01Project context

Planning the rail connection.

My work at DB InfraGO concerns Lübeck and planning approval sections 1.1 and 1.2 of the German Fehmarnbelt rail connection. Project controls bring the parallel planning activities into a coordinated basis for construction preparation.

The task

Design, approvals and construction preparation often run in parallel. The schedule must reflect how these activities depend on one another, while making changes and emerging risks clear to everyone involved.

02My responsibilities

The responsibilities described here were carried out within the named organisation and project team.

  1. 01

    Develop and align Microsoft Project schedules, tracking milestones and dependencies between planning stages.

  2. 02

    Combine schedule, cost, risk and planning information into reports that inform project decisions.

  3. 03

    Coordinate inputs from internal disciplines, external designers and construction partners, including work needed to prepare sites for construction.
