The PMO provides end-to-end project leadership to ensure that every water infrastructure initiative—from groundwater extraction systems to wastewater treatment plants—progresses according to scope, schedule, and cost. Our approach integrates international standards such as PMI’s PMBOK with Mexico’s regulatory frameworks (CONAGUA, SEMARNAT, ASEA), guaranteeing that every project phase aligns with both engineering best practices and water governance requirements. Through dedicated project managers, the PMO acts as the central coordination hub between designers, contractors, regulators, and stakeholders, maintaining transparency and control from planning through operation.

The PMO ensures that key performance indicators (KPIs) related to time, cost, and quality are continuously monitored and corrected in real-time. In water projects—where cost deviations often stem from unforeseen hydrogeological conditions or regulatory delays—our controlling systems integrate earned value management (EVM), variance analysis, and predictive forecasting to maintain stability and accountability. We deliver clear reports and dashboards to decision-makers, enabling strategic adjustments before risks escalate.

The PMO develops, tracks, and optimizes complex schedules covering permitting, procurement, construction, and commissioning. Given the regulatory and seasonal constraints typical of hydraulic projects in Mexico (rainfall periods, water rights approvals, or CONAGUA inspections), we design adaptive schedules that integrate environmental windows and compliance milestones. Our planning tools—based on Primavera P6 and MS Project—allow scenario simulations and recovery planning to mitigate any deviation from the baseline program.

We establish and maintain detailed cost structures for water infrastructure investments, aligning CAPEX and OPEX within realistic financial frameworks. From river basin projects to potable water distribution systems, the PMO applies cost breakdown structures (CBS) tailored to hydraulic works, integrating equipment procurement, energy consumption, and water quality monitoring costs. Financial visibility supports transparent decision-making and helps institutions optimize their investment return over the lifecycle of the asset.

Water projects in Mexico face diverse risks—climatic, regulatory, social, and technical. The PMO identifies, assesses, and mitigates these risks systematically through a Water Risk Register, evaluating probabilities and impacts on cost, schedule, and compliance. Our preventive strategies address challenges such as drought periods, groundwater contamination, community resistance, and technology underperformance, ensuring resilience and continuity of operations.

The PMO oversees the systematic testing, calibration, and validation of hydraulic systems prior to operation. This includes verifying mechanical, electrical, and control systems in treatment plants, pumping stations, desalination units, and reservoirs. We coordinate between contractors, suppliers, and operators to ensure that the infrastructure performs according to design capacity and meets regulatory standards for water quality and environmental protection.

The PMO ensures transparent, efficient, and compliant contract execution across all participating entities—designers, constructors, suppliers, and operators. We structure and monitor contracts under both public and private frameworks (Licitaciones Públicas, PPPs, EPC/EPCM), mitigating disputes and ensuring adherence to performance clauses, environmental obligations, and payment milestones. This function promotes trust and accountability throughout the project’s delivery chain.

Water projects inevitably interact with multiple actors—federal, municipal, and community-level. The PMO manages stakeholder communication, public consultations, and alignment with authorities such as CONAGUA, SEMARNAT, and local water utilities (OOAPAS). Environmental compliance monitoring is integrated from design to operation, ensuring adherence to impact mitigation measures, water discharge permits, and sustainability objectives.

The PMO establishes and enforces QA/QC frameworks specific to water infrastructure, including material testing, process validation, and record management. All documentation—engineering drawings, laboratory tests, and compliance reports—is centralized in a digital control system, ensuring traceability and audit readiness.
