Transparency, efficiency, and collaboration meet in our integrated approach to complex project delivery.
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.
Energy projects require complex planning that balances cost-effectiveness, environmental impact, and public safety. With all stakeholders and vendors working together, this plan can be created with an execution mindset.
Our scalable processes provide balanced and detailed insights into all costs, implications, and risks from the outset, as well as reductions in labour redundancies.
Plex’s team has first-hand experience as owners, contractors, engineers, land owners, regulators, and SME stakeholders. This unique perspective is unparalleled when starting new projects or improving existing infrastructure.
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.
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.
READ MOREThe 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.
READ MOREThe Line 93 Replacement Program is valued at C$5.3 billion in Canada and US$2.9 billion in the U.S., replacing 1,031 miles of pipeline. Plex Projects supported in the Line 93 linefill, developing a valve manipulation program to optimize nitrogen usage, reducing costs. Plex also provided execution planning, field engineering, logistics management, and daily updates, ensuring seamless project execution.
READ MOREPlex supported in managing and implementing Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) and repairs on five high-complexity pipeline locations identified by in-line inspection data. Plex developed comprehensive Project Execution Plans, including site mapping, Environmental Protection Plans, permitting, resource planning, schedule management, cost forecasting, and Inspection Test Plan review. This ensured efficient and compliant remediation for these critical pipeline segments.
