INTRODUCTION

The demand for scientific management in

different types of projects is constantly increasing,
especially for project base organizations,
Engineering, Procurement and Construction
(EPC) projects
Utilization of Project Risk Management
methodologies, especially in large EPC projects
can lead to huge advantages on all aspects of
projects development.
It can also be implemented as the main reference
and basis for bidding, tendering and execution
(including cost, time, resource, and quality
management).
By risk identification, assessment and control,
probable gaps between estimated and real cost,
time, and quality of projects can be prevented or
decreased.
For a complex mega infrastructure project like
construction of underground metro rail construction, risk
assessment should be mandatory during the conceptual
and feasibility phase of the project. For effective risk
assessment, proper investigation and identification of the
sources of risks need to be carried out by the risk
management team. These risks can be assessed or
measured in terms of likelihood, impact and
consequences.
For case study illustrated by happened risk, mitigation
plans, foreseen risk and plans of CMRL UAA-04 project

OBJECTIVES
Risk Management is the process of identifying,
analysing and responding to risk factors
throughout the life of a project and in the best
interests of its objectives.
Proper risk management implies control of
possible future events and is proactive rather than
reactive
Forecast and plan for mitigation of known risk
Develop Risk response strategies for dealing with
unexpected
Perform Qualitative and quantitative risk analysis
To prepare methodology cope with future
occurrence
To prepare risk response and contingency plans
Monitor and control risk throughout the project
life cycle
To prepare risk register and make use further
same type of project

Design and construction of Underground Stations at Nehru Park, KMC

and Pachaiappas College and Associated Tunnels- UAA-04

Unforeseen Risks due to formation of

Cavity in Diaphragm Wall panels at
Pachaiappas College Station

The likelihood for cavity occurrence in D-wall

panel is 0.25 and a potential impact of delaying
work by 4 weeks.
Risk Time= 4 Weeks x 0.25 = 1 Week
Installation of bore well adjacent of cavity
affected d-wall for rectifying the cavities by
lowering the water level and do micro concrete
grouting at 1mt intervals further mitigation.

Risks involved in Charted and Uncharted Utility Diversion at Nehru

Park Station mitigated by inter change and inter displacement method
in utility diversion adopted according to the D-Wall construction
programme

4.

Collapse of Diaphragm Wall Panel No 147 at KMC Station

Bund making to maintain the
polymud level for restrict ingress
of water into the trench further
mitigation.

The likelihood of occurring collapse of panel is 0.25 and a potential

impact of 1 week delay in work
Risk Time= 1 week x 0.25= 0.25 Week

We get to know about the varieties of

risks and their assessment for various site
conditions.
Assessment is mandatory for each and
every site activity, no matter, what is its
significance.
Contingency plan to be followed for high
risk activities.
Close and continuous monitoring is
required for its mitigation.
Timely action and decision taking is also
needed.
Incorporation of previous projects
experience help to mitigate the new risks.
All risks happened at site and its
mitigation plans definitely help for great
extent in future risk assessments.
