Underlying any construction project, inherent risks exist.
For underground transmission projects, risks can range from subsurface conditions to existing utilities to interface points and more.
What can an organisation do to mitigate these risks throughout the project life? Risk mitigation can occur through multiple avenues including site investigations, contracting strategies, design and even construction.
This presentation will discuss risks to typical underground transmission projects and how those risks can be managed during various stages of project delivery.
Additionally, the presentation will explore unique risks to subsea cable projects and how engineer-procure-construct (EPC) project delivery for underground transmission projects can be a beneficial project approach.
