What was at stake.
When construction started, a quarter of the easements were still being negotiated and the pumps had a long fabrication lead time. The draft schedule assumed continuous pipe laying from one end to the other.
What we did.
Beck Franklin's role: baseline development. We advise and measure; the contractor builds.
Easements in logic
Every unsigned easement became an activity with a need date, so pipe crews were never scheduled onto land the utility did not control.
Spreads by reach
The line was split into reaches with their own crews, so open land could proceed while easements closed.
Pump chain
Pump submittals, fabrication, factory testing and delivery were scheduled as one chain to the station start-up.
Monthly critical path
The driving path was reported monthly, with easement status shown beside it.
What the team delivered.
A pipeline schedule that ignores easements is a guess. We made every parcel an activity with a date.
