Storm damage during the dredging and reclamation phase of the project resulted in the implementation of a suite of mitigation measures.
A primary critical path investigation was conducted to evaluate the ‘unmitigated’ impact of the damage to assist with the assessment of mitigation measures. Further detailed analysis of the contemporaneous project records was carried out to determine the eventual dominant cause of delay, identification of concurrent delay events, unrelated to the Damage event, and the date upon which the project would have commenced commercial operation had the storm damage not occurred. This analysis allowed for the successful negotiated settlement of the claim.
