Hot Tubbing

M
Mike Testro 👤 Member for 20 years 5 months

Hi All

In Arbitration "Hot Tubbing" is when expert witnesses from both sides sit at the central table and are questioned directly by the tribunal.

I know because it happened to me for the first time last week in Dubai.

The experience was not so daunting because the same process is used all the time in Adjudication hearings.

Best regards

Substantial Completion Issues

D
D Artagnan 👤 Member for 17 years 8 months

Our project is actually delayed and it's due to the client. The client acknowledges the delay (for a lot of reasons), thus agreed to give the contractor a time extension (Time B). However, the developer where the client has a contract with to finish the project on (Time A) is not willing to give the time extension to our client. Our client cannot do anything but pay the LD from Time A to Time B.

Delay Analysis using Impacted As Planned Method

Hi,

If you can, please give me some advice regarding this Delay Analysis Problem.  I used “Impacted As Planned” method to analyses delays.

For the very first delay Event, I just took the Baseline & Impact the Delay into that. Now, my Problem is for the Next Delay event, should I use the Baseline or Already Impacted Programme to demonstrate the Delay Analysis.

Thank You

Delete or Not to Delete Activities in P6

Have a question on deleting activities from P6 after those activities have been baselined, or multiple baselines.

Once an activity is baselined, or is baselined multiple times for variance analysis, on a bi-weekly basis, and this activity is no longer needed should it just be deleted, and possibly noted outside of the schedule. Or should it be left in the schedule and taken to complete, with zero duration, links broken and noted as to when and why it was deleted, so the Activity ID cannot be re-used again?

Volume of work lag in Forensic Analysis

The AACEI RP 29R-03 2011 on the modeled substractive methods provide for extraction of entire activities or a portion of the as-built durations representing delays or changes from a network analysis model representing the as-built condition of the schedule.

If two overlapped activities with original duration of 10 days overlapped by 5 days lags are reduced to five days then common sense tells us that lag must also be reduced to half.

Responsibility for concurrent delays

B
Bo Johnsen 👤 Member for 20 years 3 months

Say you have two parties, A and B, and the project has totally suffered 100 days of delays. Party A is responsible for 100 days of delays and party B is responsible for 70 days of delay (i.e. 70 days are concurrent delays).
 
Who is responsible for what?
1) Party A for all 100 days
2) Party A only for the last 30 days and A+B together for the first 70 days
 
More importantly does the answer change if party B delayed his activities due to the delays of party A, i.e.

Are non-work calendar days claimable?

So,

This contractor was working under a 6 day-workweek calendar (Stablished in the contract), but in the seventh day (say, the sunday when there were no one working at the place) a storm hit the place of the works and the 8th day the place was not available to be worked because it was flooded. It took that day to recover from the efects of the flooding.

The storm affected activities over the critical path, the question is: The affectation to the finish date is one day (the flooded day) or two days (The day when it was raining plus the flooded day) ?

Actvitity Durations

J
John Kelly 👤 Member for 14 years 10 months

Hi Guys & Gals,

I am in the process of ensuring my Baseline is robust enough for a delay analysis, adding missing logic links, removing constraints etc.  I have removed a lot of 'As late as possible' constraints that had no Predecessor and linked them with the relevant lag to a Start milestone.

Problem is when i add the FS +lag to each activity the start date is the same, Duration is the same but the Finish date is always a day earlier, all calendars are the same so its not that.

Any ideas? I am using P7 by the way

Thanks in advance
