CASE STUDY:
Combined-Cycle Power Plant, Black & Veatch
Argentina
Value: $500 Million
Services: Disputes & Expert Testimony
PROBLEM
Major changes caused delays and disruptions that cost the power plant hundreds of millions in losses.
SOLUTION
Delta demonstrated how our client undertook numerous actions to mitigate the construction delays: worked out of sequence, added field engineers, accelerated construction by working overtime, and re-prioritized several aspects of the project in an attempt to alleviate the snowballing problems. The Delta team was able to establish that the original design deficiencies, numerous delays, scheduling disruptions and deficiencies, endless changes and other logistical issues caused the critical delay and disruption to the project.
OUTCOME
Both cases were settled favorably for Delta’s client and for the engineering and construction company.
