Coming from BEP /EPC contractor Was riddled with technical problems / lack the deta
certain areas

Complexity of the project (problem areas)

Integration of cultures ; technical capabilities ; lack of project experience ;

authority /regulations ; construction execution plan / philosophy with EPC a
ARH approval ; suitability of EPC contractors in terms of NH3
experience/exposure ; customs , excise / logistics around construction ( be

Risks: (potential) ( initial)

Insufficient front end loading ; highly schedule driven ; inappropriate contra

strategy ; company politics ; ignoring best practices ; understanding
infrastructure

My initial task was to look at both the complexity / management strategy & risks as was
identified by me
