This is a team presentation, we presented, of our analysis on the "Channel Tunnel" (Euro tunnel) project, as our term project for the course "International Project Management & Professional Responsibility" of "Project Management" program.
2. HOW DO YOU BUILD AN UNDERSEA TUNNEL TO
CONNECT TWO COUNTRIES BY BRINGING TOGETHER
PRIVATE FIRMS AND THE GOVERNMENTS OF THESE
COUNTRIES THAT HAVE DIFFERENT LANGUAGES AND
CULTURE?

6. Project Background
Previous Attempts:
First time idea initiated
1802 Albert Mathieu - a cross-channel tunnel proposal
Involvement of Britain and France
A 1974 UK-France Governments. backed Scheme was
cancelled in 1975

27. Summary of Analysis
Measurement of the project against key success factors for PPPs
Key success factors include: Channel Tunnel Grading
1. Careful planning of PPP project
2. Solid revenue and cost estimate x
3. User willingness to pay and communication plan x
4. Extensive feasibility study with use of PPP experts
5. Compliance with contractual agreement
6. Appropriate Legal and Regulatory Framework
7. Strong Institutions with appropriate resources
8. Competitive and transparent procurement
9. Mitigation and flexibility in managing macro- risks
Source of Criteria: PMGT 428 (Centennial College) 27
28. What Went Wrong?
Design problems not identified at the start
Strict safety measures imposed by the IGC
Dispute over costs between Eurotunnel and TML
Delays from the parliamentary process
Financing difficulties
TML had clear conflicts of interest
Eurotunnel was created late in the process
Fragmentation of funding institutions
Poor risk analysis
28
29. What Went Right?
Strong political support by both the British and French
governments
Excellent management of cultural differences
Strong commitment to task in terms of completing the
tunnelling
Excellent fund raising strategy to finance the project
29
30. Conclusions
Political support provided a window of opportunity
There was not enough time for risk management plan
Risks and challenges were dealt with iteratively
Project did well based on PPP factors
Cost was the only hard constraint significantly affected
Project was successful to a large extent but the cost remain
to be paid
30
31. Recommendation for Future
Projects
Review past engineering studies
Protect the private partner against delays in political
decisions
Use conservative forecasting approach
Do detail risk analysis
