What are the key management priorities in the project closure phase?
Thread Content
One of the ongoing construction projects is now in its final stages. As one of the project managers, I believe that management efforts at this stage are particularly important. However, there are so many things to take into account that it’s hard to determine what’s most crucial. Could any experienced manager offer some guidance?
1. Carry out thorough inspections and proper adjustments. 2. Strengthen safety management. 3. Communicate more with production staff to address potential issues that may arise during production. 4. Prepare properly for commissioning
If it is the final work before the completion of civil construction, then emphasis must be placed on perfection and meticulousness, as well as on cleaning up the completed sections and protecting the finished products. Check layer by layer from top to bottom, in segments and layers, to see if the completion requirements are met. Of course, it is necessary to ensure that there are complete completion documents.
Inspections are primarily carried out in accordance with the requirements of the three checks and four determinations, and a production preparation department is established to provide unified supervision and coordination. In addition, the single-unit trial run plan and pipeline pressure testing for leak detection should be given priority
1. List the final item lists separately by unit project, specialty, etc., in accordance with the three inspections and four determinations； 2. Indicate the reason for non-completion, then follow up ； 3. Attention should be paid to the three inspections and four fixations ； 4. Distinguish between primary and secondary matters, and check and implement each one individually ； 5. Pay attention to construction safety.
It is important to organize and implement the three inspections and four determinations effectively; conduct more on-site checks on the progress of rectifying these items, track the advancement of each rectification task on a daily basis – by being meticulous in the work, things will be done well.
1. During the final phase, it is necessary to carry out three inspections and four determinations, and assign personnel to eliminate the remaining items； 2. Clean up the completed work in various specialties, with particular attention to the proper use of bolts and gaskets ； 3. Inspection status during the cleaning process (including non-destructive testing, PMI testing, test block reports, etc.) ； 4. Assist the owner with the relevant preparatory work prior to commencement.
During the initial and final stages of a project, construction companies need to focus on the following tasks: 1. Work together with the project owner, supervision team, and design team to carry out thorough inspections and confirmations in order to avoid any omissions. 2. Cooperate closely with the workshop to prepare for the project’s commissioning, and anticipate potential faults that may arise during operation in order to take preventive measures. For the developer: 1. It is necessary to urge the construction unit to complete the remaining construction tasks as soon as possible, and assign personnel to follow the proper procedures. 2. For locations that are difficult to work on, coordinate with the construction and design teams as soon as possible to make the necessary adjustments. 3. Prepare properly for driving by providing theoretical training to employees, so that each one understands the driving procedures and is aware of their job responsibilities. 4. Conduct safety education and training
As a supplementary note: Construction units must also properly organize and archive the handover technical documents. The supervision unit should urge promptly.
