Planning, Scheduling & Contracts Management for NHAI 10 km Road Projects under HAM Contracts online course for NHAI ENGINEERS AND MANAGERS AND CONTRACTORS

Planning, Scheduling & Contracts Management for NHAI 10 km Road Projects under HAM ContractsA Comprehensive Online Course for NHAI Engineers, Project Managers & Contractors

Delivering a 10 km stretch of highway under the Hybrid Annuity Mode (HAM) requires more than technical expertise in earthworks and pavement design. It demands a deep understanding of the entire project lifecycle—from initial planning through to operation & maintenance—alongside rigorous contract administration to safeguard time, cost and quality. Recognizing these needs, Bhadani’s Quantity Surveying & Estimation Billing Planning Training Institute for Civil Engineers has developed an in-depth online program:“Planning, Scheduling & Contracts Management for NHAI 10 km Road Projects under HAM Contracts.”

Priced at ₹20,500 (inclusive of a 16.33% discount and ₹20,500 validity for 200 days) and backed by 4 Bhadani Institute Coins as cashback, the course equips NHAI engineers, project managers, and EPC contractors with the tools, techniques and templates to deliver highway projects efficiently and compliantly. Below, we explore why this course matters, how it’s structured, and who stands to benefit most.

Why This Course Matters

The Challenges of HAM Road Projects

Under the National Highways Authority of India’s HAM framework, the government shares 40% of project cost through annuity payments while the private partner covers the balance 60% upfront, repaid over a 15-year concession period. This hybrid model mitigates financing risk but adds layers of complexity:

• Phased Funding & Cash Flows: Balancing construction outlays against staggered government annuities.

• Strict Milestone Payments: Meeting defined deliverables on schedule to trigger payments—and avoid penalties.

• Maintenance Obligations: Sustaining road quality over the 15-year O&M phase requires forward-looking resource planning.

• Regulatory & Contractual Nuances: Navigating NHAI guidelines, arbitration clauses and performance bonds demands precision.

Without robust planning, scheduling and contract-management skills, projects can spiral into delays, cost overruns and disputes.

A One-Stop Solution

This 20-module program goes beyond theory, blending NHAI-specific insights with universal project-management principles. You’ll gain:

1. Hands-On Templates & Checklists – Downloadable trackers, risk registers, and claim forms ready for immediate application.

2. Real-World Scenarios – Learn from case studies: handling monsoon delays, utility-relocation claims, or shift from EPC to HAM.

3. End-to-End Coverage – From initial scope definition (Module 3) to project closeout and handover (Module 20), every phase is mapped.

4. Industry-Standard Tools – Master CPM, PERT, Primavera P6 and Excel-based scheduling in the NHAI context.

By course end, you’ll spearhead 10 km HAM road projects with confidence—delivering on time, on budget and to specification.
