Bravida's business area PMO – Special Projects plans, executes, manages and implements large and advanced projects that require unique expertise, such as major infrastructure projects, data centres or advanced industrial projects. With Bravida's 100 years of experience, we are a financially stable partner with both expertise and resources.
With PMO - Special Projects you are offered a partnership that starts immediately at the feasibility study. The earlier we get into the process, the better. We know how to minimise risks and achieve cost-effectiveness and are therefore the best advisor right from the initial planning stage. We offer a scalable organisation that is tailored to each project, we are very flexible - even during ongoing projects. We utilise expertise both from our own organisation and from our wide external network of contacts.
Partnering with Bravida throughout the project you will benefit from our structured approach. We have established models for project management, design and follow-up, and our management system is based on 100 years of experience combined with international project management methodology (PMBOK).
*BIM (Building Information Modeling) is a collaborative way for multidisciplinary information storing, sharing, exchanging, and managing throughout the entire building project lifecycle including planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and demolition phase (Eastman et al., 2011).
In the project's feasibility study, we act as your advisor, and you benefit from our extensive knowledge and experience in:
During the project start-up phase, Bravida places great emphasis on the actual planning work to ensure that implementation is as efficient as possible. With our planning tool - which acts as a link between manufacturing, delivery, suppliers and clients - we ensure the right delivery, at the right time, with the right resources, materials and tools for everything from design to production.
Bravida has also developed its own working method for BIM* and modelling. This method combines 3D models with cost and schedule data into an information-rich 5D model. This model is a practical tool for sharing information between site and office and helps us to run our large projects efficiently.
We also offer a system for the large number of change requests that always arise in complex projects. We manage them by:
Bravida uses WBS - Work Breakdown Structure - to describe all the activities in a project, and group them into different work packages. A work package can include:
Large projects also require large purchases and advanced logistics. Bravida always ensures just-in-time deliveries for both materials and subcontractors, and we work with centralised agreements. We monitor our subcontractors and guarantee a sustainable supply chain.
Health and safety are important areas in PMO projects. To create the best and safest working environment possible, we always have our own health and safety team on site during the production phase. We also devote a lot of resources to developing new technical solutions for better safety and ergonomics.
The progress and results of the work packages are monitored in real time through tools that are all linked to the 5D models developed at the start of the project. The methodology also allows for immediate corrections when needed. Finally, the tool stores the final documentation, requirements and as-built documentation.
Bravida's project plan also always includes several activities that ensure the right quality, on time and with the right resources, such as training, project improvements, management systems, project audits, supplier audits and more. We also have solid processes to follow up our subcontractors and ensure a sustainable supply chain.
During the closing phase, we ensure that the agreed product or service has been delivered, financial agreements have been fulfilled and that any errors or deficiencies in the contract have been rectified. We evaluate working methods and procedures and ensure that lessons learnt are recorded and recycled for future projects implementation. In this way, we are constantly improving!
Bravida PMO - Special Projects works primarily with projects in the infrastructure, data centres and new industry sectors. In all sectors, we work with a high degree of digitalisation, according to a structured project management methodology, and with a strong focus on health and safety.
PMO is currently working on the design and execution of installations for the E4 Stockholm Bypass motorway tunnel and the expansion of the Stockholm metro. PMO’s track record within the field consists of Norra länken, Södra länken, The Stockholm City Line, Astra Zeneca, Facebook Data Centre in Luleå, and data centres in the Mälardalen region.
Innovation that works – when and where it matters.
