Part D
The construction process is considered along with proper planning and timeline scheduling. No over allocation need to be removed and assumptions are considered for the project as stakeholders will work for 10 hours each day. The entire planning is performed considering pre-construction activities as following:
1. Project completion requirements are determined so that contractor can follow methodical process in order to balance the project.
2. The materials are ordered and contracts are awarded; sub-contracts are secured when the tilt-up components are ordered. The costs are estimated in this stage considering all the materials.
3. The concrete supply is verified, design and placement of equipment is performed so that related materials can be compatible. For specific products, the risks are addressed. The mixing of components and inherent problems are addressed in this stage.
4. The contractor familiarize themselves with building size so that existing and potential site conditions are considered.
After pre-construction phase, the construction steps are followed for construction of tilt-up facility. The construction activities are included as following:
1. Construction of Foundation is performed in the site. Placement of floor slab is performed for casting base.
2.Panels on floor slab are laid out for construction of wall along with embedded items.
3. Structural support and attachments are lifted placing formwork in places.
4. Placement of concrete, finishing and curing forms is performed.
5. Waiting period is considered for a week or 10 days. Removal of formwork is performed.
6. Insertion of cast into panels; temporary braces attachment is done; and placing panels in sequence with crane is done.
7. Connection made between panels and placement of concrete and caulking of joints.
8. Connection between walls is performed. Removal of braces is performed.
