From Glove to Data Center, what it takes.. As my working experience involves the full stages of Project Starting to Final hand over of any types of EPCIC contracts; roughly let me share the work flow. ‘- the client will perform Basic Design that involves rough costing, the capacity, market demand, market supply, location, etc.. ‘- the details will involve more Professional in various Disciplines to perform Pre-Concept, Concept/Feasibility Studies before continuing to the first E, Engineering Studies. ‘- Sometime the P for Procurement will start for items that take more than 6 months to procure (for example machinery to make Glove or Drive use in a Data Center). ‘- Once Engineering is completed, bidding documents will be prepared to select the right contractors/supplier to start the first C Construction. ‘- The I is for Installation of Internal works including machinery and facilities. ‘- Then the final C Commissioning with all authority approval and everything running in order before hand over to client. A most fast track project will take at least 2 years, with some projects can prolong to more than 5 years. We can see new Glove factories completed after the pandemic; the demand is NOT feasible for the constructed factories anymore. How about a Data Drive for a Data Center? Your guess is as good as mine..
