A Digitalized Design Risk Analysis Tool with Machine-Learning Algorithm for EPC Contractor's Technical Specifications Assessment on Bidding

Min-Ji Park et al.

Summary: Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) projects involve the entire lifecycle of industrial plants. Most EPC contractors lack systematic decision-making tools during bidding, leading to potential underestimation of technical risks and subsequent cost overruns or delays. The development of digital modules for technical risk extraction and design parameter extraction can significantly reduce project risks through automated analysis and extraction of risk clauses in technical specifications.
