PROJECT MANAGEMENT CASE STUDY Sipat Super Thermal Power Project
Soil Strata Delays Boundary Management
Soil Strata
1. As we all know, before starting any project, study on soil is being done. 2. Based on soil study, the specs for excavation in civil contracts should be made accordingly. 3. The study made based on bore-logs were indicative only. However, agencies were asked to conduct their own investigations. 4. In Sipat, many agencies have not done the same. This has resulted in time loss & cost over-run.
Delays
1. Execution time is eaten away by others. 2. Incapable sub-agencies. 3. Interface co-ordination between agencies / departments 4. Avoid compartmental approach.
5. Underground works should be done first.
6. Drainage system should be done first.
Delays
7. Rationalization of quality checks, plans & procedures.
Boundary Management
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Have a good RAP (Rehabilitation Action Plan) and honestly implement it. Have good relations with Village Sarpanches and Prominent opinion builders. Involve villagers in some of the activities, give them a feeling that they are part of the team. Give small contracts to willing and suitable villagers. Start some village development works which are really required.
Learning During Execution
During Execution of Sipat we faced many difficulties
Boiler foundations were excavated individually as per Drawing. This has resulted many deep pockets. All foundations Drawings were not received in time. Drawings for Strom & Trunk drains should be finalized well in advance. Delay in making drains delay the progress of overall project
Learning During Execution
As both the stages in Sipat have started simultaneously we faced space constraint for fabrication yard. CD-Bay paving should be done before start of Critical Piping work. In Sipat St-II cabling route for LHS & RHS ID Fans & ESP are given from both sides. This has resulted delay in start of commissioning activities for RHS Auxiliaries. Learning through accidents.
