New decarbonization project by TotalEnergies to support flare gas recovery in the North Sea

As the demand for large-scale solar energy projects accelerates, the EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) process becomes critical for ensuring efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and long-term performance. Delivering a utility-scale solar project requires precise coordination across several phases, and each stage presents unique challenges and opportunities for optimization. Here are the essential methods and best practices that drive successful EPC execution for solar PV projects: 1️⃣ Detailed Feasibility & Design Comprehensive site analysis and feasibility studies form the foundation of a successful project. Factors like solar irradiance, land topology, environmental impact assessments, and grid connection points are vital in optimizing design. Preliminary engineering with advanced software ensures the right sizing of the plant, while detailed electrical designs and structural layouts are tailored to local conditions and regulatory requirements. 2️⃣ Efficient Procurement Strategies Partnering with reliable suppliers is key. Establishing relationships with manufacturers for PV modules, inverters, transformers, and trackers ensures timely delivery and cost control. Leveraging economies of scale and long-term supply agreements for high-quality components is crucial to minimize delays and enhance performance. 3️⃣ Streamlined Project Management & Construction Adopting an integrated project management approach with critical path scheduling (CPS) and the use of BIM (Building Information Modeling) enables real-time monitoring of construction progress. Ensuring efficient logistics, and deploying experienced teams for civil, mechanical, and electrical work, reduces risks during installation. Pre-assembly techniques and modular solutions are increasingly being used to speed up on-site construction while ensuring precision. 4️⃣ Quality Assurance & Testing Throughout the construction phase, stringent quality control is essential, including on-site testing of PV modules, grounding systems, and electrical components. Pre-commissioning testing ensures that all systems are installed correctly and functioning as designed before connection to the grid. 5️⃣ Commissioning & Grid Connection Once installed, the system undergoes final performance testing and calibration to ensure it meets both the technical specifications and local grid requirements. Coordination with local utilities and grid operators is essential for a smooth commissioning process, ensuring that the project starts generating power as quickly as possible. By adopting these methods, EPC contractors can ensure that utility-scale solar PV projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest standards of quality and performance. #SolarEnergy #UtilityScalePV #EPC #RenewableEnergy #ProjectManagement #CleanEnergy #Sustainability

A Master Document List (MDL) in a Solar EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) Project is a comprehensive list that contains all the documents required throughout the lifecycle of the project. This includes engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and handover documents. It ensures all parties involved are aware of the documentation status, and it provides a means for tracking and controlling document submissions, reviews, approvals, and revisions. #solar #solarepc

The Critical Element Behind Successful Projects: Field Leadership When we think about large-scale infrastructure or energy projects—building a wind farm, solar array, battery storage, substation, or transmission line—the focus often lands on the equipment or the technical design. But the truth is, one of the most significant risks to the success of these projects isn’t the technology or even the budget. It’s the quality of the leadership on-site, in the field. Recently, a friend of mine, who is the Project Manager on a large solar project, made a point that resonated: “The biggest risk to the success of any major project is the quality of the field leadership.” He’s right. Construction Managers, QA/QC professionals, Environmental Leads, and Safety Managers are the ones who ensure the plan is carried out smoothly, safely, and to the highest standards, often under immense pressure. Field leadership plays a significant role in keeping projects on track and preventing costly mistakes or delays. These leaders anticipate potential issues before they escalate and make critical decisions in real-time. They are a big part of why projects that cost hundreds of millions of dollars can stay on budget and meet deadlines. At Professional Solutions Group, we understand this well. Our mission has always been to provide expert field leadership. We don’t just place people—we provide professionals who help ensure everything is done right, from safety and quality assurance to environmental compliance and construction management. In the world of energy and infrastructure, success isn’t just about having the latest tools or the biggest budget. It’s about having the right people on-site to ensure every detail is executed properly. Field leadership is the steady force that helps ensure every wind turbine, solar panel, battery unit, or transmission line is installed correctly and safely. Next time you see a major project, consider what made that possible. It’s not just about the equipment. It’s about the leaders in the field who helped make it happen. I would love to hear your thoughts. #RenewableEnergy #FieldLeadership #Infrastructure

Justification of Rates has gone for a long holiday on the day Reverse Bidding introduced. We should ask ourselves how someone can do a batter job in a lower price without compromising anything and making profit. Strange. I found every word here, very true and support them. Once I got an opportunity to ask one Public Sector Employee to share how they control the quality of the L1 Bidder who quoted 35% below SOR rates. The Gentleman replied , If we fully control the quality, they leave at the midway. Ending us on the same loop of tendering to complete the job. He also mattered the fact that Justification of Rates not being in place making things going sideways. He clearly stated it's the policy here which need to changed. India is growing, adopting and making changes on the path. Let's hope for the best. May our policies change with time. Bring the Change.

Westcoast Aspen Point Program #pipelines#facilities#NEBC#oilandgas Project Background Westcoast Energy Inc. (Westcoast) filed an application with the Canada Energy Regulator for the Aspen Point Program Project (Project). The Project will increase the T-North system through the installation of more pipeline segments, electric drive compression, powerlines, metering facilities, and upgrades and/or modifications to existing compressor stations. The Project will consist of three new pipeline segments with a total length of up to about 18 (km) in northeast British Columbia (BC). The proposed three new pipeline segments are: Aitken Creek Pipeline Loop: a new nominal pipe size (NPS) 24 pipeline segment about 8.9 km in length that will loop the existing Aitken Creek Pipeline, within provincial Crown land, about 110 km northwest of Fort St. John, BC; Fort St. John Mainline Loop: a new NPS 36 pipeline segment about 6.4 km or 7.7 km in length (depending on the final routing of the Pine River crossing) that will loop the existing NPS 30 Fort St. John Mainline, within provincial Crown land, about 60 km northwest of Dawson Creek, BC; and CS-1B Connector: a new NPS 30 pipeline segment about 1.4 km in length that will connect the existing Fort St. John Mainline and Alberta Mainline with a tie-in to the planned new CS-1B at the junction with the Fort St. John Mainline, within freehold land and government road allowance, about 5 km south of Taylor, BC. The Project will include the addition of new electric drive compressor units and related infrastructure at the existing Mackie Creek (CS-N5) and Sunset Creek (CS-16) compressor stations, and a new station (CS-1B) located about 5 km south of Taylor, BC. The Project will also include the installation of three new overhead powerlines to provide power to the new electric drive compressor units. The lengths of these powerlines will largely follow existing linear infrastructure such as pipeline rights-of-way, powerline rights-of-way, and roadways. Electrical substations will also be installed within the boundaries of the three identified compressor stations to reduce the voltage from the incoming powerlines. If the Project is approved by the Commission, Westcoast plans to start construction 15 January 2025, aiming for a project-in-service date of 1 November 2026. The estimated cost of the Project is $1.2 billion Canadian dollars.
