CW Milestones Part-2 - Work Package Status

Work Package (WP) is set of documents mainly containing following documents

  • Detailed Engineering Drawings (DEDs)
  • Civil Works' Technical Site Survey Report (CW TSSR)
  • Radio Frequency and Transmission Planning Technical Site Survey Report (RF-TR TSSR)
  • Site Acquisition Report
  • Geotechnical or Soil Investigation Report (If applicable)
  • Structural Feasibility Report (If applicable – Required for Rooftop sites only)
  • Any other document as mutually agreed after negotiation

WP should be approved by customer's Site Design Team before
 start of CW. And although at his stage, that is the WP being approved by Customer and handed over to CW by Design team, the DEDs have been many times being reviewed by various engineer. The CW Engineer who is going to kick-off  the site has to do one last cross checking of DEDs to see if any technical ambiguity is there. By doing this it means that to check if the data placed in all different WP documents and other sources of information is supporting each other or against each other. For example, tower shown in drawings is of 45m but the maximum antenna height is 29m. And you already know that in your project tower of 30 m height is also available. Then this needs to be clarified by design team as to why 45m tower is being used. And if found such an ambiguity, it has to be immediately reported to concerned persons. Remember, self accountability within a team and among various teams of a project is one of its greatest strength. The teams and projects, who fail to achieve it, often fail to achieve their targets within either due time or budgets.

Thoroughly study the WP before CW kickoff and inform sub-contracting partner any special features e.g. retaining wall, Dewatering, SA Issues, and Pilling. This is required so that it should prepare itself and arrange necessary resources.
