LEAN EPCM

What is Lean EPCM?

  • A new approach to project execution for cost conscious mining companies

  • The best elements of both EPC and EPCM systems

  • Schedules where engineering, procurement, fabrication and construction are executed on closely staggered parallel paths

  • A budget solution for projects where legacy EPCM systems weigh down the budget with excessive overhead

  • Ideal for client's with limited payroll flexibility for in house project teams

How Does it Work?

  • Low Overhead - our team is mobile and our business is cloud based

  • Lump Sum - we work on fixed price, deliverables based budgets. Unlike legacy EPCM firms, we prioritize your deliverables progress over our internal budgets.

  • Scaled down project organization charts to match lean structured clients 

  • Supplier Partners - we have a vast network of fabricators, engineers, and component suppliers that we have developed over decades supplying mining equipment. Lean EPCM favors early contractor involvement and an active presence at key points of the supply chain. If there is a fastener shop on the other side of the world making a small but critical part, we make it our job to know about it and ensure on time delivery of quality goods at a fair price.

  • From the Shop, Out - Lean EPCM projects for mining equipment and infrastructure are best managed as close to the structural steel fabricator as practically possible.

ECPM majors are too expensive and too inexperienced with the needs of a lean operation. Hiring in-house full time project teams creates risk for miners outside of their core competencies as a business. Lean EPCM was designed to solve this problem and save you money. Collectively, the Virago Team is responsible for the execution of over one hundred projects in 16 countries totaling over $1 billion in value. We can put your project on a Fast Track Schedule where engineering, procurement and construction can run on overlapping paths, leading to a faster schedule and better cost control. We offer a full suite of Lean EPCM services and consultation for projects up to $50 million.​
