| Abstract | The construction industry is very easy to differentiate from other industries as this field is full of risk due to the interference of multiple parties at the site during the construction. When it comes to Sri Lankan construction industry, it has a very bad reputation in dealing with the changes and risks. The study area which have selected for the study is located in the North western province of Sri Lanka and it is located in the intermediate zone which receive an annual rainfall of 1,750mm 2,500mm and also a renowned area for chronic kidney disease of unknow (CKDu) which later found the cause as the water. To minimize number of CKDu patients the National Water Supply and Drainage Board of Sri Lanka has started several water supply projects in North western province of Sri Lanka. Main objective of this study is to assess the risk in water supply projects in Sri Lanka. To achieve the main objective, three steps were followed as identifying major risk factors, examine the approaches made by contractor and consultant in risk management and suggest ways to improve risk management in water supply projects. Data collection was done using questionnaires, conducting semi- structured interviews and collecting secondary information from the consultants. From the severity index it was able to find that both parties are concerned about the long procedures that they have to follow in obtaining permits throughout the project duration which affects negatively on the project cost, duration and quality targets and also it was concluded that expertise and top level management prefer t-o use their experience, personal judgement and updates on the project information in preventing or mitigating unexpected risk events. |
