Uralelektrostroy Improves Turnaround Times for Engineering and Construction Projects by Approximately 50% with Better Project Data Management
- by Melissa Centurio Lopes
LLC Uralelektrostroy was established in 1998, to meet the growing demand
for reliable energy supply, which included the deployment and operation
of a modern power grid system for Russia’s booming economy and
industrial sector. To rise to the challenge, the country required a
company with a strong reputation and the ability to strategically
operate energy production and distribution facilities. As a renowned
energy expert, Uralelektrostroy successfully embarked on the
mission—focusing on the design, construction, and operation of power
grids, transmission lines, and generation facilities. Today,
Uralelektrostroy leads the Russian utilities industry with operations
across the country, particularly in the Ural, Western Siberia, and
Moscow regions.
Challenges:
Track work progress through all engineering project development
stages with ease—from planning and start-up operations, to onsite
construction and quality assurance—to enhance visibility into complex
projects, such as power grid and power-transmission-line construction
Implement
and execute engineering projects faster—for example, designing and
building power generation and distribution facilities—by better
monitoring numerous local subcontractors
Improve alignment of
project schedules with project owners’ requirements—awarding federal and
regional authorities—to avoid incurring fines for missing deadlines
Solutions:
Used Oracle’s Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management 8.1
to streamline communication with customers and subcontractors through
better data management and harmonized reporting, reducing construction
project implementation and turnaround times by approximately 50%, on
average
Enabled fast generation of work-in-progress reports that
track project schedules, budgets, materials, and staffing—from approval
and material procurement, to construction and delivery
Reduced
the number of construction sites by nearly 30% (from 35 to 25) by
identifying unprofitable sites—streamlining operations at the company’s
construction site network and increasing profitability
Improved
project visibility by enabling managers to efficiently track project
status, ensuring on-time reporting and punctual project deliveries to
federal customers to reduce delay penalties to zero
“Oracle’s Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management 8.1
drastically changed the way we run our business. We’ve reduced the
number of redundant assets, streamlined project implementation and
execution, and improved collaboration with our customers and
contractors. Overall, the Oracle deployment helped to increase our
