ABSTRACT

The ever-increasing demand for LPG requires increasing the storage capacity of existing LPG terminals or new developments to maintain and increase the coverage days of LPG terminal operations. The delay in completing EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) work on constructing the pressurized LPG terminal will impact the planned LPG terminal infrastructure roadmap and delays in obtaining benefits from the investment. This study aims at analyzing the dominant delay factors in completing work. The factors are divided into eight relevant categories. We utilized a Delphi method involving 10 experts to analyze the factors resulting from the systematic literature review. Our context reveals that there are 27 dominant delay factors with a consensus level of more than 70%. The consensus rate for the final result is also sufficient at 80%. Interviews were conducted to investigate alternative solutions to the dominant delay factors.
