Construction site design

Descrizione

Having experienced and assessed, by monitoring a large number of sites, some recurring lacks during the execution phase of a project, the Author puts forward a wide disciplinary reorganization, also considering the recent Italian regulations about the design, the execution and the management of architectural or civil engineering contracts - both public and private - and, last but not least, those concerning health and safety on worksites. If construction site design is correctly set and applied, not only cut down the injury risk, but also improve significantly the qualitative and the economic performance of an intervention. The organization of the yard cannot therefore be seen as a discretionary prerogative of the involved firms, but it must fit into a far more complex and articulated framework, typical of any other design discipline. So, the goal is to give a possible solution to the approximation that afflicts the construction phase organization and management thanks to a performance approach applied to the construction site design. The volume is thus addressed to the decision makers of the ergo-technique design, accompanying them in a systematic way through the structure of the construction site design, structure that consists of steps that have to be consequential, subordinate or interrelated among them. In the first part of the work, the stages and the levels of the ergo-technique design are presented defining and illustrating the site systems areas and their properly design documents, as well as the roles and responsibilities of the decision makers.
