EPFC Services

Full-lifecycle Engineering, Procurement, Fabrication & Construction — one accountable team carrying gas processing and utility packages from concept through commissioning, with schedule and cost certainty built in from day one.

Overview

What EPFC means, and why it matters

EPFC — Engineering, Procurement, Fabrication & Construction — is a single-contract delivery model in which one contractor takes responsibility for a facility or process package from initial design through commissioned, operating equipment. It extends the traditional EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) model by folding shop fabrication explicitly into the scope, recognizing that for skid-mounted process packages and gas-processing units, the fabrication shop — not just the construction site — is where most of the value and risk actually sits.

Under an EPFC contract, a single team owns engineering design, equipment and material procurement, shop fabrication and testing, and final site construction and commissioning. That consolidation gives the client one point of accountability and one schedule to track, instead of coordinating separate engineering firms, fabrication shops, and construction contractors across a fragmented supply chain.

  • Single point of accountability from concept through commissioning
  • In-house engineering, procurement, fabrication & construction under one team
  • Shop-fabricated, factory-tested equipment reduces field risk & schedule variability
  • Applied across gas processing, separation, dehydration & utility packages
EPFC project delivery — engineering, fabrication & site construction
How It Works

One contract, five coordinated phases

EPFC compresses the traditional owner-coordinated project structure into a single, accountable delivery path.

1

Engineering & Design

Front-end and detailed engineering define the process, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation design against the client's operating requirements.

2

Procurement

Long-lead equipment, bulk materials, and instrumentation are procured and expedited against the master project schedule.

3

Fabrication

Vessels, skids, and process packages are built and factory-tested in a controlled shop environment, ahead of and in parallel with site works.

4

Construction

Site civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical works proceed in parallel with fabrication, minimizing overall project duration.

5

Commissioning & Handover

Pre-commissioning, commissioning, and performance testing bring the completed facility to operational handover under one accountable scope.

EPFC vs. Other Delivery Models

Why single-contract accountability matters

EPFC sits alongside EPC and EPCM as a project delivery model — the distinctions come down to who carries risk, and how fabrication is integrated into the scope.

EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction)
Single contractor for engineering, procurement & construction; fabrication is typically subcontracted separately
EPCM (Engineering, Procurement & Construction Management)
Owner retains control over construction contracts; the EPCM firm manages but does not carry construction risk
EPFC (Engineering, Procurement, Fabrication & Construction)
Shop fabrication is integrated directly into the single-contractor scope alongside engineering, procurement & construction
Risk Position
EPFC concentrates risk and accountability with one contractor, reducing coordination gaps between design, fabrication & site teams
Schedule Certainty
Parallel shop fabrication and site construction shortens overall project duration versus sequential, fully field-built delivery
Quality Control
Shop-based fabrication and testing under controlled conditions, versus field fabrication with variable site oversight
Shop fabrication running in parallel with site construction
Why Shop Fabrication Matters

The case for building off-site first

A large share of EPFC's schedule and cost advantage comes from shifting as much work as possible into the fabrication shop, ahead of and in parallel with site civil works. That shift changes the risk profile of the entire project.

  • Prefabrication and shop assembly generally shorten overall project timelines versus fully field-built construction
  • Production efficiencies in a controlled shop typically reduce cost versus extensive on-site labor
  • Quality control is easier to manage in a shop setting than across a distributed field workforce
  • Controlled shop conditions reduce the safety risk associated with prolonged on-site activity
