Why Capital Projects Fail, It’s Not Engineering. It’s Execution.
In this episode of Wrench Talk, industry leaders Stephen Petch, Coleridge Shelley and Sajith Nair joins Chimbu Vazhoor to discuss ‘Why Capital Projects Fail’. They explore several key realities observed across capital projects with examples.
- Why delays occur between planning and actual field execution.
- Why construction teams often reach site without ready work fronts.
- Poor collaboration between engineering, procurement, and construction slows progress.
- How disconnected systems and teams create coordination gaps.
- Why traditional project management tools fail to provide real execution visibility.
