Conclusion Annexes (1 – 5) Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 1.OVERVIEW TO THE CIVIL ENGINEERING Civil Engineering is one of the oldest jobs in the world. Civil engineering deals with constructing, designing, and maintaining a physical environment. This includes structures such as airports, roads, bridges, dams, sewerage, railways, and many more. As such, there are six major sub disciplines of civil engineering. Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 3 OVERVIEW TO THE CIVIL ENGINEERING - Continued 1. Structural Engineering This branch of civil engineering encompasses the structural analysis and design of structures. It is the responsibility of the structural engineer to analyze and design a structure that will safely bear or resist the stresses, forces and loads. The design must satisfy the project specifications while meeting all safety regulations. The structure must endure massive loads as well as natural disasters and climate changes. Major specialties: Earthquake engineering, the behavior of structures subject to seismic loading Wind engineering, the analysis of wind and its effects on the built environment Architectural engineering, application of engineering principles to building design and construction Ocean engineering, the design of offshore structures Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 4 OVERVIEW TO THE CIVIL ENGINEERING - Continued 2. Geotechnical Engineering In geotechnical engineering, the engineer studies soil, foundations, and bearing capacities. The engineer will study the behavior of the earth materials and how they will affect a structure that is to be constructed. They will also evaluate pre-existing structures that are showing signs of problems with the earth materials under or near the structure. Major specialties: Mining engineering, the exploration, extraction and processing of raw materials from the Earth Foundation (engineering), the engineering of below ground foundations that support superstructures Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 5 OVERVIEW TO THE CIVIL ENGINEERING - Continued 3. Environmental Engineering This civil engineering type is the study of environment friendly designs, pollution and their resolutions and sewage management. Many engineers focus solely upon the crisis of pollution and coming up with solutions as well as determining new and inventive ways for sewage management and other environmental entities. Major specialties: Ecological engineering, the design, monitoring and construction of ecosystems Fire protection engineering, the application of engineering to protect people and environments from fire and smoke Sanitary engineering, the application of engineering methods to improve sanitation of human communities Municipal or urban engineering, civil engineering applied to municipal issues such as water and waste management, transportation networks, subdivisions, communications, hydrology, hydraulics, etc. Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 6 OVERVIEW TO THE CIVIL ENGINEERING - Continued Wastewater engineering, Wastewater engineering is a type of engineering that comes from civil engineering and environmental engineering. A wastewater engineer determines the best way to transport or collect rainwater for human populations. Wastewater engineering also deals with the transportation and cleaning of black water, grey water, and irrigation water. Wastewater treatment and water reclamation are areas of concern in this field. Wastewater engineers map out topographical and geographical features of Earth to determine the best means of collection. They use sonar scanning in wells to determine volumes of water that can be used for human consumption. Using these types of data they are able to provide a means of collecting water. After collecting the water, it is their job to transport it to where it can be made available for use. Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 7 OVERVIEW TO THE CIVIL ENGINEERING - Continued 4. Transportation Engineering Civil engineers that specialize in transportation engineering will work with the planning, construction and management of transportation facilities. They will design and implement the infrastructures that deal with transportation in order to provide a safe, comfortable, convenient, economical and environmentally compatible mode of transport. There are six divisions related to transportation engineering: highway, air transportation, waterway, aerospace, coastal & ocean and urban transportation. Major specialties: Traffic engineering, a branch of transportation engineering focusing on the infrastructure necessary for transportation Highway engineering, a branch of engineering that deals with major roadways and transportation systems involving automobiles. Highway engineering usually involves the construction and design of highways Railway systems engineering Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 8 OVERVIEW TO THE CIVIL ENGINEERING - Continued 5. Water Resource Engineering These engineers deal with the design and construction of hydraulic structures. These structures include dams, canals and water distribution system. The engineer is responsible for the design of the structure as well as the implementation and safety precautions that must be closely adhered to when dealing with hydraulic structures. Major specialties: Hydraulic engineering, concerned with the flow and conveyance of fluids, principally water; intimately related to the design of pipelines, water supply network, drainage facilities (including bridges, dams, levees, channels, culverts, storm sewers), and canals. Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 9 OVERVIEW TO THE CIVIL ENGINEERING - Continued River engineering is the process of planned human intervention in the course, characteristics, or flow of a river with the intention of producing some defined benefit—to manage the water resources, to protect against flooding, or to make passage along or across rivers easier. Coastal engineering, the study of the processes ongoing at the shoreline and construction within the coastal zone, often directed at combating erosion of coasts or providing navigational access. Groundwater engineering involves the analysis, monitoring and often modelling of groundwater source to better understand how much remains and if the water can be used for e.g. recharging reservoirs and irrigation Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 10 OVERVIEW TO THE CIVIL ENGINEERING - Continued 6. Construction & Management Engineering - Applicable for Site Staff • This civil engineering branch deals with the planning, construction and maintenance of structures. Construction engineering is the planning and execution of designs from site development, environmental, geotechnical, transportation and structural engineers. • They must ensure that the plans that have been designed by other engineers are implemented to their exact specifications. • Construction engineers will supervise field work during the entire project. They are in a sense a cross between an engineer and manager as they will oversee the project from start to finish and handle any problems that come up throughout the duration of the project.

