Project Management & Compliance

Overview

Control the work. De-risk the outcome.

We orchestrate complex underground and marine scopes through clear governance, early permits, disciplined schedules, and rigorous documentation—so owners, EPCs, and agencies stay aligned from NTP to handover.

Governance

Permits, standards & stakeholder alignment

We align to required codes and coordinate approvals early to protect schedule.

Topic	Details
Permits	Traffic control, hot work, confined space, environmental, dive operations, right-of-way
Standards	AWWA/ASME/ASTM per asset; API (as applicable); AWS D3.6M (underwater); OSHA/USACE EM 385-1-1 (site safety)
Submittals	ITP/QA plans, shop drawings, weld procedures, HDD bore plans, CIPP cure profiles, product data & MSDS
Interfaces	Owners, EPCs, utilities, municipalities, environmental agencies, third-party inspectors
Reporting	Weekly progress reports, look-aheads, risk & change logs, schedule updates (Gantt)

Schedule

Milestones that hold

We baseline realistic durations, protect critical path with float, and drive weekly variance recovery.

Milestone	Typical Window	Notes
NTP & Kickoff	Day 0–5	Roles, risk, comms cadence set
Permits/Submittals	Week 1–3	Parallel reviews where allowed
Procure/Mobilize	Week 2–5	Long-lead tracked; site setup
Execute Work	Varies	Daily JHAs, QA checkpoints
Test/Commission	Last 10%	Pressure/NDT/sign-offs
Close-out/Handover	+5–10 days	As-builts & O&M issued

Cost Control

Transparent change & earned value

Daily production tracking & two-week look-ahead discipline
RFIs & change notices with quantified schedule/cost impact
Earned Value (EV) snapshots for objective progress
Forecast-at-complete updated with each approved change

Risk & Quality

Fewer surprises, cleaner punch lists

We keep a living risk register and gate QA/QC before the next phase proceeds.

Risk	Mitigation	Owner
Permit delays	Pre-application meetings & parallel submittals	PM
Utility conflicts	Potholing, CCTV, updated alignment	Field Eng
Weather/tide windows	Seasonal plan, float, standby crew	Superintendent
Material lead times	Early PO, alternates, expediting	Procurement

QA/QC Gates

ITP hold points: pre-pour, weld fit-up, HDD pilot/ream, CIPP cure completion
Verification: pressure tests, weld/NDT logs, CCTV videos, cure charts
Documentation: redlines to as-builts, material certs, photo logs
Final acceptance: punch-list closure and signed commissioning records

QA/QC documentation and inspection checklist

Case Study — City Arterial HDD with Multi-Agency Permits

We coordinated traffic, environmental, and utility permits across three agencies for a 900-ft HDD under a four-lane road. Early stakeholder workshops and parallel reviews protected the critical path.

Zero rework on submittals; 100% first-pass approvals
Night work & detour plan minimized public impact
Close-out delivered in 7 days with as-builts and test records
