2. Concrete aggregates temperature issues,
3. Delayed CTC approval in the initial phase,
4. Prolonged CTC approval cycle,
5. Delays in approval from Client for engineering deliverables like process
calculations, etc.
6. Subcontractor (LEAD) employees strike,
7. Security strike & cascading effect of it,

Remedial/ Mitigation action practiced/ being practiced
1. Mitigation measures are being practiced for concrete works,
2. Concrete works are being done in two shifts starting at 03:00 hrs. in the

3. Measures are being practiced to bring down the temperature of the
aggregates,
4. Manpower is being reinforced,
5. Optimization of available resources,
6. Skilled manpower is being deployed on site,

Main Points/ Outline
1. The Overhead Power-line activities are being driven by the Road Construction
activity which is foreseen to be accomplished only by next year i.e. 2016.
2. The priority well-head sequence has been altered by Client and Kahlouche
has replaced earlier choice.
3. Project schedule re-baselining would negate the variances at the wellhead &
Overhead power-line area for Out-Side-Battery-Limit work scope.
