Projects Controls Expo 2019
Location
Emirates Arsenal Stadium, London
Enstoa is excited to be a Platinum sponsor supporting Project Controls Expo, in London. This is one of the most significant annual Project Controls events and features a wide range of sessions including expert international speakers presenting masterclass sessions, case studies, technical presentations, SME (Subject Matter Expert) Panels, Megaprojects sessions along with Partner showcase, a Project Controls job fair, and exclusive Awards night. The Project Controls Expo provides valuable practical and theoretical awareness of established Project Controls techniques, processes and software tools.
Enstoa's director of Digital Solutions, Ian Thornton, will be presenting alongside Liam O'Sullivan, Head of ED1SON Alliance Delivery at UK Power Networks. They will share lessons learned and essential ingredients to success from UK Power Network's two-to-three-year journey to achieve a useable integrated projects delivery, and a controls way of working and business systems capability. During this dialogue between the client builder and the implementer, the audience will also find out why they both believe that a best-practice-driven, integrated project delivery and controls system should be deployable and ready-to-go in under 30 days.
With Enstoa's help, UKPN's business transformation led to improving, simplifying, and reducing numerous processes and systems so that it's easier for their team to do their jobs.
How did they do it?
Throughout the three year project, Ian and Liam learned that an integrated approach using the right applications, coupled with better management of change and simplified reporting was crucial to reaching their goal.
Overall, Ian expressed that “Project Controls Expo UK continues to be the go-to ‘Project Controls’ event in the UK, definitely one to add to your calendar for next year. This year’s event was as packed as ever with lots of high-quality stands and presentations giving the audiences a good pulse on the industry with some cracking examples of what is being achieved with best-practice and the latest tech on exemplar projects, both in the UK and EMEA. The awards dinner, the night before, was also a great warm-up act to the main expo event, honouring some fantastic companies and individuals for their project controls expertise; my stand-out award being the ‘Project Controls Apprentice of the Year,’ which showcased four very talented young practitioners – it’s amazing what can be achieved by combining latest talent with the latest tech! Well done and thank you Anil and team for another fantastic event.”
