Fossil power plant schedule compression tactics

In this age of increasing demand for electricity and increasing competition from individual power producers, compressed schedule techniques provides a solution to the need for new generating capacity by shortening the project duration of building new utility power plants. Schedule compression techniques are technical or managerial strategies to reduce project durations. Adding to the Construction Industry Institute study, which described 94 methods of schedule compression, are critical success tactics that were cited as important by senior managers from independent power producers, major vendors, and selected contractors, to the success in completing projects in a reduced amount of time. The main tactics are: Owner Organization Management, Engineering and Design Phase, Schedule Planning and Control, Contracts/Specifications/Procurement, Field Craft Management, and System Turnover. Using these tactics can be a significant in reducing project durations.
