“Everybody is aware of the environment and that there
are things that need to be done. All people can do is
try to be efficient and always reduce, recycle and reuse
when they can. I think the construction industry is
well-placed to address those challenges.”
– Fazli Shah, Keller Canada

who is one-stop shop rather than dealing
with two companies.”
Shah notes the benefit to piling
companies and their customers is that
it can be more cost effective.
“For example, if a company is able to
offer two or three different techniques,
they can sometimes share resources
internally because some of the
resources may not be needed all the
time,” he said.
“So, if you have support equipment
and it can serve two rigs working two
different techniques, you save money
and then ultimately the savings can be
passed on to your client as well.”
Hague says within Europe, there’s
also a growing movement by construction
businesses to adopt more of a package
approach to services rather than offering
a single service.
“Companies are wanting to place
package work more so they can offer
more techniques, more solutions,”
Hague said. “It’s certainly a trend that
we’re seeing more and more in the U.K.
and in the rest of Europe as well, especially
in Poland.
“Instead of splitting a contract to
different elements, there’ll be a single
order for a multiple-discipline contract.
Some feedback we get is that it’s more
manageable with the single commercial
terms and there’s more ownership.”
However, Hauge notes that this
approach may not always be the
best decision.
“If the project is price focused,
sometimes splitting up the packages is
more commercially beneficial,” he said.
“Plus, from a risk point of view, you
may want to spread your risk across a
number of packages.”
