+ Chemical Products Manufacturer

Situation: Client was embarking on a multi-billion dollar, multi-year expansion project to increase production capacity and position itself as the largest producer in North America.

Issue: This was the first expansion of this magnitude for the client in over 10 years. Ninety percent of the organization's project team was not involved in the previous expansion.

Need: The client needed to augment its internal project team with dedicated personnel who were experienced in capital project execution.

Solution: PPMG provided management and reporting solutions in project controls and procurement team leadership to develop contract strategies, lead vendor negotiations, and engineer equipment oversight.

Result: PPMG provided schedule and cost efficiencies to maximize vendor productivity that eliminated millions of dollars in potential change orders and a longer project duration.
