Freelance Project Planner, Seimens VAI, Shutdown for Refurbishment of a Hot Strip Mill in India

START Date: 
June, 2005
END Date: 
August, 2007

My main role was to prepare and implement as a project shutdown planner for a 32 day 24 hour shutdown on a modernisation of a hot strip mill in India. This project required me to make several trips to India prior to the shutdown in order to finalise the detailed Primavera plan and understand the work ahead. I worked very closely with the project manager, site manager and the client. The plan was highly detailed due to the short time scaled required for this work. One of the key constraints was the number of cranes and the their position.
