Abstract: In response to the difficulties in multi-disciplinary coordination, the complexity of schedule management, and the weakness of risk control in the construction of high-voltage substations, and based on the current construction status and historical experience of high-voltage projects in Jilin Province, this paper, from the perspectives of schedule and risk management, proposes a multi-disciplinary coordination and risk control strategy that integrates the work breakdown structure (WBS), design structure matrix (DSM), critical chain project management (CCPM), and the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP). First, the task flow is decomposed using WBS, and DSM-based coupling analysis is employed to identify interdependencies among disciplines, thereby optimizing task sequencing and parallel arrangements. Second, an optimized project schedule model is established using CCPM, with aggregated buffers that enhance the reliability and flexibility of schedule management. Finally, a risk register is developed based on field investigations, and a three-dimensional quality–schedule–safety risk assessment model is constructed using FAHP; targeted risk prevention and control measures are then proposed according to the quantitative evaluation results. A 500 kV substation project in Jilin Province is adopted as a case study for application and verification. Compared with traditional serial scheduling, the proposed schedule optimization strategy shortens the overall project duration by 29.1%. Furthermore, targeted management recommendations were proposed based on the risk assessment results of the project. The proposed optimization strategy can provide theoretical support and practical guidance for the construction of high-voltage substations and their associated projects, forming an effective technical solution that is scalable and replicable, and it is of great significance for improving the level of project construction management.
