The Engineer's Manual of Construction Site Planning

This handbook addresses problems facing the engineer when preparing to build, both during the contract bidding phase and after a contract has been concluded.

It offers clear guidelines for planning the resources and machinery on site, as well as the safe positioning of roads, cranes, storage and temporary buildings. Site planning activities are presented here in logical sequence, offering an efficient and safe design of the construction site and of the temporary works.

The book describes the process of engineering preparation of on-site construction works in all phases of the construction life-cycle, from the design phase - preparing the financial plan and procurement scheme for the owner before tendering the contract; the tendering phase; and after bid completion. A list of procedures is presented for planning the construction site in order to simplify the engineer's work of site and temporary works planning.

The Engineer's Manual of Construction Site Planning is for all those involved in the planning of construction sites, construction managers, construction engineers and quantity surveyors, as well as for students in civil engineering and construction.

There are many books on different aspects of the construction site and temporary works but these tend to describe problems resulting from the design of the construction site in the field with examples of good or bad engineering works in the form of case study analyses, e.g. descriptions of the technology of using concrete plants, of excavators or ramming machines; varying technologies for erecting the concrete elements of buildings such as roofs or floors; or the technology of using certain new building materials or scaffolding. This book will describe the process of engineering preparation of construction works on site in all phases of the construction life cycle: In the design phase for preparing the financial plan and procurement scheme for the owner before tendering the contract  (the executer is the consultant/designer) In the tendering phase (the executers are all tenderers /contractors) After winning the tender the winner prepares to execute works in the most rational and safe way. The list of procedures presented for design engineering preparation of construction on site is compiled so as to simplify the work of engineer by preparing the plan of site and temporary works to exclude unnecessary procedures or restrictions.
