Product Description:

Based on the authors' combined experience of seventy years working on
projects around the globe, Construction Equipment Management for
Engineers, Estimators, and Owners contains hands-on, how-to information
that you can put to immediate use. Taking an approach that combines
analytical and practical results, this is a valuable reference for a
wide range of individuals and organizations within the architecture,
engineering, and construction industry. The authors delineate the
evolution of construction equipment, setting the stage for specific,
up-to-date information on the state-of-the-art in the field. They cover
estimating equipment ownership, operating cost, and how to determine
economic life and replacement policy as well as how to schedule a
production-driven, equipment-intensive project that achieves target
production rates and meets target equipment-related unit costs and
profits. The book includes a matrix for the selection of equipment and
identifies common pitfalls of project equipment selection and how to
avoid them. It describes how to develop an OSHA job safety analysis for
an equipment-intensive project, making this sometimes onerous but
always essential task easier. The authors' diverse and broad experience
makes this a book that ranges from the rigorous mathematical analysis
of equipment operations to the pragmatic discussion of the equipment
maintenance programs needed to guarantee that the production predicted
in a cost estimate occurs.
