Import as critical path
Shipping and receiving gates sit in front of installation, with real durations.
ICELAND
Planning and Scheduling in Iceland
Icelandic programmes are logistics programmes first. Weather, import capacity and scarce specialist plant decide the finish more often than crew size.
Iceland
If the import and the plant are late, the Gantt is fiction
Almost everything heavy arrives by sea or air under constraints a mainland schedule ignores. Weather can close outdoor work and transport at the same time. Those facts belong in the baseline.
We schedule energy, industrial, infrastructure-adjacent and building programmes with import, customs, laydown and weather as named activities. Specialist plant mobilisation is a resource and a predecessor, not an assumption in a duration.
The product is a maintainable file: detailed where Iceland carries risk, lean enough for a small project team to update every period.
On the programme
What has to be got right
Weather stoppages
Calendars on outdoor and transport activities match the site, not a generic Nordics average.
Scarce plant
Cranes and specialist equipment are scheduled as shared resources when they gate multiple packages.
Lean update cycle
A short, comparable monthly or bi-weekly rhythm a small team can keep.
How we help
How EVM Solutions supports the team
Planning, scheduling and project controls from a Manchester-based consultancy, deployed to the programme rather than tied to a local office in every city.
Iceland baselines
Logistics-first networks for energy, industrial and construction work.
Import tracking
Vendor and shipping dates tied to site activities.
Weather recovery
Re-sequencing after a closed window without inventing a new story.
Controls support
PMaaS-style capacity when the team cannot staff a full-time planner.

Questions we are often asked
Is Iceland treated the same as mainland Nordics?
The method is the same. The logistics and weather assumptions are heavier and must be explicit.
Can you plan energy projects in Iceland?
Yes. Use the Energy & Utilities industry page for sector logic and this page for Icelandic constraints.
Do you need a large local planning team?
No. We often provide the planning capacity the project cannot hire permanently for the peak.
