Brottkärrshöjden Skanska: Facts About The Project Findings, Data & Reflections
EXCAVATOR 1 (ORANGE)
OUR METHOD
Brief interviews with the site management of the ground works
Free observations,: order in the construction site, 7+1 waste
Systematic observations, following two
excavators and workers
FREE OBSERVATIONS
The construction site was divided into ground
works and construction of houses and the
two Skanska teams did not collide since they
worked in different places on the site. Therefore they could perform their tasks without
disturbing each other. The size of the site
enabled the actors to use all the space they
needed, therefore material and equipment
could be placed where found appropriate.
SUMMARIZING REFLECTIONS
Reducing non added value in ground work is
problematic in the sense that it is difficult to
say what is in the ground even though investigations are performed in advance. Another
challenge is that several actors work at the
same location and are interdependent. The
environment on the construction site can
change rapidly and an area used for material
storage could a few days later be the area of a
house. This could lead to delays that effects
the project which requires good planning of
surfaces and logistics.
UNNECESSARY TRANSPORT
The workers had to walk from the
working area to the material storage to
pick up cellular plastic, which included
walking across the foundation of house
11. This resulted in time loss for transporting material and it can also lead to
damages on the foundation they had to
cross. To dispose of unusable material
the workers had to walk to the container for rubbish which mostly is a tiring
work but also a time loss because of the
long way of transportation. Maybe the
workers walked to the container only
because they had nothing else to do.
WORKER 1 & 2
Observations and data were collected on
two workers and we defined, in this case,
that the value adding work was performing
work on the ground, such as rake and measuring heights. The non-value adding work is
when one worker was waiting for the other
worker to complete the work. In that case
one worker waits when the other is still
working. Resting time is when both workers
do not do anything. As for excavator 1, one
challenge is that the two workers can not
work in the same space at the same time.
