The power plant has many associate clients: Iran Power Development Company (IPDC) and
Ghods Niroo Consulting Engineers Company as the client consultant. The main contractor of the
power plant is MAPNA Power Plant Construction and Development Company (MD-1). The
power station had a capacity of 230 kV. All engineering, procurement and construction (EPC)
works for the power plant is handled by MD1. The power plant makes use of oil and oil gas for
the production of power.

CE 3.2.2 Objectives developed for the project
For the completion of this project in accordance to the requirements of the clients, I had

 To prepare a proposal for the schedule of the work.
 To make use of standard mode of coding, work break down structure and analysis for
the development of the project progress report.
 To work on the planning scheduling and reporting of the status of the work that is
being done from the initiation to the completion of each of the task.
 To produce a plan for the mitigation of any kind of risk that might occur during the
progress of the project.
 To find out proper strategies and solution for the overcoming of road blocks and
delays.
CE 3.2.3 My area of work
I was asked to help the power plant with my planning and project control skills as a
control engineer for the project. With the help of experience in the field of large projects I was
able to easily manage the work that was provided to me. I was able to complete the project
within the requested deadline and also within the budget of the client. My main objective was to
prepare engineering, procurement and construction level 3 schedule. This was to be implemented
in to the combined cycle power plant industries. Apart from this I had used my writing skills to
work on the preparation of the project progress plan for the project. The progress report was then
shared with the management and the supervisors of the project.
