AIM OF THE PROJECT

Sustainable landfill gas management project was about providing solutions for energy through providing sustainable and cost effective energy. The Project's goal was to propose and implement various construction techniques to aid in the development of energy-efficient, low-cost renewable energy to replace gas energy.Waste gas is a byproduct of biological landfill decomposition. LFG is made up of roughly half methane (a key component of natural gas), half carbon dioxide (CO2), and a trace of non-methane molecules (Vaverková, 2019). Methane is a 28- to 36-times more efficient greenhouse gas than CO2 at capturing atmospheric heat over a 100-year period. Instead of being released into the atmosphere, LFG can be caught, transformed, and used as a renewable energy source. Green technology blends energy-saving and energy-efficient solutions with energy-efficiency prospects.

My role in Project

I was hired as a Communication lead for a construction company. My responsibilities included evaluating the Project's performance, monitoring the Project's progress, and managing the Project's resources, among other duties. In addition, I was in charge of gathering project-related information and putting together communication materials for the Project. It is important to me as a project manager that team members are involved in completing their assignments. Knowing that I am working with some of the world's most prestigious corporations gives me a sense of accomplishment as I go about my day.

Challenges I faced.

During the planning phase of our Project, we gave careful consideration to a wide range of aspects, always bearing in mind that the Project ought to be both economical and kind to the natural world, as well as durable. According to Srivastava and Chakma's research from 2020, the design process is implemented when breaking down a large project into more manageable parts. Architects, engineers, scientists, and several other types of experts use major design techniques in order to tackle a large variety of different types of challenges. In order to accomplish the intended outcome with our project, we examined a singular design that made use of a variety of different design software and employed methods that required fewer resources, such as sustainable landfill gas management. When it came time to put the project into action, we deliberated over a number of different possibilities in an effort to reduce the overall cost of our Project to a minimum.

Project design process

The design process is used when dividing a large project into manageable components. Design techniques are used by architects, engineers, scientists, and other experts to solve a wide range of problems (Srivastava and Chakma, 2020). During the design process, our Project considered a variety of factors, keeping in mind that the Project should be cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and long-lasting. In our project, we considered a single design that used different design software and used less expensive techniques such as sustainable landfill gas management to achieve the desired result. During the implementation phase, we considered a variety of options for implementing it to keep the overall cost of our Project as low as possible. We considered several strategies to keep construction costs as low as possible, including, environmentally friendly materials, the installation of solar panels, and the utilization of recyclable materials.

Professional & Personal Reflection on Advanced Practices

According to the International Standardization Organization, construction projects are classified as a type of language that is frequently used to streamline the working ties that exist between an institution and its external partners (Marshall, 2019). A project is sometimes referred to as a first phase in research frameworks because it is used to develop a project concept and its outcomes, as well as the outcomes that the researcher hopes to achieve as a result of his or her research program. A list of all the tasks and activities that will be involved in all of the work, as well as a description of the project vision and a description of the project's historical context, should be included in every type of development project as a general rule.

Steps Used in the Project Development

The individual participants' commitment to a specific project defines their investment of strength, ability, ability, effort, and ambition in the Project. This includes participation and dedication but goes beyond that by incorporating a variety of actions such as the following: Paying attention to the small details of the job. Establish and maintain strong interpersonal and professional relationships (Heinonen & Nissen., 2020). As part of the project collaboration process, an important framework was established for this Project. Under the heading customer needs, procedures include project requirements, research and development, strategies, ongoing needs, and project considerations, all of which are outlined. The project requirements document contains all of the information necessary to complete the Project. The client required this job to meet all of his specifications. In addition to design and cost, the Project's requirements included delivery and maintenance. The research and development of this work were motivated by the need for depth; this is beneficial because it provides an opportunity for consultation among those involved in the Project.

Project Delivery process

The goal of this project was about sustainable landfill gas management. The project was aimed at providing renewable cost effective and reliable energy to the locals. Several diagrams were utilized in this part, including a curriculum delivery strategy and projects that were available for submission. Additionally, topics pertaining to the many types of construction procedures were also covered.

Evaluation of outcomes achieved

Our project was about long-term gas management. We were able to attain excellence while carrying out the project in accordance with the project's objectives. We were able to install simple methane oxidation systems that were less expensive but unfavorable to the environment due to the chemicals used. We were also successful in developing internal combustion engines. The engines are non-polluting, low-cost, and portable. Solar panel installation was another accomplishment. We needed solar panels because we wanted to replace generators that emit greenhouse gases.

Skills learnt

Throughout the project, I was able to learn important techniques, particularly for installing solar panels. Communication, peer-to-peer group work, and group coordination are among the skills gained. Throughout my professional career, I learned that efficient communication is crucial to any successful team endeavor. I took my time determining what I needed to do to reach my goal. Working in groups and having the freedom to express ourselves made the second step much easier than it would have been otherwise. We were able to develop a respected workplace thanks to our capacity to communicate effectively.

Impact of covid-19

The COVID-19 epidemic has disrupted many learning opportunities, particularly those requiring large groups or in-person connection with peers. Much of the curriculum has been converted to an online format, with unknown long-term consequences. The new style is expected to have an effect on learning methods, affecting both students and teachers. In comparison to the previous format, when in-person education may have been the focus, this necessitates a methodical strategy to evaluating online teaching and learning adaptation. We primarily used online meetings and Zoom to carry out our project.

