Construction Equipment Management

Assignment

Interconnecting roads:

For the construction of the interconnecting roads following Are the activities & equipment which will get
involved as wearing course is asphalt 200 mm, hence the following deals with the equipment for the
asphalt roads

1. Cleaning of site:
Starting with the site clearance using various types of equipments. It uses bulldozers, scrapers and
various other equipments.

Equipment required: bulldozer, scraper etc.

2. Excavation :
Excavating the marked area with the detailed depth & cutting all the area if area is rocky type then
blasting is done at the rock side.

Equipment required: showel backer, blasting equipment

3. Quaring :
The various types of rocks are quarrying include chalk, china clay, cinder, clay, coal, construction
aggregates granite, grit stone, gypsum, lime stone, marbles, ores, stand stone etc.

Equipment required: compressors, drills, blasting equipments, loaders, dumpers/tippers etc.

4. Aggregate production:
The construction material will get loaded to the dumper & than send to the crushing plants for the
aggregate production with different size of aggregates. These aggregates are then transported &
sent to side

Equipment required::aggregate production (crushing) plants, aggregate washing / classification

plants, dumpers / tippers

5. Transportation:
Loading/unloading to site to the plant & vice-versa

Equipment required: dumper, tipper, tractor, trailer etc.

6. Leveling & compaction:
Leveling & compaction the area.

Equipment required: grader, tandem roller etc

7. Paving:
The equipment require for paving are hot mix plant, met mix plant, bituminous powder etc.

8. Lanes:
We use lane making machinery. The about selection of equipments depends on three factors:

a. Life time out past cost as per the unit work performed
b. It also depend upon the initial price
c. Lastly factory which categories the selection are the landed cost, fuel consumption of the
equipment, maintenance cost, reliability, reputation, dealership/service network, & all in
combined it is called as the decision matrix.

Assumption:

Consider the width of 1 lane=3 meter so For 2 lane=6 meter

Also considering that blasting is allowed on road side

As per the L-section of road, 2km of each road requires cutting of avg. depth of 2m, hence for 6 km, the
avg. depth of cut will be about 6m

Water bounded macadam 100 mm

Wearing cource asphalt 200 mm

3m 3m
6 km
2m 4m 6m

6 km
Total area of road=6000m*6m*1/2=18000 m 2

Considering the lane width to be 3m here for 2 lane = 6m

Hence total volume=1, 08,000 m3

Since the unit weight of aggregate=12 KN/m 3

Hence for total weight of aggregate = 12*108000=12, 9600 Ton

Since the rock is only suitable for the WBM of the 100 mm

Hence WBM quantity = 0.1m*6000*6=3600m 2

Hence total weight=12*3600=4320 T

As the aggregate weight received is 129600 ton which is much higher than the required for WBM i.e.
4320 ton

Hence there is no addition rock required for aggregate

Again quality of asphalt=0.2m*6000*6=7200

Total height=7200*12=86400 KN =8640 ton

As the crushing plant has the capacity of 60 tph

Hence total time require for asphalt=8640/60=144hrs

Hence for crushing plant of capacity 60 tph require approximately 144 hrs to produce the asphalt

Since the time is very less i.e. not more than 15 days hence the work will be get completed within the
given time.
