the commencement of work, to enable labor to perform quality work in a safe, effective, and
efficient manner.
• Workface Planner: A dedicated construction planner who has hands on construction skills and
experience as a supervisor. Responsible for developing IWPs and removing constraints, reports
directly to the construction superintendent.
• Workface Planning Coordinator: Owners representative who reports directly to the AWP
Champion. Responsible to manage Contractor’s WFP department, coordinate the turnover of
CWPs form the Construction Management Team to the Contractors, and oversee the function of
IWP development and constraint management.
• Information Manager: Owner’s representative who reports directly to the AWP Champion.
Responsible to develop systems and processes that govern the generation and transfer of
project information. Responsible to facilitate the development of the project cloud with a
document management system, material management database and Workface Planning
software.
• AWP Champion: Owner’s representative and member of the Project Management Team,
responsible for the application and oversight of AWP, IM and WFP by all of the Project
Stakeholders.
• Labor: Skilled or unskilled trades people, craft workers, artisans or workforce, divided by
discipline, who are responsible for the actual physical work that converts materials into facilities.
• Constraints: The Information, Tools, Materials, and Access that are required to execute work.
• Work Packaging: The progressive elaboration of work from Engineering Work Packages to
Procurement Work Packages and Module Work Packages based upon the requirements of
Construction Work Packages. Further dissected into Installation Work Package and then into
Daily Plans. The sequence of work dissection follows the path identified in the Path of
Construction with the components modeled upon the structure of the WBS.
• Owner: The COMPANY that initiates a project by developing a business requirement.
• Project Management Team: A division of the COMPANY who are responsible to synchronize and
manage Engineering, Procurement and Construction for the entire life cycle of the project.
• Engineering: Includes COMPANY Engineering and a series of specialized engineering companies
who report directly to the Engineering Manager who is a member of the PMT. Engineering are
responsible to elaborate the owner’s concepts into a detailed design. This organization is
directly responsible for the functionality of the process and the generation of project
information.
• Procurement: The procurement division of the PMT or a division of the Engineering Team. This
team is responsible to engage contractors and suppliers, fabricators, module assembly yards
and construction contractors through the development of contracts. Also responsible to manage
the procurement of bulk materials, components and oversee the fabrication and delivery of
equipment, pipe and steel components.
Page 4
• Material Management: The organization who are responsible for receiving all project material
from the procurement team. Responsible to manage onsite warehousing and the distribution of
all site materials.
• Construction Contractor: The organization engaged to construct the project utilizing direct hire
labor and subcontractors.
• Discipline: A unique trade identified as: Civil, Structural Steel, Pipe, Mechanical, Electrical,
Instrumentation or insulation etc.
Construction Work Area (CWA) – A geographical division of work defined by Construction. It

includes all disciplines, with the exception of cables and
undergrounds that are also divided into work areas, but across
the entire project. Each CWA has boundaries defined by the
logical association of work and becomes one activity on the
Level 2 Schedule.
Construction Work Package (CWP) – A single discipline of a

