Planning
Woh Hup's planners carry out a
meticulous evaluation of each project and establish an efficient methodology
for engineering, procurement and construction sequenced activities which are
planned with logistical support to ensure that milestones are achieved.
Engineering Design Management
Designing and
building projects and alternative design schemes are managed through our team
of dedicated Professional Engineers based in our technical department.
Design briefs and conceptual layouts are discussed with the client's
representative to establish project budgets and preferred material and
equipment to be used. Value engineering exercises are carried out to
determine the best solutions to meet the client's needs. An engineering,
procurement and construction (EPC) approach is applied in executing the work,
with engineering programmes listed to schedule the subsequent activities.
Procurement
At the beginning of
each project, a procurement schedule is prepared for all manner of material,
equipment and subcontract services to be outsourced. Great care is taken in
selecting the right supplier for the job.
Woh Hup’s procurement team ascertains the ability of each supplier to comply
with both project specifications and schedule demands by means of a rigorous
evaluation procedure. In addition, the procurement team, in conjunction with
the Site Construction Manager, coordinates vendor inspections and the release
of material.
Safety and Environmental Policy
Woh Hup operates a stringent environmental, health and safety
program, certified to international recognised standards, BOWEC ISO 14001 in
Year 2002 and OHSAS 18001 in Year 2000.
Woh Hup’s OHS policy emphasises concentric management of the system where
everyone involved in a project bears responsibility for its effective
implementation.
Quality Assurance
Woh Hup operates a
quality system that is applied to all activities including overall project
control, management, planning, engineering, procurement, inspection &
testing and commissioning.
The quality system complies with the requirements of ISO 9001:2000 and was
the first quality system to be certified in Singapore for building and civil
engineering contracting. The system’s effectiveness is evaluated by an
independent team of qualified professionals within Woh Hup. The company has
been successful in creating values from its certified system as is reflected
in its continually high CONQUAS score and in the number of Construction
Excellence Awards obtained.
Research and Development
The company works
closely with local and international universities as well as research
organisations to undertake research and development projects, translating
findings into improvements for the construction process. Most recent projects
include the examination of the effects of moisture on marble tiles,
application of plasters, productivity measurement and forecasting software.
Security
Each project is
secured by fencing and controlled access and exit points. Permanent security
guards man the gates and patrol the site.
Training
Woh Hup is one of the few
Singaporean contractors who offer training to all employees. The company has
an in-house training program as well as two training centers in Myanmar and
Thailand.
