🌍🔌✨ Risk Management Success on an International Megaproject! Viking Link, the world's longest power cable connection, kicked off commercial operations on December 29, 2023, slightly ahead of schedule and within budget! Viking Link stands as a remarkable achievement and milestone in the green transition, and it was an exquisite pleasure to be part of such a well-executed construction project. One of the key pillars of this success story was the exceptionally strong sense of team spirit and excellent collaboration across national borders, nationalities, industries, and companies. In my field of expertise, risk management, I witnessed a truly remarkable collaboration where project objectives took precedence over individual interests. The strong support from top management, coupled with trustful relationships across the entire organisation, fostered a solution-oriented, proactive, pragmatic approach to risk management. Risks were identified and mitigated early on, and the risk landscape and budget throughout the project proved to be accurate and adequate ... even overcoming a pandemic and war in Europe. As we look ahead, there are numerous large-scale green construction projects awaiting realisation. Viking Link stands as a beacon, showcasing that the green transition is achievable. Let's continue the good work together to build a sustainable future! 💚🌱 #risikmanagement #sustainability #renewableenergy #climateaction #futureenergy

Join us Monday, June 17th, 2024, for the next Integrated Project Delivery Alliance (IPDA) webinar: Risky Business. It will be moderated by IPDA board member Jeff Tyson from AltaPro Electric Ltd. with panelists from WSP, City of Edmonton, and Stantec. Come to listen to a few experienced IPD people in the Construction industry speak about the challenges, opportunities, and lessons learned about risk management in an IPD project. We will discuss various types of risk register tools, items to consider with risk. Ideas on how to apply factors to risks to keep a viable project while being aware of the various risks that can be a financial and schedule burden to the project. There will also be a Q+A session to discuss participant's thoughts and questions about risk management in an IPD project.

Nice Article ! Success for any construction project lies in timely completion. Construction projects always involve various risks. These risks refers to the conditions that may negatively affect the project’s objectives such as cost, time, quality, or safety. These risks can arise from various sources and need to be identified, assessed, and managed effectively. By managing these risks proactively, construction projects can minimize potential negative impacts and increase the likelihood of successful completion 👍

The Strategic Role of Risk Register in Progressive Design-Build Projects This month, the Montana Department of Transportation in US published a guide to Progressive Design-Build (PDB) contracts. The document highlights the pivotal role of risk register in PDB projects for managing future changes and minimizing disputes [1]. The report describes the risk register as a collaborative project management tool that necessitates contributions from all parties selected by the owner to deliver a PDB project. It serves as a contractual element to enhance the project’s cost certainty by encouraging non-owner participants to think proactively about project risks and mitigation strategies. For instance, If the non-owner party does not identify a particular risk, that risk will default to the corresponding party, and they may not be entitled to relief. This could put their profit at risk and cause considerable loss. However, for risks identified during design development, if risk events are triggered during construction phase, the non-owner parties will be entitled to compensation or schedule relief. The attached figure, adapted from the report, illustrates the distribution of risks between owner and non-owner parties. As depicted, the owner is accountable for the budget to cover potential change orders stemming from the risk register, while the non-owner parties are liable for risks not recorded in the risk register. This approach to risk management bolsters a project’s cost certainty, safeguards the contractor against unexpected changes in the scope of work, and ensures the owner that the construction costs are not inflated to cover unidentified risks. As mentioned, the risk register is an essential component of PDB contracts, serving as the basis for determining contractors’ entitlements to compensation or schedule relief. Despite its significance, the effort required to establish a mature and comprehensive risk register is often underestimated. For those engaged in the delivery of PDB projects, I encourage you to evaluate the size and the level of engagement of your project’s risk management team. Is the level of investment in risk management adequate for its intended purpose? Your thoughts or any additional insights is appreciated!

Matthew Taylor spoke at this year's Commercial Risk Construction Conference, underlining the importance of large-scale lithium-ion batteries in the energy transition. However, these batteries introduce new, unique risks that insurers must carefully assess. As an industry, it's imperative that we work more closely with builders and owners of projects to mitigate risks, ensuring the sustainability and profitability of BESS assets.

📣 Last chance to register! 🚨 Project Management during a Major Incident 📆 Wednesday 15th May, 12:30pm - 4:30pm 📍Institution of Civil Engineers, London ⚡ Join us tomorrow at our half-day seminar 'Project Management during a Major Incident'. In a world buffeted by climate change, geo-political and economic instability, 'major incidents' (or high impact, high urgency events) pose an ever-greater risk to major projects. This can include events such as terrorist attacks or extreme weather events for which public authorities will formally declare a major incident as well as rapidly evolving crises such as the sudden failure of a key supplier or an unexpected lurch in political direction.   💡 The projects community has invested heavily in risk management processes to manage unexpected events. Chaired by Dr David Hancock MBA, Construction Director at the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA), this seminar will draw out insight from that work but in a multi-organisation major project context. We will also examine lessons from recent thinking and practice in areas such as business continuity planning and disaster recovery planning that are used by colleagues working in operational environments.   💬 Speakers will look at challenges through the lifecycle of a major incident from initial response, through consolidation and recovery and into the restoration of normality. Delegates will hear from speakers from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the London Fire Brigade, NATS, Bechtel Civil Infrastructure and bp. ➡ Register here: https://lnkd.in/eiU8kqjB Andy Murray Manon Bradley Sascha Flint Ellie Gregory Myrna Rickards #majorprojects #projectmanagement #knowledgesharing #mpaevent #londonevent #seminar #riskmanagement

Climate change and the race to net zero, inflation, new and untested building products, geopolitics and supply chain fragilities will continue to provide ever more volatility in the world of construction. As projects continue to get larger and more complex, the list of challenges facing construction leaders has never been greater and continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Therefore the role of risk management and its ability to monitor, manage and transfer risks into insurance solutions in the construction industry has an increasingly vital role to play.
