Integration of Constructability and Project Risk Management L. Farina, E. Danesi, A. Travaglini, Mauro Mancini and P. Trucco Abstract The research concerns the EPC world and Mega-Projects. The focus is on two disciplines: Risk Management and Constructability. An innovative inte- gration model is proposed, aiming to bridge the existing gaps, to support a struc- tured decision-making process and to facilitate the integration of the two disciplines characterised by different approaches and competences, but with a common target: the megaproject success. The validation of the model is carried out by mean of a cost/benefit analysis on four case studies of an EPC contractor (Saipem SpA). Keywords EPC contractor Á Construction Á Integration Á Constructability Á Project risk management 1 Introduction Nowadays EPC contractors have to deal with increasingly complex projects, characterized by fragmented and articulated processes. The development of appropriate tools and techniques is necessary to make the project management ef ficient and to avoid waste in terms of time and resources. Othman (2011) states that most of these problems can be overcome by implementing procedures that focus on techniques for the improvement of project quality and ef ficiency. In particular, the main arguments of this research are. Academics and practitioners have explored Project Risk Management (from now on PRM) and Constructability (two disciplines largely adopted by EPC contractors since the 90s) separately, but there is a big gap on their integration.
