PROJECT EXPERIENCE
On behalf of an owner, analyzed a $1.7 million claim for schedule delays and disruptions during the construction of two wastewater treatment plants and barometric condenser conversions at an oil processing unit. Prepared detailed CPM schedule analyses and expert reports. The dispute was successfully resolved prior to the arbitration.
On behalf of a bank that provided project funding, analyzed operating performance problems and cost overruns on a cattle manure-fueled power plant and several agricultural waste-fueled power plants.
Prepared a contractor’s baseline schedule and schedule updates for the construction of a $5 million church and related site work.
On behalf of an owner, provided technical support for a claim against the EPC firm on a fast-track refinery project in the western United States. Issues involved late and deficient engineering, design development and scope increases, loss of construction labor productivity, and mismanagement of subcontractors and costs.
On behalf of a mechanical contractor, prepared a $1 million claim involving the installation of new low NOx and boiler reheater facilities on a power plant project.
On behalf of an owner, analyzed contractual responsibilities for cost overruns and delays on the fabrication of components of an offshore drilling rig.
On behalf of a contractor, analyzed damages to rebut a $52 million claim from the owner on a large wastewater tunnel. Audited and reconciled $166 million in actual costs versus an after the fact estimate of $114 million.
On behalf of an EPC contractor, analyzed change order, delay, and loss of productivity claims on a linear alpha olefin project.
Provided dispute resolution services for a general contractor in defense of $2.5 million in assessed liquidated damages by the owner of a power plant. Evaluated contemporaneous project records to identify project impacts. Identified and quantified critical path delays and lost productivity impacts caused by the late delivery of equipment and materials, late responses to RFIs, and last-minute changes by the owner’s turbine/generator supplier on a new power plant project. Used retrospective CPM schedule delay analysis methodology to demonstrate delays caused by the identified impacts. CPM schedule delay analysis successfully supported the general contractor’s defense against the owner’s assessment of liquidated damages against the general contractor. The general contractor and owner ultimately reached a negotiated settlement.
Prepared CPM fragnets depicting schedule delays. Analyzed productivity losses on a natural gas liquefaction project.
