Kiewit’s Post

Since rejoining STRUCTURAL Middle East in February, I’ve embraced a new challenge managing our industrial sector. Reflecting on my previous experience in the commercial market, I’ve come to appreciate the significant differences between the two sectors. Commercial Sector: 1- A much wider pool of clients 2- Qualifying opportunities that fit our business model 3- Developing solutions that accommodate existing construction constraints (e.g., headspace) 4- Navigating commercial challenges (e.g., pricing) Industrial Sector: 1- Coordinating with operations team during the bidding stage to work around shutdown windows 2- Educating customers who are primarily focused on production 3-Managing challenging working conditions and schedules What are some other challenges you think each sector faces?

The ISLAND INTERVENTION in its element, delivering unmatched performance in offshore construction and intervention.

Exciting news for our industry partners! The Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations Office of External Affairs will host a monthly Industry Days Series every third Thursday of the month from 2-3:30 pm ET on via Webex from March to November 2024.This collaboration between OBO and the private sector will foster innovation and expand the OBO contractor pool.      Series 1: Highlighting OBO Directorates (March - June) Get to know the directorates within OBO, their distinct scopes and needs, upcoming opportunities, and what an ideal OBO partner looks like. Representatives from the Department of State’s Office of Procurement will join to offer additional insight on building with us.   Series 2: Reverse Industry Day (July – November, skipping September)  Get ready for an innovative twist! External Affairs brings four key OBO contractors to the forefront to discuss specific challenges they faced while partnering with OBO and the practical, real-life solutions and best practices. The key contractors will invite small businesses and subcontractors to present alongside them. The ‘reverse’ nature of the event is that OBO will listen and respond to contractor presentations, rather than present. This series is designed to be a dialogue between contractors and the participants.        More details to follow! -- #governmentcontracting #governmentrelations #realestate #industry #architecture #engineers U.S. Department of State Industry Liaison #OBOMonthlySeries #IndustryDays #Collaboration #Innovation #Transparency #Partnerships #Contractors #buildingdiplomacy

Challenging current practices and looking for new ways of working to drive change and improve standards is always important. This White Paper is a great example of Chevron TM doing just that. Written by Keith Smith, an expert in all things traffic management and health and safety. It contains interesting observations and recommendations for anyone involved in establishing work sites in urban areas. Read the full paper here: London Urban White Paper https://lnkd.in/ebnzKBDC

This white paper raises some very significant health, safety and wellbeing issues, concerning the standard of site establishments and temporary works within major cities and urban areas. Increased consideration for neurodiversity, accessibility, and place making are some of the key aspects highlighted where there is a clear opportunity to be more dilligent, responsible and to raise the bar across the construction industry. Well done Chevron Traffic Management and Keith Smith for helping to promote these important topics within the highways sector.
