11. Some of Work package/activity Description:
Activity Definition
Soil Machine Studies & Topography
Maps
It includes the study of the dynamic properties of cement stabilized soil.
The application of topographic maps representation as a graphical of a detailed and accurate from
the geographical and natural features on the ground.
Land Preparation The cement manufacturing process starts from the mining of raw materials that are used in cement
manufacturing, mainly limestone and clays.
Subcontract Civil Constructions It is include the increase of the flexibility, the increment of the productivity and competitiveness, the
costs reduction and the transfer of risks through the delegation of activities to workers specialized in
their functions.
Procure Foreign Machinery and
Equipment
Foreign include the purchase of equipment that is through an agreement between the contractor and
the employer, according to pre-agreed conditions within the contract.

19. Probability of the risk occurring
The following table shows risk probability definitions. During risk
analysis the potential likelihood that a given risk will occur is assessed
and an appropriate risk probability is selected from the chart below.
20. Impact of risk on the project
The following table shows risk impact definitions across each of the
potentially impacted project areas (cost, schedule, scope and quality).
During risk analysis the potential impact of each risk is analyzed, and an
appropriate impact level is selected from the table below.
21. RISK ASSESSMENT
Evaluation the of risk rating is important to prioritize attention toward these risk.
Risk rating can be evaluated from probability of risk and risk impact to determine
whether it is low, moderate or high as shown in
25. 4.5 Risk Mitigation
Risk Mitigation identify ways to reduce the probability or the impact of the risk
events to an acceptance threshold. This may include adding tasks to the project
schedule, adding resources, etc. Some ideas to mitigate the risk listed below

28. Quality and Regulations
Include the processes required to ensure that the project will satisfy the needs for which it was undertaken. There are four key
components to comprehensively achieving project quality which include Quality Management Planning, Planning Quality
Measurement, Quality Assurance, and Quality Control.
Planning Quality Measurement
Quality criteria contain of gauges and measurements taking into account consistence with Request for Proposal (RFP)
and Service Request necessities, Requests for Offer (RFO) or other confirm customer desires and project goals.
Measures will incorporate
•Documentation Benchmarks
•Design Benchmarks
•Testing Benchmarks and Practices
•Quality Assurance Reviews
29. Quality Management Planning
Involves identifying which quality standards are relevant to the project and determining how to satisfy them, (PMBOK®).
Quality measurements will incorporate:
•Schedule and progress
•Resource and cost
•Process execution
•Product quality
•Conformance to prerequisites
•Technology effectiveness
• Customer satisfaction.
Quality Assurance
Quality assurance (QA) is a way of preventing mistakes or defects in manufactured products and avoiding problems when delivering
solutions or services to customers.
Control Quality
The project manager will use the following checkpoints to monitor project quality, and will provide detailed feedback to the project
sponsor concerning the audit and review results as defined in the communication plan.
1-Progress reviews
2-General building inspections
3-Testing
4-Code compliance
5-Final Inspections
6-One year warranty inspection
30. The Regulations Implement the Projects
Regulations are mandatory requirements that can apply to individuals, businesses, state or local
governments, non-profit institutions, or others.
Greenhouse Gas Framework
The federal government is moving rapidly to develop and introduce regulations under the
Federal Regulatory Framework for Industrial Air Emissions for greenhouse gas emissions.
Canada's cement manufacturing sector will be required to:
1- Reduce its greenhouse gas emissions intensity to 18% below 2006 levels by 2010.
2- Reduce its greenhouse gas emissions intensity an additional 2% per year.
Canada is the first jurisdiction globally to require drastic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions
from the cement industry.
Air Pollutants Framework
The Cement Association of Canada took a leadership role during the summer of 2007 in the establishment
of the Multi-Stakeholder Advisory Group to the Minister of Environment on the development of a federal
role for regulating air emissions. This group is made up of environmental non-government organizations,
industry associations, and health non-government organizations. These organizations are cooperating to
develop recommendations to the federal government on the shared goal of improving Canada's air quality.
31. Corporate Tax Regime
Canada's cement industry is facing increasing challenges to competitiveness,
These challenges include:
1- The rapid and continued appreciation of the Canadian dollar.
2- Increasing energy costs.
3- Increasing competition from emerging Asian economies
4- onerous regulatory environment.
A competitive business environment in Canada is central to the ability of
Canadian industrial sectors to compete in international markets and in with
international imports. A globally competitive tax framework is a central
component of a competitive business environment.
