Infrastructure Project Cost Estimating Work Breakdown Paul Hewitt, International Project Estimating Limited Introduction Construction Cost Estimating Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) The term WBS has become a common term in all fields related to Cost Engineering including Construction Cost Estimating, Scheduling and Project Cost Control. A well defined WBS is the backbone of good Construction Estimating Software and can take several forms including the breakdown of items within an estimate, the layout of
The Heart of Road Construction Workers We all have driven by a construction zone or been a passenger. Before you drive into a road construction zone you will see warning signs indicating that you are approaching a specific work zone. Typically, these signs will say “Three miles ahead work zone, speed limit 55 and any injury to a worker you will be fined 10,000 dollars.” Next, you will see men and women working and others supervising.

Road is important a route, that connect two places that has been paved. Pavement road is road design for vehicles to go on it. There are many types of rad such as municipal road, federal road, and much more. Road design with two lane for two-way direction for the not busy area. Road with three or more lanes is known as highways. Design of Highways and roads request enormous amounts of materials for their construction. The need for earth-based materials makes impacts of energy consumption, resource

Highways are extremely important to a nations development in economical way. The high quality road networks construction directly leads to an increase in the nation 's economy and its output by reducing the factors. For example, journey, time and costs. Such advantages can make the nation more economically attractive. According to Roger L. Brockenbrough(2009, p.2) Highway projects can possibly bring about huge social, environmental, and financial impacts and, as an outcome, are the subject of a broad
INTRODUCTION : Construction of roads in black cotton soil areas has been problematic due to their low bearing capacity and the detrimental effects of volume instability arising from swelling and shrinkage characteristics of such soils during wet and dry seasons. Such problems assume greater acuteness where the water table is high and clayey subsoil stratum is thick. A Perfect example of a case history study can be considered from “Gudivada-Bantumilli” State Highway, which passes through a plain
extinct. Fan, Li, Quan, Wu, Hu, and Yang investigated the effects of road construction on endangered Qinling giant pandas. Road construction can greatly affect the environment. According to the article, the harmful effects of roadway expansion “extend to an area ten times broader than the roadway itself” (Fan et al., 2011, p. 145). It can cause harmful chemicals to contaminate water sources and food supplies. Subsequently, road construction isolates species from one another, and this in turn “blocks gene
