A Techno-Economic Case Study on the Project Management of the Hoover Dam
Description

Dr. Sarvesh Swarup former Deputy Director General Ministry of commerce and industry Govt of India. My cadre is central engineering services. An engineer by basic qualification, I hold a Masters Diploma in Public Administration and PhD in Foreign Trade from University of California. I have worked in India and abroad on prestigious senior level positions and have to my credit techno economic experience of over 35 years.

With Project Management as an area of expertise and interest, I visited the world renowned HOOVER DAM project and studied the construction related documents, focussing on the various management tools adopted towards its construction. HOOVER DAM is a project management marvel as the project was constructed under extreme adverse geographic and climatic conditions. Therefore by improvising time and cost effective management tools, construction time was reduced from seven years to five years, more than 75 years ago.
