Today’s businesses are driven by customer ‘pull’ and technological ‘push’. To remain competitive in this dynamic business world, engineering and construction organizations are constantly innovating with new technology tools and techniques to improve process performance in their projects. Their management challenge is to save time, reduce cost and increase quality and operational efficiency. Risk management has recently evolved as an effective method of managing both projects and operations. Risk is inherent in any project, as managers need to plan projects with minimal knowledge and information, but its management helps managers to become proactive rather than reactive. Hence, it not only increases the chance of project achievement, but also helps ensure better performance throughout its operations phase. Various qualitative and quantitative tools are researched extensively by academics and routinely deployed by practitioners for managing risk. These have tremendous potential for wider applications. Yet the current literature on both the theory and practice of risk management is widely scattered. Most of the books emphasize risk management theory but lack practical demonstrations and give little guidance on the application of those theories. This book showcases a number of effective applications of risk management tools and techniques across product and service life in a way useful for practitioners, graduate students and researchers. It also provides an in-depth understanding of the principles of risk management in engineering and construction.

Until now there has been little information available to engineers to help them assimilate quickly the basic theories and practice of risk management; nor has information been widely available on the risk assessments actually produced and the risk management undertaken by those working in the construction industry . Previous books and articles on risk management have been either academic works with little practical civil engineering content or highly detailed reports which focus on specialised applications. Practical Risk Management in the Construction Industry provides engineers with an easily understandable overview of the risk management procedures that are applicable generally to commercial organizations, the risks that might arise particularly in construction and, by the use of practical examples, how those risks can be managed.

This book provides a step-by-step guidance on how to implement analytical methods in project risk management. The text focuses on engineering design and construction projects and as such is suitable for graduate students in engineering, construction, or project management, as well as practitioners aiming to develop, improve, and/or simplify corporate project management processes. The book places emphasis on building data-driven models for additive-incremental risks, where data can be collected on project sites, assembled from queries of corporate databases, and/or generated using procedures for eliciting experts’ judgments. While the presented models are mathematically inspired, they are nothing beyond what an engineering graduate is expected to know: some algebra, a little calculus, a little statistics, and, especially, undergraduate-level understanding of the probability theory. The book is organized in three parts and fourteen chapters. In Part I the authors provide the general introduction to risk and uncertainty analysis applied to engineering construction projects. The basic formulations and the methods for risk assessment used during project planning phase are discussed in Part II, while in Part III the authors present the methods for monitoring and (re)assessment of risks during project execution.

"Contractors involved in construction in, or adjacent to, rivers and estuaries are open to a range of construction risks from working in this environment. - Not only the primary risk of flooding, but significant risk also stems from scour, poor ground conditions, site drainage, plant operation, site access and tidal impact. - The construction works themselves may also have an impact on the river including impact on flood water levels, changes to the local river regime, scour or siltation and effects on navigation and environmental impacts such as pollution. - "This Manual assists in identifying and managing risks in works design and construction. - Guidance is offered on risk assessment and management techniques, along with the identification of typical risk issues likely to be encountered in the river and estuary environment. - It is essential reading for clients, project funders, contractors, consulting engineers (both in design and supervision role), insurers and those interested with the risks associated with river and estuary engineering."--BOOK JACKET.

Investment in any new project invariably carries risk but the construction industry is subject to more risk and uncertainty than perhaps any other industry. This guide for construction managers, project managers and quantity surveyors as well as for students shows how the risk management process improves decision-making. Managing Risk in Construction Projects offers practical guidance on identifying, assessing and managing risk and provides a sound basis for effective decision-making in conditions of uncertainty. The book focuses on theoretical aspects of risk management but also clarifies procedures for undertaking and utilising decisions. This blend of theory and practice is the real message of the book and, with a strong authorship team of practitioners and leading academics, the book provides an authoritative guide for practitioners having to manage real projects. It discusses a number of general concepts, including projects, project phases, and risk attitude before introducing various risk management techniques. This third edition has been extended to recognize the reality of multi-project or programme management and the risks in this context; to highlight the particular problems of risk in international joint ventures; and to provide more coverage of PFI and PPP. With case studies and examples of good practice, the book offers the distilled knowledge of over 100 man-years of experience in working on all aspects of project risk, giving sound practical guidance on identifying, assessing and managing risk.

The new 3rd edition of Nael Bunni’s Risk and Insurance in Construction, now co-authored with Lydia Bunni, explains the need for insurance in construction and engineering projects and why it must be incorporated into the Conditions of Contract for such projects. It is unique in bringing together the background of the two topics of 'risk' and 'construction insurance', explaining the flow and the interaction between them and then dealing with how they have been used to formulate the 2017 FIDIC Suite of Contracts and the 2021 Green Book. This edition has been fully updated, and new chapters deal with the latest definitions of 'risk' outlined in ISO 31000: 2009, and specifically explains the principles embodied in the new Clauses 17, 18 and 19 of the Major Suite of the FIDIC forms of contract and how they should be used. An important chapter (Chapter 5) is included, discussing the logical transition from decision-making to risk identification to responsibility for those allocated with particular risks, to the potential liability that results. This includes discussing particular liabilities that may arise for parties typically involved in construction and engineering projects, including developers, owners, contractors and designers. This part of the book links insurance to the law and explains the interaction between the two topics. The correlation between liability and the need for indemnity, which can only be provided properly through insurance, is highlighted. The book is essential reading for practitioners from both the engineering profession and the insurance industry in all types of projects. Engineers who are required to use one of the Major Forms of the FIDIC Suite of Contracts, whether they are designers or contractors, and those involved in the insurance sector, whether brokers, claim consultants or insurance company personnel, will find this book to be an indispensable reference.
