Oresys’s experience regarding capital projects
Oresys has been involved in numerous emblematic capital projects:
Hinkley Point EPR nuclear facility in the UK
500km offshore France-Ireland Celtic Interconnector power link
Olympic Village for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games
Connection of 6 large offshore wind farms
Renovation of two major 400,000 -volt lines
Deployment of 11 million smart gas meters
High speed, Regional Express and subway lines extensions
Overhaul program extending the lifespan of nuclear power plants
Comprehensive renovation of the Renault 400,000 sq meters Technocentre
EDF Industrial Directorate is involved in the construction of two EPR reactors in the United Kingdom. Its contributions are highly critical to the project, particularly given the strong focus on equipment manufacturing quality and the transition to the assembly phase.
Oresys supported the project by:
•Conducting an organizational assessment of the Industrial Directorate, identifying five improvement initiatives, and scoping them
•Leading some of these initiatives, notably improving risk management and developing a PowerBI data visualization system for KPIs and industrial activity indicators.
Monthly steering committees are now considered highly valuable by stakeholders
•Implementing a SharePoint Manufacturing Hub, shared across several EDF directorates and the client, to enhance the exchange of project management information and documents. The Manufacturing Hub is widely appreciated by all project participants.
The Olympic Village required major works to clear the areas planned for its development. As part of this, RTE must dismantle four 225 kV high-voltage lines and relocate them into an underground tunnel, as well as move a 63 kV transformer substation.
Oresys implemented a project management framework for these infrastructure projects, covering scheduling, risk, and budget/cost tracking, and ensured regular monitoring. Oresys also provided contract management support during the tender phase for the design and construction of the technical gallery.
Risk analysis enabled the identification of potential bottlenecks, escalation of critical issues, and prioritization of actions during the construction phase.
A tool for assessing the maturity of large infrastructure project management across four dimensions:
•Organization responsible for major projects
•Large project resources
•Management of a major project
•Response to contingencies
This hands-on, operational approach, conducted over 2 to 3 weeks by an expert, focuses on the essentials and provides:
•A visual maturity assessment based on targeted interviews and a few workshops
•A benchmark against other organizations and sectors where a similar approach has been implemented
•Recommendations for priority improvement initiatives
