Through previous shareholdings by Kvaerner E&C, Davy International and Davy McKee, AVEC has continuously operated in South Africa since 1953.We have many contract types from lump sum professional services through to cost-plus reimbursable projects. We believe in risk and reward contracting with incentives and would be pleased to discuss bonus/penalty scenarios on any potential contracts.We offer a range of services from feasibility studies, through the various engineering phases, to construction and commissioning support.
In addition, we can provide consulting services such as plant or project audits, troubleshooting, value engineering facilitation and participation, HAZOP/risk studies and design reviews. The AVEC office is purposely small, backed by close relationships with companies having expertise in various related fields as well as relationships with industry equipment and service suppliers. This structure allows us to respond in a flexible manner to client requirements without the need to keep large numbers of people on standby. We have used value engineering on a number of projects in the hydrocarbon/petrochemical plant and mineral processing industries and achieved significant savings, without sacrificing scope.Certification of our quality management system to ISO 9001:2008 is just one indication of our commitment to quality. All our work is performed to the high standards of auditability and accountability required.
