Construction Project Management Report For New Port And Harbour

Alignment of Construction Project Management with System Development Models

The construction project management had been largely helpful for developing the successive and integration management (Heldman 2015). The alignment of the functions had been helpful for developing the modification of the operations. The construction projects have been using the implication of system development models for the aligning the activities of the construction project. The analysis of the integration development had been helpful for forming the modification of the effective development model (Nicholas and Steyn 2017). The project development would help in forming the successful alignment of the activities for achievement of the operations.

The following assignment is made for developing a project management report that would be helpful for the project of Construction of new port and harbour. The construction of the port and harbor would help in easing the water communication and transportation. The report would provide an overview of the project scenario to highlight the factors of implementing the project for the development of the operations. The report would involve the deployment of the pre-tender programme that would show the project schedule estimation for the project.

The construction of the new ports and harbor is employed for increasing the probability of the operations and development of the successive deployment methods. The project would comprise of the development model for the alignment of the improvement methods. The project would align with the modification of the activities and deployment of the successive formation of the facilities. The construction of the new ports and harbor would help in forming the management of the information related to the project integration management. The project of construction of harbor and ports would help in developing the transportation system over the water surface. The increment of jet services would help in forming the modification of the means of conveyance and the deployment of the activities. The water conveyance requires the construction of the port, water level reclamation, dredging operations, modifying the existing shoreline. The project had maximum timeline for 18 months and the project should be completed in the estimated timeline. The integration of the operations had implied for the management of the project facilities and deployment of the successive management plan. The analysis had helped in listing the modification required for the development of the project development activities.  

The project is a major construction project and it has to face a number of potential issues during the course of construction project activities (Alias et al. 2014). The alignment of the construction activities would help in developing the modification of the ports and harbor system development. The implication of the operations had been successful for the alignment of the improved project development. The various issues of the project are lack of experts, issues in technology adoption, environmental sustainability, and complexity of the project. The explanation of the issues are given below,

Overview of the Project Scenario

Lack of Experts: The major issues of the project of Construction of new port and harbour include the shortage of resources such as skilled workers. The shortage of skilled workers would tend to result in causing the major problems in developing the final project (Sallis 2014). The shortage of the resources had tended to cause the major implementation issues in completion of the project.

Issues in technology: The issues in technology had resulted in causing the major factors of dispute in the completion of the project of Construction of new port and harbour. According to Conforto et al. (2016), the issues in accepting of technology had resulted in forming the issues in the project development.

Environment Sustainability: The environment sustainability issues for the project of Construction of new port and harbour had resulted in forming the major hindrance in the development of the final project outcome.

Complexity of project: The complexity of the project operations would tend to result in causing the major hindrance in forming the development of the activities (Batselier and Vanhoucke 2015). The development of the harbor and ports is a very complex project as it require a lot of underwater works and that can result in increasing the complexity of the project.

The pre-tender programme for the estimation of the schedule for the project of Construction of new port and harbor is scheduled for starting on 2^nd April, 2018, and it would run for around 14 months. The estimated project plan schedule is given in the table below,

The overall project of Construction of new port and harbour is divided into 5 major phases of initial phase, planning phase, design phase, construction phase, and site inspection. The completion of all the phases would tend to result in developing the final project deliverable of the project. These phases have been explained below,

Initial Phase: The initiation phase comprises of initiating project and developing preliminary project requirement. The initial phase comprises of analysis of requirements, initiation documentation, charter documents, submitting the documents, and review and sign off. The initial phase would comprise of developing the initial documentation of the project and align it with the formation of the successive management operations. The project kick off is the final milestone of the project initiation phase.

Plan Development Phase: The planning phase comprise of developing a set of actions relevant for developing the final project outcomes for developing improved ports and harbor. The activities of the planning phase include schedule planning, communication planning, risk management planning, and budget estimation. The plan phase completed milestone is the end of the planning phase for the project. The planning phase would end in forming the complete plan for the project to be implemented.

Deployment of Pre-Tender Program for Project Schedule Estimation

Port and harbor design phase: The design phase for the port and harbor would help in forming a complete design developed for the completion of the activities and alignment of the operations. The activities of the design phase include making list of port and harbor stops, development of design for the construction activities, feasibility analysis, modification of the design, and final design development. The design phase completed is milestone for the design phase and it would tend to form the final design system implementation.

Construction Activities: The construction activities involves the development of the harbor and ports and it can be divided into general items or preliminaries, site preparation, earthworks, unloading jetty, and breakwater. The general items or preliminaries comprise of mobilization of equipments to site and demobilization, topographic survey and material testing, provide and maintain accommodation house for resident engineers, provide portable water, telephone, electricity, security, and welfare facilities for engineers accommodation. The site preparation comprises of general site clearance, site office with gate and fencing, site laboratory for testing of soil, concrete etc. with equipment and staffing, storage house for all materials to be used for the permanent works, and temporary access road. The earthworks consists of dredging and disposal of excavated soils, reclamation – fill by hydraulic means, reclamation – fill in the dry, reclamation – levelling and topping by sand-gravel mixture, and slope protection- supply and place amour rocks 200-300kg. The unloading jetty consists of supply of prestressed concrete piles, supply of steel pipe piles, test piling, handle and drive piles, handle and drive piles, chipping and disposal of pile top, cutting and disposal of pile top, filling concrete with reinforced cage, deck slab concrete, curb, setting and removal of formwork and false work, supply and installation of cell type rubber fender, supply and installation of 50 t bollard, and anti corrosion coating or painting upon completion. The breakwater consists of supply, place, and shape rubber bending stone, supply, place, and shape armour rocks, and in situ caisson concrete structure, reinforcement- grade 460/425 for 5.4.
