Description
Summary:Avoid common pitfalls in large-scale projects using these smart strategies Over half of large-scale engineering and construction projects-off-shore oil platforms, chemical plants, metals processing, dams, and similar projects-have miserably poor results. These include billions of dollars in overruns, long delays in design and construction, and poor operability once finally completed. Industrial Megaprojects gives you a clear, nontechnical understanding of why these major projects get into trouble, and how your company can prevent hazardous and costly errors when undertaking such large technical and management challenges.