CWA that defines a logical division of construction work with
less than 40,000 work-hours. A CWP is a component of the
WBS, a single level 3 activity on the project schedule and is the
downstream product of a single EWP and PWP when prepared
for construction. The division of work is defined such that
CWPs do not overlap and they can be used as contractual
boundaries of work. Each CWP is dissected into a series of
IWPs by the Workface Planners.
Engineering Work Package (EWP) - An engineering deliverable, single discipline that contains all of
the engineering data required for a single Construction Work
Package: Scope of Work, Drawings, Vendor Data, Bill of
Materials and Specifications, in both PDF and electronic 3D
model files. EWPs are developed sequentially to satisfy
elements of the Path of Construction, which will facilitate
sequential procurement and the execution of CWPs. A single
EWP is represented in the schedule as a single level 3 activity.
Procurement Work Package (PWP) – A procurement deliverable, that contains all of the materials
required to satisfy a single CWP. Typically, a single discipline, in
the case of steel and pipe the PWP becomes a discrete
fabrication package that is expected to be manufactured and
delivered as a distinct group of components.
Page 5
Module Work Package (MWP): A subset of a group of single discipline EWPs that contains all of the
Issued For Construction (IFC) engineering data for all disciplines
required for the construction of a single module. A group of modules
(<10) is a single CWP. The steel and pipe EWPs for a CWP of modules
becomes discrete fabrication packages that identify all of the spools
and steel piece marks for the CWP (group) of modules.
Installation Work Package (IWP): A discrete portion of constraint free, construction work that can
be executed by a single foreman and crew, in a single 7 Day period.
Dissected from a single CWP and made up of whole drawings. Each
IWP becomes a single level 5 schedule activity.
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) − A hierarchical representation of a complete project with its
components being arrayed in ever-increasing detail. The WBS forms a direct alignment between Work,
Time and Cost by serving as the basis of Work Packaging, Schedule Development and Cost Coding.
WTF-I-12-E4-C05-14
WTF- Water Treatment Facility (Plant)
I-ISBL: O-OSBL
12 - CWA
E - Major discipline (Earthworks)
4 - Sub Discipline (Excavation)
C05 - CWP (C- Construction, E-Engineering, M- Modules, F- Fabrication, P-Procurement)
14 - IWP or Drawing and spool
Project Nomenclature:
The creation of the WBS and the development of the WBS library forms the template for the project
nomenclature. This naming convention (WTF-I-12-E4-C05-14) will then be used to identify physical
components, drawings, spools, steel members, schedule activities, cost codes and work packages.
Page 6
Field Supervision: For the purpose of this procedure these terms are used to describe the three basic
levels of field supervision that exist within the Construction Contractor or Subcontractor organizations.
Ratios are expected to vary based upon the complexity and critical nature of the tasks. Terms and ratios
may be changed to suit the local standards.
a. Foreman: Responsible for the direct supervision of one labor crew in a single discipline, with
typically 1 foreman to 10 crew members.
b. General Foreman: Responsible to directly supervise up to 4 foremen in a single discipline.
c. Superintendent: Responsible to supervise up to 3 General Foremen in a single discipline.
May be a member of staff or hired through the labor providers.
Schedule Dissections: For the purpose of this procedure this hierarchy will be used to describe schedule
activities:
o Level 1: Plant and year
o Level 2: CWA and 6 months
o Level 3: CWP and 3 months
o Level 4: Function code and month
o Level 5: IWP and week
o Level 6: Daily plan and day
o Level 7: Task and hour

Page 8
4 OVERVIEW OF AWP, IM AND WFP
Advanced Work Packaging describes the processes upstream of the CWP that aligns Engineering and
Procurement to facilitate the sequential creation of CWPs.
Workface Planning details the processes downstream of the CWPs that leads to the creation of IWPs
and execution of field work.
Information Management is the alignment of project data so that it facilitates the transition of Data →
Information → Understanding, across Engineering – Procurement – Fabrication - Module Construction –
Construction – Turnover - Commissioning.
Page 9
5 KEY STAKEHOLDER DELIVERABLES TO SUPPORT AWP
At 40% of the overall cost of a project, the construction phase traditionally assumes a large share of
the project risk. The project’s exposure to risk in the fields of Safety, Quality, Schedule and Cost can
all be reduced through the organised execution of work-fronts that are the deliverable from
Advanced Work Packaging.
In order to execute AWP-IM-WFP it is important to recognise that each of the project stakeholders
contributes deliverables that are required by the Construction Contractors to support the
application. This procedure identifies the outline of these deliverables and the actions that are
required for their development. Therefore the members of the Project Management Team are
responsible to implement and govern the execution of these processes through the application of
this procedure.
Engineering: Develop and deliver EWPs, in the correct sequence, ensure that EWPs have all of the
engineering requirements for Construction Work Packages, develop, maintain and regularly deliver
an intelligent fully attributed 3D model.
Procurement: Insert the requirement for AWP, IM and WFP in all contracts, manage the sequential
fabrication of components and modules to satisfy the requirements of Construction Work Packages,
ensure that electronic data is a deliverable from fabrication.
Construction Management: Map the Optimal Path of Construction, identify the size, content and
sequence of CWPs, facilitate the application of Workface Planning by the contractors and manage
field execution.
Project Controls: Develop the level 3 EPC schedule based upon the OPC and sequence of CWPs,
provide standards for Earned Value Management.
Onsite Material Management: Track and report materials required, ordered and received by
Installation Work Package.
Document Control: Develop a single online document management database, store documents by
their WBS, establish and maintain permissions that facilitate electronic access for all of the project
Stakeholders.
Project Management: Establish the requirement for AWP, IM and WFP in contracts, appoint an
AWP Champion and support the application of the AWP, IM and WFP procedures.

