The pandemic saw delayed project schedules, revised estimated project costs and postponed FIDs in an effort to preserve cashflow and mitigate risk.
In 2021 and beyond, winners of downstream construction will be those who match CAPEX to returning demands, master the art of digital construction and deliver execution excellence.
The Engineering & Construction Technical Track will unite project leads from across from major project owners and EPCs with technology, equipment and solution providers across a host of virtual & in-person sessions to identify, discuss and overcome key challenges to holding back CAPEX ROI.
