety Management

Safety, Risk, and Quality Management planning and development of procedures are initiated during the study phases of the project, but plans and strategies are only effective when consistently applied through all phases of projects.

Added value:

We do not compromise on safety. In all aspects of our work, we consider it a priority and apply tools during construction, to ensure a safe environment for all.

Risk management is an essential part of proactive project management.

We focus on early project risk analysis, development of appropriate actions, contingency allocation, and progressive updates of the risk register.

This empowers the project manager and client to take early corrective action to risks identified for meeting project objectives.

Our passion for quality shines through in the extent to which we apply quality control throughout the project lifecycle.

Quality planning, assurance, monitoring, and control are performed to agreed standards, targeted to meet or exceed requirements.

This relates to all aspects of the project, including project management, engineering, procurement, construction, contracting and delivery.
