What is the overall size of Global EPC business in FY 2022-23 and what percentage comes from the Chemicals, Petrochemicals, and Energy sector? Forecast for FY 2023-24?

The global EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) market is expected to be around US $8,000 billion in FY 2022-23. Favorable government norms towards reduction of carbon emissions and increasing production of renewable energy will boost EPC market growth. With a lot of old infrastructure, the demand for redevelopment projects is expected to be high in future.

Increased government expenditure on infrastructure as well as private Capex would boost the Indian EPC sector and will have an impact on the steep increase in Capex outlay of around 32% from Rs. 7.5 lakh crore to Rs. 10 lakh crore.

What's the impact of digital transformation technologies on SES? How are you helping your client?

SES is at forefront while adopting digital solutions for quality and quick delivery and helping them to operationalize their capex cycle and investment. Some of the key solutions that we regularly use are Laser Scan and Drone Survey.

Laser Scan – They are very effective for any capacity addition, modification, debottlenecking, or brownfield project requirement. All the data related to existing plant setup can be very accurately captured using a laser scanner. This data can be used for super imposed modelling, where you can see old plants and new recommended modifications together. This helps in construction sequencing, reducing the downtime, and optimization of existing setup. We are focusing on drone survey, construction camera, 3D Modelling and VR (Virtual Reality).

Drone Survey – Contour mapping, topography survey, remote construction progress monitoring, thermography survey, inspection and many applications are associated with drones; Construction Camera – Construction progress, real time update, comparison, contractor mobilization details, security all these applications are associated with construction camera solutions. With app base interface SES helps its clients to monitor their sites remotely; and 3D modelling & VR – Visualization of your plant and immersive walkthrough and training are well known use cases of these solutions.
