We provide turnkey marine engineering through EPC and design/build services, including procurement, construction, and commissioning.
With EPC services from S. T. Hudson, you can effectively manage project costs while getting complete turnkey marine engineering services. We handle the details for you, from the design concept to completed construction, providing an end result that will be functional at the time of delivery. The goal of our EPC and design/build process is to minimize costs and offer you an accurate and predictable timeframe.
We have an experienced and capable team of design engineers, construction managers, environmental specialists, hydrographers, and divers, in addition to project management and procurement staff to keep your engineering, procurement, and construction project moving.
Our integrated services are designed to save you money; using the right combination of people, tools, and resources, we successfully deliver your project. Communication is a key part of our process, both within the team and externally to our clients to ensure everyone is on the same page.
Our EPC process includes:
We have engaged S.T. Hudson’s services for the dredging of ferry slips, dredge disposal, design of fenders, pile clusters, and monopiles. S.T. Hudson also provides annual inspections of all marine facilities. I have found their engineers’ technical expertise to be above average to exceptional. Most recently, they added value to our projects through upper management’s subject matter expertise and regional connections with environmental officials to resolve problems.
Within an EPCM team it is advisable that the engineer hire and manage the contractor to maximize the leverage of the engineering firm to enforce sound engineering principles and standards in the construction of the project.
An EPCM team should be secured no later than after the FEED studies have been completed and approved and before detail design has begun.
Concerns about conflicts of interest in EPCM projects can be addressed by the introduction of an Owner’s Representative, usually a third-party engineering firm, that oversees the project and represents the owner’s interests.
