Philosophy

Our strategic goal is to provide excellence in engineering, planning, monitoring and controlling; every project, every time.

Our core values

PROTOP are building a culture where our workmates are valued, supported and encouraged. We aim to foster a diverse environment that focuses on our 4 core values of: People, Time, Cost and Quality.

People
We communicate openly and respectfully to all stakeholders. Our client is our first priority and we place the customer support at the centre of our operations. Our staff and contractors are our strength; we have a team of friends who enjoy working together to achieve excellence in the work we deliver.

Time

Time coordination and systematic approach in the scheduling of our services is critical to guarantee our client the most efficient project delivery. We carefully plan and schedule the various work packages and the interdependencies to ensure realistic timing is presented to our client.

Cost
Cost considerations are the key focus in the project management services and are communicated to the client clearly and coherently. Various options and strategies are explored, and an optimised cost strategy is selected in all of our undertakings.

Quality
We aim to deliver our innovative and sustainable project management services that cater to our client’s needs. PROTOP follows strict rules to ensure the quality of its products and a consistent systematic approach. We proudly implement our PROTOP Management System, which is inspired by the PMBOK®.

Planning

Planning is vital across all our project management services. 

Each project is carefully planned to ensure all management aspects have been taken into account with particular focus on the people involved, the quality of the deliverables, the timing requirements and the overall costs; all to achieve the highest expectations of our clients and stakeholders.

Our specialists, with expertise in the Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering disciplines, provide all the technical assistance required for professional and expert advice leading to the best possible engineering solution.

Our team has great expertise in pricing assessment, estimating, evaluation of tenders, and preparation of technical specifications.

PROTOP also offers specialised expertise in cable Factory Acceptance Test witnessing, as well as Factory Quality Inspection.

Project management

PROTOP applies the Project Management Philosophy to all of its projects. Once the planning process is complete and the scope of work is clearly identified, engineered, timed and costed, our team engages into a monitoring and controlling activity. 

Monitoring and controlling activities are custom tailored for any need, from simple controls aimed at following a project through its execution, to highly detailed monitoring and reporting activities aimed at complex project outcomes.

Our projects are kept under constant control, ensuring that every single aspect is taken care of as stipulated by the most exigent circumstances and project requirements. This is implemented via the establishment of KPIs,   audits and monitoring systems, fully documented with ad hoc reports.

Construction management

Our expertise in construction and manufacturing allows us to direct and manage work sites, and take care of safety aspects. All activities are done in accordance with WHS rules and regulations, providing the safest environment for workers, third party property and assets.

PROTOP services also include testing and commissioning  to ensure the installed assets and equipment perform according to set specifications.

The key to all activities is a thorough Risk Assessment, which is carefully prepared in collaboration with the Client and relevant stakeholders to ensure all risks are adequately considered and the necessary mitigation strategies are in place. 

Our Manufacturing and Construction managers also participate in the planning phase with the Engineering team to maximize the efficiency of any construction work, provide technical assistance and specialist expertise.
