The Two-layer Deployment Model

EBG applies a two-layer project execution model appropriate for effective project delivery:

➢ EBG works closely with clients and business partners to define project-specific management and expert resource requirements across our target industry sectors and throughout the project lifecycle.
➢ Our two-layer deployment model combines experienced, project-specific interdisciplinary teams, selected according to the technical, commercial, construction, ESG, HSE, commissioning and operational requirements of each project, providing active management and project control backed by senior leadership oversight and direction.
➢ This flexible approach enables EBG to complement existing client capabilities with the right leadership, expertise and resources at the right stage of the project lifecycle, from development and construction through commissioning and transition into operations.
➢ EBG's expert resource capabilities include project managers, discipline specialists, coordinators, analysts, engineers, technicians, O&M experts tailored to the specific requirements of each project.

Why Do Infrastructure Projects Experience Delays, Cost Overruns and Quality Deficiencies?

Large-scale energy infrastructure projects are inherently complex.  Their successful delivery depends on the effective management of multiple technical, commercial, regulatory and execution interfaces.

While individual project risks vary by geography, technology and scale, recurring causes of schedule delays and cost overruns include:

1. Technical & Interface Complexity – Design changes, weak interface management and insufficient integration across engineering and construction disciplines.

2. ESG, HSE, E&S – Inadequate planning, monitoring or compliance can expose projects to safety, environmental, social, regulatory and reputational risks.

3. Supply Chain & Logistics – Long-lead equipment, global sourcing dependencies and logistical constraints can directly affect critical-path activities.

4. Government, Permitting & Regulatory Approvals – Delayed approvals, changing requirements and jurisdiction-specific processes can constrain development and construction.

5. Commercial & Financial Pressures – Financing delays, inflation, currency exposure and contractual weaknesses can materially affect project economics and delivery.

6. Project Management & Controls – Unrealistic baselines, insufficient risk management, uncontrolled scope changes and weak schedule or cost controls contribute directly to project underperformance.

7. Workforce & Contractor Performance – Skills shortages, productivity constraints, HSE performance and underperforming contractors or subcontractors can significantly affect execution.

8. External Events – Geopolitical developments, extreme weather, natural disasters and other unforeseen events can disrupt even well-planned projects.

9. Local Execution Challenges – Limited local capacity, licensing requirements, stakeholder interfaces and jurisdiction-specific constraints require experienced on-the-ground management.

How EBG Addresses These Challenges

EBG places particular emphasis on continuity of management from development through construction and into operations, where technical, commercial, contractual and interface risks must be actively managed to protect project outcomes.

Drawing on the extensive execution experience of its senior leadership, EBG deploys project-specific, interdisciplinary management teams, complemented where required by specialized expert resources.  

Operating as an integrated extension of client and business partner teams, EBG combines hands-on management with robust project controls to anticipate risks, resolve interfaces, drive corrective actions and maintain focus on safety, schedule, cost, quality and operational readiness.

➢ Proactive rather than reactive Risk & Corrective Action Management – Identify, mitigate and monitor technical, commercial, regulatory, ESG and execution risks, while driving timely resolution and corrective actions before issues materially affect delivery.
➢ Structured planning with clear goals and objectives – Provide hands-on leadership, experienced project teams and active management of schedule, cost, quality, interfaces and contractor performance from development through construction, commissioning and operational handover.
➢ Lifecycle Accountability – Maintain management continuity from feasibility and development through contracting, construction, commissioning and transition into operations.
➢ Effective Project Governance Integration, including ESG & HSE – Driving bankability and disciplined execution in accordance with applicable ESG, HSE and international lender requirements and standards.
