Power Automate and Fabric Pipelines

Power Automate and Fabric Pipelines
At Buro Matei, we specialize in implementing Power Automate and Microsoft Fabric Pipelines to revolutionize data workflows for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) projects.

These tools eliminate inefficiencies caused by scattered files, siloed systems, and outdated processes, enabling teams to work cohesively, maintain accurate data, and streamline communication. With a deep understanding of EPC workflows, we design scalable solutions that align with organizational goals while setting the foundation for seamless transitions to advanced platforms like Dataverse, Power Apps, and Microsoft Fabric.

Power Automate is a tool that helps automate tasks, such as sending notifications, updating data, or getting approvals.

It works with many apps and triggers actions based on specific events. Fabric Pipelines, part of Microsoft Fabric, are used to manage the flow of data through steps like collecting, processing, and analyzing it. Both tools make it easier to handle complex data tasks with visual tools and integrations.

With Buro Matei’s expertise, your organization can implement Power Automate to enhance day-to-day productivity and adopt Fabric Pipelines to create reliable, enriched datasets at scale.

Whether it’s automating routine tasks or building end-to-end data workflows, we design systems that centralize information, reduce manual effort, and prepare your organization for the future of data-driven project execution. 

Why Buro Matei

We have decades of hands-on experience in EPC roles, giving us a deep understanding of the workflows and repetitive tasks that benefit most from automation.

Our dual expertise in EPC processes and automation tools allows us to design solutions that seamlessly integrate into existing systems while improving efficiency and scalability.

We encourage and train engineers as citizen developers, empowering them to create task-level automations using Power Automate while ensuring company-wide consistency through standardized practices.

We build Fabric Pipelines designed for company-level scalability, considering multiple projects, disciplines, and phases to ensure consistent, enriched data flows across your organization.

Our internally developed systems demonstrate the potential of Fabric Pipelines to create enriched, gold-layer data for dashboards, historical analysis, and predictive insights.

From strategy development to hands-on implementation and training, we deliver end-to-end support to make automation a core part of your operations.

Challenges We Solve

Our Power Automate and Fabric Pipelines solutions address critical challenges faced by EPC organizations:

EPC companies often struggle with disconnected systems and fragmented workflows, resulting in inefficiencies, errors, and duplication of effort.

Manual processes like data reconciliation, approvals, and updates consume valuable time and increase the risk of human error.

Data flows between tools such as SharePoint, Excel, and Dataverse are often maintained using scripts, queries, or manual efforts, which are error-prone and hard to sustain.

Resource constraints make it challenging to maintain automation and data integration systems, particularly across multiple projects and global teams.

Engineers lack access to streamlined tools for day-to-day automation, while centralized teams often face scalability issues with larger data pipelines.

Many organizations lack the infrastructure to integrate and transform large-scale data flows, which limits their ability to build predictive insights, enable AI/ML capabilities, or support decision-making with real-time information.

Results 

Our work with Power Automate and Fabric Pipelines has delivered significant outcomes for clients and within our own internal systems, showcasing practical applications and measurable benefits:

70% Rework Reduction

We developed Power Automate workflows to automatically update WBS records in real time. These workflows ensure that changes made to parent records are immediately reflected across all child records, maintaining consistency and alignment across engineering and project management systems. This automation has eliminated manual errors, streamlined record-keeping, and saved hours of effort for project teams.

3 month ahead schedule

For clients managing deliverable reviews, we implemented workflows that sync statuses dynamically across Dataverse, SharePoint, and Teams. These automations provide real-time updates, ensuring that stakeholders have access to accurate, up-to-date information. As a result, delays caused by outdated data or miscommunication have been significantly reduced.

Improve productivity

We created Power Automate workflows to extract SharePoint list data as dynamic CSV files. These workflows are triggered based on predefined criteria, allowing teams to generate and share tailored data outputs without manual exports. This solution has improved data accessibility and streamlined reporting processes for engineering and project controls teams.

Improve productivity

For equipment tags, we developed sophisticated workflows that dynamically populate property fields based on their Tag Class whenever new tags are created. These workflows use predefined CFIHOS standards to determine the specific required and optional fields, such as material properties, operational parameters, and identifiers. This automation has ensured compliance with industry standards, minimized errors, and saved significant time for engineers by automating a previously manual process.

70% Rework Reduction

We automated approval processes and notifications using Power Automate, ensuring that critical tasks, such as procurement and deliverable reviews, move forward without delays. These workflows provide automatic reminders and escalations, keeping teams aligned and improving task completion times.

3 month ahead schedule

Internally, we built and deployed Fabric Pipelines to handle large-scale data workflows. These pipelines automate the ingestion, transformation, and enrichment of data from multiple sources, including Dataverse, 3D modeling tools, and scheduling software. The resulting gold-layer datasets provide a single source of truth for Power BI dashboards, paginated reports, and advanced analytics.

Improve productivity

Our internally developed dashboards rely on enriched Fabric Pipeline data, delivering real-time insights, historical analysis, and predictive modeling. These capabilities enable data-driven decision-making across project disciplines and have been tested extensively within our own environments.

Improve productivity

While our Fabric work is internally focused, we actively collaborate with clients on Power Automate workflows. We are eager to partner with EPC organizations to implement scalable data solutions, combining automation and centralized data management to enhance operational efficiency and support growth.
