CASE STUDY: PROJECT MANAGEMENT
GPM was established in 2010 by three young entrepreneurs. You and two friends registered a closed corporation (GPM-Consultants cc), and the core deliverable (or service offered) is managing projects on behalf of medium to large organizations and enterprises.The assignment that needs to be submitted for marking is about you managing a project on behalf of a GPM-Consultant cc client: TECNI Wholesalers. TECNI Wholesalers' brief (what they want done) to you is as follows: TECNI Wholesalers is currently only operating in the major provinces of South Africa. These are – Gauteng, Western Cape, and KwaZulu-Natal. They have just completed a major investment process, and organisation expansion. TECNI Wholesalers has obtained the services of GPM-Consultants cc to manage 'Project Infiltration', which will result in TECNI Wholesalers operating in all nine provinces of South Africa, and increasing their supplier base from 68 retail stores to 850 retail stores country wide. TECNI Wholesalers currently has a staff complement of 147; 72 at the head office in Sandton, Gauteng, and 25 each in a distribution depot per province, and this includes the drivers. They have 14 medium-sized trucks for deliveries (6 in Gauteng, and 4 each in KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape). TECNI Wholesalers cc has allocated R4.8 million to 'Project Infiltration'. This amount includes GPM Consultants cc fee (10% of gross project value), with the following specifications: Setting up and staffing distribution depots in every one of the six provinces they are not currently operating in. This includes the expansion of head office to accommodate the servicing of the additional depots country wide.
 Suitable premises acquisition in Mpumalanga; Limpopo, Eastern Cape
 Suitable premises for rent, with a paid upfront 12 month contract
 Recruit suitable staffing requirement for each province
 Purchase suitable vehicles and trucks for each depot
 Furnish and equip depots
 Arrange for suitable insurance cover
TECNI Wholesalers has allocated an additional R5 million for stocking the warehouses with the products that they sell and distribute.

Informed by the forum and the assigned material, identify how oppositional cultural spaces around you are simultaneously separated and interconnected. Where is there evidence of borderlands? Of hybridity?

Problem 2: A rectangular concrete beam measures 350mm wide and has an effective depth of 425mm. Compression steel consisting of two # 25 is located 65mm from the compression face of the beam. If f ′ c=28MPa and fy = 420MPa, what is the design moment capacity of the beam, according to the ACI code, for the following alternative tensile steel area. (a) As = 3 # 32 bars in one layer, (b) As = 5 # 29 in two layers, (c) As = 6 # 32 bars in two layers? (Note: check for yielding of compression in each case.).

City Q has an average water consumption of 22000 m3 / day. Jar tests have indicated that 33 mg / L of hydrated aluminum sulphate "alum" [Al2 (SO4) 3.14H2O] is the optimum dosage required to treat the water supply to this town. The additional alkalinity used is HCO3-. The natural alkalinity in the untreated water source is 57 mg / L as CaCO3. Use the coagulation reaction to:
a. Determine the amount of coagulant used per day (in kg / day)
b. Determine the amount of precipitant generated per day (in kg / day).
c. How much alkalinity is being consumed during the coagulation / flocculation process (in mg / L CaCO3)? Is the natural alkalinity level adequate?

correct statement about contaminant transport?

1. Advection refers to contaminant transport with flowing water.
2. Both diffusion and mechanical disperion are associated with concentration gradient.
3. Sorption refers to the process of contaminants sorbed to the solid phase.
4. Sorption process follows a linear sorption isotherm in the range of high concentration of contaminant.

(e) Discuss how the systems approach could be used to carry out any task at that phase.

(f) What role do analytical tools play in the use of the systems approach to carry out that task?

          (g) What feedback does the engineer typically provide to engineers at the preceding phases?

Select the incorrect statements about the flexible wall permeameter.

1. Principle stresses are controlled.
2. Sidewall leakage is avoided.
3. Chemical reaction may take place between membrane and liquid in soil samples.
4. All of above.

1. Select the correct statement about mechanisms responsible for stress cracking in geomembrane (GM).

Consider a 400-MW, 32 percent efficient coal-fired power plant that uses cooling water withdrawn from a nearby river (with an upstream flow of 10-m³/s and temperature 20 °C) to take care of waste heat. The heat content of the coal is 8,000 Btu/lb, the carbon content is 60% by mass, and the sulfur content is 2% by mass.

1. How much electricity (in kWh/yr) would the plant produce each year?
2. How many pounds per hour of coal would need to be burned at the plant?
3. Estimate the annual carbon emissions from the plant (in metric tons C/year).
4. Convert the carbon emissions to g C/kJ of energy produced. Compare your answer to that in Problem 2.7 of Homework 3 for petroleum combustion, and Example 2-3 for methane combustion. Comment on why coal is considered the “dirtiest” fossil fuel!
5. If the cooling water is only allowed to rise in temperature by 10 °C, what flow rate (in m³/s) from the stream would be required? Is this sustainable? What would you recommend?
6. What would be the river temperature if all the waste heat was transferred to the river water assuming no heat losses during transfer? Would that be a problem? Why or why not.
7. Estimate the hourly SO₂ emissions (in kg/h) from the plant assuming that all the sulfur is oxidized to SO₂during combustion.
8. What would be the problem in releasing SO₂ to the atmosphere? Is sulfur dioxide a regulated priority pollutant? If yes, report the NAAQS?
9. How would you propose to remove sulfur dioxide at the power plant?
10. Report on the required efficiency (in removal %) of the SO₂ scrubber, if the plant is only allowed to emit the legal limit of 0.6 lb SO₂ per million Btu of heat input.
11. How much particulate matter could be released (in kg/year particulates) if the plant met New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) that limit particulate emissions to 0.03 lb per 10⁶ Btu heat?
12. Comment on the sources of particulates in the plant emissions? We have seen a dramatic decrease in particulate emissions since the 1970 Clean Air Act. How are particulate emissions controlled at stationary sources?
