Offshore Wind – CPM Scheduling
Michael supported the planning of two (2) offshore wind farm projects, with capacity of over 2GW. Michael defined EPC scope for both offshore wind farms and developed schedules to detail:
- Development of offshore wind farms including permitting, securing land, interconnection and transmission studies
- Wind farm design including land topography and geology, grid structure and distance and turbine size
- Financing
- Procurement
- Construction
- Commissioning, and
- Turnover to operations for each offshore wind farm
Michael reviewed suppliers and contractors’ schedules against key program milestone dates. Michael performed “what if” analysis in response to:
- Supply chain shortages
- Lack of domestic infrastructure
- Limited domestic manufacturing in key markets
- Evolving manufacturing lead times
- Availability of vessels, and
- Time of year restrictions
Michael developed monthly progress updates and management reports identifying potential delays to critical and sub-critical paths. He evaluated work packages, analyzed schedule variances and developed recovery plans to support power delivery milestones established in the PPA (Power Purchase Agreement).
