The Investigate-Design-Build (IDB) Approach
STRUCTURAL TECHNOLOGIES teams with our repair and maintenance licensees to offer our turnkey Investigate-Design-Build (IDB) approach to provide a seamless process from initial design through installation with single-source responsibility.
The combination of products, design support, engineering partners and contracting services allows us to deliver fully integrated delivery of solutions from initial problem investigation through final installation.
This approach is ideally suited for clients looking to perform repair and maintenance during scheduled turnarounds and outages.
The IDB delivery system brings value to our clients by:
Improving the delivery speed of projects
By reducing procurement stages and the need for redesigns or rebids, the IDB approach commonly reduces overall project duration by 33% or more.
Lowering costs and improving investments
The IDB approach significantly reduces the chances of redesigns and/or rebids while also requiring less in-house resources, shifting more of the investment to the asset itself rather than the process.
Enhancing project overall quality and safety
Alongside one of our exclusive contracting companies, we provide a single-source solution, improved communication, and shared accountability with the highest safety and quality control standards.