Engagement with clients to support their needs

Our key goal throughout the project was to preserve the needs of our clients. We established a section while working on the project that allowed us to freely connect with the customer. This entailed informing the clients on the project's progress and the obstacles that were encountered. We may ask inquiries about the problems and for clarity during our connection with the client. This aided us in keeping the project on track.

Challenges faced when conducting the project

Our Project was about sustainable landfill gas management. During the project, we faced many challenges, including handling materials, maintaining the proper resources, maintaining workflow, communication, and adjusting design concepts.

Communication

In any task, communication is essential, but it is especially critical when the job is shared between two or more different organizations. Important lessons can fall through the cracks if communication is not clear and effective, and the team may not be aware of the problem until it is too late to fix it. Because of this, project managers must set forth specific instructions in writing (Luhmann, N., 1992.). There should be open communication at the end of each day, informing the team of any progress or obstacles that have been encountered. Problems can be solved continuously in this manner. If face-to-face meetings are not an option, using various types of software would be a fantastic alternative.

Maintaining the proper resources.

Resource management is identifying, planning, and allocating the resources necessary to achieve project goals. It is possible to keep projects current by ensuring that project resources are met and increasing resource utilization from one Project to another through proper resource management practices. When resources are distributed inconsistently, maintaining the appropriate resources becomes a challenge. This can be dangerous if resources are automatically redistributed without first analyzing incoming needs, understanding priorities, or considering organizational goals. Before allocating resources, it is critical to have a comprehensive account of both the demand for and the availability of resources in terms of skills and roles.

Handling of Materials

In project management, asset management refers to managing items and products in terms of their movement, protection, storage, and control. Bid purchases represent a significant portion of the asset management challenges. It is common for the scope of a project to change over time, which means that the bidding process may be adversely affected. This can be illustrated by a property owner deciding that he wants to transform low-quality building materials into something of higher quality but cannot do so unless the project budget is adjusted (Pamidimukkala et al., 2020). The general contractor must agree and collaborate with local contractors, such as electrical contractors, to determine which accommodations can be made and how they will be accomplished.

Adjusting design concepts

Mistakes made during the construction of the building impose a significant burden on the structure for the remainder of its useful life, and there is no compensation for these mistakes. Composite materials can have various effects on the designs of architects and designers, and the designer should understand them. The warm movement of objects can have multiple effects on the structure. If thermal expansion is not taken into consideration, it can result in cracks in walls or concrete and structural failure.

SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEMS

To solve the problems as listed above during the execution of the project, we appointed a technical officer for handling materials. Material handling involves keeping the records of all the materials for the project. The already utilized materials their records is taken and stored as the records. Material handling enables us to focus on the project without having issues like missing materials.

Maintaining proper resources was another problem we faced. To solve this problem, we employed a skilled technician with knowledge in excel. The technician was tasked with keeping the records and appropriately locating the resources where they belong. This helped to solve the problem of inadequate resources when handling the project. Proper resource allocation is very critical part of project management, therefore as team members it was a wise thought to solve the problem.

Communication is a very difficult issue when it comes to project handling as a group. In our team we were experiencing the problem and we thought wise to address the problem. To solve communication problem during the course of the project, we employed a strategy of single communication channel technique. The technique was about having a central point from which information was first communicated before reaching out to general team. The technique was wise because we managed to prevent biasness and false information during the project.

What I learnt from the project stages

In my experience as a member of a project, I can say that the Project has provided me with numerous opportunities to learn about communication, leadership, and collaborative efforts. I managed to learn that effective communication is critical to any successful team effort throughout my professional life. I took my time to figure out what I needed to do to achieve my goal. Working in groups and being allowed to express ourselves made the second step a lot less difficult than it might have been otherwise. The ability to communicate effectively allowed us to establish a respectable workplace.Another thing I have learned is the importance of having a strong sense of leadership. It was necessary to maintain strong leadership throughout the stage group process for the work to be completed. This experience has taught me that effective leadership is critical to the success of all projects.

Conclusion

To conclude, the project aimed at providing solutions for energy through providing sustainable and cost effective energy. According to the advanced practices program, this document provides a reflective report on the agenda. The advanced practices program encourages the development of higher-level skill sets and the advancement of one's career. To ensure that the Advanced Practices module activities were efficiently managed and governed, the primary goal of the advance practice report was to provide information that would be useful in this endeavor. The program's primary purpose is to provide students with the necessary skills to think critically, which includes teaching them how to think critically. As part of the advanced practices program, students were expected to develop plans and schedules that could be used in the Project, taking into consideration the characteristics of the Project in addition to the needs of the client. Specifically, it was expected that the students would describe the methods they had used to handle the Project that was most appropriate for the client's needs, such as the requirement for early delivery of the Project and the necessity for constant client involvement throughout the Project in the report.

Future Focus

The results of this study will be utilized in the formulation of a tactical and strategic action plan. Develop a coherent and comprehensive structure for the work that will be included in my dissertation by relying on all of the experiences that have been learned during the development of the practice section. In my future professional life, being able to learn new things and tackle new obstacles will be much easier for me to accomplish with the help of these new and improved habits.
