Sargent Beach, Texas: A Study of Logistical Constructability Issues on a Large Project
This thesis presents an analysis of the logistical constructability issues identified for the Sargent Beach, Texas, Shoreline Protection Project. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Galveston District recognized the advantages of employing constructability concepts and agreed to establish a relationship with the Construction Industry Institute (CII) in order to achieve a constructability study on this project. By incorporating construction knowledge and experience early in the planning and design phase, the District felt that it could significantly enhance overall project success. Constructability concepts have been shown to decrease project duration, maximize construction efficiency, and optimize overall cost. This thesis was developed in conjunction with the CII study and concentrates on the logistical aspects of the project to include, construction materials, transportation and handling, and work site operations. In addition, a research methodology is outlined to assist future, similar studies in the area of logistical constructability issues. Conclusions and recommendations are presented based on the results of the analysis.
