EPC, short for engineering, procurement, and construction, represents a prevalent contract approach in the construction realm, commonly embraced by both project owners and contractors. Typically employed in large-scale infrastructure projects, particularly in the private sector, EPC contracts encompass the entire project lifecycle, from initial engineering design to procurement of construction materials and final project completion. Within the oil and gas industry, EPC contracts are pivotal, managed by specialised contractors ensuring project completion within stipulated timelines. These contracts entail intricate planning, design, and execution of cutting-edge systems for exploration endeavours, drilling platforms, storage facilities, and natural gas processing plants. Additionally, they contribute to optimising material handling processes, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Government investments in bridge and road development projects are driving EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) market growth. These projects demand specialised engineering expertise due to their intricate designs and necessitate specific machinery and equipment.

The global demand for engineering, procurement, and construction services is on the rise, driven by the growing development of power generating facilities and increasing energy consumption. This trend is expected to continue as energy consumption is projected to increase in the foreseeable future, driving the expansion of energy production facilities.
