Introduction to Advanced Work Packaging

Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) is a construction-driven planning system that improves project productivity by aligning planning and execution from the engineering phase. It addresses common issues in traditional projects, such as late material deliveries and design errors, by utilizing 3D models and front-loading planning. Examples from shipbuilding, repair, and design illustrate AWP's effectiveness in reducing rework and accelerating project timelines.

Introduction
In short, Advanced Work Packaging
(AWP) is a construction-driven planning
and collaboration system designed to
enhance project productivity and
predictability by aligning planning and
execution activities from the beginning
of a construction project.
Why
Advaned !
Unlike traditional work breakdown, AWP:

•Starts in engineering phase (not

construction)

•Links design > procurement >

installation

•Uses 3D models as single source of


Problem
Traditional projects suffer from:

🔧 Late material deliveries

🔧 Design errors found in field

🔧 Trade stacking delays


AWP prevents these by front-loading
planning.
Steps
Path of Construction (Master sequence)

• Engineering Work Packages (EWPs)

• Construction Work Packages (CWPs)

• Installation Work Packages (IWPs)

*Boosts engagement of Engineering in all stages.


Shipbuilding
Example
A Korean yard reduced rework 40% by:

• Creating IWPs from 3D models

• Freezing designs 6 months earlier

[Example: Hyundai's "Smart Yard"


initiative]
Ship Repair
Example
A Singapore dry dock cut downtime by:

• Pre-packaging all repair materials

• GPS-tracking parts to workfaces

[Example: Sembcorp Marine's digitized


workflows]
Ship Design
Example
A Norwegian firm accelerated FEED by:

• Linking EWPs to class society rules

• Automating pipe spool generation

[Example: Ulstein's AWP


implementation]
Analogy
🚢 Traditional Approach (Old Way)
🔧 Design: 2D drawings → "Field-fit" surprises
🔧 Fabrication: Cut pipes onsite → Trial-and-error welding
🔧 Result: 25-30% rework, delays, cost overruns

⚡ AWP Approach (New Way)


✅ Design: 3D BIM with clash detection → Freeze routing early
✅ Fabrication: Pre-fab spools (QR-tracked) → Bolt-in-place installs
✅ Result: 90%+ first-time fit, 20% faster install
Other
Industries
•Oil & Gas: 25% faster turnaround

•Power Plants: 30% less field rework
