Project Management

Capital projects are notoriously difficult to manage. Statistically, 98% of capital projects blow their budgets by 30% or more and 77% of projects run significantly over schedule by 45% or more.

Excellence in Execution

We are known for our excellence in project execution, continuous communication with all stakeholders, and consistently achieving 1st quartile project outcomes.

We are proud of our project statistics, 93% of our projects are within budget and 90.1% on schedule.

Having the right project execution methods and integrated suite of scalable and project-customizable tools ensures that we can execute 200–300 active projects simultaneously. Our project management experts follow multiple phase gate approaches to project development, depending on client preferences, and are increasingly using the Agile methodology to execute larger capital projects. The end results are reliable, durable, sustainable, and constructable designs.

Driving Successful Projects

Our project management team leverages a variety of attributes:

• Strong team of project managers, project leaders, project coordinators, cost engineers, and schedulers with the training and experience to lead and control projects of varying size and complexity.
• Variety of engineering delivery models from single-stage to multiple-stage gates with front end loading (FEL1, 2, 3) and detailed design.
• Established safety culture and processes that target zero safety-related incidents in the office and in the field.
• Established Project Services Quality System (PSQS) that integrates quality assurance activities with engineering and design to ensure high quality deliverables that meet client expectations.

Anvil's Agile Approach

Maintaining aggressive schedules on large capital projects can be challenging. Project teams find that traditional waterfall activity models sometimes fall short because teams often work independently and for long periods of time before discovering that a task or milestone cannot be completed as planned, leading to significant amounts of wasted effort, loss of schedule, and inefficiency. 

Our project team’s Agile approach addresses these challenges by using “sprints” in collaborative client-Anvil-subcontractor Agile scrum teams.
