Engineering and construction company TruGrid announced the early completion of three battery energy storage projects in the state of Texas, all delivered within initial budget limits. This operational achievement comes in a sector often affected by delays and cost overruns, particularly due to increasingly complex supply chains.
According to Josh Richardson, Chief Operating Officer of TruGrid, this success is attributed to stronger coordination between engineering, procurement and construction divisions. The projects faced challenges such as historic storms and delays in critical component deliveries, but were nonetheless completed on schedule.
Project management focused on resource alignment
TruGrid explained that project planning begins well before responding to tenders, with early alignment of resources, budgets and timelines. This approach is intended to avoid last-minute adjustments, which are often sources of additional costs.
Field teams, project managers and clients are kept informed through daily communication, ensuring transparency and rapid response capacity to unexpected events. TruGrid also indicated that working hours were extended when necessary to maintain project pace.
Structured investments in operational technology
TruGrid plans to strengthen its industrial capabilities by introducing technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics and automation. These tools aim to improve safety, reduce delivery times and increase project resilience in the face of climatic and logistical constraints.
Active in the construction of large-scale storage systems, the company seeks to consolidate its position in a North American market where demand remains strong. The projects delivered in Texas could support future tenders, in a context where storage infrastructure plays a growing role in grid stability.
“Every decision we take is directed at ensuring project success, as if it were our own,” said Richardson, highlighting the importance of human commitment in achieving these results.
