A Main Automation Contractor (MAC) provides project management, the supply of expertise, products, systems and services. It also provides interface management of the engineering suppliers to ensure common supply and takes responsibility for the data transfer between parties.
Initial concept design and Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) studies can be undertaken to rationalize process requirements leading to practical, optimal solutions.
MAC scope of supply
ABB has considerable experience in the MAC role for global projects and can take total responsibility for the management of the automation/ instrumentation, selection, manufacture, installation, commissioning and after-sales support.
A project sponsor will form a direct point of contact with ABBs Executive Management. He will work within a steering committee consisting of senior members of the clients project team. By assigning ABB as the MAC early in a project, ABB will gather engineering requirements, optimize the scope definition and therefore reduce both CAPEX and OPEX costs.
This also reduces the project schedule, engineering required and change requests. Where there are multiple contractors (EPCs) supplying the different process units, ABB will perform the interface management function to ensure a consistent, compatible solution.
This eliminates the need for the client or Project Management Contractor (PMC) to co-ordinate and pass information between many different parties.
