Project Management
INTRODUCTION
Sound Project Management from concept to commissioning is the key to

success. When any project is taken up, each and every phase right from
inception till the final completion must be thoroughly, effectively and
tightly controlled so that each successive milestone achieved in time
contributes to building the blocks of ultimate success in fulfillment of
desired objectives. Leading organizations in the world achieve success in
Project management by controlling the following four factors through all
phases of a project in order of priority.
1. Safety,
2. Quality,
3. Time and
4. Cost.
Basics of a Project:
1. Eco Friendly: Every project must incorporate required
environment protection measures and meet the norms.
2. Competitive: The project must be competitive when compared
against similar projects being done by others in the field.
3. Project Cycle Time: With borrowed capital, reduction in project
cycle – time goes a long way in reducing the project cost by way of
reduction in interest during construction.
4. Efficiency in Operations: Basic design of the project must aim at
highest levels of efficiency in operations to fully justify time money
and effort put in to build the project.
5. Quality and Safety: Without the high standards of quality and
safety in execution, no project can be successful.
6. Customer Expectations: Above all, ultimately, a project must be
able to meet expectation of its Techno-economical viability.
Projects must clearly establish this basic requirement.
7. Reliable Technology: Use of proven and reliable technology is
essential for any project, to be called successful.
Trends, Issues and Critical Success Factors:
Following factors contribute to success of projects.
1. Clear Vision and Project Objectives: aims and objectives of the
project need to be clearly defined to set the right direction and
tone to enable accurate assessment of benefits derived on project
completion.
2. Strategic and Detailed Project Planning: Detailed work
breakdown structure and integrated work plans need to be developed in
the beginning itself. Care is to be taken so that time estimation for
different activities remains as accurate as possible.

Project Management
3. Dynamic Leadership: Similar to importance of the role of a good
captain in any game, role of dynamic leadership for a project is
important. Positive, bold, timely and quality decisions taken by
them to steer a project towards success are very important factors.
4. Committed, Dedicated and Competent Team: Every project
requires teamwork, close coordination and unidirectional efforts to
create a synergy. Along with hard work, required level of technical
and managerial competence in team members is essential.
5. Integrated Project Management Systems: Putting a sound
project management system, which is capable of integrating
multifarious, and multi agency activities being done in parallel is
required to ensure synchronism and converging of activities
towards one common goal of project completion. This system
should be able to organize, multi level planning and monitoring of
project activities as per the requirement.
6. Project Cost Control: Effective built in measures to ensure
control of cost both in design and execution phases of a project are
essential.
7. Owner's Involvement: Deep involvement of owner at every step
to see that above system functions to its full potential is must in
any project management. Elaborate systems and procedures alone
cannot guarantee any results unless they are effectively
implemented and every step is followed till its logical conclusion.
8. Handling of Emergencies and Surprises: Mid course
corrections would be required to take care of any interim delays.
Applying ‘what if’ logic to anticipate project surprises, assessment
of risks and putting in place a “Risk Control and Mitigation
Plan” is necessary. Adequate safety and fire protection measures
should also be a part of project execution.
Clarity in Contract Management: Large projects require handling of
major contracts. Following aspects are crucial to manage these
contracts.
• Optimization of contract packages for effective and faster
implement-tation. Here, scope of entire project is covered
under mutually exclusive packages.
• Framing of qualification requirements to ensure competition
from competent agencies.
• Broad based specifications to generate competition.
• Clearly defined evaluation criteria and selection of agencies
based on price and capability consideration.
• Tie up of work programme and quality plans with
commitment of matching resources as part of contract.
• Dispute resolution mechanism, introduction of incentives and
penalties.
Project Management
• Mechanism for early closing of contracts after work
completion.
Sound Engineering Practices: Major projects require a very strong
engineering support. Aspects related to engineering to be taken care
include
• Up front engineering to maximum possible extent,
• Standardization of plants and layouts,
• Standardization of equipment,
• Design automation,
• Design simplification and reduction in number of components
and
• High reliability of overall process, sub systems and
components.
Quality Assurance:
• Control of quality from raw material stage.
• Control of quality during manufacturing stages for major and
critical equipment with stage and final inspections at pre
determined check-points.
• Quality assurance for field activities.
Strong Infrastructure Base: Many projects have been delayed due to
weak
infrastructure. It needs to be ensured that basic infrastructure of roads;
power, water, and tie up for raw material like steel and cement are made
before start of main construction for large projects. Project team and
team leader should be in position well in time. This will ensure
expeditious completion of the project.
Construction Technology: Choice of latest construction technology
helps both in safe execution as well as results in substantial saving in
terms of time. It also helps in improving quality of construction and
ultimately results in saving of costs. It is better if methodology to be
adopted for construction and erection is worked out, discussed and
decided in advance.
Resources: Inadequate resources spell certain delay for any project
execution. Adequate resources of men and material are essential in all
the phase of project like engineering, procurement and construction.
Manufacturing and Production: Detailed manufacturing plans,
advance tie up for raw material, timely engineering inputs, adequate in-
house facilities for manufacturing, outsourcing as per need are some of
the important factors that control timely supplies. Following can further
Project Management
help in this stage of project.
• Timely procurement of bought out items,
• Improved productivity through technology up gradation,
• Dispatch of modular units in place of individual components,
• Improved packing to minimize transit damages and
• Faster transportation tie ups.
Control and Monitoring: Close follow up and expediting at all levels
based on exception is essential in all the phases of the project. Every
team member must do it in his respective area with a sense of urgency
and ownership. Increased use of “Information technology” in this
area will help in faster work. Effective implementation of integrated
project management systems is essential for the desired output. Regular
audit and continuous improvement of these systems is essential for the
desired output and to keep pace with the changes.
Fund Management: Interruption in flow of adequate funds will
jeopardize the progress of any project. Performance linked budget
projections and “their regular monitoring helps in better management.
Safety in Construction: During execution of any project, accidents of
any type will lead to delays, Danger or loss of human lives is to be
avoided at any cost. It can be checked with the following measures.
• Built in safety clauses in contracts.
• Adequacy of required skills in workers for that particular type

