About the Theme:

“The Role of Mechanical Engineers in Managing Risk in Construction Projects”

In the construction industry, a project is generally envisioned with the anticipation of timely completion, within the budget frame, and client satisfaction. However, project risk is a reality we all face in construction, and one of the most commonly experienced problems or risk in this industry is project delay. Several factors can contribute to delays on a project and analyzing the causes of delays is an essential task for ameliorating any potential conflicts and mitigating its impact to clients and contractors. To the contractor, delay means higher overhead costs, and to the client, delay means loss of revenue. Since the awarding of 2022 World Cup to the State of Qatar, in 2nd of December 2007, the number of construction projects in Qatar had risen to unprecedented level. As Qatar continues its race against time in delivering construction and infrastructure projects by the fixed deadline of 2022, and later to achieve Qatar National Vision in 2030, project delay is an everyday reality as most of the public construction projects are experiencing widespread delays. A report in Project Management and Construction Claims Consulting mentioned that irrespective of the causes behind the delays, the ugly truth is that many projects here find it hard to keep up with the initial plans for timely completion. Some of the most famous project delays include Hamad International Airport, Sidra Medical and Research Center, Lusail City, among others. Although, after a series of delays, these projects were finally completed. These project delays posed a strong evidence of inconsistent performance of Qatari construction projects that warrants a systematic analysis of the delays. Regardless of the cause behind a project delay, clients and contractors are the most affected stakeholders. Mechanical Engineers on project sites have great responsibility to ensure that projects are completed on time and other risk on cost escalation and poor quality of construction work are averted.

The PSME-Qatar Chapter with its goal to ensure that every member will be up to date with the

existing mechanical plants here in Qatar. Plant tours is one of the way in providing members with

the actual operation of mechanical equipment inside the plants which in turn broaden members

knowledge and expertise as mechanical engineers.

Organized by the Committee on Professional Enhancement, a 2nd Plant Tour was arranged in

MSHERIB PROPERTIES last September 20, 2019 which was attended by 80 PSME-Qatar

members and non-members including two (2) Qataris working in Qatar Petroleum. The highlights

of the plant tour included the visit on the 29, 500 TOR District Cooling Plant, 6682 cubic meter

per day LPG Gas Plant and Community Waste Disposal System.

Eng’r. Arlan Betran - Fit Out Manager with Eng’r. Leopoldo Capulong – Infrastructure

A team of scientists in Spain are creating passively cooling bricks which could replace or augment air-conditioning in residential and commercial spaces. Though they are described as bricks, the more formal description is hydro-ceramics, a “sandwich” created by a layer of hydro gel spheres with a fabric layer between two ceramic outside layers. “The system is based on the perspiration mechanism of our human bodies,” says Areti Markopoulou, director of the Advanced Architecture Group at the Institute of Advanced Architecture of Catalonia. “When temperature in our body rises, our cells release humidity to balance our body temperature. That is why we actually sweat and this is exactly how the system of these composites perform.” The hydro gel could be roughly compared to the crystals in a baby’s diaper which absorb moisture and swell up. However, in this case the water then starts to evaporate, causing a thermodynamic action which creates a cooling effect. Markopoulou says the cooling effect on building interiors from hydro-ceramics can reduce the indoor temperature by up to 6 C because the hydro gel absorbs up to 500 times its weight in water. The water wicks in through the fabric and evaporates the same way, creating that cooling effect. But are these bricks part of the envelope or structural?

Our vision is to be able to use DIY technology that local people in third-world countries can use,— Areti Markopoulou, Advanced Architecture Group “It was initially developed as an envelope technology,” says Markopoulou, with an initial design including a perforated inner layer to allow air to circulate and activate the evaporation for creating an interior microclimate. “However, since it is a material system of a new composite, it is possible to customize and create ceramic bricks that can be structural.” There’s still a lot of work to be done, however, she adds, not least of which is to mass produce affordable bricks. There are two streams of thought on what that might look like, says Markopoulou. Part of the challenge will be to automate the production of hydro-ceramics with its four component “sandwich” (base layer, fabric layer, hydrogel “blobs” and top layer). Currently, scientists are looking at 3D printing the ceramic part, which opens up possibilities for creating mass-customized pieces of different forms and sizes, she says, and they are looking at commercialization.

