It gets worse, 44 (32%)of these were poorly built and 13 (9%) were not commissioned on time".- AG SA PFMA report.

Interesting report published by the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) today on factors that can contribute to systemic failures of cost management on major infrastructure projects. Having a long-term plan that is funded across multiple years and streamlining the statutory approval processes are central tenets. 👎 Cause: Lack of clear strategic direction 🔨 Solution: Long-term funding guided by a long-term strategy; stable policy environment; prioritisation. 👎 Cause: Client and sponsorship challenges 🔨 Solution: Clear accountability; golden thread between government, the sponsor, and the delivery body; appropriate decision-making structures; building sills and capability within the client organisation. 👎 Cause: Inefficient consenting and compliance 🔨 Solution: Streamlined and simpler planning system, improved clarity on what standards projects must meet to mitigate their impacts on the environment; appropriate culture to risk. 👎 Cause: A constrained supply chain 🔨 Solution: Long-term pipeline to enable investment in the construction sector to address productivity challenges and skills gaps.

What Does EPC project mean? An EPC project, which stands for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction, is a type of contract used for large-scale construction projects. In an EPC project, a single contractor takes on the responsibility for designing, procuring materials, and building the project. This type of contract is common in industries like energy, infrastructure, and manufacturing. #EPC #Project #Consulting #Process #Eng

Prudent Project Financial Management for Project Success Prudent project financial management is key to the success of any built-environment project, this coupled with proactive contract administration, project management and value engineering. This however does not rest on the consultant alone but on the entire project team including the Employer, the Contractor and all relevant stakeholders. Swakopmund Municipality commenced with a project to redirect the Swakopmund North sewer reticulation network to the new wastewater treatment works with the construction of approximately 2.3 km of rising mains and 2.3 km of gravity sewer lines. This project will however see an additional 1 km of sewer rising main constructed, all within the original project budget. As Lithon we are proud to be associated with projects such as these that show what value cooperative project implementation and prudent project financial management brings to the built environment.
