The application of risk response matrix in the sewerage’s projects

Surveys, documentation reviews and direct observation on the building sites point to a number of "exposures", which can have a negative influence on the sewerage's projects completion. Such exposure occur at every stage of the project. The most important among them are errors in the construction project, materials' defects and damages and disadvantageous meteorological conditions. They cause a high level of quality, schedule and cost risk. Risk response development can lower the level of risk. In this paper a risk response matrix was used to achieve this purpose. This technique is used in a risk management plan. The activities, which allow the achievement of a lower frequency of risk and reduction in their consequence have to be determined by this technique. This paper indicates that activities based on risk avoidance and mitigation have their best application in sewerage's projects. These include: tightening contractor selection's criteria, a detailed contract and contingency reserves. Analysis of risk response development indicates that to lower levels of quality, schedule and cost risk throughout a project suitable action should be taken as early as at the planning phase and the contract stage.     ...

Development of water and wastewater infrastructure in Lublin province in 2000-2011

The paper presents analyzes the development of water and sewage infra-structure in the Lublin province in 2000-2010. In addition, based on the results of surveys carried out in 70 selected municipalities province, presents the state of the basic elements of water and sewage infrastructure in 2011. Found a large disparity between the development of water supply and sanitation in rural of Lublin province in the first decade of the twenty-first century. It was noted that in 2011 in selected municipalities of the region (mainly rural) water supply system has benefited 84.8% of the population, and the sewerage system only 18.6%. In the years 2000-2010 in the Lublin province has been gradual progress the construction of sewerage systems, and particularly in the case of collective and sewage treatment plants, which was possible mainly thanks to EU funds acquired by local governments. In the analyzed period, the collective biological waste water treatment plants were the most commonly used, in the case of household objects - infiltration drainage systems. ...
