Role of risk management in construction
Weather Conditions
Identification of different conditions
Heat Exhaustion
Rain
Lightning
Ice or snow
Analyse
Estimate the delay in project based on the impact
Anticipate weather conditions based on previous data
Quantify the degree of harm
Assesment
Work should be halted if
If temperature is >104 degree farenheit
If rainfall is > 10mm
If cloud to ground lightning is observed
If snowfall is very dense and can cause frost bites
Control
Heat Exhaustion
Cracks in concrete
Dizziness
Rain
Effects Concrete during curing stages
Surface becomes slippery
Lightning
Death of workforce
Electrocution
Ice/ Snow
Slippery surfaces
Decrease in visibility
Monitor
Rescheduling the activities (e.g. while concrete casting)
Construction of temporary working platforms
Usage of PPE to ensure safety
Close up the buildings before it rains
Effective curing during extreme heat conditions
Wind
Assesment
Wind speeds above 36 kmph effects different sets of construction operations
Control
Flying of debris or small particles
use of safety goggles or eye wear
Effects tower crane operations
Stop lifting operations
Objects falling from elevated heights
Establish safety barriers around incomplete work
Adequate fall prevention methods
Collapse of scaffolding
checks to make sure that the material resists the wind
Monitor
Constantly monitor wind speeds using anemometer
Construction litigations
Identifcation and assesment
Contractual problems
Breach of contract
Conflicting terms
Dispute in payments
Design errors
Not following specifictions
Breaching legal codes
Varying site conditions
Failure to investigate site thoroughly
Resisting to disclose important information about site conditions
Flaws in delivered construction project
Poor management
Miscommunication
False interpretations of drawings
Lacking thorough supervision
Control and monitoring
Timely delivery of project
Sticking to contract policies
Forming dispute resolution boards
Owner should disclose all the important information
Follow government rules & policies
Unexpected ground/soil conditions
Identify and assess
Rise in ground water table
Improper examining forces to change the design
Unexpected utilities
Improper study of site drawings
For e.g. Pipelines beneath the soil which can effect foundation drawings
Rocks beneath the soil
Increase in cost due to breaking and dumping of rocks
Delay in excavation
Contract document should be revised
Calculation of load bearing capacity of the soil
Faulty calculation of load bearing capacity can lead to collapse of building
Control and monitor
Investigate the history and the blue prints of the site
Hiring of an experienced geo technical engineer to calculate load bearing capacity
The water table should be assessed every now and then
Thorough investigation of soil conditions deep down
