Abstract:
Purpose Risk management has become an integral part in businesses around the world. In the construction industry, risk management has also been introduced and has been mainly entrusted in the hands of the project team to go through a laid down risk management processes to identify possible risk events, which may occur during the project execution and the impact they may have on the project deliverables should they occur. It is, however, believed that small construction firms do not take risk management as a serious exercise even though most of the project risks are transferred to them as subcontractors. The purpose of this study was, therefore, to investigate risk management processes in the small construction companies and the impact of risk management on their project deliverables. Design/methodology/approach A case study of a single construction company was used for this study. Data were collected through structured questionnaire to 16 respondents who are involved in the project execution in the case study company. Two managing directors of the case study company were also interviewed. In total, 11 project site meetings were also attended to observe meeting proceedings and to record issues discussed. In total, 15 monthly project reports and project close-out reports were also studied. In total, One hundred and five completed projects of which 58 per cent were renovation projects, 27 per cent were new projects and 15 per cent were civil/structural works were also examined. The data were then analysed using excel analytical tool and the content analysis method. Findings The findings indicate that small construction companies with respect to the case study company do not have a specific laid down risk management processes that project team are made to go through before and during the execution of their projects. There is, however, no conclusive evidence regarding the impact of risk management on project performance as a significant number of projects done were able to meet a successful project performance indicators even though risk management exercises were not done. Some of the identified risk events that caused project failures are payment delays, labour related issues, subcontractor/main contractor related issues, insufficient contingency reserves/plan, etc. Research limitations/implications Only one construction company was used as a case study for this research and all sources of data were related to a single company. The results may, therefore, be not generalisable. Practical implications The research has discovered that projects outcome could have improved tremendously if proper risk management exercises were implemented before project execution as most of the causes of project failures could have been identified through the risk management processes. This study, hence, gives an insight as to why small construction firms like the case study company should take risk management seriously in their projects execution to improve on the performance of their projects. Originality/value The research has discovered that projects outcome could have improved tremendously if proper risk management exercises were implemented before project execution as most of the causes of project failures could have been identified through the risk management processes. This study, hence, gives an insight as to why small construction firms like the case study company should take risk management seriously in their projects execution to improve on the performance of their projects.

Abstract:
The major requirement of every construction project is meeting client’s need of cost, quality and time. However, the construction industry is overwhelmed with risks more than any other industry due to the fact that they are present in every activity from design to completion. These risks need to be controlled early or face the possibility of cost overruns, time delays and poor quality work leading to displeasure of client and public. Although risk management in construction projects is a very important issue in terms of the firms operating in the construction sector, it has not yet gained clarity and prevalence in our country. Within the scope of this research, the aim of this research is to introduce the risk management system as a concept and to classify the risk in construction projects and to demonstrate the risk management techniques. Risk management system is a cyclic process. In the monitoring and control phase of applied risk responding strategies, some of the risks will be eliminated or reduced, some of unforeseen risks will appear and analysis steps will be realized again. At the end of the project, determination of to what degree project aims and targets have been reached and documentation of risk management system after evaluation regarding to the project will enable the company to use project risk management system more effectively and usefully in the projects undertaken later. Due to construction activities, processes, environment and organization’s structures, construction industry and the clients are broadly in relation with high risk degrees. Therefore, it is highly important for our country’s firms in construction industry to give necessary significance to project risk management idea and system and to consider them as a basic function of the projects for permanence of their enterprise existence.