Page 12
8 WORKFACE PLANNING SOFTWARE

Prior to the start of detailed design the AWP Champion, working with the Engineering and Procurement
Teams and the Information Manager will evaluate and select a Workface Planning Software that
supports the needs of the project. The decision will be in consideration of the software used for the
Engineering 3D model, Procurement/Material management and Document Control.
WFP Software is proprietary software that facilitates the process of developing Installation Work
Packages (IWPs) in a 3D environment.
There are presently two companies that have products that facilitate the automation of information in a
3D environment for the purpose of work packaging:
ConstructSim SmartPlant Construction
The software accommodates the calculation of planned value through the insertion of installation rates
and rules of progress from the estimate. The intelligent model then allows the users to see the planned
value for each component or the cumulative value of a group of objects (an IWP).
The software can then be used to show the state of readiness for IWPs by showing the actual received
materials and drawings (in another colour). As the work is executed and progressed the Planner will
progress the individual objects (changing the colour) and Earning Value against the total Planned Value.
The culmination of these fragments of information visualized in the 3D environment upon the Workface
Planner’s desktop facilitates the development of virtual IWPs, based upon the current reality. Objects in
the model can also be grouped to represent schedule activities. This creates a visual schedule that can
be rolled out one schedule activity at a time to visually simulate construction: (4D modeling).
The software facilitates Workface Planning by visualizing the answers to these complex questions:
• Which components have been engineered and released IFC?
• Which components have been fabricated, shipped and received?
• Which components have been installed (progressed)?
• Which components are scheduled to be installed?
• Which components have been allocated to an IWP?
Page 13
• Have the Workface Planning constraints for a specific IWP been removed?
9 3D MODEL
The functionality of the Workface Planning Software is critically dependent upon the structure,
attributes and integrity of the 3D model. The correct object attributes must be identified and populated
during the early development of the 3D model and then rolled up to the right level to form components
that are meaningful to fabrication, material management and construction. The Information Manager is
responsible to work with the Engineering team to develop and implement standards that will ensure the
correct alignment of Attributes, Objects and Components in the 3D Model.
The AWP Champion will ensure that the fully functional 3D model is monthly deliverable from
Engineering to Fabrication and Construction.
10 BID ASSESSMENTS
The AWP Champion will work with the COMPANY’s Contract team and the PMT to develop an overall
assessment of each Construction Contractor’s bid.
The AWP Champion will apply the Bid Assessment Scorecard (SD02) to each bid as they are received. A
designate from each bidder will be interviewed by the AWP Champion to complete the second portion
of the assessment.
The final score for each bid, reported as a % of attainable, will be utilized as a guide to the potential of
each bidder to successfully satisfy their portion of COMPANY’s WFP procedures.
The Contract Team will consider each bidder’s score as a component in their technical bid assessment.
The Bid Assessment Scorecard is available in the WFP Toolbox: SD02
11 AWP-IM-WFP KICK-OFF AND LESSONS LEARNED

The AWP Champion, with support from the PMT will conduct a Kick–off and Lessons Learned seminar
with representatives from each of the Project Stakeholders, within 30 days of contract award. The
whole day session will launch the application of AWP-IM-WFP for the Project Stakeholders and
introduce the collaborative nature of information generation, management and sharing for the purpose
of Workface Planning facilitation.
The AWP Champion will utilize the morning portion of the seminar to present a PM training program
that will highlight the overall concepts, deliverables and interdependencies of AWP-IM-WFP on the
project.
The afternoon session will be used to present lessons learned from other projects and the project
procedures. The interactive session will invite the Stakeholders to contribute their own lessons learned
to a log of experience.
The AWP Champion will then introduce the concept of a stakeholder steering committee and then seek
nominations from each of the stakeholder groups. The WFP Steering committee will meet monthly to
table issues and seek resolutions for the entire life cycle of the project.
The AWP Champion is responsible to collate the log of lessons learned from the seminar and
communicate it across the project.

