1. Introduction
The SP Group Company operates as a corporatized entity as part of the previous
electricity and gas department of the Public Utilities Board. The company specializes in
provision and transmission of electricity and gas. Furthermore, it also specialise in
distribution services as well as market support services to more than a million people living
in Singapore. The company ranks as one of the largest corporations that operate in Singapore
(Singapore Power Limited, SWOT Analysis, 2014). The company obtained its first
incorporation to start operating as a commercial entity in October 1995 as Singapore Power
and Gas.
The Transmission Cable Tunned project has seen SP Group operate Singapore’s grid
network. It now ensures that more than 1.3 million residential, commercial, and industrial
customers get connected to a reliable electricity transmission and distribution system
(Singapore Power closes tunnels loan, 2012). The demand for power supply has been on an
increase following the recent rapid growth and urbanization efforts of conducted in Singapore
economy. Therefore, to ensure that the company meets the expected future demand,
management are setting up a transmission cable tunnel project as part of its infrastructural
project that will see SP continue to offer reliable and secure network. The continued
construction efforts of the transmission cable tunnels forms part of the company long-term
solution of responding to future power production and transmission. The project demands
that the company continue to install and replace all the underground cables in order to meet
the ever-increasing market demand. SP Group initiated the cable project in 2013 and
expected to end in 2018. A number

Just in the same way that that highway travellers are able to view the far they have
come from by looking at the mile markers along the road markings, project teams also rely on

milestones in order to measure the level of progress in achieving the milestone. Ravinder and
Kollikkathara (2017) define milestones as important tool that people use when they want to
communicate the status of the internal as well as the external stakeholders. Podean, Benta and
Mirceana (2010) reiterate that one of the defining aspects of a project is the fixed time they
take in terms of few weeks to several years. Therefore, project managers rely on milestones
to assist them in tracking of progress along the way and ensuring that the project is meeting
all the key deliverables as indicated in the timeline. As part of my project to focus on SP
cable tunnel project in Singapore for the last 4 years, I have made a number key milestone in
my project.
2.1. My project Approval
While it might not be common among the milestones of projects, the first milestone
that I have managed to undertake in the course of my project is gaining an initial approval. I
did this to allow me move forward. For instance, the milestone was in the form of gaining an
approval from my module tutor. For any project to achieve the propriety, every study must
under-go an approval process. My approval process involved accomplishing several
mechanics through the correct completion of all the requisite administrative documents.
2.2. Identifying and approaching a host client/placement
I received several names of some organizations that have assisted students in the past.
Besides, I succeeded in contacting different organizations before receiving allocation of my
position. For example, I considered it appropriate to canvas with several large companies
through telephone. I also considered researching the companies in Singapore that I wished to
approach to understand my sector that could be of my personal interest. Besides, I understood
that the telephone could not make me express all my objectives. I wrote to the company
management explaining the timeline and the express enthusiasm to research the company. In
my letter, I ensured that I include all the contact addresses and the telephone number.