P R O J E C T M A N A G E M E N T B R I E F Introduction Project management is the application of processes, methods, skills, knowledge and experience to achieve specific project objectives according to the project acceptance criteria within agreed parameters. Project management has final deliverables that are constrained to a finite timescale and budget. Since the project management is one of the core functions of a business organization, the project management function should be supported by software nowadays. Types of Project Management Software 1 – Desktop Based There are two types of project management software available for project managers. The first category of such software is the desktop software. Microsoft Project is a good example for this type. You can manage your entire project using MS Project, but you need to share the electronic documents with others, when collaboration is required. Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 12 PROJECT MANAGEMENT BRIEF - Continued 2 – Web/Cloud Based As a solution for the above issue, the web-based project management software was introduced. With this type, the users can access the web application and read, write or change the project management-related activities. This was a good solution for distributed projects across departments and geographies. This way, all the stakeholders of the project have access to project details at any given time. Specially, this model is the best for virtual teams that operate on the Internet. Characteristics of Project Management Software 1 2 3 4 5 6 – Collaboration - Scheduling - Issue Tracking - Project Portfolio Management - Document Management - Resource Management Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 13 PROJECT MANAGEMENT BRIEF - Continued Generally project management is defined as managing resources over the life cycle of a project through various tools and methodologies to control scope, cost, time, quality, etc The purpose of PM is to control a project's time / delivery, cost and quality—sometimes referred to as a "triple constraints."

CM is compatible with all project delivery systems, including design-bid-build, design-build, CM At-Risk and Public Private Partnerships. Professional construction managers may be reserved for lengthy, large-scale, high budget undertakings (commercial real estate, transportation infrastructure, industrial facilities, and military infrastructure), called capital projects. Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 23 4.CONTRACTING SEQUENCE Pre-Contract Post-Contract construction work EMPLOYER ’S REF Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 24 5.BRIEF ON MAJOR CONSTRUCTION STAGES Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 25 BRIEF ON MAJOR CONSTRUCTION STAGES - Continued Mainly, there are 3 stages of a typical construction project. 1. Feasibility, Design, and Tender Stage 2. Construction Phase 3. Handoff 1.1 Feasibility studies for construction projects Feasibility studies are preliminary studies undertaken in the very early stage of a project. They tend to be carried out when a project is large or complex, or where there is some doubt or controversy regarding the proposed development. If an environmental impact assessment (EIA) is required, this may involve assessments best undertaken as part of feasibility studies. The purpose of feasibility studies is to: • • • Establish whether the project is viable. Help identify feasible options. Assist in the development of other project documentation such as the business case, project execution plan and strategic brief. Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 26 BRIEF ON MAJOR CONSTRUCTION STAGES - Continued 1. Technical feasibility Technical feasibility is the assessment of the technical requirements of a project or product to find out what technical resources a project requires. Technical feasibility is not complete until the same technical assessment is done on the company to establish that it has the technical capabilities to carry out the implementation of the project to completion within the required time. It is focused on the available hardware and software to be used for a project. 2. Legal feasibility This is an assessment of whether the project meets the legal requirements that exist for implementation. An example is whether a new building meets the requirements of the law, whether the location was suitably chosen and construction is approved by the authorities. Legal feasibility also encompasses the ethical aspects of a project, for example does a new plant dump its waste in a manner that is environmentally friendly. The project may also be a new undertaking that is not covered under any law and so this must also be checked. Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 27 BRIEF ON MAJOR CONSTRUCTION STAGES - Continued 3. Operational feasibility Operational feasibility ascertains how well the implementation of a project fits in with the current organizational business structure. The solutions to a current problem must come as close as possible to a perfect fit with the organizational structure and be able to be applied to solve other arising problems. The opportunities that come along the way during the solution implementation must be able to be harnessed for even easier implementation. 