How EPC Fits in Critical Telecom Project Execution

Thursday, March 10 | 2 p.m. Eastern

Telecom infrastructure is a key asset to utilities and requires many facets of design and preparation to see a project to completion. Utilities that have many ongoing projects might not have the bandwidth or resources to manage all aspects of their project efficiently, including key steps of a job such as land acquisition, permitting, microwave path studies, frequency coordination, network design, civil engineering, electrical engineering and construction. Utilizing the engineer-procure-construct (EPC) model can reduce owners’ stress, protect them from risk and assist with successful execution of their projects.

Join us as we discuss the advantages of EPC and how a turnkey project solution can save time and money. We’ll explore the various services that can be provided through EPC, as well as the contract models used. The discussion will cover how EPC can be performed quicker and at a lower cost and the advantages in terms of scale, safety, quality and transfer of risk. We’ll also bust some myths associated with EPC and share some EPC-executed success stories.
