Analysis of power plant construction lead times. Volume 2. Supporting documentation and appendixes. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5042686
This study was a two year research project to develop information about construction lead times, the underlying causes of long lead times and schedule delays, and potential alternatives for controlling delays and reducing lead times. This study focuses on lead times and costs that are time-related (escalation and interest during construction). Its objective is to develop information about construction lead times, the underlying causes of long lead times and schedule delays, and potential alternatives for controlling construction delays and reducing lead times. The study utilized both quantitative and qualitative methods to isolate causal factors and to understand how power plant construction lead times have changed and what the underlying forces driving these changes have been.
