Critical-path schedule recovery

The assigned contractor formally advised that it could not complete the remaining repair work because the scope was too technically complex for its capability and resources. The project had fallen behind schedule and was on the critical path. The remaining work required a revised delivery setup and execution plan.

I supported the contractor transition, established the remaining-work baseline, coordinated technical and field handover, rebuilt the short-term execution plan and recovery deadline, and reorganized priorities around critical activities.

The handover covered accepted work, open repairs, inspection and NDT status, materials, permits, and field constraints.

I supported replacement-contractor mobilization and planned the manpower and resources needed for the remaining scope. Safe parallel work fronts and priority-based allocation of welders, equipment, tools, and materials reduced waiting between repair, welding, inspection, and release.

Daily KPI control covered planned versus actual progress, productive welders, completed quantities, inspection/NDT release, and constraints over the next 24–72 hours. When a critical work front fell below target, manpower and equipment were redistributed and inspection coordination adjusted.

The project is now close to completion. The revised approach connects execution priorities, resources, and daily contractor-performance follow-up to the remaining critical work.

This case describes my coordination and follow-up within an active recovery effort. It does not represent completed tank handover or a finalized schedule outcome.
