For many utilities, the biggest project risks don’t come from poor design—they come from what happens after the drawings are stamped. Delays, miscommunication, rework, and coordination breakdowns often arise not from engineering errors, but from a lack of support during execution.
At Integrity, we bridge this critical gap with execution support services—a set of roles and processes that ensure engineering decisions are carried through to the field with accuracy, accountability, and consistency. If your utility is struggling to deliver projects on time and on budget, this may be the missing link you’ve been looking for.
What Is Execution Support?
Execution support refers to the boots-on-the-ground and behind-the-scenes roles that turn designs into reality. These functions aren’t always provided by traditional engineering firms, but they’re essential for success. They include:
- Field coordination and constructibility reviews
- Inspection and verification
- Material tracking and outage planning
- Schedule and stakeholder management
- As-built reconciliation and data documentation
These roles operate between engineering and construction—ensuring the “what” is aligned with the “how.”
Why Traditional Models Fall Short
In conventional delivery models, engineering firms hand off drawings and disappear. Construction teams are left to interpret design intent, navigate gaps, and resolve conflicts in real time. That creates a range of challenges:
- Delayed schedules due to field clarifications and rework
- Increased cost from change orders and material mismatches
- Safety risks due to unclear procedures or missed details
- Asset data gaps that affect long-term system reliability
Execution support fills these gaps—bringing the design to life with precision, speed, and safety.
The Integrity Approach to Execution Support
Our team integrates with utility workflows to provide tailored, embedded support across the project lifecycle. Key services include:
✅ Constructibility Reviews
We validate that designs can be safely and efficiently built—catching issues before they hit the field.
✅ Field Coordination & Site Walkdowns
Our teams collaborate directly with contractors and crews to clarify plans, verify conditions, and manage logistics.
✅ Inspection & Verification
Journeyman-level professionals inspect construction progress, update records, and ensure compliance with standards and safety protocols.
✅ As-Built Reconciliation & Documentation
We capture field changes in real time and update GIS and AutoCAD records—eliminating data discrepancies and supporting system reliability.
✅ Outage and Schedule Management
From coordinating switching schedules to tracking material delivery, our execution specialists keep projects moving forward.
The Payoff: Better Projects, Lower Risk
When execution support is in place, utilities experience:
- Fewer RFIs and change orders
- Faster field execution
- Improved quality and compliance
- Cleaner project closeout and turnover
- Better alignment between engineering, construction, and operations
It’s not just about finishing projects—it’s about finishing them right.
Engineering Is Just the Beginning
In utility projects, execution is where real value is created—or lost. Without a dedicated team to manage that handoff, even the best designs can falter. That’s why more utilities are turning to partners like Integrity who can deliver both engineering and execution support—seamlessly.
