Project Controls – Risk Assessment
Brief History: Planning and Management Until 1900, civil engineering projects were generally managed by creative architects, engineers, and master builders themselves, for example, Vitruvius (first century BC), Christopher Wren (1632–1723), Thomas Telford (1757–1834) and Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806–1859). In the 1950s, organizations started to systematically apply project management tools and techniques to complex engineering projects. As a discipline, project management developed from several fields of application including civil construction, engineering, and heavy defense activity. Two forefathers of project management are Henry Gantt, called the father of planning and control techniques, who is famous for his use of the Gantt [...]
Conflicts in Project Management
The most frustrating part of handling a construction project is the conflict between ideas and opinions. This article will help you to have a much clearer vision of how to deal with such conflicts and how these are properly managed. Project Management This is the process of dealing with or controlling the projects and the people around them to reach a certain goal in a given time schedule with its human resources, financial resources, technological resources, and natural resources. Conflict A conflict is an opposition. If you, an Engineer and you’re having a meeting with the Architect and the [...]
Cycles of Project Management
The Project Management Cycle Initiate This is where you are going to initiate and start the project. Know the concept and the project charter. Plan You need to define what is needed in the project: the scope of work, the budget, the work breakdown schedule, bar charts, and S-curves. You can also build a communication plan and risk assessment. Execute Here, you’re going to launch what you have planned. Know the status and track them. Know the KPIs, quality, and forecasts. Monitor and Control Know your performance and determine if objectives per scope are being controlled. You must monitor [...]

Quality Control and Assurance – Rebar Testing
What is Rebar Testing? Rebar Testing is a destructive material testing. It is conducted to assure the quality of the rebar if it follows the national standards. There are two types of tests, the tensile test and bending test. Before they proceed with the testing, the testing technicians will check the physical properties of the rebar listed below: Physical properties: Length of specimen (mts.) Weight of test specimen (kgs) Diameter of test specimen (mm) Cross-sectional area of test specimen (sq.mm) Unit mass of specimen (kg/mts.) Variation in Mass (%) And after the testing we will determine its deformation properties [...]
Quality Control and Assurance – Material Testing
Concrete Material Testing Before concrete pouring, concrete from mixers are being tested by a method called slump test, when the concrete is PumpCrete Design (PCD), Bored Pile Mixed (BPM), or spread test, when the concrete is designed as Self Compacting Concrete (SCC). Slump or spread test is where you are determining the consistency and quality of concrete to water ratio. After passing this test, the sampler will provide you a cylinder where the concrete sampled is to be retained for compressive strength testing after 7, 14 and 28 days. (Note: 28 Days - the concrete will achieve its maximum [...]
