Long Island Railroad Project

Primavera Consultants was engage well after this project was underway and following the untimely dismissal of the original scheduler.  The client Myers Control Power had many moving parts including equipment suppliers some requiring an 18 months lead time for manufacturing, shipping and ultimate storage once on site prior to installation.  Owner engagement (Long Island Railroad) was also very high with high expectation for on-time delivery of their stations. 

First order of Business:

The Primavera Consultants Team needed to harmonize the schedule with Earn value (EV) being tracked in Excel and allow the Contractor’s staff to see the project impacts from a current state perspective.  This was accomplished using Primavera P6 reporting, resource profile curves and stacked histograms associated with forecasting manpower, etc.  Our Primavera Consultants Team helped mentor younger team members, walking them through all CPM and project related processes ensuring clear awareness of all the moving parts.

The Primavera Consultants Team experience with Excel and Risk management was instrumental in getting back on track. Our Team remotely ran weekly project meetings between the Owner and Contractor to manage expectations and deliver transparency, establish accountability for the crafts and track issues critical to the success of the project.
