Weak interface ownership
Many EPC issues arise between civil, electrical, mechanical, grid and control scopes. Interface matrices and decision ownership should be active documents, not tender-stage formalities.
Late commissioning planning
Commissioning risk grows when test procedures, energization sequences and acceptance criteria are created too late. Early readiness reviews protect schedule and asset quality.
Incomplete handover evidence
Owners need test results, as-built records, protection settings, O&M manuals and punch-list closure evidence that can support reliable operation years after takeover.
Consultant Field Note
In real plant reviews, the most useful conclusion is rarely a single KPI. It is the connection between test evidence, alarms, operator logs, grid events and the corrective action that can be executed without creating new reliability risk.
