CVEN3101 - Lecture notesTopic: Planning Phase ElementsDetails:●Objective: Defines how to deliver the objectives from the initiation phase.●Stakeholders: Identify key stakeholders (e.g., government, engineering consultants,environmental agencies).●Preliminary Design: Develop initial design concepts.○Example: Bridge type (e.g., cable-stayed, arch), span length, load capacity,and aesthetics.●Site Selection: Evaluate locations based on technical and environmental factors.○Example: Assess geological conditions, river flow, environmental impact.●Environmental Impact Assessment: Analyse environmental effects and mitigationstrategies.○Example: Ecosystem impact and mitigation measures.●Budgeting: Establish project budget, covering construction, land acquisition, design,permitting, and contingencies.●Public Consultation: Gather feedback and adjust designs.●Regulatory Compliance: Ensure adherence to legal regulations.●Risk Assessment: Identify potential risks and develop mitigation strategies.○Example: Risks include budget overruns, delays, environmental challenges.●Schedule Development: Set timeline for key milestones.●Design Development: Refine designs based on feedback.○Example: Bridge design refinement.●Land Acquisition: Begin acquiring land and rights-of-way.●Activities: Cost estimation, communication strategy, construction drawings,approvals, quality control, resource planning, procurement.Topic: Execution PhaseDetails:●Objective: Deliver the project as planned, with managers ensuring activities stay onbudget and time.●Example:Highway Construction○Procurement: Contracts awarded for earthwork, paving, bridge construction.○Mobilisation: Equipment, machinery, and personnel arrive on-site.○Site Preparation: Clearing vegetation, grading, setting up offices.○Earthwork & Grading: Prepare the roadbed.○Pavement Construction: Install base courses, asphalt/concrete.○Bridge Construction: Build bridges or overpasses as per plans.○Utility Relocation: Relocate utilities like water, gas, electricity.○Traffic Management: Temporary traffic control for safety.

○Quality Control & Inspection: Ensure compliance with standards.○Safety Management: Enforce protocols, regular meetings, equipmenttraining.○Environmental Compliance: Implement erosion control, habitat protection.○Progress Tracking: Monitor progress using software and site visits.○Community Relations: Communicate with stakeholders and manageexpectations.○Cost Control: Monitor spending to stay within budget.○Schedule Adherence: Ensure deadlines are met.○Change Management: Manage changes during construction.○Quality Assurance: Ensure the project meets safety, engineering, and qualitystandards.○Completion & Handover: Deliver project for public use and maintenance.Topic: Monitoring and ControllingDetails:●Overview: Monitor progress, compare with the project plan, and take correctiveactions.●Example:New Dam for Agricultural Irrigation and Flood Control○Project Manager Role: Track schedule, manage budget, oversee progress,address deviations.○Key Actions: Regular inspections, risk management, resource allocation,schedule control, change management.○Metrics: Use Earned Value Analysis (EVA) to evaluate project performance.○Communication: Regular updates to stakeholders.○Issue Resolution: Address conflicts and risks to keep the project on track.
