Delay due to increase in rebar size and qty

T
TII WS 👤 Member for 16 years 4 months

Hi,

Can I have advice on the impact to installation for increase in rebar density? Can I argue that it will increase in construction time?

Also kindly advice if I can use productivity of rebar which is tonnes/day to fight for EOT if the overall weight of rebar increase?

Seem like I can ask for more time if I use productivity of rebar tonnes/day as measure of time impact on schedule rather than rebar density. Although I feel it sound unconvincing

Please let me know your opinon on this issue

Creating TIA

M

Hi Every one,

Quick question. I have received a Time Impact Analysis from the Contractor who has used Baseline Schedule to show the impact of a delay which he thinks has been caused by the Owner. However, the project schedule has already gone through two (2) updates and Contractor has made a number of sequencing (logic) changes which were not contested (was accepted) by us. Now the question is should'nt the Contractor be using the latest update to show impact of the Owner activity delay as the plan has changed and agreed upon?

Delay in our own activity then further delay not caused by us

Suppose we will do a portion of a superstructure and we will start from excavating the existing foundation done by others. We are already in delay in doing this portion of the superstructure and beacuse of that it became critical. After excavating we found that the foundation does not have the correct setting out and beacuse of that the structural design team need to do a re-design of the superstructure. Remember that we are already in delay but because of this another delay event we will further be delayed. Can we claim an EOT for that?

Material held up in port, Is contractor eligible for EOT

Dear all

I have received an EOT request from one of my contractor due to delay in delivery of material due to heavy traffic in duabi jabal ali port.

All materil has been now delivered at site which resulted 30 day in project completion. The document shows that contractor has placed LPO in time and loaded in the vessal also in time (as per schedule), delay occured in transit.

Is this comes under force majure? can I recommend to my client to grant EOT to the contractor. Your expert advice is required. (BTW no concurrent delay or no other bottle necks from client side)

Modified Claims Baseline

Hi All

Seconded to work on a claim - so I do not know the full history etc., nor work for the client - 2 days ago. 

Original contractors baseline was very poor - open ends, incorrect logic, SF instead of FS etc. So claims specialist company employed by the contractor who rewrote the baseline adding links, removing links, changing calendar etc., and used Time Impact Analysis to establish the delay. Using this revised programme, after every event, they added the delay and rescheduled then added the next lot of progress and the next event and repeated.
