Exploration of risks and risk management in construction project deliveryMECandPMV
Risks are pervasive throughout construction projects and need to be properly managed. This document discusses:
1) Various types of risks that occur during different phases of the project life cycle from planning to construction.
2) How the selection of a project delivery system, such as design-bid-build or design-build, can impact risks related to costs, schedule and control.
3) Qualitative and quantitative risk analysis methods that can be used to identify, prioritize and evaluate risks, such as cause-and-effect diagrams and decision analysis.
Chemical attack on the durability of underground structuresMECandPMV
Pudlo modified concrete can help mitigate several types of chemical attack on concrete durability. It reduces permeability, absorption and diffusion, making the concrete virtually water-tight and preventing ingress of chloride ions, carbon dioxide, sulfates and other chemicals. This helps prevent corrosion of reinforcement and sulfate attack. Pudlo also densifies the concrete matrix, reducing the risk of salt weathering, delayed ettringite formation, and alkali-silica reaction. By enhancing concrete's permeation properties, Pudlo modified concrete shows improved resistance to many aggressive chemical exposures underground or in other structures.
This document discusses sustainable building materials and product selection criteria. It begins by outlining key categories for green building selection, including efficiency in extraction/manufacturing, reducing waste, using renewable resources, longevity, and prioritizing non-toxic materials. It then examines regulations like the EU Construction Products Regulation and various codes for sustainable building. Finally, it outlines different types of environmental declarations per ISO standards.
The document discusses standards for mobile access towers in the UK. It describes the Prefabricated Access Suppliers and Manufacturers Association (PASMA) as the recognized authority for mobile towers. The EN1004 standard requires towers to have guardrails, trapdoors, toe boards, built-in access, stabilizers, and instructions. Non-compliant towers may be missing these key safety features. The document also outlines inspection checklists to ensure towers are properly assembled and stabilized before use.
This document provides an overview of risk management for a community project. It discusses risk management during the planning and implementation phases. In the planning phase, the key steps are identifying risks, assessing their likelihood and impact to create a risk register, and developing mitigation strategies. Major risk categories include delays, costs, quality, and safety. The implementation phase focuses on construction activities and risks associated with those like variations, resources, and approvals. Continuous monitoring and updating of the risk register is important. The overall goal is to have a structured process to identify, prioritize and control risks to help ensure project success.
Guarantee mechanism for material supplied with guarantee certificatesMECandPMV
This document outlines a guarantee mechanism for valves supplied under a water projects contract. It defines guarantees and warranties, and establishes procedures for claims and remedies. The guarantee applies to valves and other materials from manufacturers for over one year. It details claim procedures, response times, and defines major and minor faults. The mechanism aims to replace or repair faulty materials after the contractor's maintenance period and is agreed upon by the client, supplier, and manufacturer.

The document discusses trends in greening concrete, with a focus on sustainability and environmental concerns. It provides background on the history of concrete, from early uses in ancient Syria and Egypt to modern applications. Concrete has evolved from a simple material to one that is highly sophisticated. There is a shift toward more environmentally friendly practices in the concrete industry in response to new regulations and advances in science and technology. Examples are given of both ancient Roman structures made with early forms of concrete as well as modern monumental buildings.
This document discusses planning for emergency rescue from heights when using mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs). It emphasizes that a legal requirement exists to plan for emergency rescue and that speed and ease of rescue can significantly impact injuries. The stages of emergency planning involve risk assessment to identify potential issues, prevention measures to reduce risks, developing a plan for safe lowering in case of failures, and communicating and practicing the plan. Key risks identified include machine malfunctions, operator incapacitation, lack of ground controls familiarity, and unsafe work practices. Prevention measures include nominating ground personnel, safe work procedures, familiarization training, pre-use checks, and competent operators. The plan should utilize platform or ground controls or contact engineers. Recent court

Structural health monitoring of intelligent infrastructureMECandPMV
Saeed Kia presents information on structural health monitoring (SHM). The document discusses what SHM is, including damage detection and characterization. It provides examples of SHM applications in buildings, bridges, tunnels, and other structures. The document also presents two case studies: health monitoring during erection of a stadium truss and health monitoring of a data center to prevent vibrations from affecting computing systems.
Pudlo is a concrete admixture that modifies the microstructure of concrete to improve its durability. It reduces permeability, absorption, and diffusion by densifying the cement paste and reducing porosity and pore size. This makes concrete virtually water-tight and prevents ingress of chloride ions, carbon dioxide, water and other chemicals that can cause corrosion of steel reinforcement or chemical attacks on concrete. Pudlo also autogenously heals microcracks to further improve concrete's resistance to permeation and durability against various degradation mechanisms like corrosion, sulfate attack, and acid attack. Case studies and third party testing show that Pudlo modified concrete outperforms standard concrete in real world exposure conditions and infrastructure projects.

This document discusses thermal insulation and non-ventilated facades in the UAE. It addresses the fire safety risks of using expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation in non-ventilated systems and recommends the use of fire barriers, including fire breaks at each building level and lintels above openings, to contain fires. For special buildings, it recommends combining fire barrier systems with extended lintel protections and vertical barriers between cladding types. Detailed installation methods are provided for integrating fire barriers into non-ventilated insulation systems.