4. Schedule feasibility Before you start a project, you have to ask the following questions: When is the project due? Are there legal obligations related to the schedule? Within what time is the project or product viable? Are the deadlines attainable? This is an assessment of the time frame for the delivery of the product and whether or not the product will still be needed after that time. Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 28 BRIEF ON MAJOR CONSTRUCTION STAGES - Continued 5. Economic feasibility Here, a study is done on the project to see how long it would take for the project to reach break-even point. It is similar to a cost benefit analysis. Every project incurs a cost and it is prudent for financial planning purposes to know exactly when to expect returns. Also, to anticipate the capital required to complete the project. This is not limited to for-profit projects only as they will also incur a financial cost. TECHNICAL & FINANCIAL PROPOSAL – Refer to BUSINESS OVERVIEW – Refer to FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY – Refer to Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 29 BRIEF ON MAJOR CONSTRUCTION STAGES - Continued 1.2 DESIGN There are four parts to designing a construction project. It’s the responsibility of the project manager to make sure your design meets with building codes and other regulations. i.The concept. What are the needs, goals and objectives of the project? You’ll be making decisions based on the size of the project, the site allocated for the build and the actual design of what your building. This is comprised of a list for each room or space under consideration, including all critical data. ii.The schematic design. This is a sketch that identifies all the various parts, materials, sizes, colors, textures, etc. It includes the floor plan, elevations, etc., even a site plan. iii.Develop the design. This requires research. What are the materials to use? What equipment will be needed? How much are the materials? You’ll be refining the original drawings from the previous stage now to reflect these decisions. Knowing local building codes and adhering to them will be important at this stage. iv.Get the contract documents together. These are the final drawing and construction specs. These will be used by outside contractors to bid on the job. Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 30 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION OF BAGO BRIDGE PROJECT BRIEF ON MAJOR CONSTRUCTION STAGES - Continued Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 31 BRIEF ON MAJOR CONSTRUCTION STAGES - Continued 1.3 Tendering/Contracting Tendering is a process where are an organisation responds to a request for information or pricing related to the supply of goods and services from another organisation.Organisations typically solicit tenders from more than one organisation and will evaluate and accept tenders that meet their needs and offer the best value for money. The acceptance of a tender results in a contract between the organisations. During the Tendering stage, there will be engineering inputs to the tender submissions and relevant inputs can be illustrated as below. 1. Method statements 2. Work sequence 3. Project program 4. Manpower Histogram 5. Organisational structure & Responsibility matrix for individuals 6. Tools/Machinery Requirement 7. Tools/Machinery Requirement 8. Procurement & Logistics Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 32 BRIEF ON MAJOR CONSTRUCTION STAGES - Continued Apart from that, the following also to be carried out at this stage where applicable. • Preparation of work norms • Preparation of rate breakdown • Preparation of preambles and prequalification documents • Cash flow forecasting • Preparation of the site budget Bills Of Quantities – BOQ -> Ex. 1 , Ex.2 The bill of quantities is a document prepared by the cost consultant (often a quantity surveyor) that provides project specific measured quantities of the items of work identified by the drawings and specifications in the tender documentation. The quantities may be measured in number, length, area, volume, weight or time. Preparing a bill of quantities requires that the design is complete and a specification has been prepared. Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 33 BRIEF ON MAJOR CONSTRUCTION STAGES - Continued The bill of quantities is issued to tenderers for them to prepare a price for carrying out the works. The bill of quantities assists tenderers in the calculation of construction costs for their tender, and, as it means all tendering contractors will be pricing the same quantities (rather than taking off quantities from the drawings and specifications themselves), it also provides a fair and accurate system for tendering. The priced Bills of Quantities will also: • • • • Assist with the agreement of the contract sum with the successful tenderer. Provide a schedule of rates assisting with the valuation of variations. Provide a basis for the valuation of interim payments. Provide a basis for the preparation of the final account Bills of quantities can be prepared elementally or in works packages, by a process of 'taking off' which involves identifying elements of construction works that can be measured and priced. Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 34 BRIEF ON MAJOR CONSTRUCTION STAGES - Continued It is very important that bills of quantities are prepared according to a standard, widely recognised methodology. This helps avoid any ambiguities or misunderstandings and so helps avoid disputes arising through different interpretations of what has been priced. In the UK, bills of quantities for general construction works were until recently most commonly prepared in accordance with the Standard Method of Measurement, currently in its 7th Edition (SMM7). However, a new standard, the New Rules of Measurement (NRM 2) became operative on 1 January 2013 and replaced SMM7 on 1st July 2013. Other methods of measurement are used for civil engineering works, such as the Civil Engineering Method of Measurement currently in its 4th Edition (CESMM). Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 35 BRIEF ON MAJOR CONSTRUCTION STAGES - Continued Contract Agreements General terms and structure of a contract agreement There is no specific format that a contract must follow. Generally it will include some terms, either expressed or implied, that will form the basis of the agreement. These terms may outline contract conditions or contract warranties. Contract conditions are fundamental to the agreement. If the contract conditions are not met it is possible to terminate the contract and seek compensation or damages. Contract warranties are less important terms and not fundamental to the agreement. You cannot terminate a contract if the warranties are not fulfilled, however, you may be able to seek compensation for any losses incurred. When negotiating the contract terms make sure the conditions of the contract are clearly defined and agreed to by all parties. Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 36 BRIEF ON MAJOR CONSTRUCTION STAGES - Continued Contracts may follow a structure that can include, but are not limited to, the following items: • details of the parties to the contract, including any sub-contracting arrangements • duration or period of the contract • definitions of key terms used within the contract • a description of the goods and/or services that your business will receive or provide, including key deliverables • payment details and dates, including whether interest will be applied to late payments • key dates and milestones • required insurance and indemnity provisions • guarantee provisions, including director’s guarantees • damages or penalty provisions • renegotiation or renewal options • complaints and dispute resolution process • termination conditions • special conditions Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 37 BRIEF ON MAJOR CONSTRUCTION STAGES - Continued International Standard Forms of Contracts 1. FIDIC Since its founding, FIDIC’s main activity is publishing international standard forms of Contracts. First standard form of Contract was The Form of contract for works of Civil Engineering construction, in 1957. It became famous by its cover and called “The Red Book”. Ever since then, it has become the tradition that FIDIC Contracts are known by the colour of their cover. • Conditions of Contract for Works of Civil Engineering Construction: The Red Book (1987) • Conditions of Contract for Electrical and Mechanical Works including Erection on Site: The Yellow Book (1987) • Conditions of Contract for Design-Build and Turnkey: The Orange Book (1995) A note on the Multilateral Development Bank (MDB) Harmonised Edition of the FIDIC Red Book (2010 edition), known as the Pink Book. Bago Bridge Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 38 BRIEF ON MAJOR CONSTRUCTION STAGES - Continued International Standard Forms of Contracts FIDIC – Continued Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 39 BRIEF ON MAJOR CONSTRUCTION STAGES - Continued International Standard Forms of Contracts JCT Contracts JCT contracts facilitate the process of constructing buildings. In simple terms, contracts set out the responsibilities of all parties within the construction process and their obligations, so it is clear as to what work needs to be done, who is doing it, when are they doing it by, and for how much. JCT is the UK’s leading producer of standard forms of contract, which work on the principle of adapting established benchmark provisions to suit a wide range of projects. What is a standard form of building contract? A standard form of building contract is a form of contract containing conditions which are applicable, or can be made applicable by the use of alternatives, to a wide range of building projects. Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 40 BRIEF ON MAJOR CONSTRUCTION STAGES - Continued International Standard Forms of Contracts JCT Contracts - Continued The JCT approach Our approach is to produce standard forms that meet clearly defined needs and apportion risk in a way that is appropriate for the procurement methods they reflect. The JCT suite of contracts is made up of ‘families’ of standard forms, guidance and other documents that are suitable for the majority of construction projects and procurement methods. JCT contracts are produced to provide two key services: Minimise the transaction cost of entering into a contract Provide benchmark provisions in standard form contracts Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 41 BRIEF ON MAJOR CONSTRUCTION STAGES - Continued 2.

