Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) Awards

Kenny has been involved with AWP from its earliest inception when he worked at CommonPoint developing AWP software tools under the guidance of Bill McSherry and Ted Blackmon. Kenny supported countless projects and teams in adopting AWP as well a ConstructSim. Kenny’s background in the piping trades and ability to interact with the digital world earned him respect as a highly sought-after subject matter expert. In 2017, Kenny joined Construct-X and began supporting the development of Dow’s AWP Program under the leadership of Deb McNeil and John Coombs. It didn’t take long for Dow to recognize Kenny’s capability and hired him as the Workface Planning Global Improvement Leader to build Dow’s AWP Program to roll out across the enterprise. Under Kenny’s leadership, the initial launch of Dow’s AWP Program on their first pilot was a resounding well documented success that has been generously shared with industry. Kenny has worked tirelessly in furthering Dow’s success including building an enviable team of subject matter experts that he deploys to projects and working with both internal and external stakeholders to support and continuously improve the AWP experience at Dow.

Jay Moser with Shell has actively been involved with the implementation of AWP at the owner level since it was first named a best practice by the Construction Industry Institute. He’s been integral to educating the industrial construction market from the owners’ perspective by participating in conferences, global communities of practice groups, and other AWP-focused events. He also inspired the CII AWP Community for Business Advancement to create standard data requirements, which resulted in one of the fastest Joint Work Group deliverables – a 6 month labor of love by the technical team. That group continues to iterate on other AWP data specific challenges. Jay’s ability to educate and innovate linking people, technology, and processes, is unrivaled. It is clear he is passionate about improving project outcomes, even when faced with resistance to change. We are excited to see how he leads into the future. Congratulations Jay!!

This project was part of a multi-billion dollar project with global reach, the definition of a large project. Shell and JGC planned and executed the installation of the first core process module of the Canadian liquefied natural gas(LNG) project. The module was built by China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), was completed and delivered at the Qingdao site using AWP principles. The team should be complemented for their focus and attention to detail, just the start of more great things to come.
