SAMCO’s talented and experienced
professionals focus on delivering
project solutions on time and within
budget while meeting or exceeding
our client's expectations.

Scheduling
The critical path schedule is guided by the following
objectives:
- Establish tasks that are achievable within technical,
production and services capabilities;
- Provide summary and exception reporting against plans;
- Identify deviations in scope, bill of materials and
schedules to allow project management to implement
corrective action;
- Frequent feedback among management and client personnel
to maintain close interface and consensus on project work
flow.
The system integrates all the elements of planning,
scheduling, estimating, trending, forecasting, analysis and
reporting that are essential to project control. Emphasis is
placed on the rule: “measure twice-cut once.”
Cost Control
A common database and control technique for measuring
progress will be used including:
- Contract Estimates - control baselines for material and
labor.
- Actual Project Cost Reports - to establish status of
commitments, expenditures and project cash flow.
- Database Analysis - a wide range of reports are
generated to assist in managing material procurement. Cost
by vendor, skid, unit process and cost-to-complete estimates
are easily generated. Existing status of all material is
tracked.
From Concept to Completion
Ever-changing regulations and intense competition for
limited resources define today’s market for new water
treatment technologies. Environmental regulations and
control have evolved to a state of complexity that
demands sophisticated delivery methods and
multi-disciplinary scientific and engineering skills.
Cost and technical considerations must be balanced
against environmental, economic, and regulatory
requirements. Market demands dictate that new
technologies and system designs be packaged quickly and
efficiently to maximize return on investment. |

SAMCO has committed itself to explore and implement new and
better ways to execute solutions to meet client needs. Our
seamless process relies on a lean, practical, efficient approach
to implementing optimal solutions. This step-by-step approach
enables the client to evaluate various technical alternatives.
At SAMCO we strive to achieve three core objectives:
- Complete project execution in substantially less time
compared to conventional business delivery processes.
- Implement project solutions by significantly reducing
the cost-to-complete expenditure through the use of
efficient technologies, thus reducing various operation and
maintenance costs.
- Meet or exceed client expectations for system
performance, reliability, and return on investment.
The process typically begins by assembling all key project
personnel and decision makers in a one or two day Consultation
Workshop. This workshop propels a cross-functional business and
technical team to examine process requirements, alternatives,
critical issues, and desired outcomes. A sample of our
step-by-step approach is delineated below:
