Construction Site Management: Schedule, WBS, and Safety Analysis

This project provides a comprehensive overview of construction site management, focusing on the creation of a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) for the construction of a western abutment and a detailed schedule for the construction of a central pier for a bridge. The schedule includes a Gantt chart, a baselined Gantt chart, and a cost overview dashboard. A logical explanation for the construction process is provided, emphasizing a step-by-step approach to ensure successful project completion. Additionally, the project includes a Safe Work Method Statement, identifying potential hazards and risks associated with tasks such as pier reinforcement, concreting, and formwork removal, along with corresponding control measures to ensure worker safety and quality control.

1.2.3 Cost overview dashboard
1.2.4 Logical explanation for the construction
The construction will be carried out in a step by step manner so that required tasks are not piled up
and the complete project could be successfully completed. The construction will be carried out in a
sequential manner such that no work can proceed before completion of the previous task as
provided with predecessors while developing the schedule.

Task 2 - Safe Work Method Statement
What are the tasks involved? What are the hazards and risks? What are the control measures?
Marking of points for pier
reinforcement
Improper marking of points The marking points should be
identified and reviewed properly
before reinforcement
Tie up of reinforcement bars
with stirrups
Risk of person falling Proper safety measures should be
maintained in the worksite
Providing starter at the bottom Improper setup of the starter The starter should be
implemented with proper
checking and quality evaluation
Concreting the pier Concrete mixture is of not proper
quality
The amount concrete mix should
be identified properly as per the
height of pier
Removal of formwork Damage to pier during formwork
removal
The formwork removal works
should be carried out under the
supervision of specialists
Quality checking of pier Quality has not been checked
properly
Quality supervisor has to identify
the criteria for measuring quality
and proper checking measures
should be implemented
