About the sector
On an industrial build the structure is the easy part. Hivenox holds the construction programme against the process installation and commissioning sequence, so the handover date and the first-production date are the same conversation.
The building is not the deliverable. Production is.
What the programme is up against
Process before structure
Plant layout and equipment dictate the building, not the other way round.
Client-supplied equipment
Dates you do not control sitting on a critical path you own.
Commissioning sequence
Wet and dry commissioning stacked into the last weeks of the programme.
Production ramp
Practical completion means nothing until the line runs at rate.
The challenge
The construction programme and the process installation programme were maintained separately. Client-supplied equipment arrived against dates nobody had reconciled with the build, and the ramp-up plan assumed a handover that the commissioning sequence could not support.
The approach
How Hivenox and its AI Workers are designed to run a programme like this, on one record. A person approves, rejects or queries every decision.
- 01
One sequence
Delivery Assurance is designed to hold construction, installation and commissioning as a single critical path.
- 02
Equipment dates reconciled
Procurement & Supply is designed to track client-supplied and contractor-supplied equipment against the same programme.
- 03
Layout drives the build
Design & BIM is designed to tie plant layout changes to the structural and services packages they affect.
- 04
Ramp visible early
Executive & Portfolio is designed to report against first production, not practical completion.
An AI Worker in action
A worked example of the check the Delivery Assurance AI Worker is designed to run: connected sources, a comparison, a flagged risk and a decision sent to a person.