Abstract:
Purpose The construction industry needs effective methods for gathering and utilizing performance information on industry, company and individual project levels. Such benchmarking (BM) information can be collected from project participants’ bi-directional evaluations of each other’s performance during construction projects. The purpose of this paper is to present the method and discuss the features of a multi-company project evaluation system as a BM tool. Also the accumulated results, based on the extensive BM database in the Finnish construction industry, are investigated. Design/methodology/approach The web-based project evaluation tool was established in 2007 as a joint research project between the Helsinki University of Technology, construction organizations and main associations widely representing the construction industry in Finland. The evaluation method is based on soft, subjective measures, such as client satisfaction and project participants’ satisfaction. The empirical observations of the study are based on over 5,500 evaluations during which the BM system was used in the Finnish construction industry. Findings The use of the evaluation is presented as a multi-level BM tool to evaluate the performance of different discipline groups on project, company and industry levels. The Finnish case shows an example of the industry-level performance BMs of project consultants, main contractors, sub-contractors and architects/designers. The BM categories include project management, staff, collaboration and project goal accomplishment. According to the results, the participants are satisfied with each other’s performance. However, main development targets in the Finnish industry are related to risk management and managing design. Also, the development of sub-contractors’ selection procedures will contribute to the performance of the industry. Research limitations/implications The industry-level feedback is linked to the Finnish construction industry. Similar studies in other countries would enable international comparisons. Practical implications Client satisfaction and project participants’ satisfaction have been identified as one of the key factors affecting project success. With the help of mutual project evaluation, different BMs enable organizations to monitor their performance and to improve their operations in various areas. They also make it possible to position an organization’s performance in comparison to the competitors and help to perceive black spots in the process on project level. As a common system for the parties in the industry, the project evaluation BM system promotes quality improvement, customer orientation and collaboration between participants. Social implications Project evaluation between the project participants’ enhance collaboration and mutual learning. Originality/value Multi-company project evaluation is a new and promising topic in performance measurement which holds potential for performance improvement through the utilization of network information and team dynamics. The study presents its wider utility as the basis of national, company and project BM.

Abstract:
Companies have a need to internationalize and locate all over the world to gain advantages against competition. However, when companies internationalize, they face difficulties. One of the major difficulties is how they can reach the same high quality around the world in their business facilities. Over one third of all construction projects reporting major defects. The purpose of this thesis is to research how companies implement Quality Management in offshore construction projects, what are the common challenges related to the subject and how to overcome these challenges. The theoretical framework for the study is gathered from academic literature. The thesis uses a qualitative research approach. The primary data is gathered through interviews and observations that are conducted on an offshore construction site. The case study in this thesis researches how a multinational company handles Quality Management in an offshore construction project.  The company’s Quality Management guidelines and practices have been established in Europe, whereas the location and context of this study is in Southeast-Asia. The difference in business context and cultures causes additional challenges in implementing Quality Management in the project. After analyzing the data, the company’s Quality Management practices are compared to suggested practices in the academic literature. These suggestions can be valid for other multinational companies that are expanding to different continents. The results show that when companies do offshoring decisions, relationship quality with contractors and partnership credibility should be central attributes, even if it means doing business with higher priced companies. Many companies do not focus enough on the quality aspect in the contractor tendering phase. Instead they tend to base decisions solely on cost and speed even though bad quality work results in increased costs and delays in construction projects.

