Land

GRID ties together Percheron’s database system (provided by Canyon Digital’s CityVerse) with our mapping system (provided by ESRI’s ArcGIS Online). 

GRID Viewer utilizes the ESRI ArcGIS Online Webmap applications, in combination with our database and reporting tools, we can provide a one-stop-shop for viewing, tracking, and reporting. 

GRID Database, powered by Cityverse, is a web-based database that allows users to assign tasks, manage workflows, and automate document generations.  GRID is the perfect solution to create, retain and manage your documents from the start of your project through managing the asset long-term.  The database integrates with ArcGIS online to provide project information at a parcel level with various basemap details. Our advanced reporting/analytics tools tie together the data from Cityverse and ArcGIS Online to provide our clients with the most comprehensive view of their projects. 

Engineering

The Engineering team utilizes Technical Toolboxes, PIVVOT and Omega PIMS to manage projects, tracking and provide quality deliverables to our clients. 

Technical Toolboxes is a leader and innovator for various Pipeline Engineering software solutions throughout the oil & gas sector. The platform houses various software applications that cover the full pipeline life cycle process from conception to design, construction, commissioning, operations, maintenance, and integrity.  As with other TT calculations and reports, the HDD Module calculations are accepted by regulatory agencies throughout the US regarding Drilling Fluid Management and Hydraulic Fracture Analysis. 

PIVVOT platform streamlines siting, suitability analysis routing and permitting with location intelligence.  The platform provides continuously updated data including:  boundary, geotechnical, hydrology, land use and property ownership, energy, and infrastructure, jurisdictional, community and society, and ecology.  With this up-to-date information, facility siting and utility routing tasks are performed in hours instead of days. 

Omega PIMS document control tool allows for each discipline to markup drawings, progress, maintain, save each “layer” or revision of each deliverable. All Percheron employees have access to PIMS, as well as client’s Project Manager to allow update and review documents.  PIMS also provides Project Controls overview of the cost, progress and manpower on the project. PIMS utilizes the document progress to develop earned value management estimates. 

Your project won't crash with Percheron. We blend the right people with top notch software, equipment and technology.

Which Type of Employer are You?

When a hazard is found by OSHA, each employer on the job is tagged as either creating, exposing, correcting, or controlling. In fact, at times, an employer can be characterized as more than one type of employer. With so many different types of employer tags, it is important to understand each type so that you can have a plan for responding to hazards and keeping everyone on the job site safe.

At Percheron, we understand that successfully tracking project performance and quality across multiple disciplines and phases of a project can seem impossible with limited internal resources. Offering a centralized business solution, Percheron implemented the Project Management Office (PMO), to provide transparent, end-to-end project metrics.

For each of your projects, Percheron’s PMO offers:

• Integrated Reporting: Using Microsofts's Power BI Platform, we are able to integrate multiple project and cost tracking databases into one consolidated report. This single report provides you easy access to all key project performance and forecasting data. Example Power BI Report

• Project Analysis: PMO evaluates all available project data against the set baseline. Based upon project management training and incorporation of common principles, we provide solutions to produce an on-budget and on-time performance.

• Continuous Evaluation and Improvement: The production of accurate and quality deliverables comes from the continuous evaluations of our PMO process. Consist teamwork with subject matter experts and today's technical advances gives us the knowledge to implement the best available system for project success.
