Abstract

Risk assessment of international EPC project is the foundation of international EPC project management. This paper studies the risk assessment of international EPC projects in the light of their special characteristics. This paper tries to build an index system for risk assessment of international EPC projects from business operation of project, engineering construction and external environment. The Analytic Hierarchy Process method is applied to determine the weight of different indices and Fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is used to evaluate the risk of international EPC project. In the end, this paper describes the application of evaluation system and assessment methods through an example of international EPC project risk assessment.
