A Survey on the Risk Management in Water Transmission Projects (Case Study: Kurdistan Regional Water Company)

Delay is defined as a difference time between anticipated time and real time to complete the project. The aim of this study was to identify delay risk factors in water lines and offer an outline solution in the projects to reduce the delay time. For this purpose, a delayed case was studied in Kurdistan intubation in order to identifying and prioritizing delayed projects criteria while they are identifies and extracted. Delays factors are determined and prioritized in the six-step methodology and analytic hierarchy process based on five factors including: employee, consultant, contractor, independent of tubing and other external factors. Analysing the data, the results helped to identify and measure the effects of each of the identified risks on project objectives (time, cost, quality). The results showed that the most important key risks affecting the project's main objectives are as follows: poor planning done by contractor of the project, the quality of financial risks, including inflation and risks, the loss of channels drilling and loss of redrilling.