12 PROJECT DEVELOPMENT ROADMAP FOR AWP-IM-WFP
Page 15
13 OPTIMAL PATH OF CONSTRUCTION
During the front end planning of each project and prior to the start of detailed design the senior project
manager will convene a process that facilitates the development of the Path of Construction. The POC
will prescribe the sequential development of engineering and procurement to support the optimal
sequence of project construction.
The project management team led by the Senior Project Manager will ensure that the logic of optimized
construction is the dominant influence on the final Path of Construction.
The document: “Path of Construction - Workshop” is available in the WFP Toolbox: PM04 and
establishes the method and structure of the workshop that will be used to develop the Optimal Path of
Construction.
Page 16
The mandatory sequential development of engineering and procurement based upon the optimal path
of construction is a critical requirement for effective Workface Planning. As such this process, which is a
best practice on its own, has been included in this procedure as an essential element in the path
towards optimized construction through the execution of Workface Planning.
Page 17
14 Interactive Planning Workshop

The ideal output from the Path of Construction Workshop will be a complete list of single discipline
CWPs and the sequence that they should start construction: The CWP Release Plan.
The CWP Release Plan establishes placeholders in a schedule format that shows the ideal sequence and
approximate lag between the start of construction dates for CWPs
Install Heat Exchangers: CWP Release Plan

Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
Piles CWP
Concrete CWP
Steel CWP
Pipe CWP
E&I CWP
Heat Trace CWP
Insulation CWP
The Engineering and Procurement teams perform a backward pass where they develop activity
durations for EWPs and PWPs that will support the requirements of each individual CWP.
For the purpose of this workshop the duration estimates are only for the fabrication and shipping of
materials or the development of individual EWPs that takes place after the second model review. The
engineering of systems and the procurement of bulk steel and pipe are executed as they normally are
across the entire project prior to these start dates.
Install Heat Exchangers: EWP Release Plan

Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
Piles EWP P CWP
Concrete EWP P CWP
Steel EWP P CWP
Pipe EWP P CWP
E&I EWP P CWP
Heat Trace EWP P CWP
Insulation EWP P CWP
This method is premised upon the standard that one EWP = one PWP = one CWP and that the end of an
EWP duration is the last drawing IFC with the end of a PWP being the last component received at site.
The alignment of this methodology also mandates the requirement for work packages to be delivered as
complete packages, not by single drawing or individual component. This also means that the activities
run in series to each other with a finish to start relationship.
Page 18
If module fabrication is a component of the project then a group of modules (<10) will be considered a
single CWP (identified by the construction team) and be identified in this release plan as Module
Assembly that appears after procurement and before Construction.
At this stage of schedule development, the duration estimates at expected to be a Rough Order of
Magnitude (ROM) estimate (+/- 25%) based upon analogous calculations.
With the EWP IFC dates established the Engineering team will develop an estimate for the development
duration of each EWP and conduct a backward pass to establish a start date for engineering.
15 AWP-IM-WFP EXECUTION STRATEGIES

Page 20
16 INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
The AWP Champion will engage an Information Manager to guide the development of information
generation, storage and exchange.
The standards for information will be designed to support the interfaces between the 3D model the WFP
software, the document control database and the material management system, with consideration for
the project schedule and the management of earned value. Whenever possible the standard for data
generation should also be compliant with the ISO standard 15926.
The Information Manager is responsible to support the development of project standards for
information generation, the WBS and nomenclatures for all of the Project Stakeholders. The project
wide standardization of information specifications is expected to facilitate the interfaces between the
project stakeholders based upon the foundation of the 3D model.
Page 21
17 AUDITS
In order to optimize the Project Management Team’s support for AWP-IM-WFP the Project Manager will
initiate in-house audits of the process against this procedure during each stage of the project. The AWP
Champion will develop the schedule and conduct the audits at the request of the Project Manager.
These audit points will appear in the project schedule.
A Summary of the report will contain the following:
• Scorecard of adherence to this procedure as a % of total attainable
• A list of recommendations for alignment.
• Demographics of the project: Phase, Workforce and % Complete
• Comments and observations
• A list of acclamations and recommendations
The audits will utilize the audit template from the WFP Toolbox: SD07
The AWP Champion will present the audits to the Project Manager. The Project Management Team will
develop a list of action items and assign accountable personnel. The AWP Champion is then responsible
to progress the action items and produce a follow up report within one month of the audit.
18 PROCEDURE MAINTENANCE
This procedure is the first in a series of three that are interdependent to each other, therefore care
should be taken that changes initiated here are not already covered in one of the other procedures or
that the changes do not have a negative impact upon the effectiveness of the process as a whole.
The local maintenance of this procedure is the responsibility of the AWP Champion over the course of
the project and should reflect the reality of application.
At the completion of the project the AWP Champion is responsible to capture the actions taken by the
project team to improve the procedure’s effectiveness.
This report should include a detailed list of:

• The audit results that show trends in conformance or diversions from the procedure.
• Changes made to the procedure during the project c/w with an explanation of the reason
for the changes.
