Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) Contracts for Energy Industry
Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) Contracts for the Energy Industry is a five-day programme that helps contracts, legal, and project teams administer lump-sum turnkey contracts from tender to final acceptance. It builds the practical skills to allocate risk, manage variations, and close out energy EPC projects cleanly.
Introduction
Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) Contracts for the Energy Industry examines how lump-sum turnkey contracts are structured, tendered, and administered across oil, gas, and power projects. This Training Course covers scope definition, contractor selection, risk allocation, interface management, and completion mechanics. Participants study FIDIC Silver Book provisions, performance guarantees, delay liquidated damages, and take-over procedures. Furthermore, the programme connects contractual wording to site delivery through case studies and clause workshops. As a result, delegates leave able to manage EPC contracts from award to final acceptance.
Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) Contracts for Energy Industry Course Objectives
- Define EPC contracting and distinguish it from EPCM and design-build models.
- Structure lump-sum turnkey contracts for energy projects.
- Draft scope, employer's requirements, and technical schedules clearly.
- Allocate design, construction, and commissioning risk correctly.
- Apply FIDIC Silver Book and industry-specific EPC conditions.
- Set performance guarantees, liquidated damages, and delay damages.
- Manage interfaces between engineering, procurement, and construction packages.
- Control variations, change orders, and claims on EPC scope.
- Administer milestones, mechanical completion, and provisional acceptance.
- Manage final acceptance, defects liability, and contract closeout.
Course Methodology
- Interactive workshops using real EPC contract disputes and completions.
- Structured clause-by-clause analysis of FIDIC Silver Book conditions.
- Tendering simulation from ITT issue to award recommendation.
- Guided negotiation exercises on risk transfer and guarantees.
