N2  - Planning and following up for project schedules are integral parts of sound  management which help to achieve project objectives. Although the process of making  decisions in that regard is standardized to a great extent, the strategies which are used to  cope with the effect of uncertain events due to external factors depend on project  circumstances. In Egypt, managing natural gas pipeline construction projects faced  many challenges due to unpredictable risks and major security issues that faced Egypt  in recent years. This research discusses the effect of external factors on the schedules of  three ongoing gas pipeline construction projects and demonstrates how to deal with  their negative effect using suitable decision support tools. This thesis demonstrates that  a well-defined management process, with the aid of suitable decision support tools,  helps in decreasing the effect of unfortunate events on the schedules for gas pipeline  construction projects in Egypt
