Construction sitework and equipment paper: You are given the site preparation, excavation, and concrete works for the foundation of a large residential project close to downtown Miami.

The land is 300 yards long and 200 yards wide. Currently, an old 4-story residential building with a total gross area of 90,000 sq. ft. exists in the land which has to be demolished before site preparation and excavation.

BCN 3727 CONSTRUCTION SITEWORK & EQUIPMENT Fall 2017, Term Project (150 Points)

Due 11/28/2017- 2:00 PM

1. INTRODUCTION You need to search web resources, operator’s manuals, or other commercially available data

related to functionality, capacity, productivity, and other specifications of different types of construction equipment which you deem appropriate for the project described below. You will need to make reasonable assumptions for the project (e.g. with regards to soil and concrete properties such as density). Then, you will compare different alternatives based on their overall ability to do the job, productivity, and versatility of their functions for the project. Ultimately, you will select a few equipment fleet alternatives (at least two alternative fleets) and make a rough estimate of the project time and cost using those equipment. Finally, you will select an optimum fleet for your project.

2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION You are given the site preparation, excavation, and concrete works for the foundation of a large residential project close to downtown Miami. The land is 300 yards long and 200 yards wide. Currently, an old 4-story residential building with a total gross area of 90,000 sq. ft. exists in the land which has to be demolished before site preparation and excavation. The rest of the land is filled with:

– 10 trees: 1 to 2 ft. in diameters – 60 trees: 2 to 3 ft. in diameters – 40 trees: 3 to 4 ft. in diameters All tress should fell and vegetation should be grubbed before the excavation starts. The site is reasonably level terrain with firm ground and less than 25% hardwood. The project specifications requires excavating 10 ft. of the entire land and replacing it with steel-reinforced concrete with a compressive strength greater than 6,000 psi. You have identified a disposal site 3 miles away from the jobsite. Decide on the types and number of different construction equipment (Dozers, Excavators, Hauling Trucks, etc.) that you will use for this project. Search the web to identify appropriate Equipment models and brands for your job. Decide about the appropriate method for providing the required concrete on the jobsite and identify suppliers to procure concrete or raw materials from. Make reasonable assumptions wherever information is not provided in the project description (e.g. about density and moisture content of soil, type and extent of concrete reinforcement, etc.).

3. GRADING Term project will be graded out of 150 and weighs 15% in your final grade.

Final deliverables include a 6000-8000 words report and a 10-minute presentation due on November 28, 2017 before the start of the class.

The report should contain calculations and reasoning used for preparation of the sitework plan. The report should also explain the assumptions, data sources, and methods used for creating the site work plan.
