Risk Management for Major Infrastructure Projects

BURNS T.: Presentation/Webinar for the "Risk Engineering Society" Congress, 20. October 2020

This presentation was part of a lunchtime webinar series for "Engineers Australia" and the "Risk Engineering Society" from the 20 October 2020,.It describes an integrated probabilistic cost and schedule model. This integration along with the consideration of uncertainty in quantities, rates and timeframes helps to provide transparency on complex infrastructure projects. The application is based on a combination of two practice-proven approaches – the RIAAT (Risk Administration and Analysis Tool) and the Cost Estimation and Validation Process CEVP® (Reilly et al. 2004/Washington State Department of Transportation), creating a powerful tool for management of complex risk environments.
