COURSE AND PROGRAMME

OUTCOME
At the end of the course, the students should be able
to:-
CO1: Justify basic knowledge of the engineering
management skills in the construction industry.
CO2: Construct investigation related to pre-construction
activities with implementation of good management
practices during construction.
CO3: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding or
engineering management skills in task related to structural
and material.

ECM367 PROJECT AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

» PO1: Apply knowledge of mathematics, natural science,
engineering fundamentals and an engineering
specialization to wide practical procedures and practices.

» PO5: Apply appropriate techniques, resources, and

modern engineering and IT tools to well-defined
engineering problems, with an awareness of the
limitations.

» PO11: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of

engineering management principles and apply these to
one’s own work, as a member or leader in a technical
team and to manage projects in multidisciplinary
environments.

 SITE SECURITY

To protect the To prevent children

public from site spraying on the site
hazards

To provide with suitable

perimeter fencing
CIDB
 SITE SECURITY
Standard of fencing required for a
particular site will depend on the hazards
and environmental conditions of the
worksite as well as its location.

CIDB
 SITE SECURITY
Some factors to be considered:-
Building height (e.g. more than 1
storey)
Location near shops, offices, schools,
residential areas.
Whether the site is vacant outside
work hours.
Whether there any trenches and
trench depth. CIDB
 SITE SECURITY
Consideration for level of risk:-
 High risk – Areas that the public would normally
access or pass through such as inner city areas. It is
necessary to prevent public access to the work site
 Medium risk – Areas with moderate public traffic
such as suburban residential areas. It is necessary to
restrict access to the worksite and provide warning
of the hazard

 Low risk – Areas with minimal public access such as

rural areas require a lower level of protection

CIDB
 SAFE MEANS OF ACCESS
 Safe access and good visibility

 Separate pedestrian route

 Trained banks man/traffic controller

 One-way system

 Routes must be maintained in good order

 Suitable warning and directional signs

CIDB
 STORAGE OF MATERIALS
Location of store and storage areas
will be determined by:-
 The availability of space

 The nature of the materials

 Any statutory requirements e.g. in relation to

highly flammable materials or explosives.

 To suitable off loading areas and lifting

equipment.

CIDB
 LIFTING APPLIANCES
Physical features on the site, building under
construction and environmental constraints
will determine positioning of cranes, hoist
and other lifting appliances.

CIDB
 TEMPORARY SERVICES
The positioning and marking of temporary
services should be carefully undertaken to
avoid possibility of accidental damage.

CIDB
 TEMPORARY STRUCTURES
Adequate space must be allowed for lighting
towers and for scaffolding and other
support work.

CIDB
 WASTE MANAGEMENT
Rubbish dumping area must be allocated.
Arrangements for regular disposal must be
determined particularly for scheduled waste.

CIDB
 CAR PARKING
Consideration should be given in parking
facilities either on or off site.
