Abstract
Eskom is constantly responsible for the management of capital construction projects in order to sustain their assets and increase their generation capacity. Front end planning (FEP) is an important phase before the execution of the project, as it determines the scope of the project to be executed. Failure to have well defined scope leads, to scope deviations during execution that results in escalated cost and delays in the schedule. Eskom adopted PDRI as part of FEP in order to improve the scope definition level. PDRI is a tool designed by CII in order to quantify the level of scope definition through the FEP. This research is conducted to evaluate the impact of integrating PDRI on FEP for capital coal projects.
