Abstract

Throughout their lifespan, projects are constantly exposed to risks and opportunities; risk management is one of the factors that contributes to project success, particularly in Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) projects. Risks can come from several different places, including a lack of
funding, unforeseen circumstances, strategic mistakes, etc. However, EPC projects are well-known for their complexity, which makes managing and controlling them with absolute certainty challenging. To increase the likelihood of successful project completion and mitigate the effects of uncertainty, it is essential to identify and manage risks properly. This study's purpose is to present a systematic review of literature on risk assessment in EPC projects, identify common risks and establish criteria for prioritizing risks.
