Management
• Communication can be defined as the
process which people share ideas,
experience, knowledge and feelings
through the transmission of symbolic
messages.
• Type of communication can be Verbal
communication and non-verbal
communication.
 Resource Management
• Material • Manpower (Human
• Factors to be considered : resource)
a) Quantity • Priority to be given to
b) Quality malaysians and
categorized as competent,
c) Easy to obtain skilled and unskilled.
d) Reasonable cost • All personnel and workers
e) Comply are as per Act 520, CIDB.

Why finance factor
is important in the
project?
 Project Management
• Purpose is to determine the technique to
be adopted to plan, schedule, organize,
execute, monitor and control of a project
based on scope, cost, time and quality as
required by the client/contract.
• Method of planning and scheduling
1. Gant chart
2. Critical path method (CPM)
3. Program evaluation and review technique
(PERT)
• Critical path method (CPM)
1. The critical path is the network path(s) that
has (have) the least slack in common.
2. “Early Start-Early Finish, Late Start-Late
Finish, Zero Float”.

capacity (geometry) category
Principle of traffic management at
work zones
a) Make traffic safety an integral and high
priority element of every project.
b) Avoid inhibiting traffic flow as much as
possible
c) Guide motorists in a clear and concise
way.
d) Perform routine inspection of traffic
control elements.
e) Give constant attention to roadside
safety.
 Understanding site conditions

a) Length of road.
b) Road category
c) Inventory
d) Road geometry
e) Road boundary reserve (ROW)
f) Number of junctions
g) Traffic signalized junction
h) Existing signages
i) Volume of traffic during specific periods
j) Developments within work zone site

 Purpose of traffic management at
work zone area
• To warn road users and pedestrians
• To advise road users to use correct
lanes.
• To show the lane that are not passable
to road users.
• To separate and protect road users and
pedestrians from work zone activities.

nuisance to residents and submit proposal
for enhancements based on the impact
study especially on the smooth traffic
flow and resubmit to local authority.
• Continuous communication.
• Regular meeting with key personal to
discuss performance and future needs for
improvement to CTMCP.
• Discussions with local authorities
regarding TIA and modification to CTMCP,
if necessary.

What is the
different between
TMP & TCP (ATJ 2C-
85)??
 Traffic Management Plan
(TMP)
• is a document to be prepared by the
Contractor prior to construction works.
In this document, the Contractor will
spell out his approach to the
management of the site during the
construction period. Most important
are the details of Planning and the
Method Statement for the overall
project length and duration of the
project implementation.
Traffic Control Plans (TCPs)
• Drawings showing the use of the Traffic
Control Devices (TCDs) in the layout of
the Work Zones. The TCPs shall be
drawn on scaled drawings of existing
road layout showing construction
sequences, including detours, lane
closure and U-turns.
 Construction Traffic Management
Plan (CTMP)
• CTMP is a document that includes the drawings of
overall construction traffic control and
specifications, prepared by the contractor and
approved by the local authority before work can
commence at the work zone
• Contractor will describe the methodology and
steps in carrying out the works in the document
at the construction stage. Method of Statement
(MOS) is an important topic throughout the whole
duration of implementation
• CTMP includes few criterias such as site plan,
survey plan, data obtained from site visits, phases
in construction, CTMCP as per phases,
construction stage /activity , traffic impact and
CTMCP work requirements
Preparation of
CTMCP
 Preparation of CTMCP
• Refer to overall work program as well as CTMP and gathering of data at
site – Complete information from the construction project manager/site
engineer regarding the overall project works program is vital and need to
be integrated with the CTMCP
• Specify time period – the work zone are categorized according to the
speed profile and duration of construction as shown in table 4.2 and
table 4.3 of ATJ 85 2017
• Specify the area and road capacity – the type of construction will
determine the degree to which the roadway will be occupied and closed
to normal traffic
• Identify road zone category – this serves to identify the possible work
area such as lane narrowing, lane closure etc
• Analyze suitability and cost effect as well as environment and safety – to
conduct impact assessment related to safety, traffic flow and cost to
evaluate in detail extent of each impact due to the construction
activities.
• Select suitable CTMP based on JKR ATJ 2017 – after all critical impacts
are analysed, the most effective strategy will be often has less impact on
all overall measures
• To review for reduction – mitigation measures will be necessary for the
preferred TMP to minimize impact caused by the construction works
• Proposal paper for CTMCP
