Tunnels




A pre-bid Schedule Feasibility Study was prepared which included developing a more efficient sequence/staging plan for this 4,600 ft rock tunnel.  Assistance was also provided in the development of the CPM scheduling provisions in the Contract.  After award of the first construction contract, the Contractor’s schedule and progress submittals were reviewed for Contract compliance.  Analysis of change orders and claims was also performed on behalf of the Owner.

High Speed Rail



An on-site Project Control Department was established in order to better manage disputes on this electrification project and deal with the EPC's problems.  This included instituting an Owner Project Progress Report allowing the Owner to better analyze progress and performance by the EPC, coordinate the Owner's track maintenance work with the EPC's efforts, and to integrate the Owner's controls and signaling modifications with the new signals being installed by the EPC.

Ports


Delays, design changes, and unforeseen conditions experienced by the Main Contractor were evaluated on behalf of the MC for its contract to repair and rehabilitate multiple berths at an existing harbor/port facility.  This included an assessment of a claim by one of the MC's largest subcontractors.  The Final Account for the Subcontractor was developed, and Expert Reports related to all subcontractor and MC claims were developed.  The matter settled without litigation.
