SHELL Petrol Stations
Spain

Client:
Shell España, S.A.
Consultant:
Watts
Service:
Cost Consultancy and Neighbourly Matters
Project Cost:
5-15 million euros (per year)

Watts monitored the refurbishment of over 300 Shell service stations throughout Spain. This included monitoring mechanical installations, petrol pump replacements, and the construction of new stations. Each project was divided into four phases, which comprised: a feasibility study, including a layout and a cost estimate; tender and quotation analysis, with a target proposal; purchase orders and construction reports; and a handover and warranty period.

Watts monitored planned expenditure and ongoing costs, to ensure that any additional costs were justified and approved. Financial account summaries were verified monthly to ensure suppliers and contractors were paid. Watts provided the client with regular reports, from the initial feasibility stage, so that the client could compare the first budget with the final estimate and the capital spent.


This is a pan-European project undertaken by Atkins and Shell. It covers several countries such as Portugal, France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Ireland and the UK. Watts works on behalf of Atkins in Spain, so is in continuous contact with relevant parties in those locations.
