RINA North America: providing predictable, cost-certain, and efficient program management and project controls

RINA’s celebrated program management, strategic planning, and project controls services focus on providing public and private clients with predictability, cost-certainty, and efficiency. Successful projects are achieved when proper planning and procedures are implemented systematically and accountably, with the ultimate goal of achieving predetermined objectives. Our project management plans are supported by project control processes that track work and identify potential gaps in schedule or cost, while monitoring performance-to-plan goals. Our comprehensive, customized reporting; earned value management; and transparent client communication provides program and project managers with the necessary visibility for making proactive decisions and predictably achieving program and project goals.
Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) major projects are supported through on-call project controls services for planning and design-build delivery.
Our services include independent cost estimating, CPM scheduling, Monte Carlo risk analysis, value engineering, peer reviews, and coordination with railroad operators. Assignments have included bridge, interchange, viaduct, and roadway reconstruction projects across Massachusetts.
This ongoing support gives MassDOT additional technical capacity and consistent project controls input during early planning, procurement, and design development.