of job.
• Availability of protective equipment.
• Proper working conditions.
• Adequate supervision.
• Owner’s insistence for importance of safety.
• Suitable incentives and penalties.

Smooth Transition to Normal Operation: A project is complete only
when it goes in normal operation phase and desired level of output in all
parameters is achieved on a sustained basis. Hence, momentum of first
start up of any project is required to be carried forward till this is
achieved.
Backward and Forward Integration: Completing a project in
isolation may not deliver results if it is a part of chain of projects. In such
cases, backward and forward integration to march the schedules of other
connected projects is essential to be constantly monitored.

Project Management
External Perspective: Any project, which enjoys active support of
authorities as well as general public and is in harmony with its
surroundings, always, has better chances of success as risk of
interruptions on this account is eliminated.
Various Phases of Project Management:
Any project during implementation has to pass through the following
phases, some of which may have overlapping periods. Issues given
above are to be applied and addressed at each of these phases in order
to ensure success of the project.
• Project initiation and proposal,
• Project appraisal and approval,
• Project packaging and ordering,
• Procurement, manufacturing and delivery,
• Construction, installation,
• Commissioning and transition to normal operation,
• Performance testing and project evaluation against set objectives
and
• Project feedback, lessons learnt.
For project feedback and assessment, opinion of project authorities
alone is not enough. Assessment by customer whether the project fulfills
all objectives or not is the most important factor. Also, opinion of other
parties involved including public is very important to determine the
success of any project. Lessons learnt when documented well will help in
improving similar projects to be taken up in future.
Types of Contract:
The contracts may be for
1. Supply of major equipment separately (Eg. Transformers, Circuit
breakers, Instrument transformers etc.),
2. Supply of major material separately (Eg. Structures, Conductor,
Insulators, Illumination, and Fire fighting equipment etc. separately),
3. Erection works including required minor material (cement, sand, steel,
clamps connectors etc.) and
4. Turn-key contract includes all materials and erection.
Method of Tendering:
1. Open Tenders: Competitive tenders can be obtained.
2. Selective Tendering / Limited Tenders: Tenders from reputed
firms save time.
Project Management
3. Nominated Tenders: For minor works at rate contract rates or
approved schedule Rates from reputed firms.
Important Terms and Conditions of Open Competitive Bids:
Extracts of Instructions to Bidders (ITB), General Conditions of Contract, and
General Conditions of Erection (GCE) are given in the Annexure-3. The project
managers shall go through the terms of contract and if any clarifications are
required the same shall be obtained from the owner before tendering for the

