Failures: how to avoid them

Article Abstract:

The causes of failure related to civil and environmental engineering have been identified and have been attributed to four main stakeholders, namely, senior management, project management, technical staff and clients or their agents. One contributing cause is not enough to cause a failure which is usually generated by as much as two to three causes. The fault tree construction is seen as a major step in reducing the possibility of failure. Two actual failure projects demonstrate the effectiveness of the fault tree process.

Weighing the options

Article Abstract:

Prudent risk management and allocation is needed on any construction project. The risks involved vary and may range from economic to market conditions, governmental regulations and environmental requirements. The owner allocates the risk among various members of the project team by selecting who will design and build the project. The project delivery method to be chosen will determine the relationships and risk allocation on the construction project.
