CHALLENGES IN IMPLEMENTATION Delhi Metro Project is the biggest urban intervention since

Independence.

Project is to be executed in very difficult urban environment.

Being in the capital city all actions under close scrutiny of VVIPs.

Project approved on completion cost.

The Project implementation period extremely compressed and strict completion targets.

Metro being constructed to world class standards with frontline technologies.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Each activity of testing identified and duration of all these activities pre-determined

Trials conducted as per schedule pre-determined jointly by System Contracts

Service trial schedules also laid out in advance

Sufficient time provided before actual commissioning

INTERFACE MANAGEMENT

•Interface Management - “Access dates” and “Key dates”

listed in contract document itself.

• The important items which require interface with other contractors are clearly identified and indicated in contracts.

• Other contractors with whom the contractor has to interface are also clearly defined.

MONITORING DURING EXECUTION Contractors prepare detailed Base – line work

schedule for execution including duration of activities and identification of critical activities/path

Close monitoring of work schedule, mobilization of ‘Manpower’, ‘Machinery & Plant’ and ‘Materials’

Weakly meetings with Contractors for planning the work and solving their problems.

Practical approach to solve the genuine problems of contractors.

Streamlined prompt payment procedure and quick decision-making.

MONITORING DURING EXECUTION ………• Stringent penalties for failures to deliver.

• Prompt resolution of claims.

• Round the clock supervision guaranteed

• Strict independent quality & safety audit.

• Monthly progress presentations by the contractors

• DMRC directly handles works pertaining to other Government and Civic Departments to speed up.
