| Abstract | Hydropower is the best alternative way to generate power and possesses many positive properties, such as renewable, clean, reliable and flexible characteristics. For the development of hydropower, underground works are planned and included in hydropower projects, purposing for river diversion, headrace tunnel, surge and vertical shaft, powerhouse cavern. In general, underground and tunnel structures are considered as one of the most important sources of cost and planning risk for projects due to unseen geological conditions. Underground works in hydropower projects help cost reduction in construction, the sake of project safety, the best financial benefits in the facility management, and socialenvironmental benefits. However, the tunnels in the poor geological areas suffer from many complicated disruptions leading to a collapse that teaches many lessons in hydroelectric power projects in Myanmar for underground work. In the review of this report, the strengths and weaknesses in the performance of the EPC project management in relation to the contract activities Yellow Book-FIDIC such as manufacturing, design, procurement and construction. A concrete recommendation on the enhancement of the quality of underground work EPC project management in hydropower projects with regard to coherent EPC project management and implementation in the future will be made based on discussion regarding strengths and faults in this task. In addition, any party involved in the project must exercise the FIDIC contract and enhanced project management must be carried out in time, within budget, without disagreement and in the required performance. Keywords: Enhancing project management performance, FIDIC contract (Yellow Book), design and construction of underground works, upper Yeywa hydropower project, engineering, procurement and construction (EPC). |
