SHELL Petrol Stations
Spain

Client:
Shell España, S.A.
Consultant:
Watts
Service:
Project Management
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 provided a project management service for each particular job. A close relationship with the client's engineering department was paramount to the success of each project. Once the individual service stations were completed, Watts managed the handover to the engineer in charge. During the warranty period, Watts oversaw the making good of defects, and liaised with the dealer and the contractors.


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.
