Don’t let the elegance of the $135-million, 1,720-ft cable-stayed Tilikum Crossing bridge in Portland distract you from the ingenuity that occurred before construction even started, in 2011, on Portland’s first bridge over the Willamette River since 1973. Thanks to the machinations of Dan Blocher, TriMet executive director of capital projects, the longest bridge of its type—dedicated only to buses, streetcars, light rail, pedestrians and bicyclists—opened in September 2015 on time and under budget.
Blocher召集了多个行业领导者在申请临时阶段之前就风险，成本和风险控制进行对话，这标志着这一水平在此级别上首次采用了风险矩阵。新利18备用官网登录
“这是非常独特的，非常有孔思考，”负责Tilikum Crossing项目的Kiewit基础设施区经理Lee Zink说。“起初，它与众不同，我们不知道该怎么做。”
The matrix included everything, from dollar values to who should carry risk. Early on, risks materialized when foundation work on a bridge support had different-than-expected conditions at the site. Using the matrix out of the gate allowed for fair implementation, Zink observes. “In hindsight, it was a win-win for the project,” he says. “I’ve had other clients since then that I wish would listen more to TriMet about the whole approach to dealing with contractors.”
Blocher说，该过程“允许直接解决问题，而无需考虑项目时机或扩展开销。”
Blocher knew his approach was innovative. “We really believed that we had to break new ground and push the industry limits to make sure we had the successful project we needed,” he says. “The industry responded really positively to it. We tapped into a need and movement to have owners seeking contractor input early to make the project even-handed and transparent.”
