The scale and complexity of industrial projects is increasing the demand for efficient project execution, from the initial project conception through to completion and operation.
ABB has recognized that Main Automation Contractor (MAC) or Main Electrical Contractor (MEC) contracts are becoming the preferred strategy for customers in these fields to satisfy the technical and execution requirements for complex automation projects, often across several Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor boundaries or 'battery limits'. Consequently, ABB has invested in this area and now has proven experience in managing MAC and MEC contracts throughout the full project lifecycle from Front End Engineering and Design (FEED), Detailed Design, Engineering, Completion and Start-up.
