Outrigger Makena Plant

Overview:

The Outrigger Makena Plant project required six months of focused construction, including pier installation and formwork across multiple plant zones. To ensure success, CPM scheduling and consulting were essential as civil and foundational elements demanded detailed sequencing and efficient resource coordination. For projects like this, CPM scheduling and consulting offer invaluable support.

At project initiation, the scheduler developed a baseline plan based on site logistics, material availability, and contractor input. This schedule ensured realistic phasing and supported daily decision-making. Coordination through CPM scheduling and consulting helped align construction efforts with staging areas and delivery timelines.

CPM Scheduling

Throughout the project, monthly schedule updates provided visibility into progress, risks, and adjustments. When formwork delays emerged, crews shifted to other work zones, avoiding downtime and maintaining schedule flow under the advisement of CPM scheduling and consulting experts.

Weekly coordination meetings confirmed progress, resolved sequencing issues, and reviewed upcoming milestones. These touchpoints improved communication and maintained alignment between trades. Look-ahead reports supported field planning and helped avoid work conflicts.

Additionally, ongoing reviews incorporated weather impacts, resource shifts, and subcontractor availability. Forecasting tools allowed the team to reassign labor, resequence work, and keep key activities moving forward. Daily updates informed leadership decisions and maintained momentum across active work areas.

Despite a short timeline and complex layout, construction stayed on track. Pier installation advanced smoothly across multiple areas, and formwork kept pace with structural milestones. Schedule discipline ensured accountability and supported timely issue resolution.

By project closeout, the team had met all key deliverables while maintaining quality and safety. The strategic application of CPM scheduling and consulting played a central role in keeping teams focused, efficient, and adaptable.

This project illustrates how strong project controls and collaborative scheduling practices can drive success—even under tight timelines and challenging conditions.
