Capital projects often struggle with fragmented data, inconsistent handovers, and delayed operational readiness. As noted, the transition from project to operations remains a major challenge, requiring better data management across the asset lifecycle. Wood’s Main Digital Contractor (MDC) model addresses this by building the digital asset alongside the physical one on a centralized platform using AVEVA Engineering and AVEVA AIM, enabling seamless project delivery, pre-operations, and operations. By integrating digital engineering, data validation, AI-enabled automation, and system integration, this lifecycle approach reduces rework, accelerates commissioning, and improves operational readiness, as demonstrated in projects like Chevron Anchor and Basrah Gas Company.
