Tiivistelmä
This research aims to investigate and prioritize factors affecting the success of engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) projects in Iran, considering the dynamic nature of the manufacturing industry and the sensitivity of project implementation stages.
The study employed a qualitative study using a single case study based on an EPC project (wastewater treatment plant) in Iran. The interviews were focused on topics such as the definition of project success, project management, the main challenges of this project and the ways they were overcome. It also benefited from inputs from literature information regarding infrastructure, engineering and energy projects.
The study revealed, along with other aspects, that dedicating special attention to the initial phases contributes to the good performance of the project. A well-executed procurement phase combined with a well-performed engineering design contributed to minimizing risks such as change orders and selection of suppliers with a lack of qualification, which would impact the next phases. The proper selection of the management team was revealed to be an important factor affecting the schedule and the level of control of the project by the Owner. The results indicate that the contractor, project team, project manager, organization, employer, counsellor, external factors and project were key factors.
Although each project is unique and subject to its environment, political scenarios, and other variables, this thesis's findings can contribute to future engineering projects' success.
