Environmental training for project, design and procurement teams

Environmental requirements influence solution selection, procurement specifications and project acceptance. We train project, design and procurement teams to incorporate these issues into everyday decisions and provide suppliers and designers with the information needed to develop solutions suited to the intended application.

Turning environmental requirements into project specifications

The programme focuses on the interfaces between the developer, design team and procurement. We examine situations where missing equipment data, unclear operating conditions or late recognition of an environmental constraint complicates project delivery. Participants learn to organise requirements during early planning and identify the information needed for a meaningful comparison of proposed solutions.

Practical work follows the structure of a specification: from the environmental objective to a technical parameter and the evidence needed to demonstrate it. We discuss questions for suppliers, the difference between declared data and data relevant to a particular application, and topics requiring specialist analysis. Particular attention is given to passing agreed requirements between teams and project stages.

Training is tailored to the types of project and the responsibilities of participants. The principles support better specifications but do not replace design calculations or assessment of a specific quotation. Questions drawn from actual work help identify the necessary information and the points at which an appropriate specialist should join the project team.

What you receive

You receive a programme, materials and training focused on the work of project, design and procurement teams. The materials help organise requirements, request relevant technical information and define how it should be checked. They provide a shared reference for specification development, supplier discussions and the handover of agreed requirements between people responsible for the project.
