“Technical Assistance for Strengthening the Institutional Capacity of the National Authorising Officer (NAO) Office in Turkey in Performing its Tasks on the Implementation of Instrument for Pre-Accession (IPA)”. It is an European Union Project to help Turkey. Some ongoing Works Projects which are partially financed by the European Reunion are visited and reports are prepared regarding their implementation.
Construction of an OBO Building in Baghdad inside the Green Zone on the American Embassy grounds. It is a 8, 00 mi. USD Contract: SAQMMA: 12-F-4826: A very high standard and unusually sophisticated type of work
Site Manager of the construction on site of the Joint Venture:
Project is the construction of Waste Water Treatment Plant and Wastewater Collectors including Creek Rehabilitation in Erzurum Greater Municipality. EuropeAid/129943/D/WKS/TR. It is a 28 million Euro Project financed by the European Union. Job is EPC type on the Contractor’s side.
Project consists of construction of the Baku Chrystal Hall for the European Song Contest, Azerbaijan. Especially he supervised the erection of highly sophisticated 3D steel frames on the Consultant’s side. This was a very high quality fast track job.
He designed and implemented a Monthly Reporting System / Cost Control System; conform to PMP rules for the General Manager to follow-up regarding the forty (40) ongoing projects in Afghanistan worth a total of 600 million USD. Timing and severity of radical corporate decisions on running Projects were based on this unique Reporting System.
This reporting compares cost and income of ongoing projects with respect to early and late start of the project schedules, and advises in advance on possible malfunctioning of these projects. He used a cost control system based on the initial tender documents continuously revised by the site reports, payment certificates and up to date bill of quantities remaining. Systematic risk identification and mitigation were used.
He organized monthly planning sessions with the site people using conference calls.
He did special in-depth analyses of onsite critical technical issues for resolution especially regarding the high quality special purpose massive concrete: etc. airplane aprons.
Projects in Afghanistan usually are awarded by USACE. Rules were similar to FIDIC.
Airplane strips, airplane aprons, military type buildings, steel hangars, massive concrete, potable water, sewage, storm water, electrical and electronic equipment. All are EPC type of construction on the Contractor’s side.
He coordinated the Planning Department with a focus on overall Project Management of ongoing projects. He provided assistance on business development and tendering issues. He devised a cost control system based on the initial tender documents continuously revised by the site reports showing remaining work to be done.
Projects mostly are located in Afghanistan and awarded by the US Department of Defense, USACE and NAMSA (NATO). Rules were similar to FIDIC.
Airplane strips, airplane aprons, military type buildings, steel hangars, massive concrete, potable water, sewage, storm water, electrical and electronic equipment. All are EPC type of construction on the contractor’s side.
Taksept-Tizou Ouzou-Alger” Water Supply Project in Algeria. The $30 million water supply subcontract consisted of the detailed design and construction of reinforced concrete reservoirs (2x60.000m3) and concrete structures on the water pipeline (2x2000mm diameter). The Client was the General Contractor SNC Lavalin of Canada. FIDIC Rules. He organized to produce the detailed design in Algeria. He acted as the Project Manager vested by the required powers and managed the entire Project. Manpower reached 600 direct and indirect expatriate personnel during peak period.
Water Supply and Distribution Project of the city of Sanliurfa/TURKEY
The Project ($30 million) consisted of detailed design and construction of water supply pipes, main distribution network, pumping stations and storage reservoirs for the city of Sanliurfa in Turkey. The Client was the European Union. FIDIC Rules. He managed the routine meetings with the Client. He especially devised the strategy of claims under the title of Project Management with the Client. As an end result of innovative thinking a very important group of claims were paid by the Client to the Contractor after the arbitration.
He developed and used a general “Tender Computer Program” as a mathematical model fit to be easily adaptable to any new tender using the “Top Down Method”. This is a generic mathematical model which uses the already developed cost files organized either in unit prices or direct and indirect cost files. The General Manager of the company is only asked to produce a unique percentage on “The Profit and Risk Ratio”. He also devised a list of this ratio advised after analyzing various risk levels of different countries and client types where tenders originate. There is a total of full 23 Tenders submitted up to now and only four of them are awarded. He thinks that his approach is concise, unique and complete in itself. To improve this model only new cost data obtained from local subcontractors must be added to the model. Cost files already include very diverse tender topics. The same “Tender Computer Program” may be used during the Cost Control phase as a generic model of that Project. He plans to write a book on tender preparation when he retires.
He continued to develop and finalize a general “Tender Computer Program” as a mathematical model fit to be easily adaptable to any new tender using the “Top Down Method”. He managed to submit tenders for at least 15 very diverse construction projects. Only a handful was awarded.
He made business development. Especially he tried to compile and follow up all tender awarding international Clients on the global scale using Internet.
Mellitah, Wafa Coastal Project (Refinery construction), Wafa/LIBYA
Project was the main subcontract ($120 million) of an EPC construction of an immense oil refinery and oil and gas terminal combined: His responsibilities included Concrete and steel works on a large scale; working on the Contractor’s side. The Client was an Italian consortium.
Ankara Metro 3rd stage construction. Turkey.
The EPC Project ($30 million) consisted of a new metro track and related stations including a tunnel dug out by a TBM. During the initial stages of the Project he oversaw the basic engineering and detailed design of the system and the stations and got the approval after the formal Public Authority.
He prepared complete tender files and related cost estimates, made business contacts with government institutions and private companies. He started to build a systematic “Tender Computer Program” that could be used for all tenders in a generic fashion. On the other hand he worked on Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) type hydro-energy projects. He identified all suitable dam sites in Turkey for that purpose. He developed feasibility files to some dams to submit to the State Authority.
He worked on Business Development of construction projects in Turkey and overseas. He assisted in Tenders related to gas and oil pipelines and refineries which were the main speciality of the company. He developed Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model hydro-energy projects in Turkey. He executed the Contract Management of some ongoing projects.
He managed the QA/QC of the fixed facilities for the Ankara Metro Project; that is all of the construction work done by the Turkish contractors. As a side note: During these years, he also successfully designed, financed and constructed an 820 m2 building for his own account.
