[SOLVED] CE 574 Construction Means Methods Final Exam

CE 574: Construction Means & Methods Final Exam

Project Execution Plan Team Presentation: 12/17, 4:30 PM via Zoom

SECTION 1.0 – PROJECT INFORMATION

This section of the Project Execution Plan is intended to provide the basic pertinent project information.

Project Information

Name:

Address:

Team Members:

Project Details: Provide a brief description of the project scope and size including but not limited to Product type, Gross SF, Lot size, Building footprint, number of stories, number of units (if applicable), number of parking stalls, etc.

SECTION 2.0 – SITE ANALYSIS

This section of the Project Execution Plan addresses specific site restrictions and challenges for the project site and its surrounding areas. A Site Logistics Plan along with a narrative should be included as part of this section. The Logistics Plan and/or narrative should address the following items at a minimum

Site Constraints & Neighboring Properties: Illustrate and discuss the proposed site access plan and identify any site constraints on-site and/or at surrounding properties. Examples of site conditions/constraints may include power lines, easements, and adjacent structures.

Traffic Plan/Street Closures: The Site Logistics Plan to be submitted as part of this plan should identify site access, traffic restrictions, and proposed street and sidewalk closures. Discuss the traffic closure strategy and potential costs associated with the closures. Identify sidewalk protection, fencing, K-rail, and overhead canopy requirements.

Haul Route: Prior to the award of the grading scope of work, identify if a haul route is required for the project. Verify if the project falls under the hillside requirements for haul routes, and haul route approvals.

Hoisting Strategy: Prepare a hoisting plan that identifies a hoisting strategy for the entire project. Include a logistics plan of the tower crane layout and elevations. Include one crane assist plan for erection and dismantle of one tower crane – assume a 500-ton mobile crane will do the job.

SECTION 3.1 – CONCRETE LOGISTICS

This section of the Project Execution Plan addresses the specific project site related challenges and the Team’s overall management approach to the project. The plan should breakdown the scope of work by concrete work areas and address the following:

Concrete Pours Breakdown & Sequence: For Building 2 only, provide floor plans with pour breaks, construction joints, SF and CY per pour, deck cycles if applicable, etc. Should present a clear sequence of how the concrete work will be executed including an explanation of the constraints and reasons for the sequencing. The pour sequencing plans should include decks only.

Concrete Deck Formwork Sequence: For Buildings 1, 2, 5, 6, and 7, identify how the deck formwork system will be cycled throughout this half of the project. Assuming $0.70/sf for deck formwork rental and $0.20/sf for deck reshoring rental (three floors of reshoring required at all “wet deck” shoring), estimate the total rental cost for deck formwork and reshoring.

SECTION 3.2 – STRUCTURAL STEEL LOGISTICS

The plan should breakdown the scope of work by steel work areas and address the following:

Structural Steel Building Areas & Sequence: Identify in plan the structural steel to be erected. Discuss hoisting concerns, access, and how these areas will be sequenced with the concrete structure. Your explanation should include highlighted areas of steel vs. concrete with schedule dates clearly identified and tying back to overall project schedule, ensuring the workforce is kept safe at all times.

SECTION 4.0 – PROJECT SCHEDULE & SEQUENCING PLAN

This section of the Project Execution Plan addresses the project schedule and sequencing plan for the project. The intent of the schedule plan is to identify critical project milestones and identify the potential time driven risks that can potentially impact the efficient completion of the work. The subject plan should convey the Team’s plan for sequence and flow of the work to allow for coordination of all the trades and manpower management of self- performed labor.

Building Turnover Plan. Complete a sequencing map to illustrate the start and finish dates of each building. Be sure to take into consideration the use of the building and your expectation of when the client will need to occupy the building. Use any of the following sheets to complete this exercise: A1.01, A1.02, A1.09.

Schedule. The Project Team shall prepare and submit Schedule identifying sequence, workflow and duration of critical work activities. The Schedule must illustrate the conceptualized critical path for the work and identify key milestone activities and dates for the project. The Schedule must provide sufficient detail appropriate to the size and complexity of the project.

SECTION 5.0 – INNOVATION STRATEGY

This section of the Project Execution Plan outlines the Team’s innovation strategy for the project.

Innovation Narrative. As part of this section include a brief narrative outlining the Team’s goal of implementing a new technology to assist in construction means and methods. Describe the problem you are solving and quantify the expected cost savings or risk management advantage associated to the innovation. List one KPI that you will use to quantifiably measure success.
