Strategies for Reducing Cement in Concrete Construction Projects

This report examines the critical need for reducing cement usage in concrete construction projects. It begins by outlining the project's aims and objectives, focusing on analyzing methods to minimize cement consumption and improve project management strategies. The report then delves into the application of project management tools such as PERT charts, Gantt charts, and the Critical Path Method (CPM) to streamline construction processes. It highlights the importance of setting a clear project scope and includes a section on project stages, including project introduction and scope definition. The report concludes with a recommendation for providing training in risk management to address the lack of theoretical knowledge among project site engineers, emphasizing the role of the project manager in implementing these improvements. The report also provides references to support the findings and recommendations.

Reducing the use of cement in concrete
constructions.

Aim
 To critically analyse for reducing the use of cement in concrete constructions.

Objective
 To analyse that how reduce the use of cement in concrete construction project, which are
shared and managed in project.
 To develop the better recommendation, which always contribute to more effective
strategies for managing the concrete construction projects.

PERT chart (Project evaluation and review technique)
 It is based on the evaluation technique or method that is mainly used for identifying the
certain time intervals. It takes place to finish the particular task or activity Another way, it
can be defined as system that help for creating a proper scheduling and coordination of all
task throughout construction project.

Cont.

Gantt chart

Cont.
 It is a type of chart that mainly illustrate a project schedule, design for representing the
dependency relationship between various activities as well as schedule status. It is known
as project management tool or platform for assisting the planning, scheduling the current
project of different sizes, although it is particularly useful for simplifying the concrete
constructions project in proper manner.

CPM (Critical Path method)
 It is one of most commonly used technique that are generally used within the concrete
constructions project. It may include the different steps for planning the processes that
defines critical as well as non-critical tasks. CPM is ideally appropriate suited to project
which consisting of various activities, in order to interact with complex manner

Cont.

Project stages
 Project introduction: In this process, it is mainly focused on examine the topic of project that
involved “aim” and “Objective”. This will help for examining the current situation of site operation
while implementing the risk management. It is initial step that help for gathering lot of information
related the project.
 Setting project scope: It is another important step that help for identifying the project scope. In order
to estimate the overall budget of project. Furthermore, it may use the time-duration which requires
for performing the task in step by step manner. In this way, it is an essential for setting the project
scope.

Recommendation
 There are various project site engineer identified the lack of theoretical knowledge. It
would be required to suggest the training in risk management for concrete Construction
project. Training is expected to improve the own knowledge of project. It provide the
better safeguarding the project through risk management approach. It has recommended,
directing to “Sigma company” management because project manager is responsible for
staff member. The construction project needs to organise the better risk management but
require to increase the level of awareness.
