  • Risk Analysis of PPP Urban Railway Projects in Asia
    Journal of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies, Vol.13, 2019 Risk Analysis of PPP Urban Railway Projects in Asia Hidetoshi MATSUSHITA a,b, Shigeru MORICHI a a National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies, Tokyo, 106-0032, Japan b NIPPON KOEI CO., LTD., Tokyo, 102-8539, Japan a E-mail: [email protected] b E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Most PPP urban railway projects in Asia have not succeeded. We have analyzed the reasons and risks of these projects qualitatively. The purpose of this paper is to get lessons from these failures and to know the information of better project scheme for new urban railway in Asia. In this paper we make quantitative analysis on each risk focusing on the Blue Line in Bangkok, the MRT Line 3 in Manila and the Kaohsiung Metro to understand the priority of improvement for these risks. Upon review of related literature and analysis of financial and operational data, this paper identifies various risks encountered and the risks allocation in the projects and prepares financial model of the projects to demonstrate the quantitative impacts caused by said risks. Finally, the paper provides the considerations focusing on the most influential issues and concludes with a series of suggestions to improve the projects. Keywords: Urban Railway, Private Public Partnership, Risk Analysis, Bangkok Blue Line, Kaohsiung Metro, Metro Manila MRT-3 1. INTRODUCTION Due to the fiscal challenges of governments and in order to take advantage of the expertise know-how of private sectors, PPP have been applied broadly in the Asian cities to procure urban railway systems.

  • Factors for Time and Cost Overrun in Public Projects
    Journal of Engineering, Project, and Production Management 2021, 11(3), 243-254 Factors for Time and Cost Overrun in Public Projects Shehryar Idrees1 and Muhammad Tariq Shafiq2 1Candidate MSc Engineering Management, Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering, UET, Lahore, Pakistan 2Assistant Professor, Department of Architecture Engineering, UAE University, Al-Ain, United Arab Emirates, E-mail: [email protected] (corresponding author). Project Management Received December 22, 2020; revised March 1, 2021; accepted March 15, 2021 Available online April 16, 2021 _________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: The construction industry in Pakistan is experiencing a surge in public sector projects due to major investments in infrastructure projects. Project delays and cost overrun are common features in public sector construction projects in Pakistan. Therefore, an understanding of the causes of time and cost overrun in public projects is essential. This paper investigates delay and cost overrun factors within the context of public sector projects in Pakistan. This study identifies 48 potential factors from existing literature and semi-structured interviews were used to refine the identified factors into ten categories. A questionnaire survey was used to establish a hierarchy of factors using descriptive statistics. The results showed that the major causes of time overruns in public projects were (1) legal issues, such as court stay orders, land acquisition, relocation of public facilities; (2) technical errors leading to low-quality drawings, rework, and errors at bidding stage; and (3) Poor project management. The findings of this research contribute to understanding the causes of project delays in public sector projects in Pakistan.
