Project management for utilities that still own the asset after the project ends

Utility work mixes capital projects, maintenance, contractors, and a regulator who wants the file. Sigmaviu keeps the project schedule, the asset, the contractor evidence, and the safety inspections in one organization.

Utility PMO, asset, and contractor-management leads.

Portfolio-style cost and schedule position for utility capital work.

What changes

  1. 01

    Work tied to the asset

    A project can commission, maintain, or retire an asset, with inspections stored on that asset.

  2. 02

    Contractors with evidence

    Qualification packs track insurance and compliance items, files, and expiry, with reminders before dates lapse.

  3. 03

    A programme view

    Portfolio health shows budget and open risks across projects so a capital plan is not a folder of spreadsheets.

How Sigmaviu handles this

Capital schedule

WBS, baselines, and variance stay on the project. Imports preview the mapping before they write.

Maintenance context

Work orders and preventive maintenance live with the asset, and the asset can point back at the project task.

Public-record habits

Document versions, approval history, and evidence packs give you a file you can export without rebuilding it by hand.

Outage-adjacent work

Use the schedule and safety permits for the project work you control. Switching orders and network models stay in your operational systems.

A working sequence

  1. 1

    Name the asset

    Attach the project to the asset and the lifecycle phase.

  2. 2

    Qualify the contractor

    Collect insurance and compliance files before the PO or subcontract.

  3. 3

    Run the outage window

    Schedule the work and file permits and inspections against it.

  4. 4

    Return to service

    Close punch, update the asset phase, and keep the pack.

Scope

This is project, asset, safety, and contractor evidence management. It is not an outage-management, GIS, or ADMS system.

Questions buyers ask

Can we block work when insurance is expired?

Vendor settings can gate purchasing and subcontract compliance on qualification status. Configure that under your vendor module settings.

Do regulators get a login?

You can publish selected project information to a client portal, or export an evidence pack. A regulator login is only what you choose to share.

How are inspections linked?

Safety inspections can reference both the asset and a project WBS activity, and can appear on the schedule layer.
