What is AWP?
Productivity improvements in capital projects execution for ACME TES are imperative to remain competitive as a support organization for the Company.
AWP has documented and proven benefits that result in a step-change in field productivity on projects when done right, in addition to a host of other benefits, not the least of which is safety.
AWP will deliver significant value as part of the ACME TES organization goals for 2020.
Why is it Important?
Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) is a project framework to divide a projects' scope into manageable portions of work for planning and execution, in order to achieve improved productivity and increased predictability.
Learn more about this industry best practice being adopted on ACME capital projects.
Key highlights of AWP include:
Improved alignment of Engineering & Procurement with Construction and Commissioning
Interactive Planning and CWP Readiness Reviews to stop ramping up in the field too early
Heightened visibility of project execution through 3D, color coded status views
Execution of constraint-free Installation Work Packages (IWPs) by Labor Contractors
Incorporation of leading indicators of AWP success to know that the doing is getting done

An IWP is a discrete portion of a CWP that can be executed by a single foreman and crew over a single
rotation (~600-1000 man-hrs).
A CWA is a geographical division of work defined by construction. CWAs should be
identified early in the project life-cycle.
AWP entails the systematic break-down of construction activities first into geographical ConstructionWork Areas (CWAs), then into discipline specific Construction Work Packages (CWPs), and then finallyinto smaller field Installation Work Packages (IWPs) that contain manageable instruction sets, drawingsand material requests for field crews.
A CWP further segregates a CWA into discipline specific scopes of work, aligned with activity items
in the Level 3 schedule.

‘Beginning with the end in mind,’ AWP drives the systematic alignment of engineering and procurementdeliverables according to the needs of construction and commissioning. Operations start-up strategy &timelines defined by systems influence the early definition of the Path of Construction, encoded as a flow ofCWAs and CWPs for the project. CWP boundaries define organization structures for engineering andprocurement deliverables, facilitating alignment, prioritization, and construction readiness reviews acrossproject delivery phases.

AWP enables a project to get the right things to the right people at the right time at the construction site in order to save money, decrease risk and improve productivity.
AWP requires construction labor contractors to effectively implement Workface Planningmethodologies on a project, which involves the early planning, execution and close-out of “constraint-free” Installation Work Packages (IWPs). The formal identification and removal of constraints is a keyaspect of Workface Planning.

• CII Best Practice since 2015 – CII Body of Knowledge in AWP consists of 2 major research topic outputs: o RT 272 – Guidelines, Case Studies o RT 391 – Validating Benefits of AWP
• COAA Workface Planning (WFP) Model – The CII work built upon the WFP model developed by COAA (Construction Owner’s of Association of Alberta) in the mid 2000’s, from early Canadian projects adopting AWP approaches.
• Early Fiatech Efforts – AWP initially evolved from efforts in the United States dating baking to 1999 as a request by what was then the “Owner Operator Forum”, a collection of companies who own and operate industrial facilities seeking to leverage investments in 3D digital engineering into industrial plant construction & operations. This effort transformed to what is today known as Fiatech.
Recognized as a best practice by the Construction Industry Institute (CII), AWP establishes robust processes, team structures, and enabling technologies that significantly improve project outcomes.

following some of the most basic and fundamental
principles of capital project execution.

ACME Engineering Solutions (ES) has embarked upon an
enterprise adoption of Advanced Work Package (AWP).
CURRENT PROJECT CHALLENGES
Projects release work to the field when ready, implementing structured CWP Release Reviews.
Projects tend to deploy site resources too early, without engineering and procurement ready.
Projects teams have early visibility and prioritize E & P deliverables to support construction.
Projects teams struggle to get clarity of E & P deliverables relative to planned sequence of C.
Deliverables to construction are streamlined as digital data linked to smart electronic drawings.
Engineering processes & deliverables remain document centric, with high data duplication.
Virtual tools facilitate easy ‘point-and-click’ assembly of CWPs & IWPs with accurate MTOs.
Construction supervision manually sorts paper drawings and material take-offs to plan work.
Progress is rolled-up from detailed component tracking using digital IWP scorecards to the MPS.
Management tracks progress at a rolled-up level with disconnects between actual and reported.
Predictive alerts empower projects to resolve issues across project phases and stakeholders.
Projects cannot easily correlate status and plans across project phases and stakeholders.
Management leverage smart reports based upon timely data supplied across the Stakeholders.
Management receive ‘stale’ PDF reports based upon info weeks to months old.
Projects proactively control efforts leveraging both leading and lagging performance indicators.
Projects monitor and report on performance metrics that are largely lagging indicators.

Start-Up SystemsOperations start-up strategy & timelines should be identified early in the project concept phase, in order to influence the ‘completion need’ dates for the “Path of Construction”. As the project progresses, the “start-up and commissioning systems and sub-systems” should be demarked on Smart P&IDs in order to digitally encode the system attributes into the engineering datasets and deliverables.

CWA = Construction Work AreaA construction project is first divided into major project areas within a site plan where multiple disciplines will need to coordinate work activities. Note that the CWAs are ‘work areas’, and may or may not be a one-to-one match with defined areas in the operating plant. Rather the CWAs should defined by both physical – and logical – boundaries that established by the project execution plan to capture related divisions of project scope.

The CWPs should correspond to activities in the Master Project Schedule.

Procurement Deliverables for a CWPThe materials requirements related to a CWP, that needs to come together at the job site in the right amount at the right time. Although materials may be aggregated across an entire project and procured by commodity types, effective deployment of AWP allows the materials to be analyzed per CWP based upon priority need dates and quantities.

TOP = Turnover PackageAs engineering progresses, specific Turnover Packages (TOP) required for system startup - typically extending across CWAs - should be identified and scoped early. The TOPs will later aggregate all required inspection and test documentation, along with other information deliverables required for successful startup & operations of the plant. Early identification of asset lists in TOPs greatly facilitates transition from installation by area to testing and turnover by systems later in the project.

IWP = Installation Work PackageAs the project progresses into the field, CWPs are further divided into manageable Installation Work Packages (IWPs) to be delivered constraint-free to the crews and executed stop to finish without delay. The size, scope and sequence of IWPs should be determined initially by what makes for an optimal production flow of work to fit within a short range lookahead schedule (typically comprising work for a crew over a one to two weeks period), and later adjusted to be exactly what the crews are able to do when issued to the field for execution.
