Name: Douglas Goddard

Position: Project Manager

Employer: ERE Contracting WLL

Project: 44 West Bay Residential Tower – Doha Qatar

Contract: FIDIC Design & Build

By taking the client’s interests to heart and adopting an exceptionally positive and non-

adversarial approach, I successfully brought in this complex and fast-track fit-out. I

identified the maintenance of good client relationships as crucial to the project, while

managing expectations and keeping the client team always up to date with progress and

problems at bi-weekly meetings.

I also held meetings each morning with my management team to identify priorities,

manage information and delegate work. I managed the risk at all levels through look-

ahead meetings every week with the architect and every day with the subcontractors.

My quality control strategy included each subcontractor submitting a plan outlining their

quality objectives, as well as regular inspections and progressive snagging. By practical

completion, snagging was minimal and there were no outstanding works.

I was under no illusions as to how badly his employer wanted this contract to be a success.

An unsuccessful tender the year before for the client was seen as a major lost opportunity,

and this job was a chance to put ERE in the running for a large project that was in the

offing as well as a steady stream of other work.

But, just as the scheme got under way, the original project manager, who had been

instrumental in winning the deal, resigned. Douglas put his critical path analysis skills to

the test to prioritise the crucial design decisions the client needed to make. His inclusive

and persuasive approach allowed the project to progress in a controlled manner even with

the very late release of design information.

Douglas managed, delivered and met all the target dates. Always available, honest and

straightforward, he never tried to cover up issues from the client. His proactive and driven

approach solved issues fast without adding cost or time to the project and made a hugely

favourable impression.

Douglas ensured no issue ever escalated beyond the immediate client team by putting a great

deal of effort into onsite management. There were daily liaisons and regular reviews with the

client, ensured good communication with the client staff who remained onsite during the works.

And he introduced formal risk procedures into the project so that by the time the final phase

began, there were a full risk analysis, risk register and mitigation measures. These tools were

used to decide programme and costing and were reviewed monthly by senior management.

Douglas value-engineered a number of the works packages, re-sequencing to make savings on

preliminaries, and kept a full-time quantity surveyor onsite to measure the many variations that

arose as areas were opened up for scrutiny.

In an industry where teamwork is essential, Douglas led a team that turned in a highly

professional and profitable job that left the client well satisfied.

Douglas made it clear from the start that he wanted an open and trusting relationship with the

design team , and extended the same respect to the subcontractors. The contractors were made

part of the construction process in a way that few others might have wanted but which contributed

to a far better understanding.

This collaborative culture, driven by a group of extremely loyal colleagues who were very keen on

following Douglas onto this job, resulted in one of those projects that everyone regards as one of

the most enjoyable they have ever worked on.

Douglas embodied and inspired what can only be described as a passion for quality. Unprepared

to compromise on the design vision, he made quality samples, site visits and supplier

presentations to the architect and client an integral part of the tender process, and left

subcontractors in no doubt of his expectations.

He demonstrated superb technical understanding and judgement, taking the crucial decision to

proceed with single mobile provider, His successful control of the risks inherent in the innovative

single mobile provider solution saved a substantial amount of time and money.

EAST LONDON LINE

As a part of phase one of the extension project, the line is to be extended northwards from Whitechapel, with new stations created at Bishopsgate,

Hoxton, Haggerston and Dalston Junction. In phase 2, the line will be extended to run parallel to the North London Line, going through Canonbury and

terminating at Highbury & Islington, for interchange with the Victoria Line. The northern extension will require only about 4 km of new railway to be

constructed, as existing but disused trackbeds (principally the Broad Street viaduct) will be used for most of the distance.

14 refurbished stations with upgraded CCTV, passenger information systems and lighting, with staff on duty at all times trains are running and Oyster

facilities The £1 billion extension programme connects the former East London line with the National Rail network.

part of the construction process in a way that few others might have wanted but which

contributed to a far better understanding.

Douglas ran an effective and efficient team, communicating issues clearly to the client and all

the subcontractors. Crucially, he personally controlled the subcontractor interface and co-

ordinated the packages.

