Analysis of construction site operating factors. Time, Cost & Means. Facilities and organizational structure. Project Resources (staff and machines). Construction Management. Standardization, time planning, Control level project analysis (WBS, PBS, OBS). Time and financial planning methods for project planning, monitoring and control. Project cost and economic programming (real vs. contract costs). project progress Monitoring. Indicators for time and financial monitoring. Corrective actions. Construction supervision, technical and financial audits. Construction site Safety, contractor and subcontractors obligations. Legislative framework. Quality management and health and safety in technical projects. Technological features of basic construction machinery. Efficiency, machine productivity, functional analysis, construction activities costs. Exploitation - performance - productivity of basic constructions machines such as: excavator, loader, dump truck, & concrete placing). Work breakdown structure (WBS), the basic working cycle, functional analysis and activities costing. Machine coordination and optimization. Basic mechanical worksite equipment and facilities, electronic equipment (monitoring, recording, handling & remote sensing equipment) and information technology in civil engineering technical works. Basic concepts and methods of operations research. Linear Programming problems, network analysis. Procurement, Transportation, Stock & Supply problems. Queues. Project Scheduling (PERT-CPM). Simulations and Modeling of complex problems. Basic concepts and methods of Optimization. Applications of optimization in engineering issues such as: producing and distributing goods or raw materials, use of construction machinery, road coverage, queuing/processing at points of service, allocation of resources and manpower. Practical exercises take place in the department’s Laboratory of Applied Informatics.
