Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC)

Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) Logistics Solutions by 166 Global

Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) projects are among the most logistically complex undertakings in the world. From power plants and refineries to infrastructure megaprojects, EPC logistics requires meticulous planning, multi-origin coordination, and the ability to deliver critical equipment and materials to remote project sites on demanding timelines. At 166 Global Logistics, we provide specialized EPC logistics solutions that support every phase of the project lifecycle.

Our dedicated project logistics team works closely with EPC contractors, engineering firms, and procurement departments to develop integrated logistics plans that align with construction schedules, optimize costs, and mitigate supply chain risks. With experience across major industrial projects worldwide, we bring the expertise and global network needed to ensure your project stays on track.

Engineering Project Logistics & Planning

Successful EPC logistics begins with comprehensive planning during the engineering phase. 166 Global engages early in the project to develop logistics strategies that support efficient procurement and construction execution.

Logistics Feasibility Studies: We conduct detailed feasibility studies analyzing transport routes, port capabilities, road infrastructure, and site access constraints to identify optimal logistics solutions for your project.
Transport Engineering: Our transport engineers develop lifting and transport plans including weight distribution calculations, structural assessments, and securing specifications for all critical cargo pieces.
Schedule Integration: We integrate logistics planning directly with the project construction schedule, ensuring that equipment and materials arrive in the correct sequence to support construction milestones.
Risk Assessment & Mitigation: We identify potential logistics risks including weather windows, port congestion, customs delays, and road restrictions, developing contingency plans for each scenario.

Procurement Support & Vendor Logistics

EPC projects typically source equipment and materials from vendors across multiple countries. 166 Global provides comprehensive procurement logistics that coordinate shipments from all origins to the project site.

Multi-Origin Coordination: We manage logistics from dozens of vendors across different countries, consolidating shipments, optimizing transport routes, and ensuring synchronized delivery to the project site.
Vendor Compliance Management: We work with procurement teams to ensure vendors meet shipping specifications, packaging standards, and documentation requirements before cargo is dispatched.
Ex-Works Collection: We arrange pickup from vendor facilities worldwide, managing all transport, export customs, and documentation from the point of origin.
Consolidation Hubs: We operate consolidation hubs at strategic locations to combine shipments from multiple vendors into optimized container loads, reducing freight costs and simplifying site receiving.

Construction Materials & Modular Equipment Transport

Transporting construction materials, prefabricated structures, and modular equipment to project sites requires specialized logistics expertise and equipment.

Structural Steel & Rebar: We manage the transport of structural steel, reinforcing bar, and pre-fabricated steel structures from mills and fabrication shops to construction sites.
Modular & Prefabricated Units: We specialize in the transport of prefabricated modules, skid-mounted equipment, and containerized process units that require oversized transport and specialized handling.
Bulk Construction Materials: We coordinate the delivery of cement, aggregates, timber, and other bulk construction materials with efficient multi-modal logistics solutions.
Crane & Heavy Lift Equipment: We arrange and coordinate crane and heavy lift equipment for installation at project sites, including mobile cranes, crawler cranes, and gantry systems.

Power Plant & Process Equipment

Power plant construction and process facility builds require the transport of massive, high-value equipment that demands expert logistics management.

Turbines & Generators: We manage the complete transport chain for gas turbines, steam turbines, and generators including factory loading, marine transport, port handling, and final delivery to site.
Boilers & Heat Recovery Units: We handle the oversized transport of boiler components, heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs), and associated equipment.
Transformers & Electrical Equipment: Our specialized transport solutions for power transformers include shock monitoring, tilt indicators, and nitrogen-blanket protection during transit.
Piping & Instrumentation: We manage the logistics of pre-fabricated piping spools, instrumentation packages, and control systems requiring careful handling and sequenced delivery.

Site Logistics & Last-Mile Delivery

Getting cargo to the project site often involves challenging last-mile logistics. 166 Global provides comprehensive site logistics solutions.

Site Access Engineering: We assess and where necessary improve site access routes, including road widening, bridge strengthening, and temporary road construction.
Laydown Area Management: We manage cargo laydown areas at the project site, organizing receipt, inspection, and storage of incoming materials and equipment.
Sequential Delivery: We coordinate deliveries in the sequence required by the construction schedule, ensuring materials arrive when and where they are needed.