Abstract:
Risk can be described as the absence of information when a decision is to be made at any time throughout a process. The construction industry is often considered as complex and defragmented due to working in a project based format; with a unique product and a process where there are times when decisions need to be made with insufficient information. Therefore, proper risk management processes can be vital to minimizing risks, maximizing opportunities and securing a successful project process. This master thesis has been conducted at a large Swedish construction company that houses both a constructing unit and a residential development unit. Consequently, the focus of this thesis has been on analyzing the risk management process when a residential project is both developed and constructed by the same company. The purpose of this master thesis is to describe and analyze risk management in a project based organization within the construction industry. The thesis aims to provide a better understanding of how risk management is used in practice but also what underlying factors that can affect risk management processes. The study will include both the perspective of the developer and the constructor; as well as their separate and joint processes facilitating risk management. In regards to the purpose of this thesis, a general risk management model has been used to provide a framework for analysis. This model consists of four steps: risk identification, risk assessment, risk mitigation and risk monitoring. The results from this study indicate that risk management within residential construction heavily depends on the personal knowledge and experience of project members. In turn, this creates discrepancies between how risk management is described in internal documents and how it is utilized in practice. Furthermore, it was found that risk management is considered an important part of the overall project process. However, opinions varied to what extent risk management was actually applied in projects. A reason for this could be that there is no joint understanding within the company of what processes are considered as part of risk management – thus, project members sometimes practice risk management without being aware of it.
Risk kan definieras som avsaknaden av information när ett beslut måste tas, vid något tillfälle, under en pågående process. Byggindustrin anses ofta vara en komplex och splittrad bransch då man arbetar i projektformat och med en komplicerad slutprodukt, vilket skapar otaliga tillfällen när beslut måste fattas med otillräcklig information. Därför är en väl fungerande riskhanteringsprocess viktig för att minimera risker, maximera möjligheter och säkerställa lyckade projekt. Detta examensarbete har genomförts på ett av de större svenska byggbolagen som har både bostadsutveckling och entreprenad inom den egna verksamheten. Därmed kommer detta examensarbete att fokusera på riskhanteringsprocessen inom bostadsbyggande då ett och samma företag agerar som både beställare och byggare. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att beskriva och analysera riskhanteringsprocessen inom ett projektbaserat företag i byggbranschen. Uppsatsen har som mål att skapa en bättre förståelse för hur riskhantering används i praktiken, samt för de underliggande faktorer som påverkar riskhantering. Studien kommer att inkludera både beställarens och byggarens perspektiv, samt deras respektive, och gemensamma, processer i relation till riskhantering. Med hänseende till studiens syfte har en generell modell för riskhantering använts för att ge ett ramverk till analysen. Denna modell består av fyra steg: riskidentifiering, riskvärdering, riskhantering och riskuppföljning. Studien visar på att riskhantering inom bostadsbyggande till stor del grundar sig på projektmedlemmarnas personliga kunskap och erfarenhet. Detta leder till att det finns skillnader mellan den avsedda processen för riskhantering och hur riskhanteringsarbetet faktiskt genomförs. Vidare fann studien att riskhantering ansågs vara en viktig del av projektprocessen i sin helhet. Trots detta varierade åsikter kring hur riskhantering faktiskt genomfördes i projekt. En anledning till detta kan vara att det inte finns någon gemensam syn på vilka processer som faktiskt ingår i riskhanteringsarbetet – detta innebär i sin tur att projektmedlemmar ibland bedriver riskhantering utan att vara medvetna om det.

