WC1 – Project Management

WC1 Work Breakdown Structure

Work Category 1 (WC1) provides the project management framework that keeps the North Area Consolidation project on track from planning through to delivery. Rather than focusing on a single technical domain, it ensures that schedules, resources, procurement, documentation and technical coordination are aligned across the project, enabling the different work categories to progress in a coherent and transparent manner.

The work spans the full lifetime of the project. It starts with establishing the project baseline, planning activities and allocating resources before supporting procurement, financial monitoring and administrative processes. Throughout the project, WC1 coordinates technical interfaces, monitors progress and risks, and provides the governance structures required to support informed decision-making and efficient execution.

By bringing together project planning, budget management, procurement, technical coordination and project office activities, WC1 provides the organisational backbone of the North Area Consolidation project, helping ensure that technical work packages remain aligned and that the project is delivered on time, within budget and according to its objectives.

The work packages are:

WP 1.1: Planning and Control
WP 1.2: Budget & Resources
WP 1.3: Procurement
WP 1.4: Project Office
WP 1.5: Technical Coordination

WP 1.1 Planning and Control

WP 1.1 – Planning and Control provides the planning and monitoring framework for the North Area Consolidation project. It maintains the master schedule, tracks milestones, coordinates planning activities and monitors project risks, ensuring that progress remains aligned with the project’s objectives and timeline.

WP 1.2 Budget and Resources

WP 1.2 – Budget and Resources oversees the financial and resource management of the North Area Consolidation project. By monitoring the project baseline, budget and workforce, and through medium-term planning and Earned Value Management (EVM), it ensures that resources remain aligned with the project’s objectives and delivery schedule.

WP 1.3 Procurement

WP 1.3 – Procurement manages the procurement activities of the North Area Consolidation project. It oversees the full procurement process, from market surveys and invitations to tender to purchasing and contract follow-up, ensuring the timely acquisition of goods and services in line with the project’s technical requirements, schedule and budget.

WP 1.4 Project Office

WP 1.4 – Project Office provides the administrative support for the North Area Consolidation project. It maintains project documentation, coordinates meetings and governance activities, and ensures that key project information remains organised, accessible and up to date.

WP 1.5 Technical Coordination

WP 1.5 – Technical Coordination ensures the technical coordination across the North Area Consolidation project. It brings together the different technical domains through dedicated coordination bodies and working groups, ensuring that activities remain aligned throughout the project and contribute to a coherent technical design.
