Overview

Since 2019, Teknobuilt has partnered with a leading joint venture to support a large-scale Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) project, aiming to expand production capacity by over 30%, reaching 30 million tonnes per annum (mtpa). The project involved the addition of a Complete Train (CT) and a shared Liquefaction Unit (CLU), contributing approximately 8 mtpa.

Teknobuilt deployed its flagship platform, PACE OS, along with expert consulting services to deliver a digitally unified, real-time project execution strategy—enabling greater speed, coordination, and assurance from design to delivery.

Challenge

The complexity of the project posed several challenges, typical of global LNG megaprojects:

  • Cross-continental team coordination was hindered by time zones, misaligned processes, and siloed communications.
  • Disparate technologies and legacy systems created significant data fragmentation and hindered collaboration across stakeholders.
  • Manual workflows and lack of real-time visibility led to delays, inefficiencies, and safety risks.
  • Thousands of design documents and engineering changes had to be integrated smoothly to avoid rework and confusion.
  • Supply chain visibility was limited, making resource planning and material tracking challenging at scale.

Resolve

To address these pain points, Teknobuilt implemented its PACE OS platform as a non-disruptive digital overlay, streamlining operations through real-time data integration and workflow automation.

Key strategies included:

  • Unified Data Architecture: Integration of over 15 legacy systems via APIs, enabling seamless data exchange across engineering, procurement, and construction disciplines.
  • End-to-End Workflow Containerization: Departments from civil and mechanical to commissioning and supply chain were digitally aligned using AWP and Lean methodologies.
  • Proactive Visibility: The PACE Digital Control Tower provided daily, activity-level insights to all teams, enhancing early issue detection and real-time decision-making.
  • Supply Chain Enablement: For the first time at this scale, materials and commodities were digitally tracked from vendor to site, enabling confident six-month planning by workface planners.
  • Expert Consulting & Onboarding: Teknobuilt’s SMEs and Transformation Engineers provided tailored guidance, conducted focus group sessions, and ensured rapid and smooth platform adoption.

Impact

The implementation of Teknobuilt’s PACE OS platform delivered measurable outcomes:

  • 18.6% increase in productivity, with reduced man-hours across civil, steel, piping, and electrical packages.
  • 3–4 months of delay compressed to 1–3 weeks, significantly improving project timeline reliability.
  • Over 10,000 design deliverables condensed into 1,400 structured work packages, simplifying scope management.
  • Real-time coordination between globally distributed teams enhanced transparency, reduced rework, and fostered trust.
  • Improved safety management, enabled by clear communication channels and data consistency.
  • Positive client feedback from leadership in Italy and Korea underscored the project’s success, highlighting easy tool adoption and tangible time and cost savings.
