ExxonMobil
challenge
WD Partners has been providing architecture and engineering services for ExxonMobil since 1996. As the global prototype architects, WD was asked to develop a flexible family of prototypes so that ExxonMobil could easily use different sizes and configurations in its major world market areas.
solution
- WD's highly detailed and prescriptive prototype limits variations in equipment and materials, while still allowing for adaptation to local practices and conditions
- Provided construction drawings for the US, Europe and Asia that minimize change orders, avoid corresponding construction delays, and enforce ExxonMobil's global procurement process
- Strategic sourcing of equipment per the standards improves operational efficiency and controls maintenance and repair costs
- ExxonMobil has earned a high rate of return on their investment across their total development cycle
