Site layout requirements

Tommelein (1989) defines Construction site layout and its benefits as below:

“ identifying the facilities that are temporary needed to support construction operation on a project but that do not form apart of the of the furnished structure: determining the size and shape of these facilities; positioning them within the boundaries of the available on-site or remote areas” (Fangyi Zhou, 2006)

“the so called temporary facilities usually remain on site for a period ranging from a few days to several months or even years, a time period that ranges from duration of a construction activity to the duration of a major phase of the entire construction period” (Fangyi Zhou, 2006)

“ a well-organized site facilities inventory control , cuts travel times, reduces noise and dust, prevents obstructions and interference, increases safety and security, and improves site access” (Fangyi Zhou, 2006)

According to Fangyi Zhou, considerations affecting the site layout are shown below:

Efficiently using site space to accommodate resources throughout a construction project is fundamenta to success of project.

So optimizing the construction site layout using models such as physical and computational is the interest of many researchers.

(Fangyi Zhou,2006)

Site Layout has a great effect on project costs, therefore, models are used to simulate the different site layouts and choose the best one. (Fangyi Zhou,2006)
