Program Management
Program management is the process of managing multiple ongoing projects, which might
require hundreds, or even thousands of separate activities. It combines the knowledge
and resources to define, plan, implement and integrate every aspect of a client's
comprehensive program. Drawing on the company's global resources, Black & Veatch
sophisticated program management solutions. Our approach to program management reflects
our ability to coordinate and prioritize resources across projects, departments
and entities, ensuring that resources are managed with a global focus. We can also
coordinate programs across multiple markets.
Energy
In addition to managing single projects, Black & Veatch can manage an entire
program for our clients. Programs can take on many forms. Some include many single
projects of a similar type, such as retrofitting the same type of air quality equipment
to many generating units at multiple sites. A program can also include managing
many different types of technology additions to a group of units at one site. Other
programs may involve delivering a series of units to a single client over a period
of time. Despite the nature of any given program, typical aspects include a high
level of complexity, multiple types of installations and typically a longer period
of time than a single project.
We can provide our program services under various forms of commercial arrangements,
managing the integration of all services associated with the program, typically
on behalf of or as an agent for the owner. The concept of integration typically
encompasses the coordination of all engineering, procurement and construction, including
cost and schedule management.
Water
The need for water is fundamental, but treating and delivering it is becoming increasingly
complex and costly. Utility leaders face tremendous management, operational and
growth challenges. Compliance and regulatory requirements are driving the expansion
and replacement of treatment facilities as aging and overloaded infrastructure struggles
to keep pace.
Expert program management from Black & Veatch provides direction and focus for
these challenges. We go beyond the single project approach and help you define total,
system-wide solutions. We help clients establish clear strategies to manage critical
water and wastewater issues decisively, while maximizing funding and resources.
