  1. During today's webinar on Australian Capital Projects – Risk Management, Project Controls and COVID-19 Pedram Danesh-Mand mentioned some useful references for calculating contingency and escalation in projects. I've posted them here for easy reference.

    Risk Engineering Society Contingency Guideline: https://rebok.engineersaustralia.org.au/search/?q=contingency&quick=1

    Australian Government Cost Estimation Guide: https://investment.infrastructure.gov.au/about/funding_and_finance/cost_estimation_guidance.aspx

    Pedram also mentioned some guidelines for escalation from the AACEI, which he recommended as a secondary reference for Australian projects. The full documents are only accessible to AACE members, but links to samples are below:

  2. The recordings for our last two webinars are now available!

    You can access all of our previous webinar recordings at this link: https://rebok.engineersaustralia.org.au/webinar_records.html/

  3. The World Economic Forum (WEF) has recently released a report examining the economic consequences and risk resulting from the global COVID-19 Pandemic. A summary of key findings from the WEF website is below.

    Quote

    Based on the perceptions of 350 of the world’s top risk professionals, a thorough analysis of early evidence and trends, and the collective knowledge of the Global Risks team and its partners (Marsh & McLennan and Zurich Insurance Group), the report identifies four key areas of concern:

    • Economic Shifts: Emerging Risks from Structural Change
    • Sustainability Setbacks: Emerging Risks from Stalling Progress
    • Societal Anxieties: Emerging Risks from Social Disruptions
    • Technology Dependence: Emerging Risks from Abrupt Adoption

    You can download the full report at this link. https://www.weforum.org/reports/covid-19-risks-outlook-a-preliminary-mapping-and-its-implications

  4. We're gearing up to deliver a series of lunchtime webinars on topics of interest to the REBOK community starting in May. In the meantime, R2A Due Diligence Engineers have kindly allowed us to include a link to the recording of their webinar Introduction to Engineering Due Diligence which you can view here.

    If you would like to nominate as a presenter or have any topic suggestions please email Jackson Jones, the REBOK community facilitator (Rebok@engineersaustralia.org.au)

     

  5. Engineers Australia has posted a checklist developed by the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC) and international law firm Hogan Lovells to address concerns raised by industry. They give the following disclaimer: "Whilst FIDIC does not provide legal advice on any of our standard procurement contract forms, we believe that the check list provided below will be useful as a starting point for any business in addressing the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their current projects." https://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/node/51486

  6. One of the objectives of REBOK is to explore the essence and boundaries of risk engineering. To that end, we have been working on a FAQ page that explores what risk engineering is and how it relates to different engineering disciplines, project and risk management. It would be great to get the conversation started about what risk engineering means to other members of the REBOK Community. Comments and input welcome.
