Mobilisation and operating model
Agree the assignment, working hours, coverage, escalation routes and decision rights. Define who provides information, who verifies it and who acts on the findings.
Service 06 / Project coordination
MCR – Main Control Room
Project-controls coordination and reporting. Plant operations, permits and site authorisations remain with the responsible organisations.
Purpose & approach
Fast-moving work needs dependable project information.
When multiple teams are working in parallel, information can change faster than the formal reporting cycle. An MCR establishes the agreed information flow, review cadence and escalation route so the people coordinating execution can act with a shared understanding.

Review work-front readiness, isolate exceptions and inspect the owner and next review for each action.

Scope of support
What we do.
The service is tailored to the assignment. We agree the scope, required inputs and acceptance criteria before delivery.
Integrated project reporting
Bring schedule, readiness, constraints and selected site records into a common view. Make the update time and unresolved information gaps visible.
Short-interval coordination
Support daily or shift-based planning and review meetings. Connect the immediate work plan with prerequisites, handovers and outstanding actions.
Readiness and constraints
Track access, permits, materials, design information and other agreed prerequisites. Highlight blockers and the owners responsible for resolving them.
Exception reporting and escalation
Identify deviations that need attention and prepare focused reports. Route issues through the agreed escalation process, with a clear account of the supporting information.
Decisions, actions and handover
Maintain action and decision records, follow up commitments and organise shift or team handovers. Preserve continuity as priorities and personnel change.
Inside the room
Four example information states.
This example distinguishes verified, provisional, missing and stale information. Each state uses text as well as colour. Project status definitions, review intervals and escalation thresholds are agreed for the assignment.
Access, information owners and escalation routes are agreed with the client. This example does not prescribe the site’s access or permit procedures.
