Abstract

This study was carried out aimed to investigate risks affecting increased delays in drinking water pipeline transport projects (Case Study: Regional Water Company, Kermanshah Province). The statistical population in the present study consists of employees and contractors of Kermanshah regional water company. The interview was conducted with 25 people in order to collect information and conduct interviews about the characteristics of the model. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was performed. According to the results, among the identified areas related to the group of risks related to the considerations and geological conditions of the region, the risk related to the presence of faults in the area with a calculated weight of 0.19 and a trench bed settlement with a calculated weight of 0.13 and collision with clay soil in the path with the calculated weight of the 12/0 were selected as the most important effective factors. According to the results of the main criteria validation, among the five main criteria examined, the risk related to the conditions of piping with a weight of 0.47 was the most important indicators. After that, the risks related to the considerations and geological conditions of the region and the risks associated with access to the materials and materials needed for the project, each with a weight of 0.21, were considered as important factors in determining the risk of the Kermanshah water transport pipeline project. The analysis of project risksare critical in important and high-risk projects such as water transport pipelines projectsdue tothe strategic importance of drinking water supply. Although civil engineers alone do not make critical decisions on these issues, but they are responsible for providing some specialized information to final decision makers. Surface waters and underground waters are considered as one of the main and key sources of drinking water.It is necessary for human life to know thatthe balance of water resources is threatened in quantitative and qualitative terms, in the last few decades, due to increasing population growth followed by an increase in the water needs of the country.One of the important parts of the water processesis the transfer from the source to the refinery and the transfer to the distribution network for consumption. This direction should be prevented by applying proper management and implementing the principled plans to increase the cost of transferring and constructing and constructing water transmission projects in different sectors.In this regard, it should be prevented from increasing the transfer and construction cost of water transfer projects in different sectors by proper management and implementation of substantiveplans. Each section of the project mustidentify the project risks within the project scope while aware of the activities and responses of other sectors. This study has investigated the effect of risk affecting increasing delays in drinking water transport pipelines projects in Kermanshah.
