In considering the delivery of major infrastructure projects, two of the vital issues to be addressed are meeting schedule requirements and the consequences of transferring risks from the public sector to the private sector. On major public infrastructure projects, the public sector’s scheduling requirements may be challenging to many private contractors who struggle to respond to the scheduling specification. The second major issue is the underpricing of risks and ineffective planning for the consequences of adverse risks that materialize. NetPoint has proven to be an effective tool to address the private partner’s scheduling requirements, manage high-level schedules, identify issues promptly, and contribute to reducing claims. NetPoint can also assist in the risk planning process and in evaluating the impacts, in real-time, of various risk scenarios. Jeffrey Plant draws from his experience on over fifteen major infrastructure projects and suggests a new paradigm for schedule and risk management on major infrastructure projects.
