Production Facilities – Sertum Consulting

Traditional Production Facilities and Early Production Facilities (EPFs) differ primarily in their engineering and construction execution models, while both are capable of delivering the same high-quality product.

When a project is approached in EPF mode, based on standardization and modularization, clients can expect delivery times reduced by at least half, without compromising on product quality or operational safety.

EPF engineering focuses on standardized, modular designs that enable fast deployment and transportability, allowing clients to adopt flexible business models, including Build-Own-Operate (BOO) solutions.
