The contractor Trugrid, based in the USA, has completed three battery installations in Texas in front of the schedule and within the budget, despite weather disorders and logistical challenges, which usually affect such projects.
The engineering and construction companies Truugrid announced the early completion of three battery energy storage projects in the state of Texas, all of which were delivered within the initial budget limits. This operational performance is carried out in a sector that is often affected by delays and costs, especially due to increasingly complex supply chains.
According to Josh Richardson, Chief Operating Officer from Trugrid, this success is attributed to more coordination between engineering, procurement and construction departments. The projects faced challenges such as historical storms and delays in critical component deliveries, but were completed prematurely.
Project management focused on the resource orientation
Trugrid explained that project planning begins well before the response to tenders, with an early alignment of resources, budgets and schedules. This approach is intended to avoid last-minute adjustments, which are often additional sources of cost.
Field teams, project managers and customers are kept up to date through daily communication to ensure transparency and fast reaction capacity for unexpected events. Trugrid also stated that working hours were extended if necessary to maintain the project pace.
Structured investments in operating technology
Trugrid plans to strengthen its industrial skills by introducing technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics and automation. These instruments aim to improve security, reduce delivery times and increase project resilience in the face of climatic and logistical restrictions.
The company is active in the construction of large storage systems and tries to consolidate its position in a North American market where demand is still strong. The projects carried out in Texas could support future tenders in a context in which the memory infrastructure plays a growing role in the stability of the networks.
“Every decision we make aims to ensure the project's success as if it were our own,” said Richardson and emphasized the importance of human engagement for achieving these results.
