Abstract |
Modularisation is
an important area that needs to be effectively
addressed in the construction of Alberta oil and gas
industry schedule. It is an effective way to get
partial construction done.
This paper examines modularization of projects
executed in Alberta oil and gas industry
for effective projects
schedule performance.
A qualitative research methodology was employed in
investigating the modularization used for the
Alberta projects.
Interviews were conducted with industry
practitioners, which contained open - ended
questions and data were also collected from COAA/CII
database.
The research found higher average percentage overall
modularization to total project cost of the Alberta
oil and gas projects. This method has the potential
to contribute to a reduction in cost and schedule
overruns and improves project performance.
It is concluded that the results of the study will
help in leveraging the benefits of modularization
that have already been gained by the various oil &
gas projects in Alberta to improve project schedule
performance.
