Engineering, procurement and construction

Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) refers to a process followed to make big things like buildings, power plants, bridges, and roads. It involves three main steps:

1. Engineering: This is a process where engineers work together to design or plan the project. They think about how the thing will work, how it will look, and how to build it.

2. Procurement: In this step, the engineers figure out what materials and equipment they need to build the project. Then they order them from companies that make or sell the things they need.

3. Construction: This is where the actual building process starts. The workers use the materials and equipment ordered and build the project according to the design made by engineers.

To summarize, EPC is a way to build big things where engineers plan, order, and build in a sequence. It is like solving a big puzzle by first figuring out what pieces you need, then ordering them, and then putting them together in a specific way to make the puzzle complete.
