Execution
Turning concept into reality through leading project management
Safety first
Paramount to KBR is our shared commitment to people and the environment. We place the health, safety and wellbeing of our people and those working on our projects at the centre of our delivery approach.
Safety management is critical on a mining project to keep people safe, eliminate incidents, maintain optimum compliance, and enhance productivity. A proactive and effective safety management program is necessary to identify, assess, and control these risks and hazards and ensure success.
KBR applies a Zero Harm 24/7 approach which is a comprehensive safety program that emphasises leadership commitment, risk management, employee engagement, continuous improvement, incident reporting and investigation, contractor safety, and environmental stewardship.
We’re able to offer our Zero Harm 24/7 approach to customers which includes a comprehensive suite of transactional (procedures, processes, policies, forms, standards, work instructions) and transformational (cultural and behavioural) tools to plan and execute safe projects. Our highly skilled safety professionals are also able to develop project specific programs drawing on our extensive experience of co-creating safety programs for some of the worlds largest mining and energy projects.

Data analytics
Through the application of data analytics, organisations can make smarter investment decisions, improve confidence in forecasting, and realise efficiencies in capital expenditure. However, translating data into action and insight can be challenging. The key to unlocking the potential of data lies in the three key principles of data integrity, quality and availability which provide the basis for a greater level of capital prudency, early intervention, and more accurate budgeting that creates as much as 10% reduction in spend across a capital planning period.
KBR supports organisations to harness the power of data to enhance decision making through the use of predictive analytics, machine learning and cognitive computing, to tackle complex program and asset challenges effectively, transforming data into an asset. Enabling customers to reduce capital expenditure, optimise operations and maintenance, and improve reliability and safety.
Cost intelligence
Visualising real-time costs enhances the estimating process and complements the review and approval process across the project lifecycle. Our Cost Intelligence framework is an end-to-end process underpinned by robust workflows and data capture practices.
Our data visualisations and dashboards provide real-time information for CAPEX, work hours, schedule, reliability and safety. While predictive analytics enables predictions to be made about project performance. In combination with machine learning, this becomes a powerful dynamic modelling tool that learns from experience and adjusts to predict the best course of action.

Scheduling
Proactive schedule management enables projects to be completed more efficiently, effectively, and with fewer delays and cost overruns.
We oversee schedule management for projects, including creating, maintaining and controlling the project schedule which involves the overall coordination of delivery, time, cost, quality and the management of risk in line with the project vision and objectives. This means we are able to deliver projects on time, within budget and to the required level of quality.

Commercial management
The driving philosophy of commercial management during the execution phase of a project is to ensure that the schedule is the highest priority and not put at risk, and that the best value for money is achieved, making sure that risks and change are astutely and proactively managed.
As a company who has a long history of managing every type of delivery and execution model on a national and international basis, KBR has the expertise and scalability to suit the required needs of any project.
Our commercial team is highly experienced in the development and review of commercial and contracting strategies, understanding the status of contracts and planning approaches for optimisation. We work closely with the project controls teams to ensure data is assimilated to provide a single source of truth, and support the review of execution methodologies and contracts.

Construction management
Construction activities vary from project to project, depending on the mineral resource being developed. It typically involves significant capital investment and can take several years to complete, depending on the size and complexity of the project.
KBR has a proud history of successfully managing the construction and commissioning of some of the most complex mining and energy projects in some of the most remote and difficult locations on the planet. Through this experience, we know that identifying and responding rapidly to situations and events that could delay or stall progress is critical to staying on track.
Whether it’s managing contractors, overseeing permits, gaining security clearances, or dealing with an array of other sensitive government, land, environmental or cultural issues, no project is too difficult for our seasoned construction managers. We ask the right questions, identify potential risks and mobilise quickly, deploying the right team with the right plan to achieve construction deadlines and production goals.
Commissioning
Commissioning is critical to ensuring that the mining operation can operate safely, efficiently, and in compliance with all regulatory requirements. It requires close collaboration between the construction team, operations team, and other stakeholders to ensure a smooth transition from construction to full-scale production.
Our seasoned commissioning professionals understand the unique difference between delivery models and can work closely with construction teams and delivery contractors to ensure strong coordination and interaction in supporting effective commissioning and sequence support for the successful planning, preparation, coordination and execution of the commissioning works.