Abstract:
The chosen research area is the communication in complex hospital construction projects. The purpose of this study is to investigate and map out the existing communication and cooperation between the project management organisation towards the steering committee and the hospital organisation. The research objective consists also of investigating how the project members manages the challenges and difficulties with communication and what improvements they think is needed for increasing the efficiency within the different organisations, within the project.   The results create an understanding and an awareness of the challenges, which will hopefully be beneficial for a more efficient project management. This was possible by investigating two actual projectorganisations in Sweden, one in Gävleborg (Gävle and Hudiksvall) and another one in Stockholm.  Extensive literature review and various scientific reports were investigated. An overview over the research area was achieved, with focus on existing problems and possible solutions. The communication in the project process was analysed by having semi- structured interviews. One of the objectives with the interviews is to expose the strengths and weaknesses in the project management, but also the external opportunities and threats towards the organisation. It can further be described as an analysis for representing how the project members use their competence and experience to handle the challenges and difficulties, how the optimal solutions could be according to the project members and also how the organizational structure should be conducted for a better communication in the project process. The findings from the interviews compared with the theoretical framework indicates some parameters for achieving an ideal information transfer and communication. There needs to be defined structures and techniques for information transfer. The effectiveness of information transfer increases, when the roles of different project members, groups and organisation structures are clearly defined, in a formal structured way. The culture in the organisation impacts and shapes the communication methods within the organisation. The work environment, values, language, routines, structure and experience in the organisation shapes and creates the foundation for the organisational culture, which leads to how the communication will take form. The attitudes and behaviours of the participants in the project are another impact on the communication structure. The organisation should secure in a personal level openness and commitments for the sake of fulfilling the common objectives and vision of the project.  The main challenges that were common in the projects in Gävle and Hudiksvall have been the lack of commitment from the steering committee, which is the county councils. The lack of participation and experience from both the steering committee and the hospital organisation made it challenging for the project management organisation to manage the projects. This means also that the hospital organisation has not been organized and there are not any representatives from the hospital in the projects. The project members are in these cases making qualified assumptions regarding the requirements that are needed in the hospital organisation. The main thought of effective communication is to be aware of all the changes in the project.  If the participating project members are updated with the latest information, then there are less risks for surprises. The project management organisation and the hospital organisation needs mutually to support each other with guidance through the needs and requirements that they have. This could be possible if they organisation could have continuously face-to-face meetings but also by keeping a good dialogue with each other. The representatives for the hospital organisation should also be prepared for the project from the initialisation phase.
Det valda undersöknings området är kommunikationen i komplexa sjukhus byggprojekt. Syftet med studien är att undersöka och kartlägga den existerande kommunikationen och samarbetet mellan projektledningsorganisationen gentemot styrgruppen och sjukhusverksamheten. Målet med undersökningen består av att undersöka hur projektmedlemmarna handskas med utmaningarna och svårigheterna med kommunikationen och vilka förbättringar som de anser behövs för att öka effektiviteten i de olika organisationerna. Resultatet skapar en förståelse och en medvetenhet om svårigheterna, vilket förhoppningsvis blir mer fördelaktigt för en effektivare projektledning. Undersökningen var möjlig att genomföra genom att två aktuella projektorganisationer undersöktes i Sverige, en i Gävleborg (Gävle och Hudiksvall) och en annan i Stockholm.  En omfattande litteraturstudie genomfördes och varierande forskningsartiklar undersöktes. En översikt över undersökningsområdet var uppnådd, med fokus på existerande problem och möjliga lösningar. Kommunikationen i projekten var analyserad genom att ha semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Ett av målen med intervjuerna var att upplysa styrkorna och svagheterna i projektledningen, men även de externa möjligheterna och farorna gentemot organisationen. Det kan vidare beskrivas som en analys som uttrycker hur projektmedlemmarna använder sin kompetens och erfarenhet för att handskas med utmaningarna och svårigheterna, hur de optimala lösningarna kan vara enligt projektmedlemmarna och även hur den organisatoriska strukturen borde genomföras för bättre kommunikation i projekt processen. Resultatet från intervjuerna jämfört med det teoretiska ramverket resulterar i vissa parametrar för att uppnå en ideal informationsöverföring och kommunikation. Det behöver finnas definierade strukturer och tekniker för informationsöverföring. Effektiviteten med informationsöverföring ökar när rollerna av de olika projektmedlemmarna, grupperna och organisationerna är tydligt definierade, i ett formellt strukturerat sätt. Organisationskulturen påverkar och formar kommunikationsmetoderna inom organisationen. Arbetsmiljön, värderingar, språk, rutiner, struktur och erfarenheter i organisationen formar och skapar grunden för den organisatoriska kulturen, vilket leder till hur kommunikationen formas. Attityd och beteenden från deltagare i projekten är ytterligare en påverkan på kommunikationsstrukturen. Organisationen borde säkra öppenhet och engagemang på individnivå för att kunna uppfylla de gemensamma målen och visionen för projektet. De huvudsakliga svårigheterna som var gemensamma för projekten i Gävle och Hudiksvall, har varit bristen på engagemang från styrgruppen, alltså landstingen. Bristen på deltagande och erfarenhet från både styrgruppen och sjukhusverksamheten har försvårat projektledningen för projektlednings organisationen. Det betyder också att sjukhusverksamheten inte har varit organiserade och att det inte har funnits representanter från sjukhusverksamheten. Projektmedlemmarna har i dessa situationer gjort kvalificerade gissningar angående de behov som sjukhusverksamheten har. Det huvudsakliga med effektiv kommunikation är att vara medveten om alla förändringar i projektet. Om de deltagande projektmedlemmarna är uppdaterade med den senaste informationen, blir det mindre risker för några överraskningar. Projektledningsorganisationen och sjukhusverksamheten behöver gemensamt stötta varandra genom vägledning av de behov och krav som de har. Detta kan vara möjligt om man har kontinuerliga face-to-face möten men även att hålla en god dialog med varandra. Representanterna för sjukhusverksamheten borde vara förberedda för projektet från initialiseringsfasen.

