Work Packaging Overview

InEight Model allows visual work packaging to support an Advanced Work Packaging (AWP), Work Face Planning (WFP), or any other work scoping process.

Work Packaging breaks down projects into small, manageable scopes of work so that operation can be assigned to responsible supervision, executed, and tracked effectively. Within InEight, our approach is to break the work of your project into Construction Work Areas (CWAs), Construction Work Packages (CWPs), and Installation Work Packages (IWPs).

AWP activities span the entire project. Front-end planning and detailed engineering activities support enhanced execution at the work front. Project set-up and planning sessions establish the basis for coordinated construction, procurement, and engineering work packages (CWPs, PWPs, and EWPs).

AWP drives the WFP concepts to Engineering and Procurement. Drawings are issued to construction and vendors as complete Engineering Work Packages (EWP) and Procurement Work Packages (PWP) instead of individual drawing releases. The objective is to ensure all parties follow the project Path of Construction.
