Construction Management for Industrial Projects
Mohamed A. El-Reedy
Most project management books focus on the management of building projects, such as housing, administration, and commercial building projects. Likewise, most engineering faculties focus on housing projects in their curricula, while industrial projects are, for the most part, in the oil and gas sector and other process industries. The aim of this book is to focus on the main tools of project management that are essential to industrial projects, focusing on, but not limited by, projects in the oil and gas sector.

Before starting a project, one should have a scientific way to expect the problems that he or she will face on the project during implementation and to solve them in a timely manner without affecting cost, time-frame, and quality. Risk assessment, which is discussed in chapter three, is about economic assessment, and this form of risk assessment is essentially qualitative. It is not feasible in the implementation phase. For that phase, a more quantitative risk assessment is appropriate, in order to exectute the project properly. This is discussed in chapter nine.
Construction Management for industrial projects - The Definition
The definition of a project is a series of activities that have a start and finish time. A project, in general, is unique, and no project is similar to another. This is very important, because one should know that the problem one may face in managing a project may be unique. Also, one should have a creative mind in order to get to the right solution without a reference, so that the professionalism of the project manager depends on his or her previous experience.
Construction Management for industrial projects - For Engineers
For us as engineers, a feasibility study is a mystery, because we are rarely working in this phase. Chapter three explains our role as engineers in the feasibility study. This chapter presents the main tools of economics to use in deciding whether to proceed with the new project. It also describes the scientific way to choose between the various alternatives. The principal of statistics is described in this chapter, in addition to the theory of probability from a practical point of view, and how we can use these tools to make the right decision. The Monte-Carlo simulation technique is presented, as it is the main tool in a feasibility study for oil and gas projects, which is the main tool that we use in the decision tree method. The decision tree method is very important and easy to use, and anyone who has read about it or attended a course on it is eager to apply it. However, the actual application of this method can be difficult. In this chapter, a practical way of applying the decision tree method in conjunction with the Monte-Carlo simulation is
