Benefits of Integrated Capital Project Solutions

The ability to utilize one turnkey provider to solve maintenance and turnaround concerns across industrial cleaning, construction & mechanical and environmental services provides quantifiable benefits. Targeted benefits for our customers include reduced cost from synergies; abbreviated schedule; risk reduction and better communication through a centralized point of contact; and higher quality generated from having a complete understanding of the overall goals, concerns and intricacies of a project.

Cost Savings

As an asset owner, the ability to reduce costs or increase productivity on a turnaround or maintenance project, represents real bottom-line improvement. Integrated solutions from Miller deliver every time. In a tank renewal project, typically three or more contractors are engaged; a construction & mechanical company for repairs & replacements, an industrial cleaning company for the cleaning, and an environmental firm for waste oil & sludge removal. Add in a few more contractors for scaffolding, foundation work, coatings and linings — and now you’ve got 6+ teams of workers on your site. Each of those teams has a project manager, foreman and safety personnel involved in their scope of work for your project. With Miller Integrated Solutions the overhead requirements are reduced. The cost savings from having 3-5 upper-level specialists working on your project versus 12-15 has demonstrated 3-5% reductions to total project cost.

Reduce Lost Production Time

For many of Miller’s customers, production uptime is a critical metric. Every day a unit is out for maintenance could cost millions of dollars in lost production. Integrated solutions provided by Miller increase the efficiency of the project schedule because the same management team is working across the entire scope and has a full understanding of the project at the highest level and how all components of the project work in synchronization needed for successful completion. This alignment generates improved planning and scheduling of the project critical path resulting in optimized project completion.

One Point of Contact

Another benefit of Miller Integrated Solutions is having a single point of contact. As outlined above, the historical model for executing many of the projects within a plant entails hiring multiple firms to provide the various services needed, resulting in multiple points of contact. Important details like schedule or scope changes that occur in a project must be communicated multiple times between all the various parties. The result is better communication and more transparency.

Better Results

There is an old quote that states, “If your only tool is a hammer, you will treat all of your problems like a nail.” Because of the breadth of services Miller offers, we can provide unique solutions that our competitors in any service line may not consider. This is the result of the diversity provided by a workforce with experience in various individual disciplines, working together to achieve common goals. Because Miller has a vast cache of different tools available, we can generate creative solutions and better results.
