ADMINISTRATIVE SUMMARY
We, APTAS Engineering Network Ltd, deal with different types of engineering projects by
Electrical, Civil, Telecommunication, Mechanical and Environmental Engineering. We have the
reputation of an honest and hardworking engineering project Management Company in this region
of NSW, and we are bidding to take the charge for the construction of the new Climate Observation
Station at Mittagong, NSW which will have 90m2
of main station hut and 30m2
office room inside the
total area of 156m2
of fencing. Low budget schemes and financial aids are also provided according to
client’s choice by our company.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Project Goal
To construct the Climate Observation Station at Mittagong as per given condition, our asking
charge is AU$ 473646.33 including our profit and we will hand over the project by 20 weeks. The
station will have two huts among them one is the main station another one is the controlling office.
This station will record and transmit continuous signals (geological, weather and seismological data)
to a central monitoring site via satellite. The weather information can be checked by using the
station’s website as well. The data of the website will be updated every hour. So, the main goal of
the project is to build the station in such a way so that it can run above tasks and every single
installment will be done to make the station run the tasks.
1.2 Project Objective
There are few objectives of this project. One of them is to use the desired location efficiently to
meet the certain necessity. We will provide all the support of delivery, installation, testing,
operational assistance and maintenance of the station. Monitoring from pin to plasma of the plan
will be took place. We will provide the basic materials of the station to appropriate contractors on
the requirement. We are supposed to set up a meeting after completing each step of the station. All
the sensors of the station will be placed accordingly, and the process will be double-checked. Finally,
we are going to build the climate observation station that can be used for weather forecasting, air
pollution modeling and assessing environmental impact.
So, overall we have to make sure the tasks bellow:
• Total area: 156m2
• Main station hut: 90m2
• Office room: 30m2
• Installing devices

of 38
• Testing after completion
• Handover on time
• Make all the things done within budget

3. Activity Network
3.1 Activity Network Diagram
The activity network diagram is a different approach to describing the workflow of the project. This
process is based on pictures that represent the dependency of each task. In each task 7 different
tasks types. ES (Early Start), EF (Early Finish), TF (Total Float), LS (Late Start), LF (Late Finish), D
(Duration), TA (Task Activity) and FF (Free Float). In addition, the critical path which was represented
in the Gantt Chart it is also represented on the Activity Network Diagram. The critical path is the
path that must be kept in mind, in order to, avoid any delays which can extend the total project
duration.
After developing the Activity Duration table and the Predecessor table the Activity Network
Diagram can be created. In the figure X illustrated below, it can be observed the Activity Network
Diagram.
Figure 3 -Network Diagram
Furthermore, it is also important to identify the Critical Path on the Activity Network Diagram.
Critical Path represents every task of the project that cannot be delayed, in order to, avoid an
extension of the duration of the project. Hence, if TF (Total Float) and FF (Free Float) of the project
are 0 it means that there is any chance that the project duration is going to be extended.
Subsequently, the critical project of the Activity Network Diagram is A-B-C-D-E-I-J-N-O.

of 38
3.2 Gantt Chart
Another distinct technique to represent every stage of the project is to develop a Gantt Chart. This type of chart does not include any task detail. Gantt
Charts are used to read predecessors, successors, dependency and the duration of each project task. Equally important to refer, a Gantt Chart is
represented on an X, Y axis. X, represents the duration of each task and the duration of the whole project, while Y, shows every single activity or task that is
included in the project. Below is illustrated the Gantt Chart for the respective project.
Figure 4 – Gantt Chart

4. RISK MANAGEMENT
In the current project, the risk management context aims to decrease any risk that can might
occur during the construction of the new Climate Observation Station in Mittagong, NSW. This
project pretends to identify, treat and modify any source of potential risk that can affect the
construction. Every risk must be assessed in terms, of likelihood and severity, in order to
determine the respective risk rating. Later on, applying a proper risk treatment is essential, in
the interest of, mitigate the potential risk. The risk sources associated with the construction of
the Climate Observation Station are clearly classified in the figure illustrated below, which
represents the Risk Breakdown Structure of the project.
Figure 5 – Risk Breakdown Structure
In order to analyse the different types of risks that might occur, a risk matrix table has
been developed. The respective table is shown below, and it is used to measure the risk rating
regarding, probability and consequences.
After identifying and describing the probabilities, consequences and risk ratings of the
project the risk register table can be developed. Potential environmental risks are identified
according to typical weather conditions for this area:

7. CONCLUSION
The project of establishing a climate observation station is subject to rational project
management procedures. According to the plan presented, the climate observation station is
expected to launch in 27th
of January 2017 immediately after the project closeout meeting takes
place. Adequate planning has been done in order to effectively complete the establishment of the
station within the required time frame. It is expected that the climate observation station will
promote societal welfare within the area and thereby we can attract government attention by
submitting proposals in formal procedure. In that way the successful establishment of the climate
observation station will open doors for government funding which will help us recover the costs of
establishment. Furthermore, the station will provide accurate readings of different parameters of
climate e.g. temperature, rainfall, humidity as well as reliable weather forecast within the area.
Rainfall probability will be accurately determined and displayed in a giant screen next to the
entrance of the station. This will make sure that the residents of the area are provided with high
quality weather information. The main aim of establishing the climate observation station is to
attract the eyes of entrepreneurs and also the government bodies which will help us get more
funding. This funding will enable us to extrapolate our project to different regions of Australia within
the same brand name
