Project Introduction.

integrated project controls maintaining compliance

Bradwell B Nuclear BRB was established with the mission to introduce Chinese nuclear power production technology (HPR1000) into the UK and European markets. As a new business, the key requirement was to establish the Integrated Project Controls function to monitor and control project performance, with particular attention to Regulatory Requirements in the UK.

The Problem.

The challenge for BRB lay in navigating the intricate process of introducing Chinese nuclear power production technology to the UK and European markets. The critical need was to institute the Integrated Project Controls function, ensuring meticulous monitoring and control of project performance, with a specific emphasis on compliance with the intricate Regulatory Requirements in the UK.

Our Solution.

Movar conducted a comprehensive IPC Assessment, evaluating BRB's maturity across key aspects: Governance, Performance Measurement Baseline, Change, Cost, Risk, Schedule, Interface Management, Earned Value, Progress Monitoring & Reporting, Information Management, and IT Services. This assessment identified opportunities for improvement, scoped and implemented to enhance project efficiency.

A crucial facet was the upskilling of Chinese stakeholders on the unique UK Regulatory Requirements, diverging significantly from standard Chinese project delivery practices. Movar established robust project management and control systems, facilitating regular reporting, review, progress reporting, risk assessments, and performance monitoring. These systems were instrumental in ensuring the project's alignment with objectives and promptly addressing any identified issues.

The Results.

BRB successfully baselined and benchmarked their maturity level, utilising a measured scoring method. A subsequent rerun a year later demonstrated substantial improvement, showcasing real progress toward agreed goals.

Efficiency gains and increased productivity within the Programme Delivery Unit led to reduced project costs. Rework was minimised, and project estimate accuracy improved. Adopting the more demanding UK Context methodologies allowed BRB to engage effectively with regulators. This strategic shift played a crucial role in BRB's achievement of the Generic Design Assessment (GDA), with the PMO & Project Controls systems integral to this success.

The business's overall reputation and credibility improved significantly with external stakeholders, including the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR).