Environmental benefits: enhance and protect biodiversity and ecosystems improve air and water quality reduce waste streams conserve and restore natural resources Social benefits: enhance occupant comfort and health heighten aesthetic qualities minimize strain on local infrastructure improve the overall quality of life" Economic benefits: reduce operating costs create, expand, and shape markets for green product and services improve occupant productivity optimize life-cycle economic performance Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 48 ANNEX – 01 : VALUE ENGINEERING Value engineering (VE) is a systematic method to improve the "value" of goods or products and services by using an examination of function. Value, as defined, is the ratio of function to cost. Value can therefore be manipulated by either improving the function or reducing the cost. Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 49 ANNEX – 02 : PROJECT SCHEDULES To develop a project schedule, the following needs to be completed: i. ii. iii. iv. v. vi. Project scope Sequence of activities Tasks grouped into project phases Task dependencies map Critical path analysis Project milestones (conception, definition & planning, launch, performance, close) • The critical path method (CPM), or critical path analysis (CPA), is an algorithm for scheduling a set of project activities. It is commonly used in conjunction with the program evaluation and review technique (PERT). A critical path is determined by identifying the longest stretch of dependent activities and measuring the time required to complete them from start to finish. • A project milestone is a task of zero duration that shows an important achievement in a project. The milestones should represent a clear sequence of events that incrementally build up until your project is complete. Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 50 ANNEX – 02 : PROJECT SCHEDULES- Continued Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 51 ANNEX – 02 : PROJECT SCHEDULES- Continued In project management, float or slack is the amount of time that a task in a project network can be delayed without causing a delay to: subsequent tasks ("free float") project completion date ("total float"). • EXAMPLE OF A PROJECT SCHEDULE Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 52 ANNEX – 03 : WORK NORMS & RATE ANALYSIS ANALYSIS OF RATES FOR BUILDINGS – YELLOW BOOK (MYANMAR) Rate = 200.00 LKR/kg = 0.11 USD/kg (180 LKR = 1 USD) So that, Rebar Unit Rate = 0.11 USD Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 53 ANNEX – 03 : WORK NORMS & RATE ANALYSIS Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 54 ANNEX – 04 : UNDERSTANDING A SIMPLE BOQ • Sample BOQ of a building project • A bill of quantities is a document used in tendering in the construction industry in which materials, parts, and labor (and their costs) are itemized. • It is one of the communication tool which connects the parties (Client, consultant & contractor) of construction project. Actually, BOQ is a schedule which categories, details and quantifies the materials and other cost items to be used in construction project. It is important to know that, direct costs & indirect costs are to be considered for complete cost of the project which are covered in different parts of the BOQ. THE MAJOR PARTS OF BOQ • Parts of BOQ can be varied according to the project size as well the practices. Generally it has measured works, Preliminaries & Provisional sums. The contract sum would be addition of these three items. • In summary BOQ is very much important for the commercial management purposes. It should be understood by every construction professional to deliver a quality and expected product to client. In other words to provide value for money. Sanken Overseas (Myanmar) Ltd 55 ANNEX – 04 : UNDERSTANDING A SIMPLE BOQ- Continued 1. PRELIMINARIES • In construction industry, preliminaries is known as the indirect cost for execution of project but these are the costs which is very much vital for the construction activities. The reason for these cost mentioned separately is it is very difficult to distribute these cost amongst with measured works. The examples for preliminaries listed below. • Charges for performance bond, advance payment guarantee & Workmen compensation • Maintenance of the site clean • Requirement of site office, site stores & staff accommodation. • Cost towards the project management staff (QS, Project Manager, Engineering professionals) • Charges for drawings & safety • From the above mentioned examples, it can be understood these costs cannot be distributed to work item but without these expenses there will be no project. 2. MEASURED WORKS • It is the actual or estimated work will be carried out to complete the project. The works have been measured in different units. They are liner meter, square meter, cubic meter, number, item & etc. Value of measured works will be calculated by multiplication of quantities and rate. 3. PROVISIONAL SUMS • It is the sum which is allocated for the undersigned works at the tender time. It will be adjusted after the execution of the project.