Abstract:
The performance assessment done by objective measures have now been replaced with subjective measures. Within the context of this research
interdependencies between a construction company&rsquo
s &ldquo
resources and capabilities&rdquo
, &ldquo
project management capabilities&rdquo
, &ldquo
strategic decisions&rdquo
, &ldquo
strength of relationships with other parties&rdquo
and &ldquo
external factors&rdquo
with &ldquo
project performance&rdquo
and &ldquo
company performance&rdquo
were investigated from a resource based perspective which put forward intangible assets of the company. To achieve the objectives, a questionnaire survey was administered to 73 Turkish contractors and the data obtained from 354 projects that were held during the last five years were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). It was hypothesized in this study that construction company performance is influenced by the resources and capabilities within the company, the long-term and short-term strategies adopted by the company, the strength of the relationships of the company with other parties involved in construction projects, external factors and project management competencies. A structural equation model was set up to measure the seven latent variables through their constituent variables and to see if the hypothesized relationships exist. Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that, this research has introduced a method to measure performance both in subjective (qualitative) and the objective (quantitative) terms. The strong path coefficients between the constructs of the model are an indication that, after decades in pursuit of finding ways to improve the performance of construction companies, subjective dimensions of performance have proven to be as effective as the traditional objective dimensions.

Abstract:
The engineering consulting industry in South Africa witnessed an overwhelming growth before the 2010 Fifa World Cup. The country had a lot of infrastructural development that needed the services of consulting engineers. A lot of people saw the challenge as a business opportunity and started their own consulting engineering companies. The demand for consulting engineering services was high before the 2010 Fifa World Cup; this changed after the completion of projects that were due for the world cup and some had to close or retrench staff due to scarcity of projects. The completion of 2010 Fifa World Cup projects is not the only challenge faced by the engineering consulting sector; government policies such tendering and procurement procedures that do not acknowledge performance, lack of funding etc. It is therefore important that companies look for better ways of gaining competitiveness in order to get more projects. These companies must not only rely on government projects but do marketing on the private sector as well. The purpose of the research is to assess and develop a marketing strategy for Company X Consulting engineers. A literature study on most successful marketing strategies employed by other service oriented companies was conducted. The literature study also comprised of the perception of marketing amongst consulting engineering companies. From the literature study mentioned above; questionnaires were drawn towards the development of a marketing strategy for Company X consulting engineers. The findings of the questionnaires were analysed and recommendation were made for the development of a marketing strategy for Company X.

