Project Delivery

IMPLEMENTING EXCELLENCE THROUGH IPD

Transparency, efficiency, and collaboration meet in our integrated approach to complex project delivery.

Committed to transparency, precision, and efficiency

Our approach is built on the principles of Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), a collaborative method that aligns the interests of all stakeholders to achieve exceptional project outcomes. Through IPD, we have become industry leaders in North American engineering services while consistently delivering complex projects with precision and efficiency. IPD is a revolutionary approach to engineering services that fosters professional collaboration from the outset.

Unlike traditional project delivery methods, IPD brings together the owner, engineers, architects, contractors, and other key stakeholders to work as an integrated team. This collaborative environment enables us to minimize risks, reduce inefficiencies, and deliver unparalleled value to our clients.

Your Guide to Project Delivery and IPD

While IPD is particularly beneficial in industries such as construction, healthcare, and education, its collaborative principles can be adapted to a wide range of sectors where teamwork and innovation are crucial.

Strong leadership, clear communication, trust among all parties, and a commitment to shared goals and collaboration from project outset to final delivery.

While IPD is often associated with large, complex projects, its principles can be scaled to suit smaller projects as well—especially when collaboration, efficiency, and adherence to technical details are priorities.

IPD is designed to be flexible, allowing for more efficient change management and budget clarity as projects evolve. Its collaborative nature ensures that changes are discussed and addressed quickly, minimizing disruptions.

PROJECTS

Line 3 Decommissioning

For the Line 3 Replacement Program, Plex managed the engineering and project management for the Canadian decommissioning of 1,100 km of pipeline. Plex’s scope included front-end and detailed engineering, construction support, procurement, contractor management, and NEB application development, along with expert witness support. The team also provided stakeholder engagement, decommissioning standards, and coordinated environmental and safety protocols, ensuring a smooth decommissioning process.

Cheecham Corridor Relocation Abandonment Plan

The Cheecham Corridor Relocation Project (CCR) involved relocating six pipelines near the Cheecham Terminal in Ft. McMurray. To meet regulatory requirements, Plex’s founders applied a risk-based approach, conducting a thorough review of standards and performing a detailed risk assessment. Using the clients Risk Management Matrix, the team defined a cost-effective abandonment plan, optimizing public safety, environmental protection, and regulatory compliance throughout the pipeline abandonment process.
