Oil and Gas Project Management

Due to environmental, financial and legislative pressures, projects in the oil and gas industry face serious challenges. Oil and Gas production has also become increasingly complex and technologically demanding due to schedules and budgets being tight, safety risk factors and every project faces concerns regarding publicity impacts.

A Guide to Risk Assessment in Construction

Construction sites have inherent risks, no matter whether it is a multi-story building or a house renovation. Too often a realized risk can cause personal injury. Or, a serious risk not well managed can wipe out a whole company. Construction risk assessment and management is essential to successfully completing each building project.

Defining risk

A risk is an event that may or may not happen. Risk is the uncertainty of an outcome that can cause construction project issues. No matter what the project, there is a certain amount of unavoidable risk. Risks are not hazards but they are events. Risks can refer to behavior, processes and procedures, and events. You need to decide what level of risk is acceptable in terms of value to the business.

Risks can include events that have:

• only negative variances or results – referred to the as pure risk
• both negative and positive variances (eg. where there is a risk of loss or gain) – referred to as speculative risk
• only positive variances and the possibility of gain – these may not always be identified as risks.

Construction is a risky business. It is not possible to avoid all risks. Instead, you must meet relevant legislation to manage, monitor, minimize and mitigate risks. For this, you need easy to follow processes that help your organization and staff make the right decisions. So, you must complete a risk assessment to calculate the risks.

Managing construction risks 

Managing risks is an important element of all construction projects. It involves completing a risk assessment of all work sites. It is important to assign each risk to the right people to take responsibility. There must be good processes and procedures in place to track and report on major risks.

here are four main aspects to managing construction risks:

Infrastructure Project Management Solutions



RaptorPM is the leader in scalable project management solutions for infrastructure, engineering and construction projects. Our suite of solutions can be applied across multiple teams and locations, enabling full collaboration between all project members and offering instant, always-on real-time project data that can be easily understood for prioritizing actions. 







Project information and how a project manager uses it is critical. Visibility is all empowering to any project team. Combine the two put and a company has a winning formula for successful infrastructure project management. Visibility is also simplicity, to understand, to communicate, to collaborate across the many project strands. This leads to outcomes which takes a complex body of work so it becomes clear, transparent, logical and far more easily controlled. Project stages get completed when they are planned and scheduled, monitored and reported.

Tips on Occupational Safety and Health Administration

Tips on Occupational Safety and Health Administration

Construction
safety is everyone’s responsibility. The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) has numerous regulations to assist residential
construction employers and employees in providing safe and healthful
workplaces. So, the onus is on all employers to take proactive steps to
assess risks to protect their workers. Employers have to plan and put in
place an occupational safety and health plan to prevent accidents on
work sites.

Construction work is a high-risk business, so risk assessments and safety statements keep safety at work uppermost in everyone’s mind. To highlight this point, out of 4,379 worker fatalities in private industry  for calendar year 2015, 937 or 21.4% were in construction, that is, one in five worker deaths last year were in construction. The leading causes of private sector worker deaths (excluding highway collisions) in the construction industry were falls, followed by struck by object, electrocution, and caught-in/between. These "Fatal Four" were responsible for more than half (64.2%) the construction worker deaths in 2015. By focusing on risk assessment, if construction companies eliminated these Fatal Four, it would save 602 workers' lives in America every year.

Project Scheduling for AEC Industries

Project Scheduling for AEC Industries

Construction project management is the discipline of planning, organizing, scheduling, leading and controlling the work of others and of using all available business resources to reach the stated goals within a given time frame.

​

It also includes the managing and deployment of the resources available in the least possible time for the successful completion of the construction project. In construction project management, ‘Men’, ‘materials’, ‘machinery’ and ‘money’ are deemed to be resources.

Construction Task and Project Tracking

Construction Task and Project Tracking

RaptorPM understands that today's construction environment means tighter budgets and regulations can result in big demands on construction companies, project managers and workers. Using a project management tracking and delivery software solution will help complete any size construction project.

Construction project management is very focused, results oriented discipline which focuses on areas such as a projects time, risk factors, scope and budget constraints. With tighter margins and even penalty clauses it has become even more important to get all tasks done correctly the first time. This demands that the construction project manager has a 24/7 overview of all the key data, deadlines and milestones while the project is in progress. But there are even more demands, as a carefully constructed project analysis and detailed planning activity is vital in ensuring delivery within the project definition.
