| description | Major building construction projects are important to the economic development
of urban areas. However, such projects have negative impacts on their surroundings,
particularly on traffic. This paper presents a framework for mitigating the traffic impacts of
building construction projects in urban areas. The proposed framework consists of two stages:
identification of the logistical construction requirements and development of an impact
mitigation plan to control the negative effects of construction traffic on the road network
and the surrounding community. The adopted methodology includes (1) a review of the
available construction traffic management plans for twenty large building projects
worldwide, (2) site visits to seven large building construction projects in urban areas and (3)
multidisciplinary focus group sessions to extract knowledge and synthesise the proposed
framework for managing the traffic impacts of building construction projects. The suggested
framework provides systematic guidance for construction planners and site managers in
developing a traffic management and impact mitigation plan for building construction
projects. This framework could also help construction planners and site managers to better
plan and manage construction activities to minimise the impact on the surrounding roads
and minimise unnecessary delays by organising timely movement of resources to and from
the construction site. |
