This document provides an overview of the Victoria Station Upgrade project in London. It discusses the need to upgrade the station due to increasing passenger numbers. The upgrade aims to enlarge the station by 110% and make it double-ended to improve capacity and journey times. It faces challenges due to its location in central London and proximity to other transport infrastructure. The project involves complex engineering solutions while keeping the station operational. It has achieved milestones on schedule and maintained a strong safety record through its delivery approach and stakeholder management.
101025 Excellence in Exc Planning Presentation E HeilandErik Heiland
The document describes the excavator planning process at Drayton Mine in Australia. It involves 8 steps: 1) mine activity design, 2) 16 week schedule, 3) monthly operating plan design review, 4) MOP delivery plan meeting, 5) excavator plan sign off process, 6) weekly plan process and pack, 7) daily pit communication, and 8) dig area reviews. The comprehensive process focuses on long-term and short-term planning, communication, and continuous improvement to efficiently uncover coal while ensuring safety.
Mine Haul Road Upgrade Project OZ Minerals Prominent Hill South AustraliaStephen McKnight
An all weather Haul Road Upgrade Project was implemented at the OZ Minerals Prominent Hill site in March 2012. The primary objective was to introduce a "traffic light" system identifying the various levels of remediation required and types of depths and material to be utilised. Once designed crossfalls and appropriate drainage were established in conjunction with sub-base, base and wearing course materials the mining haul roads were capable of sustaining traffic during light rain events; thus increasing productivity and vehicle integrity and longevity for sustained periods. The project provided appropriate road systems both in pit and on surface routes to the waste dumps and ROM Pad during rain events. Some $4M per year in recovered productivity has been anticipated by the implementation of this successful project initiative.

The document introduces Norm Sacuta and Brittney Musleh, who will present on carbon capture and storage. It then provides an overview of the Petroleum Technology Research Centre (PTRC), including that it is a not-for-profit research organization that has studied CO2 utilization and storage for 23 years through projects like Aquistore and Weyburn-Midale. The presentation outline indicates it will cover topics ranging from capture and transport technologies to monitoring CO2 storage sites.
The document summarizes the Wellborn Community Plan, which includes land use designations, transportation improvements, costs, and recommendations. Key points include:
- The plan has 4 chapters addressing community character, mobility, implementation, and appendices with supporting information.
- It proposes 10 land use designations and transportation modifications like changing road classifications and adding bike routes and sidewalks.
- Total projected costs are $24.2 million, including intersection improvements, road and trail construction, and bike route signage through 2023.
- Advisory boards recommended approving the plan with adding text on bike accommodations for an expanded road.
Bull Neck Stream Restoration Pardon Our Dust Meeting May 2, 2018Fairfax County
Fairfax County plans to begin construction on a stream restoration project in Bull Neck Run in August 2018. Approximately 1,900 linear feet of Bull Neck Run will be restored. The stream runs through Fairfax County Park Authority property and Spring Hill Farm HOA property.
West Open House (Mount Dennis Station to Keelesdale Station) - March 2018Crosstown TO
Metrolinx was created in 2006 to coordinate transportation in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). It has invested over $30 billion in new transit infrastructure, including 64 km of new light rail transit lines like the Eglinton Crosstown LRT. The 19 km Crosstown route will connect to 54 bus routes and 3 subway stations, running mostly underground with 25 stations. Community benefits programs aim to support local employment, businesses, and investments. Construction updates provided include progress on stations, tunnels, bridges and the maintenance facility.

Alberta Transportation's First Design-Build (DB) Project - Stony Plain Road I...AamerShakoor
Alberta Transportation (TRANS) developed a new Design-Build (DB) project delivery framework to complement its traditional Design-Bid-Build (DBB) delivery mechanism and the successful Public-Private-Partnership (P3) or Design-Build-Finance-Operate (DBFO) delivery process. The new DB process incorporated all benefits and efficiencies of the P3 process as well as the rigorous quality assurance procedures of the DBB contracts. TRANS successfully implemented the DB process on a systems interchange at Anthony Henday Drive (AHD) and Stony Plain Road (SPR)/100 Avenue in Edmonton. The DB process provided substantial cost savings over the DBB approach and also allowed the interchange to be opened to traffic one year earlier on November 4, 2011.

• Reduction of lateral clearances by introduction of

clearance to goods line.
• Lowering vertical clearance by surveying live OHLE
and taking further advice from our rail transport
business.
• Detailed modelling of road alignment to suit rail
equipment.
• Piling methodology still not agreed (major threat to
budget).
• Meetings with NR to discuss implications to
construction methodology given change to

• Alternative temporary works systems being
discussed with NR, positive feedback received.

56. • Labour rates were both sourced externally and built up
internally from first principles. The latter were incorporated
into the ITC after it was shown it gave best value.
• Plant rates were derived from plant hirers’ quotes, from our
supply chain framework agreements and from actual costs
from current contracts.
• Material rates were obtained through competitive tendering
processes, thereby demonstrating best value. Rates for
standard minor items were derived from framework
agreements. Comparison sheets were compiled and have
been made available for inspection.
LP&M Pricing Elements for Initial Target Cost
58. Risk
• Regular integrated risk workshops were held to identify and understand
the effects of the risks, to determine mitigation strategies and to identify
the nature and extent of the residual risks.
• The level of risk allowance and pricing was co-ordinated with the pricing
certainty in the bills of quantities, thus avoiding duplication of
allowances.
• The Crystal Ball risk evaluation programme, operating on the Monte
Carlo principle, was used to evaluate the residual risk carried forward to
the Target Cost. The 70 percentile risk value was used
59. • The ITC has been carried out on an open book basis, and
the Employer’s Agents, Scott Wilson, have been provided
with the information necessary for verification.
• Agreement has been ongoing throughout the process and
generally has been achieved on an informal discussion
basis, thereby removing a critical path element from the
Phase 1 programme

68. • Each week the individual design team leader is responsible for collating
the hours of his staff and entering them on a spreadsheet.
• This spreadsheet demonstrates the actual hours spent and compares
this with the progress of the activity to forecast an out-turn number of
hours.
• The separate activity sheets are then entered onto a summary sheet
which demonstrates the actual hours spent on the design activity as a
whole and compares this with the progress of the design to forecast an
out-turn number of hours.
• By applying the agreed rates to these spreadsheets we are able to
monitor the actual and forecast the out-turn cost of the design function.
• Verification of the staff times is made by sample checking of the time
sheets
