Project Overview
This design and build contract will reconstruct the 90 year old existing structure at the tidal berth on the Middle Slip Jetty at Her Majesty's Naval Base Portsmouth.
Once complete this modern 21st century mooring will house the new Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers. Works include new power facilities, installing new navigation beacons, dredging millions of tonnes of mud, along with the demolition and re-build of the existing jetty.
How we made a difference
Plan Ahead supported the project on a part-time basis working closely with the team to develop and assist them with understanding the build sequence of the project.
We actively sought information and led on-site meetings with subcontractors to understand progress and resource levels.
In addition, we prepared the contract programme and then managed the live programme to ensure the berth was completed for the QEC vessel arrival. We supported the team successfully by demonstrating prolongation and acceleration measures.
