Campaign schedule with a computed critical path. The binding chain runs through the data, not the vessel: demobilisation carries nine weeks of float, processing none. At the data date actual progress sits 9.6 points below plan. Illustrative dataset.

What it covers

We take the project manager role or work alongside yours, with the same discipline on schedule, cost, interfaces and risk.

  • 01Project managementProject set-up, execution plan, team organisation, contract management and the relationship with the contractor.
  • 02Project controlsSchedule, physical progress, cost control, management of variations and claims, forecast to completion.
  • 03Interface managementCoordination between survey, geotechnics, engineering, authorities, port operators and other contractors working the same area.
  • 04Risk managementA live risk register, not a decorative one: identification, quantification, mitigation actions with an owner and a due date.
  • 05ReportingDaily and weekly reports, progress dashboards, communication to management, partners and lenders.
