AI Population

    From EPC handover pack to a running project.

    Deskely's AI reads the handover documentation, removes the duplicates, classifies what is left, and clusters it into systems and subsystems — so project setup takes weeks instead of a year.

    Weeks

    Not a year

    From EPC handover pack to a structured, executable project model your engineers have confirmed.

    1 pass

    Deduplication

    Duplicate tags and documents spread across handover packages are collapsed into a single source of truth.

    100%

    Human-confirmed

    Template design, assignments, and sign-off flows are always approved by senior engineers before go-live.

    The Problem

    The project exists on paper long before it exists in a system.

    An EPC handover pack is not a project model. It is thousands of files produced by different contractors, at different times, under different conventions — tag registers, system breakdowns, vendor packages, and index exports that were never designed to agree with each other.

    Turning that into something a commissioning team can execute against means deduplicating tags that appear five times in four formats, deciding which description is authoritative, assigning every tag to a system and subsystem, and mapping the whole structure to a completions model. On a large capital project this routinely absorbs the better part of a year of senior engineering time.

    Until it is finished, nothing downstream can start. No checksheets, no preservation schedules, no walkdowns, no certificates.

    How it works

    From handover docs to a ready project.

    01

    Ingest handover documentation

    Load EPC handover documents, registers, and supporting files that describe the project scope.

    02

    Extract and deduplicate

    AI pulls out tags, documents, and metadata, removing duplicates that commonly appear across handover packages.

    03

    Classify and cluster

    Tags and documents are classified and grouped into systems, subsystems, disciplines, and scopes.

    04

    Structure the project model

    The clustered data is organized into Deskely's master data model, ready for template assignment.

    05

    Engineer confirmation

    Senior engineers confirm template design, assignments, and sign-off flows before field execution begins.

    Result

    A project ready to execute

    Systems, subsystems, and scopes are live in Deskely — ITRs, preservation, walkdowns, and certificates can start immediately.

    What Gets Resolved

    Thousands of small disagreements, settled before day one.

    The same tag appearing in the EPC index, a vendor package, and a contractor register under three different formats

    Leading zeros, spacing, and prefix variants that make identical tags look like separate assets

    Tags that arrive with no system or subsystem reference at all

    Competing descriptions for one tag, where a decision is needed on which source is authoritative

    Documents attached to the wrong asset, or to an asset that does not exist in the register

    The output is not a cleaned spreadsheet. It is a structured project model — systems, subsystems, disciplines, and scopes — that the rest of Deskely can immediately execute against, with anything ambiguous routed to a review queue rather than guessed at.

    Engineers Stay in Control

    AI builds the draft. Your engineers sign it off.

    Population is deliberately human-in-the-loop. The AI proposes a project structure; it does not commit one. Senior engineers confirm the system and subsystem breakdown, approve merge decisions where duplicates were collapsed, and resolve anything the model flagged as uncertain.

    Three things are never automated: template design, template assignment, and sign-off flows. Deciding which ITRs apply to which tags, and who is authorised to sign them, is an engineering judgement with contractual weight — so it stays with your team.

    Every proposal, acceptance, and override is logged against the user who made it, which is what makes the resulting dataset defensible at handover.

    Why teams use AI Population

    Project setup in weeks, not a year. Reduce the time to move from EPC handover to a structured, executable project model.

    Clean, consistent project data. Deduplication and classification reduce the data-quality issues that delay commissioning closeout.

    Human authority preserved. Template design, assignments, and sign-off are always confirmed by senior engineers before going live.

    Connects to every execution module
    Once confirmed, populated data flows into ITR, PWL, CP, Walkdowns, Punch, and Certificates.

    Designed for large capital projects
    Built to handle the volume and complexity of offshore energy and manufacturing project handovers.

    Business Outcomes

    What this changes for your project.

    Schedule

    Project setup stops being a year-long front-end activity that blocks every commissioning workstream behind it.

    Cost

    Senior engineers spend their time confirming structure and designing templates, not reconciling registers by hand.

    Quality

    Duplicates and misclassifications are resolved at setup, where they cost minutes, instead of in the field.

    Handover

    The dataset the operator receives is clean and traceable because it was built that way from the first import.
