Engineers and technologists placed
Full mobilization
Schedule fully recovered
Delay penalties avoided
SITUATION
A mid-market industrial firm was overseeing a major capital equipment installation at a processing facility in
Northern Ontario. The project was three months behind schedule due to scope creep, subcontractor turnover, and an acute shortage of process engineers and instrumentation technologists who could work at a remote site. Delay penalties in the project agreement were compounding weekly. The firm’s internal engineering team was stretched across three other projects and could not be reallocated.
SOLUTION
Trimax sourced a dedicated project engineering team, including process engineers, instrumentation technologists, and commissioning specialists, from a pre-qualified network of technical professionals with remote-site and industrial facility experience. Professional engineering licences, P.Eng designations, and site-specific certifications including WHMIS, confined space, and H2S Alive were verified through our compliance platform before mobilization. The team was structured with a lead engineer who acted as the single point of accountability to the client’s project manager, reducing coordination overhead during a period when speed of decision-making was critical.
OUTCOME
The 23-person team was fully mobilized and on-site within six weeks. The capital project recovered its schedule
within 10 weeks of Trimax’s involvement and completed commissioning within the revised contractual window.
The projected $1.8M in delay penalties was avoided entirely.
“We were staring at a financial hit that would have defined the year. They built us a team that
turned it around.”
