Description
The objective of this course is to equip participants with the practical knowledge and skills needed to professionally manage construction activities on-site.This course will cover the essential tools and strategies for effective construction management. Key topics include implementing and controlling time schedules, understanding lean construction principles, and applying Total Quality Management (TQM). We’ll also dive into cost control techniques, using real-world examples to demonstrate how to monitor and manage project expenses effectively.
Resource allocation strategies will be explored, focusing on optimizing workforce size while staying within budget. As contracts and procurement are often major challenges in construction projects, we'll discuss various strategies to manage these processes and find optimal solutions. A key focus will be on applying the right quality management system, including how to conduct quality control for concrete and steel structures. The methods of QC for concrete and steel will be discuss in detail.
Effective communication is critical in large-scale projects, where managing a workforce of hundreds or even thousands of employees require strong communication systems and skills. This course will provide practical tips for improving communication management in such environments. All our courses will discuss the practical ways with strong theoretical background.
Additionally, attendees will receive a free eBook covering 100 Q&A for PMP preparation.
Who this course is for:
- site engineers, project engineers, civil engineers, mechanical, electrical engineers
Instructor
Mohamed A. El-Reedy's background is in structural engineering. His main area of research is the reliability of concrete and steel structures. He has provided consulting to different engineering companies and oil and gas industries in Egypt and to international companies such as the International Egyptian Oil Company (IEOC) and British Petroleum (BP). Moreover, he provides different concrete and steel structure design packages for residential buildings, warehouses, and telecommunication towers and electrical projects with WorleyParsons Egypt. He has participated in Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and Natural Gas Liquid (NGL) projects with international engineering firms.Currently, Dr. El-Reedy is responsible for reliability, inspection, and maintenance strategy for onshore concrete structures and offshore steel structure platforms. He has performed these tasks for hundreds of structures in the Gulf of Suez in the Red Sea.
Dr. El-Reedy has consulted with and trained executives at many organizations, including the Arabian American Oil Company (ARAMCO), bp, Apachi, Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Company (ADMA), the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, and King Saudi's Interior ministry, Qatar Telecom, the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation, Saudi Arabia Basic Industries Corporation, the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, and Qatar Petrochemical Company (QAPCO). He has taught technical courses about repair and maintenance for reinforced concrete structures and the advanced materials in concrete industry worldwide, especially in the Middle East.
Dr. El-Reedy has written numerous publications and has presented many papers at local and international conferences sponsored by the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Concrete Institute, the American Society for Testing and Materials, and the American Petroleum Institute. He has published many research papers in international technical journals and has authored many books published worldwide about offshore structures, advanced materials in concrete construction and corrosion of reinforced concrete structure, Construction management and design of industrial concrete and steel structures and Project management for industrial projects. He received his bachelor's degree from Cairo University in 1990, his master's degree in 1995, and his Ph.D from Cairo University in 2000.
