Technical Office.Lead Planning Engineer for the overall project (Primavera P3 v3.1) (2 years).
Project details:Project value US$1.6Billion, Scope contract value US$200,000,000.
The project when completed will produce from the North Field 1.6 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas, transport and process to produce approximately 120,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day of condensate, liquefied petroleum gas and ethane. Our cork consists of the civil and mechanical construction and erection of the (30000 Metric tonnes/day - 875000 Nm3/hr) eight (8) train Air Separation Units of the Pearl GTL plant located in Ras Laffan/Qatar. (cold box, moseive condensers, Air cooler condensers, steel and concrete piperacks, piping works, equipment installations, control buildings).
50,000WDI pipe welding works, 85.000m2 painting, eight each of 427ton Cold Box, 237ton BAC units, 217ton MAC units heavy lifts completed. 20,000,000 manhours without loss time incident.
My scope of work consisted of
● The creation and feeding of the Level4 and 5 schedules with modifications to the client level3 as needed. All work related for the successful creation and continuous use (distribution, forecasting, alternatives, history) of the schedule.
● All work is subdivided per discipline per area per expertise per Activity ID. Number of activities averages around 27000. We had a peak of 48000 activities (excessive quantity because of piping detail later consolidated).
● Critical Resource loading and budgeting of the schedule. Loading of the critical equipment (cranes such as the 800T & 400T cranes, Gantry crane) needed for specific time/cost critical activities. Manpower per discipline loading done. Regularly compared with actual site values.
● Sequence & constructability studies with site managers/Supervisors. Distribution, explanation and coaching of critical site supervisors on the values of using a schedule.
● Calculation of resource loading overall, per area, per discipline, per system as required.
● Calculation of progress values overall, per area, per discipline, per system as required.
● Projected Cash flow histograms.
● Monitoring of the above for major changes, checks to schedule with actual site progress, resource use etc.
● Written and verbal weekly, monthly reports of site status to own management and client.
● Planning team consisted of two primavera users (peek 3) and one (peek 3) site personnel for data gathering besides site supervisor feedback.