He used 3D computer modelling to detail actual and expected progress, which helped the team

address possible problems before they arose. And when faced with manufacturing delays for

essential switchgear and generators that would profoundly affect the programme, he developed

alternative strategies for the trades while maintaining delivery for testing and commissioning.

Aware that the critical nature of the highly technical services made quality key – Douglas

appointed only high-quality subcontractors and suppliers.

Douglas married construction, design and commercial intelligence with an irrepressible hard-edged

drive to overcome every problem thrown at him by this massive scheme. He fulfilled all the client’s

aspirations and left the project team with smiles on their faces.

There is rarely a silver bullet for a project running late. With numerous separate handovers making it

impossible to manipulate the critical elements, in effect, everything was critical. So Douglas put his

faith in the industry’s tried and trusted method for achieving success: he inspired the whole

construction team to pull together and recover the position through sheer hard work.

Douglas put his wit, warmth and will to work in a determined campaign for a teamwork ethos that

resulted in excellent relationships between the client and construction teams. Problems were aired

openly and solved amicably with no recourse to contractual confrontation.

He successfully value-engineered the scheme to bring it within budget and promote buildability.

The soft skills can be the hardest of all for project managers to master, but they were key to the

success of this project. Douglas’s exemplary management of relationships and ability to integrate a

highly diverse mix of stakeholders and team members delivered these Terminal 5 to a quality that

exceeded client expectations.

Appointed sole project manager for clients BAA and Heathrow as well as acting as WTL’s project

leader, Douglas integrated a team formed of many companies and operations; at its peak the project

had 50 stakeholders. His determination to take personal ownership and accountability and put the

needs of the project ahead of any company objectives inspired the entire team.

He set targets for all key trades, actively monitoring performance and making the results transparent,

which added to the peer pressure to perform. Weekly last-planner meetings analysed the previous

week’s targets to identify and remedy barriers to success and reasons for failure.

Douglas encouraged collaborative working, co-locating the production teams and aligning them with

the non-construction teams, such as air operations, flight connections, specialist systems,

maintenance and stand allocation. Regular consultation, weekly communication meetings and a

programme of site tours ensured everyone felt involved in the overall delivery of the project.

Storm Water Outfall Tunnel (SWOT)

The storm water outfall tunnel (SWOT) forms the drainage and pollution control system for surface water run-off from the T5 campus, to a reservoir 2km to

the south of the airport. At the southern end of the tunnel the run-off water passes through facilities that 'clean' it before it is discharged.

The SWOT is also a fundamental component in enabling BAA to recycle the run off water and re-use it in T5's non-potable water system. The tunnel and

infrastructure has been designed so that in T5's operational phase, clean water is pumped back up the tunnel and used in systems such as toilet flushes and

heating systems. The SWOT comprises a single bore tunnel, 4.1km in length.

Airside Road Tunnel (ART)

The 6.2km ART consists of two parallel single carriageways with a hard shoulder in two separate tunnel bores. Each tunnel has an internal diameter of 8.2m,

which is the equivalent width of two fire engines, and is connected via a series of cross passages designed to ensure the safe evacuation of vehicles or

people in the event of a vehicle accident in either tunnel.

Southern Taxiway and Apron Development (STAAD)

A total of 60 aircraft stands are being built for T5, covering an area of one million square metres. 33 stands will be connected to Concourse A and B via

airbridges, 14 of these have been designed to cater for the new Airbus A380. BAA specifically designed a high flexible strength concrete, which is thinner

than standard concrete, for the airfield pavements.

T5 Station

T5 has its own six-platform station beneath the main terminal building, allowing for easy and quick access directly into the new terminal. Two platforms will

serve the Heathrow Express, two serve the London Underground Piccadilly Tube line and two have been built and set aside to safeguard future

rail development.

Piccadilly line extension

The £200 million extension to Heathrow Piccadilly Line loop consists of two 2.2 kilometre tunnels and, like the Heathrow Express Extension, will provide a link

to the rail station in T5A’s basement. The new extension will branch off from the existing Heathrow loop which connects Terminals 1,2,3 and 4 with London.
