On Time. On Spec. On Budget
Global performance strategy: A high standard of service at competitive cost
- Project Management: We use dedicated project management systems - Boccard Project Management System and BocTrack - to plan and monitor all phases of a fabrication project and ensure appropriate transparency and project visibility (Boccard Weld Unit Standard). These software applications ensure compliance with the customer’s priorities while providing sufficient flexibility in response to unexpected changes. The contract budget and delivery deadlines are also monitored using these software.
- Engineering: A centralized design and engineering office provides support for all production centers. It uses special-purpose software (Spoolgen; BocTrack; 3D Modelling, etc.). Piping system and support design and engineering.
- Supply Chain - Purchasing. Two main procurement centers, located in Houston (USA) and Geneva (Switzerland). BocTrade alliance. World-wide agreements with our manufacturing partners and suppliers.
- Manufacturing: Leader in manufacturing capacity, with permanent workshops in six countries, supported by mobile project-specific shops to comply with local content requirements and optimize costs and logistics. Our workshops are equipped with heat treatment systems (furnaces and machines) as well as blasting and painting facilities.
