lecture 12

Question 1

WE will talk about the technical studies that will be done on the planning phase

Answer 1

true

Question 2

Liquidated damages

Answer 2

should contractor be late on delivering the project , penalties willl be imposed, they are clalculated bu knowing how much lost/cost wil be imposed by not opening by that day

Question 3

every project will go through a preproject planning phase

Answer 3

what type of facility i will build
what function it will serve
what objective it is serving and what is its scope

Question 4

what types of studies that are need ed in the planning phase

Answer 4

true

Question 5

Firsst type of studies is the project local

Answer 5

is it at the country level, or regional level, or discret level

Question 6

Also kind of facilities that i wanna have

Answer 6

Like if you are having a real estate project , i the 1980s you will have large facilities, know u will have small ones

Question 7

ALso type of construction

Answer 7

Cast on site construction
or
modular construction (prefabricated modules)
faster, much easier if you have space limitations.
Disadvantages : More expensive, lifting of high loads into place (technical requirements), Not flexible as cast on site

Question 8

Also. are there contractors for the type of the projects

Answer 8

true

Question 9

Availability of suppliers

Answer 9

true

Question 10

Availbaility of suppliers

Answer 10

true

Question 11

Site information

Answer 11

topography conditions

Question 12

These studies are donr by consultants or by design firms

Answer 12

true

Question 13

A lot of geotechnical studies are done on the design phase, however there are some geotechnical studies that are done on the planning phase

Answer 13

true

like topographic maps, sites around, previous projects, vegetation…

Question 14

In the design phase u divide the site to a grid and u decide upon the digging places

Answer 14

true

u need to know type of soil to know bearing capacity, slope stability, water level , cavities

Question 15

After that these information will be given to the contractor , however the contractor will have 90 days to do his own geotechnical studies (More detailed in order to confirm the design , if it is different than the designer they will change contracting terms)

Answer 15

true,

the designer will do geotechnical studies in order to have input for designing

Question 16

Also, a traffic impact assessment will need to be done to see how traffic will be afffected

Answer 16

true
Impact of the project during construction phase and during operation phase
additional volume of cars

Question 17

Power and water sources

Energy sources

Answer 17

Will I need my own generators, will the public load hold

Question 18

Also environmental feasability impact assessment, emissions and pollutions
Effect on ecosystem (for example in dams

Answer 18

true

Question 19

Carbon footprint

Answer 19

how amount your activity have carbon emissions (burning fossil fuels)

Question 20

U have embodied footprint

Answer 20

every material has embodied CO2, during manufacturing and during tranportation

Question 21

U have operatinal CO2

Answer 21

during the operation , i am consuming a lot of energy and thus emiiting a lot of CO2
U can forecast that by energy modeling

Question 22

In order to reduce CO2 footprint

Answer 22

use recycled materials, use smarter technologies in production

Question 23

LCA assessment (life cycle assessment

Answer 23

through out the life cycle of the project and facility , you are assessing it is impact (embedded and operational)

Question 24

Also i will have economic feasbility

Answer 24

profits, benefits, costs,

bigger than financial (like parks have recreational benefits for people, fixing roads reduce mortalities)

Question 25

financial feasability

Answer 25

pure cas in cas out, pure financial dollar terms

Question 26

value engineering

Answer 26

optimize the design of the facility considering all the life cyles (building ,operation , maintenance) it is done by function analysis by listing all the functions and optimize the required function of my product with respect to the amount of money invested/ most cost effective way.
You have proactive value engineering that is in the planning and design phase ( optimizew my design)
Also i have a reactive value engineering, owner can no more afford during construction , so i reduce size of project

Question 27

proactive is better because i have more control on the projector

Answer 27

true

Question 28

Value engineering is done through planning, desing and construction

Answer 28

true

Question 29

value engineering can be done in weighted matrix example presentq

Answer 29

true
