What was at stake.
Wharf construction, dredging, yard paving and crane delivery all had to finish in order. The cranes arrived by ship on a fixed date. If the wharf was not ready, the cranes could not be unloaded.
How we controlled it.
What our schedulers and cost engineers did on this project.
Crane arrival as anchor
The crane ship arrival became the anchor milestone, with wharf completion and testing scheduled in front of it.
Marine work modeled
Dredging and pile driving carried tide and weather windows in the schedule.
Earned value
Quantity-based earned value on piles, deck and paving gave the port an honest progress picture.
Claims avoided
Delay events were recorded as they happened, so disputes were settled with facts before they grew.
The result.
A crane ship does not wait for a wharf. We planned the whole terminal around the day it came in.
