Introduction

In this report we will be discussing a scenario to which we will be analyzing strategies reduction of uncertainties and the management of associated risk. The report will discuss the problem faced during the construction project, and then we will discuss appropriate planning and management tools for the project.

The scenario chosen for this report is the construction of Heathrow Terminal. Heathrow Terminal 5 is certainly one of the most striking examples of airport architecture in the early twenty-first century, an important project in the works RSHP of the Centre Pompidou in 1970's and Lloyd's of London in 1980s (Taylor, 1974, 58).

It is designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour & Partners, BAA Terminal 5, with an investment of 6,100 million euros (4,300 million pounds), is the most important milestone in the modernization of Heathrow Airport. The terminal, with capacity for 35 million passengers per year will be the first path to the UK and will for the first time since 1984 to redefine the passenger traffic at the airport. T5, which opens next March 27, 2008, will be occupied by British Airways. The premiere terminal passengers come from a flight from Hong Kong on a BA plane. Estimated 40,000 passengers can pass through T5 on its first day of opening (Halpenny, 1992, 68). British airways wanted it to be technological advanced, so they decided to use fingerprint checks to speed up security. During the construction, this remarkable terminal faced many problems out of which few are discussed. Those problems were the reason why its opening was not smooth.Assess the business case for a projectDesign of Terminal 5

Terminal 5 consists of three main buildings: the main terminal building, Terminal 5 A and two smaller satellite buildings: Terminal 5 Terminal 5 B and C (the works he completed in 2010). The three are interconnected by an experimental system. Its design combines the functionality of a modern airport terminal with the best possible comfort for passengers with minimal environmental impact, easy maintenance and a world-class architecture.

The terminal building is arranged on different levels, reaching the exits at the top level under the impressive span deck unique (Gallop, 2005, 46). The roofs, along with the steel and glass facades, which have a slope of 6.5 degrees, give the building its unique perspective. In the departure lounge, passengers can check in any of the 96 self-service check stations or desks in the 140, including 96 positions Checkout. Construction

Terminal 5 is one of the most complex construction projects and larger Europe, but has been built on time and budget estimate. Besides the main building and two satellite buildings, includes 60 aircraft stands, a new control tower, a car park with 4,000 spaces, a new branch from the M25, the diversion of two rivers, and over 13 miles tunnels (Donne, 1982, 16). When completed works will be invested 40 million hours of work. BAA could not embark on a project of this magnitude without the challenge of safety in the ...
