In the midstream industry, efficiency is key, and ease while preserving quality and safety is the ultimate goal. Turnkey services provide a seamless, fully integrated solution that project managers seek. A turnkey solution is a product or a service that arrives fully developed, implemented, and ready to use by the buyer. This solution is made to be easily implemented in a current business process, without causing any interruptions.
This comprehensive guide will dive into turnkey services, highlighting their benefits and outlining key considerations to keep in mind. Understanding turnkey services will help you optimize your business processes.
What are Turnkey Services?
Turnkey services are an inclusive solution delivered through a fully developed and immediately available process. ARS Global assists clients in the procurement process from the engineering and design phase through order fulfillment and document archiving. Using strong logistics alliances, the customer is released from using scarce time and resources to monitor order expediting, shipments, and document control.
Any size capital project will experience immediate bottom-line savings and lead time eliminations and reductions through the readily available distribution model of the project material.
Key Components and Benefits
Coordination
Through a network of strong logistics alliances, ARS Global can quote all items delivered to the job site or right of way while allowing the client to delegate time-consuming and costly planning. The ease and efficiency of turnkey services enable project managers to save time, save resources, and lower costs.
Procurement
Operators avoid the hassle of having to come up with transportation of procured assets. End-to-end management and direct delivery reduce overall lead time with no additional work from the buyer and immediate bottom-line savings.
Implementation
Otherwise, complex processes are made simple with a single streamlined solution from start to finish. All coating requirements are managed on behalf of the operator for maximum convenience and safety.
Handover
Inspection services ensure that TVC records are on hand and available. All assets are fully traceable and documented for critical records.
Case Studies
Quick Turnarounds
An operator was sourcing a 36” pipe for an expansion project. At the time, average lead times for newly manufactured pipe were backed up by 3-5 months. This led to a huge strain and delay in the timeline and budget of the project. The operator was looking for an alternative that would fulfill the requirements of the high-pressure pipeline construction. By accessing the network of at-the-ready assets, the operator was able to inspect the exact products they were purchasing for the project. The assets were fully managed, transported, and delivered in only one month through ARS Global’s turnkey services.
Recovered Value
A client was able to recover value from a yard full of idle assets and have the 100 miles of pipe relocated over 1,000 miles in less than 100 days. The client was on a tight deadline due to a third party purchasing its pipe yard. With the help of ARS Global’s logistics and transportation partners, they were able to quickly and successfully relocate the pipe well ahead of schedule.
“Re-Sourcing” for Savings
A major oil and gas operator was sourcing materials for a project that required the necessary documentation and management for the parts to be approved for use. With backed-up supply chain lead times, orders could not be filled for at least a year. Additionally, the products required needed to meet strict quality assurance and compliance for successful acquisition. By sourcing through the global network with ARS Global, the buyer was able to realize 15-30% savings, access documentation to assure quality compliance, and significantly cut lead and delivery times.
Conclusion
Turnkey services offer a streamlined approach to solving complex project requirements. These services cause minimal disruption and allow the operator to experience the benefits of a seamless coordination, procurement, implementation, and handover process with ARS Global. By recognizing these benefits and key considerations, managers are empowered to make well-informed decisions that closely align with their business objectives while experiencing smoother operations.