Sources of Finance:
Owner’s Support:
1. Advance payment: The OWNER shall support the contractor
by paying advance to cover contract ‘front end’ expenditure such
as mobilization, early engineering work, and payments to
subcontractors, commission and insurances. Such advances will
be of the order of 10% to 20%.
2. Progressive payments: Payments for the supplies made and
erection works shall be made within stipulated time without
delays to enable the contractor achieve progress to meet the
targets. The measurements of work, passing of the bills shall not
be delayed by the OWNER in the interest of smooth progress of
works.
3. Retention amounts: The retention amounts kept by the
OWNER from the progressive bills may be released to the
contractor as per the contractual terms without delay, as this will
act as incentive for the contractor to finish the works.
4. Redemption of Bank Guarantees: The contractor will be
furnishing the Bank guarantee for 5 to 10% value of the contract
towards proper performance of the contract. The contractor shall
be cautious while signing the guarantee and avoid wordings
which enable the OWNER to get the BG redeemed “on first
demand” without referring the contractor.
5. Documentation for payments: The documents to be
presented for payment shall be as simplified as possible to
avoid delays in release of payments due to misunderstanding.
Export Credits:
Export credit agencies are generally set up or sponsored by the
government with the primary function of encouraging the export of
manufactured goods.
The criteria to be satisfied for obtaining support from export credit
agencies:
• Majority of equipment and services originate from the
agency country,
• Financial soundness and reputation of contracting
organization,
• Financial soundness and reputation of OWNER organization
and
• The category status (based on the GNP per capita inflation,
stability etc.) of the Owner’s country.
Commercial Loans:
Project Management
These are often linked to export credits.
Development Aid:
In the case of developing countries Asian Development Bank, European
Development Bank, World Bank etc. provide Funding for the approved
projects to the utilities with certain conditions. The Bank may pay
directly to the contractor against documents.
It is important to see that the payments towards the supplies
made and the erection works completed are received from the
OWNER promptly for meeting the expenditure incurred so that
the works will progress uninterrupted.

Project Management
CRASHING ANALYSIS
Thus crashing involves crashing the critical activities.

Crashing of the project time may be required when the Transmission
Lines are ready to get benefits from the project early. It involves
additional funds and men at appropriate time.
Time estimate in the Critical Path Method does not take into account
the uncertainties or probabilities. The time estimates are single time
estimates and no range of time duration is considered. Considering the
uncertainties the expected time for an activity can be worked out as
below.
Expected Time (Te) = (T0+4 Tml+Tp) / 6
Where T0=Optimistic time
Tml=Most likely time
Tp=Pessimistic time

Project Management
Standard deviation σ = (Tp- T0) /6

PROJECT REVIEW
The following schedules are also to be made for monitoring the works
1. Schedule for finalizing sub-contracts,
2. Cash inflow and cash outflow schedules,
3. Billing schedules,
4. Schedule of submission and approval by concerned
i) Drawings
ii) Field quality plans
iii) Documents
5. Schedule of receipt of equipment at site,

The process flow chart of various activities relating to the substation is

at Annexure – 4.
Project Management
The progress achieved against the programme shall be received and
noted on the Bar chart prepared for the specific project. The typical bar
chart for a 220 kV substation is at Annexure - 1.

Project Management
ADMINISTRATIVE WORKS
The project execution comprises the following important administrative works

i Finalizing contractual terms and conditions,
ii Arranging bank guarantees required,
iii Sub-contracting, obtaining manufacturing quality plans from
the suppliers and finalizing,
iv Inspection of equipment during manufacture and witnessing
tests before dispatch,
v Getting test reports for the equipment and material, obtaining
approvals from the customer and obtaining dispatch instructions from
the customer,
vi Documentation,
vii Resource mobilization,
viii Work supervision,
ix Coordination with consultant, customer, sub-contractors, and
project managers at site and
x Wages, housing and personnel matters.
Project Management
Documentation:
The project management group shall look after the documentation work
as it is the most important activity. Following are the important
documents.
• List of drawings of civil works
• List of tools and plant for erection
• List of material and equipment
• Substation single line drawing
• Detailed structural lay out drawing
• Plan showing the Cable trenches, earth mat, earth pits and
Foundations for structures
• Drawings and bills of material for the main structures and
equipment support structures
• Guaranteed technical particulars of equipment and materials
• Manuals for equipment erection and testing
• Field quality plans for civil and electrical works
• Standard specifications for all equipment, materials and works

