BSC109C Industrial Experience: Elizabeth Quay Project Report

This industrial experience report focuses on the Elizabeth Quay project, a mixed-use waterfront development in Perth. It covers various aspects of project management, including project definition, scope management, work breakdown structure (WBS), Gantt chart, project integration management (PIM) plan, investment risk management plan, relevant standards and laws, key performance indicators (KPIs), basis of design (BOD), accompanying documentation, and program evaluation and review technique (PERT). The report highlights Wood and Grieve Engineers' involvement in the project, detailing their engineering services and the construction phases undertaken by Georgiou Group. It further elaborates on the project's scope, including pile load testing, foundation construction, and sheet pile requirements, emphasizing its role as a major urban development project with residential, commercial, and recreational components. The report also includes a detailed WBS with budget allocations, a Gantt chart outlining project tasks and timelines, and a PIM plan covering project initiation, planning, execution, monitoring, and closure. Additionally, an investment risk management plan identifies potential risks and mitigation strategies, while KPIs are defined to track project progress and success.

Project details
Project definition
This project management report identifies a specific engineering project, that is core
to the chosen company Wood and grieve engineer’s operations. This report is an initial
project management plan that will be approved by the project executive before the final
commence of the project. The project that has been nominated for this plan is Elizabeth
Quay. The waterfront development project is a mixed use development project, located in the
north shore of Perth water and named in the honour of the second queen Elizabeth II. This
project is about design and construction of an artificial inlet including nine different building
sites.
In addition to this, the completed project facilities are projected to involve
approximately 1700 residential apartments along with a retail space and office space of
respectively 39000 square meter and 150,000 square meters. This project is one of the most
awaited projects as it reconnects the Perth City Center along with the Swan River. Wood and
grieve engineer’s (WGE), is engaged via LandCrop in the year of 2007 for providing
engineering services for the project in the very initial feasibility phase. Throughout the
project development period the engineering service provider company will offer hydraulic,
electrical, underground power, mechanical, civil and structural services. Georgiou Group has
constructed the forward development stages of the project that involve major infrastructure to
the project owners that include:
 It offers twin 2.25 meter diameter of a main drainage relocation system
 It also offers a new western power high voltage city power supply that access
the chamber and also conduit the system

 A 800 to 400 mm diameter of water mains along with an adjustment to sewer
the mains and utility services
Scope management
The scopes of the Elizabeth Quay project are as follows:
 A static pile load testing will be conducted to imitate a bridge pile
 For construction of the Kisok 4, Hummerston Kisok, Kisok 6 and pedestrian
bridge CFA pile foundation and conventional foundations are assigned. In the
proposed Transperth Ferry terminal location for the construction of the canopy
the conventional pile foundations are required
 In order to enable the proposed water feature construction temporary sheet pile
is required by the assigned project manager and construction leads
 For 10% of the foundation piles a pile integrity testing will also be conducted
under the supervision of the project manager and steering committee members
The Elizabeth Quay project is identified as a major urban development project in
Perth which is expected to provide major additional inner city, residential, commercial office
space and hotels. The area undertaken for the successful construction of the project is 10
hectors of prime land in the riverfront. In addition to this it also includes a complete
construction of roads, park, promenades, and inlets along with a connecting bridge. Shops,
café, entertainment venues and restaurants will be surrounding the entire inlet.

3. Project Integration Management (PIM) plan
The Design is not the ultimate thing that helps the project managers to obtain
commercial growth and long term competitive success. The thoughts and design those are
being planned needs to be integrated and then implemented together for project success. In
other words, the success and failure of any project is dependent on the project integration
management plan that has been developed by the project steering committee members.
The project integration management phases are comprises of 5 phases- project
initiation, project planning, project execution, project monitoring and control and project
closure. Throughout the project development period the project manager and the steering
committee members are required to follow the steps periodically. During the implementation
of the Elizabeth Quay project if any of the development phase is missed then it will hamper
the expected project outcomes and expectation of the clients. For Elizabeth Quay project the
developed project integration management plan (PIM) is as follows:
Project initiation: Before initiating the project the project manager should develop
the project charter to formally authorize the project from the Australian Government. The
charter demonstrates the project goals and the desired project deliverables as well. It
identifies the project sponsors and supplies who will be involved in the development process.
In Elizabeth Quay project the construction responsibility will be taken by Wood and grieve
engineer’s (WGE).
Project planning phase: The project planning phase identifies the master project plan
including the project schedule, resources, scope, stakeholders and time of the project. As the
plan is prepared the first responsibility of the project manager becomes to complete the
project within the estimated budget, time and resources. Baseline is needed to be used by the
project manager during the project progress period to measure the cost and schedule variance.

7ELIZABETH QUAY PROJECT
Project execution phase: In this phase the design that has been developed is
implemented by the contractors and construction heads. The waterfront development project
will construct residential areas, hotels, office building, parks, hospital and a connecting
bridge in Perth also.
Monitoring and controlling: Throughout the project development period, control
and monitoring are needed to track the current status of the project and make sure that the
project is governing towards the expectation of the owner and consumers as well. If it is
tracked that the project progress is not going well and required further focus then respective
change management plan will be implemented.
Project closure: The project closes with a signoff. The project closure measures and
evaluates the project objectives and actual outcomes. Based on that, a maintenance plan is
also developed by the project managers and approved from the government.
