Civil Works: In-Depth Knowledge in Building and Concrete Construction
Turnkey services focus on creating sustainable, economical, and ecological solutions for greenfield and brownfield projects. Turnkey services offer customer-oriented support for the following areas: civil engineering and construction, steel structures, building technologies (HVAC), fire protection, cranes and transport systems, corrosion protection and insulation, wastewater treatment, utilities, installation planning, and complete construction site management.
Primetals Technologies provides you with various models for turnkey order execution:
EPC Self-Performing: Primetals Technologies takes the contract as the general contractor for Engineering / Procurement / Construction, being responsible for the overall project management of the process plant, turnkey services, and turnkey equipment, providing its engineering and complete sub-supplier management
EPC Partnering: When a customer contract is jointly signed with a consortium partner, a split of responsibilities is defined within the consortium.
Turnkey Service Model: In the EPCM model (Engineering / Procurement / Construction / Management), two separate contracts are signed: a supply contract for the process plant and an EPCM contract for the balance-of-plant facilities.

A primary focus is the high energy-saving potential of utility systems by transforming a waste product—e.g., water/gas output—into an optimal input for another process.
Piping Standardization
To coordinate various departments and engineering partners during piping engineering and process a large amount of data, we developed computing systems and piping standardization. Piping standardization includes basic and detailed piping specifications, valve specifications, branch tables, component standards, and order specifications for all piping materials and valves. The standards are maintained per DIN/EN and others, e.g., GOST. The customized RODIKS software supports material take-off for each pipeline, handling of piping material orders, and all types of lists and site management.
Installation Planning and Site Management
For installation planning, site management, and site monitoring, our professional handling of the site ensures the quality of the plant and guarantees adherence to both budget and schedule. Our staff is well trained regarding health and safety issues. Compliance with international, local, customer, and company regulations is mandatory and is assessed regularly.
We cover the full range of Site Management services, including installation company assessment, project handover, EHS regulations, site mobilization, administration, on-site cash and bank accounts, site reporting, status reports, scheduling, S-curve project management, nonconformance report (NCR) and change management, invoice verification, cost management, cash and bank reporting, timesheets, site attendance, site impressions—e.g., photos—, and project closing.
