WHAT MADE THIS JOB COMPLEX

This project’s complexity stemmed from its blend of routine operations with new, specialized work—specifically, Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD), a method not previously undertaken by Posillico. While the technical demands of HDD presented an internal learning curve, the main challenges centered on resource allocation and effective project management. The PM team and site crews had to quickly adapt, developing new competencies in HDD while maintaining high standards in existing services. This required enhanced coordination, specialized staffing, and robust support structures, ensuring the successful integration of new techniques within the project’s scope.

HOW POSILLICO SOLVED IT

To address the unique demands of Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) on this project, we strategically sourced experienced manpower from trusted industry partners, bringing onboard professionals with proven HDD expertise. Additionally, we invested in specialized equipment, retrofitting it to meet the specific requirements of the job site. This proactive approach not only bolstered our team’s capabilities but also optimized our equipment to handle the project’s complexities, ensuring high-quality results and a seamless integration of this new operation.
