Experience applied where it changes the outcome

Illustrative case-study profiles show the level of detail, structure and visual presentation intended for this section. They can be replaced with confirmed project facts when ready.

Illustrative portfolio

The examples below demonstrate the finished format only. Project names, facts and outcomes should be replaced with Gavin's confirmed experience before wider publication.

Mining & process02

Brownfield processing-plant upgrade

Client-side project management

Live operation14-month assignmentShutdown interface
The need

Construction and commissioning had to be integrated around restricted access and a fixed production shutdown.

Support

Coordinated engineering information, contractor readiness, risk actions and the integrated shutdown plan.

Illustrative result: clearer ownership of enabling work and stronger readiness evidence ahead of the shutdown gate.
Infrastructure03

Bulk-water network upgrade

Programme planning & interface management

42 km networkMulti-year programme11 delivery packages
The need

Design, permitting, servitudes and construction interfaces were being managed in separate contractor plans.

Support

Built an integrated programme, interface register and forward-look process for owner and contractor decisions.

Illustrative result: one agreed view of priorities, dependencies and the decisions affecting delivery confidence.
Energy04

Renewable-energy balance-of-plant assurance

Schedule assurance & reporting

Utility scaleGate-to-commissioningEPC interfaces
The need

Civil, electrical, grid and equipment programmes used different assumptions around access and energisation.

Support

Reviewed programme quality, aligned key milestones and focused reporting on commissioning and grid dependencies.

Illustrative result: a more credible forecast and earlier escalation of interface decisions on the critical path.
Property portfolio05

Capital portfolio governance reset

PMO setup & governance

26 active projects90-day resetPortfolio-wide
The need

Investment projects used inconsistent reporting, approval routes and definitions of project health.

Support

Introduced proportionate stage gates, standard dashboards, decision rights and a monthly portfolio review.

Illustrative result: faster executive visibility of investment exposure, delivery confidence and required decisions.
Construction06

Distribution-centre programme recovery

Independent review & recovery planning

Late-stage delivery8-week interventionFit-out & close-out
The need

The completion date was under pressure and work fronts, testing and client-supplied items were not integrated.

Support

Tested the remaining logic, rebuilt the completion plan and introduced short-cycle constraint management.

Illustrative result: an evidence-based recovery route with accountable actions and transparent completion risk.