Project Management
RECEIVING EQUIPMENT/MATERIALS AND STORAGE AT

SITE
The equipment and materials are generally transported to site by road

by lorries and tractor trailers. Special precautions are to be taken in
transporting heavy over dimensional consignments. Necessary prior
permits are to be taken from the road transport authorities for
transporting the following heavy and over dimensioned equipment.
 Transformer tanks
 Reactor tanks
 Air- core reactors
 400 kV bushings
 Diesel generator set
 Tanks for oil storage
 Cooling equipment
 Large welded structures etc
In case of galvanized steel structures, short simple members are
resistant to transit damage. Large welded structures are likely to be
bent during transit, unloading. These can be straightened easily at site.
A 100% bolted design is more resistant to transport damage than
welded designs or semi-bolted (ladder) designs.
Project Management
When transporting steel structures, these must be loaded in such a
way that white rust will not develop. This is best done by avoiding deck
loading and by using spacers to allow air circulation between the layers.
Unloading:
The following equipment is required at site for unloading the equipment/
materials from the truck or tractor trailer.
• Mobile crane
• Fork lifters
• Derrick crane
• Slings, pulley blocks
The unloading and storage shall be supervised carefully to avoid damages.
Inspection on Arrival at Site and Insurance Claims:
The packing cases are inspected for transit damage. In case of any
damage, the matter is reported to the supplier and insurance company.
The insurance claim is lodged. The surveyors of the insurance company
conduct survey and assess the extent of the transit damage.
Transport damages should be attended within one week of arrival at
site. It is advisable to decide in advance which insurance inspection
authority one has to report to.
Insurance policies are taken by Project Management Group from head
quarters from experienced insurance company. For substation contracts
“All Risk storage-cum-Erection Policy” is preferred. It covers entire “civil,
erection, commissioning” work up to handing over to customer. All the
equipment, civil works are covered. Equipment insurance claims are
identified as
• During Transport (Generally in separate transit policy)
• During Storage
• During Erection
• During Commissioning
Damaged items should be segregated and kept for insurance survey.
Packing case no., item no., date of arrival, transport truck no., details of
damages should be noted and kept for surveyors. Photographs of
damaged packages should be taken.
Storage:
Three categories of stores are necessary for substation equipment:
Outdoor Fenced Store:
The outdoor storage area should be above maximum flood level, and
free from damp, mud etc. The approached road from the main road and
to the substation should be firm and adequate. The necessary handling
equipment should be available.

Project Management
Indoor Closed Store:
Indoor storage building should have sufficiently large storage area and
sufficiently large doors on road side and substation side. It should be
well ventilated and well lighted. There should be proper watch and
ward. Transformer oil brought in tankers should be stored in specially
built tanks. The oil drums should be stored as per recommendations of
the supplier.
Storage room for instruments and special equipment should also be
planned.
Fire fighting arrangements must be adequate. Guidelines by insurance
company shall be followed.
INTERFACE BETWEEN CIVIL WORKS AND COORDINATION

BETWEEN VARIOUS ERECTION WORKS
The following activities have a close interaction between civil works and
erection works. Very close liaison between various groups is essential
from design to handing-over stages.
• Foundation drawings
• Cable trench drawings
• Wall openings for air conditioning work
• Piping through wall
• Illumination work
• Sound absorption techniques used
• Vibration control
• Earthing system
• Piping for Fire Fighting System etc.
There must be coordination between various works as mentioned below
so as to meet the target date of commissioning the substation.

Project Management
i) Foundations for main structures and equipment support structures
shall be completed in order to take up erection of structures.
ii) The transformer plinth shall be completed before the transformer
tank arrives at site so as to keep the transformer on the plinth directly.
iii) Temporary yard lighting must be done to facilitate erection works
during nights if necessary
iv) All the structural parts, bolts, nuts and washers for columns shall
be received before the other structural materials.
v) By the time the columns are erected, the booms must be available