Abstract:
In today's worldwide competitive environment, contracting companies are competing in terms of product quality, delivery, reliability and customer satisfaction. In current literature, models of performance measures for contracting companies and construction projects have limitations and shortcomings. They depend mainly on financial measures. These are no longer sufficient to ensure survival and continued profitability in time of change. New measures of performance at the different levels of contracting companies are, therefore, needed. The relatively new performance measurement technique of benchmarking has been widely applied as a powerful performance management concept. However, current published literature does not provide satisfactory proof of its successful implementation in contracting companies. This research addresses these two major weaknesses. Firstly, a methodology using Nominal Group Technique and Delphi Technique was explained and applied to obtain consensus performance measures for construction projects. New performance measures appropriate to construction projects, together with each element's relative importance, were developed. The consensus covers project managers, senior managers and top management. Secondly, quality measures appropriate to construction projects, together with each measure's relative importance, were developed. Thirdly, new performance measures appropriate to contracting organizations were developed. The development of these measures and the determination of their relative importance depend upon: the strategic direction of the organization which reflects the current business and market conditions; the type of construction work; the organization structure; and the development of the management staff within the organization. Fourthly, the implementation of the new performance measures using benchmarking as a management tool for performance measurement and improvement was carried out in one of the largest contracting organizations in the Middle East, the Arab Contractors, Osman A. Osman & Co. The implementation was carried out over a period of five years. Sixteen company branches implemented the measurement system. Each branch was considered as an independent contracting company. The results showed that the use of the new performance measures and the implementation of benchmarking in the company were very effective and led to successful and improved performance.

Abstract:
The diploma thesis deals with the project of repairing of the motorway section and designes the most suitable construction variant. The aim of this work is to select the most suitable variant of repair of the highway section. Consequently to propose a method for reducing possible risks. The diploma thesis contains three variants of construction of the motorway, the shortest variant 3 was selected from all. The option 3 has the lowest cost and uses resources of associated companies most effectively. For this variant was necessary to reduce the potential risks - the risk connected with the completion before the winter technological break. The method of compression and acceleration was used to eliminate the risk. The selection was made on the basis of an economic evaluation of the construction company, especially the financial situation. According to financial indicators was found that the company is in a suitable financial situation for the project to repair the highway section.

Full text
Abstract:
Since 2007, the pipeline industry has experienced a large increase in pipeline construction. Construction inspections performed by the Department of Transportation (DOT) Pipeline Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) have revealed numerous quality issues. These inspections, coupled with several pre-commissioning pressure test failures, first year in-service failures, and other material and construction problems, brought construction quality to the attention of the oil and gas pipeline industry. A proven method for improving quality in other industries is through the implementation of a quality management system (QMS). One widely accepted QMS used across industries is ISO 9001. Additionally, several QMS standards specific to the oil and gas industry have been developed. Due to the uniqueness of pipeline construction projects, PHMSA solicited proposals in 2013 for a research and development project titled, “Improving Quality Management Systems for Pipeline Construction Activities” which was awarded to and co-funded by DNV GL. This paper describes the QMS framework for pipeline construction activities and an accompanying guidance document developed by DNV GL. The framework and guidance document are intended to assist pipeline operating companies and contractors in the development and implementation of a company-specific QMS, with a goal of elevating the focus on quality to the level of safety. The framework adopts a risk-based, process approach, as defined in other QMS and management system documents, and follows the plan-do-act-check methodology. The QMS framework is designed to be scalable for a wide range of pipeline construction projects, including liquid and gas transmission pipelines and gas distribution lines. The framework includes the general management system components, as well as specific sections on implementation of a QMS for a pipeline construction project. The QMS framework and guidance document developed are intended to be used either as a stand-alone management system or as the quality component in a company’s corporate management system.

Abstract:
The Chugoku Electric Power Co., Inc has been constructing Shimane nuclear power station unit No.3 as our top priority, which is the fifth ABWR (Advanced Boiling Water Reactor) and one of the largest nuclear power plants (Electrical output: 1,373 MWe) in Japan. This will enable us to attain “3Es”: (Environment, Energy Security, Economy) simultaneously. After issue of the first construction license, the excavation of main buildings started in 2006, and we have been progressing smoothly toward its commercial operation in December 2011. In this project, we coordinate all subcontractors in civil, building and mechanical fields and manage among each company in order to control construction work progress. “Modularization” is applied for the construction as one of the latest construction technologies. Plant components such as equipment, piping and structures are modularized in a shop or fabrication areas in a construction site and are installed by a large crawler crane at the site. This method contributes to improve construction safety and quality of work, as well as to shorten the construction schedule.

