Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) has proven hugely successful at delivering ROI of construction megaprojects. But how do you take advantage of this powerful planning system on the smaller scale — for existing facilities and operating plants where there isn’t even a 3D model available? Enter WorkPacks — the new scalable solution for applying AWP to operating facilities in the capital project portfolio. You can still plan your projects digitally even WITHOUT a 3D model. WorkPacks was specifically designed to handle early planning without the need for a 3D model, although it can leverage one if you have one. By giving you maximum flexibility, WorkPacks is the perfect scalable solution for smaller projects. There are great advantages having a digital Path of Construction planning tool that delivers clarity and insight that can translate into ROI. Now is the time to move from paper to digital.
