FULL PERFORMANCE GUARANTEED SOLUTIONS

Klean Industries can provide complete turn-key facilities. As market demands evolve, there is an increasing need for transparency in project costs. To address this, Klean is transitioning the majority of its projects to utilize a Design, Build, Contract (DBC) method, rather than the traditional Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Management (EPCM) approach.

While both DBC and EPC methods ultimately achieve the same goals, they differ in the order and manner in which tasks are completed. By focusing on thorough feasibility studies and engineering early in the project, stakeholders can better understand and control costs. This approach enables project owners to deliver superior results with less capital, in shorter timeframes, and with reduced risks.

From our experience, this method provides stakeholders with greater visibility and enhanced cost control throughout the project development process. The primary downside is that it requires a higher initial investment of both capital and time to work through design basics and project specifics before awarding construction contracts. However, the benefits are substantial. After successfully completing a project using the DBC format, many ask themselves, “Why didn’t we do this sooner?”

In traditional Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contracts, not much is known before engaging with the EPC contractor. As a result, significant learning often occurs after the contract has been signed. These unknown factors can lead to increased costs and project change orders, potentially resulting in delays. Consequently, EPC projects tend to be more expensive because initial estimates are typically just that — estimates. To ensure that a project is completed correctly and on time, the costs associated with these unknowns are added to the project owner’s budget. Since someone must cover these risks, EPC contracts are generally a more costly approach to project delivery in today’s cost-sensitive business environment.

However, for certain project-specific opportunities where timing is critical, Klean and/or our engineering partners may operate as an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management (EPCM) team. This approach is typically applied to projects where we have a strong presence on the ground, either individually or through our preferred EPCM partners. For these projects, Klean, in collaboration with its partners, handles all engineering tasks, purchases the necessary equipment, manages the construction using local labor, commissions the facility, and trains the operators. These projects are generally executed on a firm, lump-sum, non-escalating price basis. Klean provides the customer with a single point of responsibility for the entire project, including all performance and equipment warranties and guarantees. This structure is consistent for both Design-Bid-Build (DBB) and EPC contracts.

For a typical project, Klean assembles the Best Commercially Available Technology (BCAT) to meet our customers’ specific needs. Our approach allows us to evaluate standard industry technologies and apply them uniquely, which has enabled us to execute several groundbreaking projects successfully.
