shows a negative 169 day float in the project schedule, with the critical path running through the
Building power-up, and commissioning and training activities. This is a 1.5 month improvement
compared to what was reported on the last update, primarily due to improvements in implementation
of solutions to electrical correction notices. Turner and Port staff are collaborating to remove the
remaining obstacles to project power-up, along with implementing schedule revisions to perform
concurrent commissioning and training activities to recover lost time. In addition, staff has authorized
selective overtime for critical path activities.
