Case Study Flashcards
Please describe what the feasibility evaluation process looked like?
When I first become involved in the project 7 concept options had been developed by the architect ranging from minimal impact to high impact. Key objectives (outside of regulatory requirement) included:
1) Dealing with existing ACMs
2) Dealing with M&E equipment past its design life
3) Improving passenger flow and experience
4) Improving operational efficiency
I chaired several workshops to gain the input of the various airport stakeholders (directors, security team, terminal operations, IT, PRM, commercial, marketing etc.).
What were the different types of asbestos encountered on this project?
1) Asbestos insulated board
2) Asbestos sprayed coating on soffit
3) Asbestos lagging
Majority licensed work.
How are different types of asbestos dealt with?
In accordance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012:
1) Asbestos consultant undertook R&D surveys
2) Asbestos consultant developed scope of asbestos removals
3) Licensed asbestos removal contractor (LARC) (HSE licensed contractor) appointed as part of the WS1 contract.
4) Air monitoring by independent monitor
5) Polythene enclosures with smoke tests and air lock
6) Quilling
How were you able to maintain airport operations?
a. Weekly planning meetings
b. Temporary hoarding phasing plans
What was the communication process to notify airport management / stakeholders of the ongoing works?
a. Weekly planning meetings
b. Monthly project manager’s report, presented at progress meetings
What M&E Infrastructure was replaced within WS1?
a. Replacement of air handling unit, new MVHR, ducting, diffusers (HVAC)
b. Replacement of main switchboard (LV panel)
c. Replacement of lighting, new small power, fire detection
Within WS1, what type of lift access was provided?
There was an existing lift shaft from ground to second floor, however the lift was only configured to go to the first floor as there was not access route from the second floor (plant room in the way). Once a new corridor was constructed through the plant room (following removal of the AHU, the lift was reconfigured so that that it went to the second floor also (using access card only).
Describe you’re approach to producing the master programme?
I created an outline programme during the feasibility stage, once an option had been chosen. I created the programme in MS Project, ensuring tasks were linked with suitable logic, so that any changes would automatically adjust predecessor tasks.
When the contractors were appointed I incorporated their contract programmes into my master programme.
How did you maintain the programme?
a. If changes occurred in the contract programmes I amended the master programme accordingly.
b. I updated the master programme in weekly planning meetings to reflect progress and any anticipated changes to planned activities.
