What was at stake.
The owner signed supply contracts based on the summer start. The design-builder schedule had commissioning compressed into the last month with no room for line trials. One failed trial would have cost the season.
How we controlled it.
What our schedulers and cost engineers did on this project.
Schedule review
Our health check showed missing logic and hard constraints hiding a negative float path through commissioning.
Recovery plan
We rebuilt the commissioning sequence so the first two lines started trials six weeks earlier.
Trial time protected
Line trials and quality release were given real durations and protected as a milestone the team could see.
Weekly updates
Weekly updates during start-up tracked every line against its own finish.
The result.
The old schedule looked fine because its constraints hid the problem. Remove them and the real path showed up in a day.
