Sustainability
Delays and disruptions (D&D) are considered chronic peculiarities of the construction phase of the built environment, especially in megaprojects. Systematic monitoring of claimable D&D causes becomes crucial for the contractors to compensate for their ...

Public Works Management & Policy, 1999
The U.S. General Accounting Office pegs the cost of the Boston Central Artery/ Tunnel (CA/T) Project at $10.8 billion and warns of increases. Public officials in Massachusetts fear that the very magnitude and complexity of this multibillion dollar megaproject creates a magnet for waste, fraud, and abuse of public funds.

Megaprojects, megateams and motivation
Physics World, 1994The size of experimental collaborations in high-energy physics has increased dramatically over the last two decades. In the early 1970s a "big" team might have numbered 50 scientists. A collaboration today at CERN's Large Electron–Positron (LEP) collider could involve 500.

Megaprojects and Risk provides the first detailed examination of the phenomenon of megaprojects. It is a fascinating account of how the promoters of multi-billion dollar megaprojects systematically and self-servingly misinform parliaments, the public and the media in order to get projects approved and built.

Keynote: Megaproject Execution
Proceedings of SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 2006Abstract In a global project environment where many large projects struggle to meet their cost and schedule targets, Saudi Aramco has been executing its world-class mega projects with ever shorter schedules, and well within budget. Of the five mega projects executed in the last ten years, two were selected as Project Management Institute

The modern history of resource development began in the 1800s at the onset of the mass-production phase of the Industrial Revolution. During the transition from an agrarian to an industrial-based exchange economy, discrete jumps occurred in the number and scale of resource projects.
