Demonstrate the ability to apply knowledge of one aspect of project management

ENGD2010 Project Management (2017/18)
(Resit coursework)
Objective:
Demonstrate the ability to apply knowledge of one aspect of project management
(risk management) in a case study.
Tasks to be undertaken:
You have been approached to:
1. Research and select an appropriate technology to produce sanitary hot water for
a small hotel (three floors, 20 guest rooms, one small kitchen) in Nairobi in Kenya
using solar energy.
2. Conduct a risk management plan for the installation and operation of the selected
system.
The contractor has asked you to provide a technical report including the following:

Technical description of the solar energy system. Please include
information about:
o Justification of the selection of the particular system
o Stages or components (including ancillary equipment, if
appropriate)
o Potential dimensions of the system (e.g. capacity, volume of
heated water, etc.)
o Basic explanation on how the systems work (e.g. solar input,
temperature of the sanitary hot water, etc.)
Maximum length of the section: 1 page		 Mark: 20%
Describe any industry standards or legislation relevant in Kenya
related to the installation and operation of this type of solar energy
system (or regarding their inputs and/or outputs, if appropriate)
Maximum length of the section: half page		 Mark: 10%
Conduct a risk assessment for the installation and operation
phases of the selected solar hot water technology. Include:
o Hazard identification (as comprehensive as possible, i.e.
physical, mechanical, electrical, work practices,
environmental, hazardous substances, handling, fire
hazards, etc.)
o Risk rating (likelihood and severity) – justify your rating
Maximum length of the section: 2 pages		 Mark: 30%

 

Suggest risk mitigation measures for all hazards you identified in
both phases
 Re-calculate the risk rating to demonstrate the minimisation of
risks.
Maximum length: 2 pages		 Mark: 30%
Conclusions: summarise the main findings of your risk assessment
and provide some design recommendations that could minimise the
identified risks. For example, changes in the design of the selected
technology, type of materials of its components, etc.
Maximum length: half page		 Mark: 10%

DO:
 Use tables for comparative purposes.
 Use bullet points to bring out the key points.
 Material from sources should be properly referenced and a list of references
given at the end of the document.
 Provide complete references for web pages (i.e. include author/organisation, title
of the web page, web link and accessed date)
 Write the report in the past tense and the third person impersonal.
DON’T:

X Use abbreviations which are not defined.
X Use unsubstantiated opinions
X Write in any form of phone texting language or spelling
X Use Wikipedia as your main source of information
