Decommissioning Planning

MOTA has a broad base of planning capabilities and experience from program planning to task specific work instructions. MOTA's approach to decommissioning planning results in the development of immediately usable planning/execution products which eliminate schedule delays, support accelerated closure and cleanup initiatives, and allow the client to remain fully focused on project execution.

MOTA's Philosophy on Detailed Project Planning:

n D&D projects are unique by nature, requiring analysis and evaluation of low-level details. They require tailored solutions for specific problems.

n D&D projects present interrelated challenges. Multiple solutions must be evaluated, allowing for the selection of the most "implementable" solution.

n D&D projects are successfully executed through consistent and rigorous use of proven planning tools, such as work breakdown structures, logic network diagrams, and detailed task-specific work packages.

Planning Capabilities:

n Comprehensive Sampling and Analysis Plans

n Historical Operations Hazards Maps

n Project Work Breakdown Structures & Logic Networks

n Integrated Baseline Schedules & Cost Estimates

● Cost estimate developed using a "bottom up" estimating methodology

● Detailed work packages define the project scope and form the basis for the schedule and cost estimate

n Project Execution Plans

n Procurement Plans

n Scope of Work Specifications

n Procedures and Work Instructions

n Risk Assessments

Key Success Factors:

n Preparation and assembly of project information prior to activities.

n Adoption of accepted and proven successful project development processes.

● Former Employee/Retiree Interview Process

● Historical Operations Hazards Mapping

● Historical Review Process

n Dedication of project liaisons (both client and MOTA) to work collaboratively to ensure success - Think TEAM!

n Adoption of project development process improvements/lessons learned for application on future project planning.
