Dedicated offshore project teams
A team that works only on your projects, knows your standards, and stays with you across the programme rather than rotating between clients.
What "dedicated" means in practice
The distinction that matters is continuity. A shared resource model gives you engineers who are competent but who relearn your project each time they return to it. A dedicated team accumulates knowledge of your standards, your equipment, your reviewers' preferences and your recurring problems — and that accumulated knowledge is most of the value.
The team is named. You know who is on it, you interview them if you want to, and they do not get reassigned to another client because a different project got busy.
How the engagement is structured
| Aspect | Arrangement |
|---|---|
| Direction | You set priorities and allocate work directly to the team, as you would with your own staff. |
| Technical governance | IDAC reviews deliverables internally before issue. This is not optional — it is what makes the output trustworthy. |
| Systems | The team works in your document management, your drawing standards and your review workflow wherever possible. |
| Reporting | An agreed cadence — typically a weekly progress position and a named IDAC contact accountable for delivery. |
| Scaling | Headcount adjusts on agreed notice as the programme moves. |
| Knowledge retention | Documented so that a departure does not take project knowledge with it. |
A worked example
IDAC delivered EPC support for a 10 TPD compressed biogas plant through a project-based ODC — structural and mechanical design executed as an extension of the client's engineering function rather than as a series of discrete outsourced packages.
That engagement is also why our Plant 3D practice exists: the work demonstrated that clients wanted design ownership from us, not only verification of designs produced elsewhere.
