Construction of WA Fuel Storage Facility: Project Management Report

This project management report outlines the construction of a Western Australian fuel storage facility, addressing the renovation of existing oil tankers to enhance storage capacity and reduce environmental risks. The report details the project's goals, including the renovation of existing tankers and extending their lifespan. It includes a scope analysis with a scope statement emphasizing the use of project management principles for refurbishment, key deliverables such as renovated tankers and project documentation, and acceptance criteria focusing on alignment with client requirements, budget adherence, and quality. The project follows a waterfall model for its lifecycle, incorporating communication, planning, modeling, construction, and deployment phases. Monitoring and control activities are crucial, utilizing progress analysis and checklists. Success is measured by time, cost, and quality, ensuring the renovated facility meets operational and developmental goals. Desklib provides similar solved assignments for students.

2PROJECT MANAGEMENT REPORT
1. Project Goals
The project of Oil Tanker Storage development would help in easing the flow of
unleaded petrol and the access to its storage. The storage facility development for the Western
Australia Fuel Organization would help in forming the development of the improved services
and operation development. The goals of the project for oil tanker development are,
Renovation of existing tankers: The project of oil tanker development would help in
easing the renovation of the oil tankers for Western Australia. The renovation would help in
forming the development of the operations and alignment of the supportive management
operations (Kerzner and Kerzner 2017). The renovation of the existing tankers include addition
of 4, 7, and 6 steel patches to respective 3 oil tankers, clearing of the tankers and repainting
them, and main valve replacement of the third tanker with 7 million litre storage.
Increment of the life of tankers: The renovation work is carried on so that the overall life
of the tankers of Western Australia Fuel Storage would be increased. The lifeline of the tankers
is dependent on the condition of the oil tankers in terms of material, piping condition, and
structure (Sears et al. 2015). The renovation would help in restrengthening of the oil tankers so
that it can work for 5-10 more years without any problem.
2. Project Scope Analysis
2.1 Scope Statement
The project scope statement for Oil Tanker Renovation Project is-

3PROJECT MANAGEMENT REPORT
“The use of project management principles for implementing the renovation works that
are helpful for the refurbishment of the existing oil tankers and development of the storage
facility is the primary goal of the project.”
The scope statement had shown that the project is mainly focusing on the development of
the operations and renovating the project in terms of the project management principles
(Harrison and Lock 2017). The scope statement of the project had highlighted the following
items that would be included in the project,
Documents: The development of the documents like charter, initiation, plan, and final
reports are the documents required for the completion of the project. These documentation would
help in forming the final project deliverable.
Renovation Works: The additions of steel patches, main valve development for third
tanker with 7 million litres storage, and cleaning and repainting of the oil tankers are the
renovation works required in the project. The renovation of the oil tankers are the in scope items
of the project.
2.2 Steps for Project Scope Determination
The project scope determination is helpful for forming the deployment of the successful
integration of the activities and formation of the renovation works. The steps of scope
determination are explained in the table below,

requirements and the development of the operations for the project of oil
tanker development. It would form the identification of the scope
development operations.
2 Determination The determination of the scope is based on the realization of the
operations and management of the activities for the development of the
operations. The determination phase would involve the alignment of the
operations and formation of the scope.
3 Prioritization The factors of project would be prioritized and aligned with the
operations of the project. The development of the operations would allow
the listing of the operations and formation of the successive operations.
4 Finalize The finalizing of the scope would be based on the final deliverable of the
project.
2.3 Importance of the Stakeholders of the Project
The project of Oil Tanker Renovation would be helpful for overcoming the shortage of
the tanker development and implementing sufficient operational development. The various
stakeholders of the project were board members of Western Australia Fuel Board, investors,
Project manager, project team members, and contractors (Kerzner 2017). Each of them has
specific importance for the development of the final project deliverable that has been explained
below,
Steering Committee: The project steering committee consisting of the project
stakeholders would be helpful for the management of the operations and development of the

5PROJECT MANAGEMENT REPORT
successive project decisions. The steering committee would involve the deployment of the
effective decisions and alignment of the operations for forming the influential development of
the operations (Demirkesen and Ozorhon 2017). The board members of the Western Australia
and investors in the project are the steering committee members of the project.
Managerial Department: The managerial department of the project is responsible for
taking care of the activities of the project and manage the completion of the project successfully.
The managerial department involves the alignment of the operations so that effective alignment
of the operations can be carried forward (Walker 2015). The project managers, contractors and
other managers of the project form the managerial department of the project.
2.4 Key Deliverables
The key deliverables of the project include the renovated oil tankers, improved access,
project plan, and final documentation. The additions of steel patches, main valve development
for third tanker with 7 million litres storage, and cleaning and repainting of the oil tankers are the
renovation works required in the project. As stated by Walker (2015), the development of the
documents like charter, initiation, plan, and final reports are the documents required for the
completion of the project. These documentation would help in forming the final project
deliverable. The deliverables of the project would also include the implication of the project
management principles and operations.
2.5 Acceptance Criteria
The final project deliverable has the following acceptance criteria,
a) Renovation of oil tankers must be done in alignment to the client’s requirements

6PROJECT MANAGEMENT REPORT
b) Project must be completed in the estimated time and budget
c) Quality of the final deliverable must align with the expectations of the client
3. Project Overview
3.1 Project Lifecycle
Figure 1: Waterfall Model of Project
(Source: Hazır 2015, pp-814)
The project of Oil Tanker Development is responsible for the following of the waterfall
model for project lifecycle as the waterfall methodology would allow the formation of the step
by step renovation of the oil tankers. According to Kramer (2018), the waterfall methodology
would involve the communication, planning, modelling, construction, and deployment phases for
the project lifecycle. The completion of the phases would end in forming the final project
deliverable.

3.2 Monitor and Control Project Activities
The project of oil tanker renovation would be based on the construction project principles
and the monitoring and controlling of the project would be crucial factor for the project. The
progress and analysis would be helpful for the project monitoring (Kshirsagar and Konnur 2017).
The checklist developed would align with the operations of the project and it would help in
monitoring the progress of the project. The control strategy implementation is formed with the
help of scope analysis. The control strategy would help in ensuring that the oil tanker developed
is aligned successfully with the project.

3.3 Success Criteria of the Project

8PROJECT MANAGEMENT REPORT
The three factors of time, cost, and quality would act as the success criteria for the project
of oil tanker renovation. The renovation of the oil tanker is largely dependent on the
development of the project activities. The renovation of the oil tankers are the in scope items of
the project. The improvement of the access to the oil storage facility would help in enabling the
formation of the sufficient development model.