“We have developed a series of different projects using composites that include hydro gels for evaporating ‘sweating’ facades,” says Markopoulou. “This concept has attracted big interest from different companies. So we are working on certifying some of the components and to develop performance tests in mock-ups.” However, given many impoverished urban areas around the world are in hot and dry or humid climates, there’s another manufacturing option for them. “Our vision is to be able to use DIY technology that local people in third-world countries can use to customize their construction according to their needs,” says Markopoulou. “This will require a combination of low-cost technology that could be moved on-site and the human local labour. Also, the clay is an earth-based material, which also means that it can be sourced locally.” As she notes, the concept isn’t revolutionary and is also modeled after ancient fridges which also used evaporative technology. “These expanding hydro gels are polymeric elastic materials with hydrophilic properties that allows them to absorb and retain large amounts of water in their three-dimensional molecular networks,” she says. “Thus, they absorb water and retain it by expanding their volume. Once temperature is high and there is air flow, the water evaporates and the hydro gels get back to their initial shape.” Once that cycle is complete they will need to be replenished with water and the current source is from grey water, says Markopoulou, though it could be from stored rainwater. The City of Barcelona is the target climate so it probably would not be applicable in the freeze-thaw cycles of a Canadian winter: “The project aims to prototype a custom-building element — a tile — able to regulate both temperature and humidity to create a comfort zone inside and in context of the climate of Barcelona (where they are located). We have similar research for very hot and humid climates. Both systems create envelopes for passive cooling, reducing the need of artificial cooling systems.” Initial data shows the cooling brick system can reduce reliance on air-conditioning by up to 15 per cent, she says, but that’s just a start. “This is not yet ideal, but we should also keep in mind that the composite is a low-cost solution which, with further development, could provide great savings for buildings,” she adds. As the technology is researched and developed, Markopoulou says, it is hoped that each building structure could be constructed with custom modules according to which way the external facades face and the seasonal temperature variations. “The composites have been developed using different densities of expanding hydro gels. This allows the control of micro-climate by design. At the same time, using computational simulations, as designers we are able to define for each climate and each building location the exact position and density of the different composites. This offers an enormous opportunity for construction, economic and performance optimization.”

Sometime in May 2019, the Philippine Society of Mechanical Engineers

(PSMEQ) organized a basketball team to participate in the Philippine

Professional Organizations in Qatar (PPOQ) SPROTSFEST 2019.

The selection of players made thru series try-out games with a thorough

filling of specific roles on the objective to retain as the tournament’s

Defending Champion in the past 6 years since PPO-Q started in 2010.

The challenge for the current year was the previous players were not

anymore here in Qatar and some were not qualified in the new guideline

set by PPOQ organizers that only organization members with PRC

License are allowed to play. Nevertheless, it did not stop PSME committee

in coming up with a complete lineup of new players for the tournament.

In the first few games of the Elimination Round, PSME Team lead on the

standings. It has gone through three (3) straight losing streak as the result

of key player’s unavailability due to the Ramadan Holidays and other

player’s annual vacation leave. Despite of the situation, the team managed

to cope up and qualify the Final 4 for Semi-Finals.

One of the exciting and tough

games in the entire tournament

was the PSMEQ game against

PNAQ that reached on a double

overtime.

The PPOQ Sports Fest 2019

concluded in 23rd August 2019

with PSME Qatar grabbing the

3rd Runner Up and Special

Recognitions to Engr. Amado

Dilig for Sportsmanship Award

and Engr. Joey Broñola for

Mythical 5 Award slots.

It was a profound experience for

the PSME Qatar participants; it

develops trust and camaraderie

during the entire event.

SPECIAL FEATURE: PROJECT MANAGEMENT – CONSTRUCTION DELAY

MITIGATION

Page | 21

How to Mitigate the Effects of Construction Delay Even the best laid construction plans cannot ensure a job site that is immune to delays. Construction project delays can strike at any time and can be the result of contractor default, acts of the owner, faulty scheduling, or circumstances outside of the control of either party. Most construction contracts include a Determination and Extension of Contract Time Clause, which provides guidelines for requesting changes to the agreed upon schedule. However, significant delay can lead to expensive and time-consuming legal claims, which is an undesirable outcome for all involved. Therefore, a general contractor’s ability to respond to delay swiftly and effectively is perhaps the one greatest asset on any job site.

Mitigating the Effects of Construction Delay Delays of any kind demand a swift response from job site management. Even the smallest setbacks have the potential to spiral into severe stumbling blocks. Effective job site management requires the ability to understand the gravity of these delays, evaluate the extenuating impacts they may have, and readjust the timeline in a responsible manner. Here are some tips for mitigating the effects of construction delay:

Anticipate With job site experience comes the ability to anticipate where and when delays may crop up. Anticipating potential obstacles is a proactive way of preparing your team – and client – so that everyone can respond with quick, effective action in the case that a delay arises. It removes the shock and panic factor of delay, and as a result allows you to make allowances with a clear mind, unclouded by an emotional response.

Prioritize planning Professional construction planning lays out a project’s timeline from start to finish, allowing managers to stay within budget, anticipate potential hazards, and make the necessary timeline adjustments in the moment. Delay allowances – albeit slight – are often built into a CPM timeline, allowing project management teams the necessary wiggle room to accommodate the inconveniences that inevitably arise. Prioritize accurate time estimates, cost estimates, and resource allocation from day one in order to avoid embarking on an unrealistic CPM schedule.

Avoid Acceleration Acceleration refers to the owner or general contractor’s choice to speed up the progress of a project to make up for lost time or accomplish an early completion. Though a knee-jerk reaction may be to accelerate what remains of the timeline in order to recuperate lost time, doing so is likely to put the project outcome in jeopardy. Instead, take the time to formally readjust schedules and accommodate for whatever delay has taken place.

Communicate down the chain of command If a timeline has been adjusted or expectations have been altered in any way, communicate with team members, subcontractors, and third party vendors so that the new timeline is clearly understood and all are in agreement to move forward with the revised plan. Maintaining a well-informed, multidisciplinary, competent project team is a vital element to ensuring a positive outcome for all involved.
