Comprehensive Flyover Construction Project Charter in Beijing

The assignment involves creating a project charter for constructing a flyover in China to improve traffic between Beijing and Xi'an. The project is divided into four main phases: Planning, Design, Construction, and Post-Construction. Each phase includes specific activities, deliverables, and milestones. Risk management strategies are outlined, identifying potential risks such as delays, budget overruns, weather conditions, safety concerns, resource shortages, design flaws, regulatory compliance issues, political factors, communication barriers, and equipment failures. A detailed stakeholder analysis identifies internal and external stakeholders, including site engineers, project managers, civil engineers, laborers, suppliers, citizens of China, donors, and the government. The project emphasizes effective team principles, including communication, budget adherence, and resource utilization. The financial allocation for this USD 300,000 project is outlined alongside a comprehensive bibliography citing relevant sources in construction project management.

FLYOVER CONSTRUCTION (PROJECT MANAGEMENT)
1. Introduction
In this modern world of technology, traffic congestions are one of the crucial factors
for the people of China and needs to be eliminated for the proper travelling. This project
proposal aims at the objectives related to the delivery of the flyover construction on the
“Road Network in Ulaanbaata” in China by the China State Construction Engineering. This
flyover will be helpful in reducing the traffic congestions and increase the mobility in that
area.
The purpose of this report is to present a project charter and cover all the objectives
related to the flyover protection with a practical example. This project charter consists of
objectives related to the project, schedule and milestones of the activities involved in the
whole project, risk management that will cover the identified risks based on the past
experience, and stakeholder analysis.
2. Project charter
2.1 Objectives of the project

successful project with maximum efficiency. This will be a big project and hence the
organization might be able to sustain its competitive position in the market.
2.3 Scope of the project
It can be subdivided into the followings:
In-scope: Following are the in-scope of the project:
 Connecting two roads for the efficient flow of the traffic
 Footpath construction for the citizens travelling on foot
 Eliminate the traffic congestions
 Using best material for the project
 Complete the project within the planned budget and schedule
Out- Scope: Following are the out- scope of the project:
 Scope creep will not be considered as the deliverable
 Training of the stakeholders directly involved in the project
 Details of the suppliers and the donors has not been introduced
 Assumptions are made that project will go on according to the planning
2.4 Business case
Flyover will be of length 3 km (3000 metres) of 15 degree slope and will be having a
turn of 25 degree with a slope of 13 degree. It is identified that the flyover that was proposed
to be constructed consists of 25 degree slope and it is of length 500 meters. It is estimated
that the entire project of flyover construction will be completed in 1 year (Roads and
Maritime Services 2017). In addition to this, proper central lightening arrangement was also
present on the flyover bridge.

R. 1 Increment in the budget: There are
many causes of the increase in budget
such as natural disaster or money spent
for the contingencies. This will
ultimately affect the whole project.
M H M Budget Planning should be
made considering all the
factors that might affect
the project. Contingency
Plan should be saved up to
10 percent of the actual
budget of the project.
R. 2 Time Delay: Many unexpected events
might occur during the execution of
the project that might affect the
scheduling of the project such as: no
resources during winter season,
terrorist attacks, fund withdrawals and
many more.
H VH H Leadership should be

resource availability and
should keep backup plan
for the unavailability’s of
the staffs or the resources.
R. 4 Lack in Funding: Donors might fall
back after committing to serve the
project with donations.
VL H L Proper documentation
should be arranged at the
very first stage of the

individuals should be
taken on each paper.
R. 5 Natural disaster: Many examples of
the real world that can explain the
severity of the damage that could be
caused by such unwanted events.
These events could affect the budget
and schedule of the project.
VL VH M These are unpredictable
and unwanted events and
contingency plan should
cover these damages.
R. 6 Improper managerial responsibilities:
Managers might not be able control
and motivate the employees to the
respective goal of the organization.
