Abstract

CASPAR - Computer Aided Simulation for Project Appraisal and Review - is a Project Management tool designed to model the interaction of time, resources, cost and revenue throughout the entire life cycle of a project. CASPAR has the capacity t o evaluate the consequences of delay, escalation, changes to the market or production rate, which occur a t any time during development or operation. It can assist with the identification and analysis of the financial and construction risks associated with the engineering, operation, and management of the project.

Its main use has therefore been for appraisal studies and cost/benefit analyses for a variety of projects including the Severn Tidal Power Scheme, but it has also been used for the compilation of detailed operational type cost estimates for high risk overseas construction contracts. In this paper, the authors will demonstrate the use of the model for appraisal and risk analysis of a mining development.