Abstract:
Being in control of requirements in building projects is vital, since it helps securing the often small profit margins and the reputation of the responsible company. Hence this research aims to introduce requirements management to the construction industry. By means of case study and action research conducted at a Danish construction syndicate producing sandwich elements made from High Performance Concrete and insulation materials it is demonstrated that requirements management successfully can be used in construction. Since requirements management as of today has not found its use in this industry, yet, success is here defined as an accomplished and accepted implementation of requirements management processes that are used by the relevant project members in their daily work and where the benefits of implementing requirements management outweighs the cost of invested resources. Furthermore it is argued that when running technology development, product development, product platform development, and a portfolio of building projects at the same time the use of requirements management is advantageous and an intelligent way of structuring requirements is needed. This article also demonstrates that the application of requirements management with gain can be extended to cover entire life cycles as e.g. the life cycle of a building. This is done by proposing a requirements structure that attempts to consider future events. The proposed structure is divided into the areas: company, technology, product platform, and building and covers all encountered types of requirements, e.g. functional (defines what a system is supposed to do), non-functional (defines how a system is supposed to be), technical, organizational, and even personal requirements. As a result the conducted research clearly shows that requirements management can be applied to the construction industry. At the same time it also becomes obvious that it is necessary to open doors to further research looking into not only using requirements databases & processes especially designed for the construction industry but also the training of key personnel in requirements management, and how the introduction of requirements management can impact the construction industry and their customers in the long run.

Abstract:
Accidents related to production, processing, storage and transportation of oil and its by-products have been studied extensively because of their social and environmental impacts. However, accidents relating to construction of oil facilities have been largely ignored by researches, perhaps because such accidents involve a smaller group of people and result in smaller-scale environmental impacts. Pipeline construction projects are particularly unique. As opposed to construction of processing plants, pipeline construction covers a very long reach, often involving varying site conditions. Consequently, there are more environmental issues, many of which vary from place to place along the pipeline route as a result of the differing soil, drainage, vegetation and exposure conditions. The variable conditions, exposure and consequences of accidents along a pipeline route result in many challenges related to risk management. Specifically, risk management is difficult as a result of transportation along the pipeline corridor, multiple access routes to the pipeline corridor, unique culture and social issues in various parts of the country, and remote working conditions. Major issues are moving work sites; crossing of different areas of the country with several typical cultural and regional aspects; multiple work sites and the isolation of workers in small groups. These factors make risk management particularly important, but easy to ignore. In this paper we discuss the major potential risks in every phase of the pipeline construction. The paper describes the company’s process for managing risk during pipeline construction. It identified the limitations of traditional safety management systems in coping with the critical problems related to environmental and safety issues. Many company are using integrated management systems as the major tools to control risk. Such systems cover health, safety and environmental issues (HSE). PETROBARS, as the largest Brazilian oil company and one of the leading oil companies in the world, has adopted the HSE system. The system focuses on employee participation in implementation of the HSE system.

Abstract:
The advent of smartphones and the emergence of instant messaging software have changed the ecology of the telecommunications industry, which has also led to a decrease in the profits of telecommunications companies year by year. In the face of the new generation of consumer groups with changing needs, Telecommunications operators have continued to improve their core capabilities. How to accurately grasp the needs of customers and respond quickly is one of the key capabilities for companies to create new opportunities. This paper discusses the operation of the three project management modes based on the improvement of the network service. It summarizes the way the project is carried out and its benefits analysis through the field research od and then uses the empathy analysis tool to make the project colleagues think in perspective and deeply understand the customer's pain points can also modify the function of the product (service) from customer feedback. The study found that if the hybrid project management model can be used well, in addition to speeding up the solution of customers’ network usage problems, it can also reduce unnecessary high network construction costs, which is a way of generating high value for both the company and customers project management model.

