Optimising EPC Contracts in COVID-19 Crisis

whitePaper | June 10, 2022

The coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19), the prolonged quarantine responsesand the enormous economic uncertainty are affecting the normal development of EPC contracts. EPC stands for Engineering, Procurement and Construction and is a prominent form of a contracting agreement in the construction industry. They are not only carried out in the construction sector, but also in other industries such as power generation, oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical, water treatment, mining, among other sectors. The EPC model is used where an owner or employer wishes to engage a contractor to undertake the engineering, procurement and construction of a project. Normally the EPC Contractor has to execute and deliver the project within an agreed time and budget, commonly known as a Lump Sum Turn Key (LSTK) Contract.

Digital Twin Cities: Framework and Global Practices

whitePaper | April 20, 2022

The continued growth and success of cities is one of the great triumphs of modern civilization. Cities are home to the majority of the world’s population and generate more than 80% of GDP. Rapid urbanization has also brought about new challenges as cities have struggled with congestion, pollution, increased carbon emissions, inequity and exposure to natural disasters such as floods and storms. The COVID-19 pandemic and climate change have further intensified these issues. The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development sets out the goal of “building inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable cities and communities”. Whereas these goals may be universally accepted, the path to get there is not as clear. Innovation and empowerment of digital technology are critical to transforming our cities. Policy support and institutional change are also essential.

Microclimate Simulation for Urban Design

whitePaper | June 9, 2022

The built environment needs continuous adaptation to global population changes, the adverse effects of climate change, and evolving occupant requirements. To meet these evolving challenges, architects and engineers require access to highfidelity design simulation tools to accurately predict complex behavior in buildings and cities. SimScale enables architects and engineers to integrate physics-based simulation into their entire design workflow starting from the earliest stages where critical design decisions are made. Rapid assessments of the microclimate impacts on design for example, are now possible using the simple and intuitive workflow in SimScale
