Roads construction is deceptively complex, not least due to the extent of physical interfaces with adjoining properties, structures, or the relative vastness of the construction site itself. Besides ensuring that contracts are structured appropriately, it is especially critical for management to ensure administrative communication lines are established and used.
William Riakos has overseen the commercial management and implemented conflict avoidance strategies on a road project in Kuwait that interfaces with bridges, underpasses and other associated heavy infrastructure packages. The construction contract was valued at over US$100million.
Solutions were required to resolve matters involving: delayed possession; appropriation disputes; delayed instructions; general coordination/possession matters; and sub-contractor & supplier claims.