The US Army Corps of Engineers, Galveston District, is executing the Sabine Pass to Galveston Bay Coastal Storm Risk Management (CSRM) project for Brazoria, Jefferson, and Orange Counties regions. The project is currently in the Pre-construction, Engineering, and Design phase. This report documents coastal storm water level (SWL) and wave hazards for the Freeport CSRM structures. Coastal SWL and wave loading and overtopping are quantified using high-fidelity hydrodynamic modeling and stochastic simulations. The CSTORM coupled water level and wave modeling system simulated 195 synthetic tropical storms on three relative sea level change scenarios for with- and without-project meshes. Annual exceedance probability (AEP) mean values were reported for the range of 0.2 to 0.001 for peak SWL and wave height (Hm0) along with associated confidence limits. Wave period and mean wave direction associated with Hm0 were also computed. A response-based stochastic simulation approach is applied to compute AEP values for overtopping for levees and overtopping, nappe geometry and combined hydrostatic and hydrodynamic fluid pressures for floodwalls. CSRM crest design elevations are defined based on overtopping rates corresponding to incipient damage. Survivability and resilience are evaluated. A system-wide hazard level assessment was conducted to establish final recommended system-wide elevations.

Evaluation of Electrochemical Treatment for Removal of Arsenic and Manganese from Field Soil. Illinois Center for Transportation, June 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.36501/0197-9191/21-019.

Full text
Abstract:
Soils containing inorganic compounds are frequently encountered by transportation agencies during construction within the right-of-way, and they pose a threat to human health and the environment. As a result, construction activities may experience project delays and increased costs associated with management of inorganic compounds containing soils required to meet environmental regulations. Recalcitrance of metal-contaminated soils toward conventional treatment technologies is exacerbated in clay or organic content-rich fine-grained soils with low permeability and high sorption capacity because of increased treatment complexity, cost, and duration. The objective of this study was to develop an accelerated in situ electrochemical treatment approach to extract inorganic compounds from fine-grained soils, with the treatment time comparable to excavation and off-site disposal. Three reactor experiments were conducted on samples collected from two borehole locations from a field site in Illinois that contained arsenic (As)(~7.4 mg/kg) and manganese (Mn)(~700 mg/kg). A combination of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and/or citrate buffer solution was used to treat the soils. A low-intensity electrical field was applied to soil samples using a bench-scale reactor that resembles field-scale in situ electrochemical systems. For the treatment using 10% H2O2 and citrate buffer solution, average removal of 23% and 8% were achieved for Mn and As, respectively. With 4% H2O2 and citrate buffer, 39% and 24% removal were achieved for Mn and As; while using only citrate buffer as the electrolyte, 49% and 9% removal were achieved for Mn and As, respectively. All chemical regimes adopted in this study reduced the inorganic compound concentrations to below the maximum allowable concentration for Illinois as specified by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. The results from this work indicate that electrochemical systems that leverage low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and citrate buffer can be effective for remediating soils containing manganese and arsenic.

Abstract:
This special report discusses the outcomes of a September 2019 workshop intended to identify barriers to the consideration and implementation of natural and nature-based features (NNBF) in US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) civil works projects. A total of 23 participants representing seven USACE districts, the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), and the University of California–Santa Cruz met at USACE’s South Atlantic Division Headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, to discuss how to facilitate the implementation of NNBF into USACE project planning for wetlands and reefs using six categories: (1) site characterization, (2) engineering and design analysis, (3) life-cycle analysis, (4) economic analysis, (5) construction analysis, (6) and operation and maintenance (and monitoring). The workshop identified seven future directions in wetland and reef NNBF research and development: • Synthesize existing literature and analysis of existing projects to better define failure modes. • Determine trigger points that lead to loss of feature function. • Identify performance factors with respect to coastal storm risk management (CSRM) performance as well as ecological performance. • Focus additional research into cobenefits of NNBF. • Quantify the economic life-cycle costs of a project. • Improve technology transfer with regards to NNBF research and topics.
