Introduction
• Construction is the ultimate objective of a
design.
• Equipment make that objective possible.
• This course introduces the concepts of:
– Equipment utilization
– Economically match equipment capability to
specific construction project requirements.

Machines make It Possible
Men and machines transform a
project plan into reality.
As machines evolve there is a
continuing transformation of
how projects are constructed.
History of
Construction Equipment
In 1852, construction in the United
States was changing from canal
building to railroad construction.
But construction, was still achieved
by the power of man and animal.
CurrentA spectrum of geospatial technologies
is being developed for the purposes of
aeronautic navigation, mobile robot
navigation, and geodesy.
Construction
contractor works
under a unique set
of production
conditions affect
equipment
management.
The Construction Industry
At each new site,
the company
proceeds to set up
and produce a
one-of-a-kind
project.
The Construction Industry
SafetyThe rate of personal injury and death
resulting from construction work is too
high.
Occupational Labor
Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA)
Planning Equipment Utilization
Each piece of construction
equipment is specifically designed
to perform certain mechanical
operations.
Planning Equipment Utilization
The task of the project Planner is to
match the right machine or
combination of machines to the job at
hand.
After:
• Studying the plans and specifications
• Visiting the project site
• Performing a quantity take off
Planning Equipment Utilization
The planner must visualize how to best
employ specific pieces of equipment to
accomplish the work.
