DIGITAL PROJECT ANALYSIS [PAST] FOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS
Infrastructure projects often take place over long time periods and this alone makes them inherently unpredictable. Or does it? What is the precise status of a project? Is everything going as smoothly as it should, or has the project run into difficulties? Where do we find the potential for optimization and what steps can we take to compensate for deficits and make processes quicker?
Infrastructure project managers have to give continual consideration to such questions, and more besides. The answers can be provided by a well-founded digital project analysis. This is the only way for disruptive factors, risks and opportunities to be identified and eliminated at an early stage. For one thing, if there's a change in jurisdiction over the project, it's important to check the current project status and to establish transparency.
OUR APPROACH
We support you in your infrastructure projects, providing solutions that are tailored individually and digitally to your own requirements and your organizational structure. We have many years of experience in setting up and managing large-scale infrastructure projects such as bridge and road renovation work, or upgrading of locks and waterways. We also support our customers working in construction and expansion of heating and power grids, as well as in building or modernizing power plants.
USING OUR PAST FOR THE FUTURE OF YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT
We use a digital analysis tool called PAST (Project Analysis Scoring Tool), developed on the basis of our long years of experience in analyzing infrastructure projects. Our successes in this field have led us, increasingly, to use PAST for structural engineering projects.
Using PAST enables us to quickly provide our customers with robust results, presented in the form of a clear project report. The basis for the process is a set of criteria developed by Drees & Sommer and proven in practice, derived from current project management standards (AHO, PMI, etc.) and our own experience. This is then evaluated using a transparent scoring process.
The report forms an important foundation for making decisions for the continuing progress of your infrastructure project. As the project goes on, this analysis process may be repeated multiple times, so that project development can be monitored continuously.
HOW WE WORK WITH PAST
One method we can use is to run a Quick Check, to give us fast results: This entails spending one or two weeks checking your project to identify the key characteristics. This provides you with a concrete analysis and recommendations for action, in the shortest possible time.
Another approach is the In-Depth Review for a comprehensive examination. This is our detailed analysis, which shows you in detail every single factor affecting your infrastructure project. This allows us to provide you with a detailed result within a few weeks.
