Completing these kinds of projects, we have worked on four continents and within thirty plus countries where we have seen images of and are aware of some tragically inefficient working methods delivered by others. Regrettably, these other methods have exposed people and well equipment to needless time loss and damage.
Forefront and vanguard solutions
|
|
Integrity
- Striving to deliver only services, systems and products which actually fit in the space available and then will work effectively.
- Asking questions that others dare not raise, for fear of losing a larger part of the work scope.
- Describing things as we see them, even if it is contrary to our commercial interests.
- Challenging the established way of doing things where we believe there is more time or cost-efficient or ethical solutions.
- Intending to reduce on line critical path time to a minimum by using the right technical solution for the correct purpose.
- Reminding ourselves that the really boring parts of innovation and engineering differentiate success from failure.
- Admitting challenges, recognising the limits of our capabilities and knowing when to seek help from outside.

Intentions
- Insisting on capped and affordable limited liabilities.
- Challenging inefficient procurement practices.
- Challenging multi-person and time-consuming approval and re-qualification of already proven technology, services and applications.
- Informal, early, inclusive, time efficient, conclusive and non-legal resolution of apparently intractable problems.
