Abstract: In construction industry, there is no risk free project. There are various types of risk associated in a hilly construction project. Risk is identified and then risk assessment and analysis is done. Then risk management and risk mitigation process is carried out in order to reduce risk. Various types of risk associated with hilly construction projects are identified from case study, papers and field study. The identified risk factors are grouped under 9 categories. Risk factor is characterized by its occurrence and impact. The occurrence and impact score for different types of risk are collected from site and online survey from experts and weighted average mean interval score is calculated. From the score value obtained, the risk priority is given using risk heat map. Then find feasible strategy to mitigate the risk in hilly areas.
