Special Article Series on Dispute Boards: Quantification and Substantiation of Contractual Claims
|
Starting this month, we are fortunate enough to begin a series of articles written by Dispute Board Federation member Mark Entwistle (FDBF) on Quantification and Substantiation of Contractual Claims-
principally in construction and engineering- as well as some of the more difficult and challenging aspects of Dispute Boards within this context.
The series will cover four key subject areas:
- Additional head/home office overhead recovery
- Claims arising from disruption or unproductive working
- Additional site set-up/preliminaries charges
- Interest/financing charge recovery
Several particular aspects of quantum claims will be discussed using the FIDIC Red Book of contracts as a model (although all other FIDIC Contracts can be taken as following the same model so far as financial recovery for claims is concerned).
Mark Entwistle (Barrister and Quantity Surveyor) is a Fellow of the DBF and is listed in the FIDIC President's List of Approved Adjudicators. He will be pleased to address any questions or issues arising out of this paper.

Project of the Month: Iceland's Super Dam
|
|
Iceland's Kárahnjúkar Electric Project
|
In a land known for volcanoes, glaciers and very few people,the Kárahnjúkar Electric Project has been Iceland's most ambitious infrastructure mega-project.
Using the power of two rivers that eventually combine into one sparked the beginning of this effort to produce more energy, which resulted in the creation of the Kárahnjúkar Super Dam. Once completed, the entire project was actually comprised of three dams, a mega-piping system and finally a hydro-electric generator plant.
The trio of dams are located in the mountains of east Iceland and include the Desjara Dam, Saudardal Dam, and the main dam (and largest) - the Kárahnjúkar. Construction started in 2003 and was completed in 2009.
