Question 1

At what project stage should we bring DyCat in?

Accepted Answer

The earlier the better, ideally at Pre-FEED or FEED. This is when decisions about civil footprint, module sizing, and discipline coordination still have the most impact on cost and schedule. Engaging DyCat after detailed design has begun significantly reduces the value they can add.

Question 2

We're already in FEED, is it too late to modularize?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily, but scope matters. If module boundaries haven’t been locked and civil foundations aren’t finalized, there’s still meaningful opportunity. The honest answer is: the later you engage, the narrower the gains. A quick modularization opportunity review will tell you within days what’s still on the table, and what isn’t.

Question 3

Do you work directly with utility owners, EPCs, or both?

Accepted Answer

DyCat works with both. Utility owners benefit from independent assessments and governance, while EPC teams benefit from embedded modularization expertise and training. The engagement model is tailored depending on who holds execution accountability on your project.

Question 4

What types of power generation projects do you support?

Accepted Answer

DyCat's methods apply across generation types, including gas-fired, renewable, nuclear-adjacent balance-of-plant, and utility-scale battery storage. The modularization and lean principles are technology-agnostic; what matters is project complexity, site constraints, and schedule pressure.

Question 5

How is a Cold Eyes Review different from a standard project audit?

Accepted Answer

A Cold Eyes Review is not an audit of past performance, it's a forward-looking risk and opportunity assessment conducted by external specialists with no prior involvement in the project. The goal is to surface blind spots in modular strategy before they become field problems, not to assign blame after the fact.

Question 6

Our team has done modular projects before. Why would we need DyCat?

Accepted Answer

Experience with modular projects doesn't always translate into optimized modular strategy. DyCat brings 200+ years of combined expertise specifically in modularization methodology, layout optimization, and lean execution, areas where even experienced teams often have gaps that only show up during commissioning or energization.

Question 7

How long does a typical engagement take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the service. A Cold Eyes Review or Modularization Opportunity Review can be completed in a matter of weeks. Training programs are typically delivered over days to weeks. Full project coaching and mentoring engagements run alongside the project lifecycle, often from Pre-FEED through execution.

Question 8

Can DyCat help if we're working on a remote or logistically challenging site?

Accepted Answer

Yes, remote sites are actually one of the strongest use cases for modularization. Shifting fabrication off-site to a controlled yard environment reduces your field labor exposure, limits weather risk, and simplifies logistics by delivering installation-ready units rather than raw materials and components.

Question 9

What does "Total Installed Cost" savings actually include?

Accepted Answer

TIC savings come from a combination of reduced field labor hours, fewer engineering rework cycles, smaller civil footprints, compressed schedules, and lower procurement complexity through standardization. The 5–25% range reflects real project outcomes and varies based on how early modularization is embedded and how complex the project is.

Question 10

Do you provide ongoing support after training or evaluations are delivered?

Accepted Answer

Yes. DyCat offers coaching and mentoring that can continue through execution phases. Many clients use DyCat as an ongoing sounding board and governance layer, particularly on first-of-kind modular programs, to ensure lessons from the design phase are carried through to the field.

Question 11

How do we know if our power project is actually a good candidate for modularization?

Accepted Answer

Not every project benefits equally. Key indicators include remote or constrained site access, tight energization windows, repetitive equipment configurations, labor cost exposure in the field, and portfolio-scale opportunities for standardization. DyCat's Modularization Opportunity Review is specifically designed to answer this question with data, not assumptions.

Modularization for Power Generation Projects

Why Power Projects Consistently Fall Short of Their Energization Targets

The Grid Won't Wait. Your Execution Model Needs to Catch Up.

Fixed Windows Missed energization deadlines trigger revenue loss, contractual penalties, and extended project delays.

Site Constraints Remote power sites increase labor costs, logistics complexity, and weather-related construction delays.

Coordination Failures Disconnected project teams create field clashes, rework, commissioning issues, and schedule delays.

Equipment Delays Long equipment lead times compress schedules and create costly project execution bottlenecks.

Repeated Engineering Custom layouts and one-off execution strategies increase engineering hours, variability, and reduce scalability.
