Experience. Quality. Precision. Total-Western’s Engineering & Construction Services bring confidence to every project.
As a seasoned industrial contractor, our design and construction expertise has been honed over a broad range of construction projects including piping, equipment repair and replacement, structural steel, excavation, civil, concrete, electrical, and instrumentation in petrochemical, power generation, heavy industrial, manufacturing, processing, mining and service facilities. In addition, we have a strong resume helping clients take their prototype technology to production scale in the renewables sector.
We can provide professional engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services of all types, with scopes ranging from small projects to turnkey installations.
Where applicable, we employ a progressive design-build approach, incorporating our construction team into the project during the design process. This enables us to provide valuable input and feedback at the most critical time of the project before construction begins.
With progressive design-build, we are able to:
- Streamline the budget development process by estimating in parallel with the design development, weighing out options to provide the best outcome for both capital construction costs as well as ongoing maintenance.
- Ensure that constructability reviews are done during the design process to eliminate waste and ensure we are approaching the design with safety in mind.
- Bring teams together to build a collaborative design that has incorporated contractor feedback throughout the process with all stakeholders, most importantly you as the owner.
- Collect feedback and engaged our knowledgeable vendors and contractor partners to ensure the design decisions factor in price, performance and schedule impacts
Benefits of this process include cost certainty, condensed scheduling and more flexibility for our clients.
A lean approach to construction
As an industrial contractor, we seek to redefine the term and transform it into a “One Team Mentality” – encompassing all other companies, the design team, trade partners, subcontractors, and the owner to best meet the needs of our clients.
Staying true to our PASS program and its doctrine of continuous improvement, Total-Western is using the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle and evaluating our processes at every level to provide maximum value to our business partners.
